In War Thunder no armour is best armour.

I remember when the Jumbo was 4.7. It was damn near overpowered at that BR. It was so good that it was the first Premium I ever bought and used it to grind out basically the whole US tech tree.

The 76 Sherman’s might be good in the hands of people who have played for years, but in the hands of people who have just unlocked them, and aren’t as great players, they are horrible. Having to snipe weak points in a tank that is one shot by enemy vehicles is not a good learning ground. It makes the grind unbearable.

I agree. I didnt enjoy the 76mm until the jumbo version. You're up against tanks with serious advantages and the 76mm, whilst it does everything well, is usually at a disadvantage. Panthers will snipe you because mobility isnt good enough to avoid the guns and russian tanks outbrawl you, so you're kind of stuck in the middle trying to find a spot you can hide in whilst shooting out.

@augmentedman251

Honestly, as someone who unlocked and used these tanks as a new player, I gotta disagree with this. Having gone through the 75 Shermans just to reach the 76s provided ample time to get used to the tank and by the time I reached them it felt like a natural progression of the skills I already developed. additionally, the tanks versatility and ability to adapt to almost any role makes them more forgiving in my experience.

It is important to mention that since gaijin reduced the horsepower on all the 76mm gun shermans (except for the jumbo) aswell as the M18 *for no historical reason* the Panther can now outrun and outexcelerate all the 76mm gun shermans. In case you are curious: M4A1(76) and M18 went from 460 Horsepower to 400 Horsepower All M4A2s went from 420 to 410 Horsepower. M4A3(76) and italian M36B1 went from 500 horsepower to 450 horsepower. It is especialy obvious that these changes have no basis in reality because of the complete lack of consistency as the M4A3E2 and M36 still have 500 horsepower even though they have the exact same engine and transmission as the M4A3(76). Not only that but they were deployed before the M4A3(76). Gaijin made this change a couple of updates ago and didnt mention it in any of their changelogs. The entire war thunder community should have been outraged about this but since gaijin made this change in silence most players didnt even notice it. Even the U.S. players. If we allow gaijin to make random biased ahistorical changes to the U.S. tanks it means that they can make the same ahistorical biased changes to all tanks in the game.

Your right ✅️

One thing worth noting that wasn't mentioned- the (W) suffix on the 76mm Shermans refers to the fact that they have wet ammo stowage. Most of the time this won't really do much for you, since a lot of stuff at their tier will oneshot if it pens anyway, but it does remove stowage from easy to hit spots like beside the driver or in the center and sides of the hull, and also reduces the risk that your ammo will cook off quickly due to a fire.

I got my Calliope from a 75% coupon myself. Around when I was first grinding the tech tree, at that. I brought that thing all the way up the BR range with me. Managed to kill an IS7 with the rockets when that thing first came out. Probably my proudest War Thunder moment.

@oopsiesidied

2 жыл бұрын

My friend's crowning achievement in the Calliope is lobbing rockets across Berlin and killing an 88 Flak Bus the by hitting a T-34-57. He always tries to lob rockets spawn to spawn now. He rarely gets kills, but he almost always splashes some people or knocks out a track.

46:46 lmao, what a moment. Secret Service turret making the play of the game.

That T20 moment made me even sadder. I bought it a few months ago while grinding America and it became my favorite tank in the US tech tree. It was perfectly balanced at 5.7, as your armor was shit, gun mediocre, but very good mobility. This plus the M4A3E8 and M18 was so much fun to play with. They should've kept the T20 at 5.7 and just put the Easy 8 at 5.3 because there should be no way an Easy 8 fights Tiger II Hs. But, no I guess the T20 is equal to the fuckin' Jagdpanther and it facing *M48A2Cs* is ""balanced"". Still happy I bought it, remains one of my favorites although if I wanna play America, I now play the M4A2 and M24. Side note: The M4A2/M24 combo was probably the best event combo ever until Gaijin moved all the M24s to Rank II because reasons. Still a good SL grinder duo.

@spudeism

What's even more sad about T20 that in uptiers you might face IS-3 against which you have no way of killing it in typical encounters. As far as I know only shot straight from the side, between the the track wheels from like 200m or less away is the only way with 76mm gun. Otherwise you have to resort on trying to break the gun barrel or tracks and hope your teammates can finish it off.

Also, the T55E1 is “protected” by structural steel, not RHA. Basically even autocannon HE and .30 cal mg can penetrate the armor.

One tactic with corner peaking with the m6a1 with dual cannon.. if "dueling" a tank around a corner or whatever.. you can use the small cannon to make the enemy think you missed and then could make his move on your reload but.. you still have your 76mm ready and loaded. They wont take the bait all the time but sometimes it works

War thunder guides: angle your armor, you will be practically god When I angle my armor: shots go right through like I have soggy cardboard for armor

PERSONALLY, I love playing my jumbo and it’s premium clone the cobra king. They make for great brawling tanks on maps like advance to the rhine, Berlin and even Stalingrad if set up right. The only issues I have with them is long range maps like maginot, firearce and Kursk where it’s easy to get sniped long range by 88’s, so in my experience and play style of the tanks I definitely prefer close quarters and facehugger maps that let me utilize the troll hull armor and turret

Your voice helps my mind to calm down so I can sleep better. Thx!

This inspired me to play the 75 Jumbo again and it's very cathartic. High-top tier may be the best tier for me, but there's just something about fighting multiple enemies in low tier up close and personal and actually winning those engagements instead of getting slapped by players making use of the breech meta.

I've always loved the M4A2/Jumbo combo. Any time 6.0-6.7 gets rough for me, I go back to my happy place lol. I'm so glad you discussed the differences in how different the play styles really are in the Shermans and how the M18 isn't as forgiving as people think. 😂

Good stuff. I think that the USA rank 3 stuff isn't terrible but it was very frustrating to play as a new player. Because the 75 & 76's don't have stupendous amounts of penetration, you really have to know the weak spots on all sorts of tanks. And long range engagements with those guns can be pretty awful.

Bruh Versatile is good IRL, but in game it just means you suck at everything and when you attempt to do something, someone will do it better and kill you.

Surprised oxy didn’t mention the trick with the M6A1 where you can fake an enemy out with the smaller gun. If your in aiming at an enemy and their behind cover you can fire the smaller gun which might fool the enemy into thinking you fired your main gun and missed. If they think you fired the 76 they’ll pullout of cover thinking your reloading and thats when you when you get them.

I miss the old M6A1… back when it had APHE and the 75 jumbo was 5.0 and lined up well. Hold up- it has APHE back?! Alright cya time to play some WT

Hey Oxy, nice video as usual! I would like to ask if you could do a review on the south African branch of the British tech tree, since I feel like it needs its own guide

For the part with the Jumbo sherman, a sort of hidden pro to it is that many tiger and panther players don't seem to know how to tell a regular m4a1 and jumbo apart, and just try to center mass or even shoot at the turret just to harmlessly ricochet off or just be plain absorbed. This gives you ample time to get two shots in before either one could reload their next shot, which is enough to kill them. A perfect example is a game I had where I managed to solo four tigers at the same time on Poland (In the town section just below A). Two came around a corner, shot one in the side, other swung around and shot my turret doing absolutely nothing, APHE to the cupola, apcr to the co/driver. Two more just hit the road into the town and start firing, bouncing off, meanwhile I just hit a cupola shot on both of them until they died. Neither one tried to move behind cover when the only crew I hit on both first shots were the gunner/commander, like they just figured that a 75mm sherman couldn't possibly pen them from the front. I'm sure it's a mix of german players rushing tigers and assuming they're Rommel, then to just to get stomped on by a "lowly Sherman". Panthers, aside from the A type, are honestly the only ones I try to avoid frontally, mantle shots can be a pain in the rare case where they know to slightly angle the turret. The Panther A, like the sherman, has a giant gunner port that for some reason I never see bushed at all (not complaining though).

Can't wait for the rank IV vid.

The Shermans, moreso than just about any tank, will teach you to be better at war thunder. Also, their 50cals, in addition to all their other positives, make them even more versatile than anything they face. M4a2 75mm is my number 1 tank in war thunder, but I love them all.

There actually was a time, about two years ago, that I came face to face with a KT(H) in my Hellkitty on Vietnam. I fired, and did nothing- he fired, and knocked my track out. So, I loaded my APCR, hit him through the mantlet, and took his ammo out! It was a happy day.

Oxy: Sorry for the long video Me: YEEEES AN 1 HOUR VIDEO

A tip on how to play the jumbo. If you can angle the armor to the right slightly. Any tank who shots the mg port will most likely hit the mg only and the shrapnel or explosive sometimes will just be directed to the empty side of the tank. Minimal damage. Maybe… Sometimes it works but not all the time. It can help though in a pinch!
