Kinda surprised you didn't talk about the T34's back plate on the turret, it's very thick and heavy to counterbalance the 120mm gun, and is over 190mm thick, if things get super dicey and a tiger or panther or T-44 is trying to roll up behind you, you can just point the back of the turret at them. It's a super inviting target for the unaware and they will be unable to hurt you, and you can try to swing your gun around after they fire if you aren't disabled. Not reliable but just hilarious

Thanks Oxy, for this great video, very inspiring and educational. Thanks also to all your smaller contributions to making War Thunder a better place for us, such as the wiki work, giving feedback about how to make the game better. I am sure there is a lot we aren't even aware of that you have had an influence on, so thanks a lot. I was really happy to add your decal to my collection. I needed to see and hear these tips because as I am getting into the 6.0 range I feel that I am struggling pretty hard. Though I am not sure it can be helped. I just do not see people. Sometimes it is blatant, sometimes it is because of visual obstruction but it is really frustrating. One can learn where enemies might be sitting, feels like it comes over time, just really frustrating because it encourages passive play and many games I am not making an impact either way. That or maybe I have a decent grip on a map and then I get a 1 or two cap and it is all out the window.

You are off your rocker with the jumbo 76. You literally can't do anything with the 76 mm as a heavy tank against other heavy tanks at your br. Sure ANY tank can kill those squishy tanks at 7.3 how does that add to your point at all. It faces heatfs and apfsds wich are all on tanks that get to positions before you. And you face heavy tanks that are literally impossible for you to pen. Pros: stabilizer, first shot ability, ok mobility. Cons: bad armor for the br, bad gun, ok mobility That would have been objective and imo honest. I think your emotional attachment to this tank definitely clouded your judgment. Just my opinion though. I dont mind the 76 jumbo but it is definitely over br'd. what playstyle does it accel at that objectively places it at its br? Genuinely curious, and willing to try.

I would agree with most of your points, except for your argument for the 76mm Jumbo. I get that it’s reactivity gives it an edge over its contemporaries, but considering that it’s armour can be easily dealt with in any location by the enemies at your tier, you can get near identical performance if not better with for example the M4A2 (76) W (which sits at an entire br lower) given the higher top speed. It is certainly an excellent tank which can get a definite advantage over the tanks it faces in certain situations, but it’s currently br is unjustifiable.

'Tom and Jumbo sitting in a tree...'. Great to have you back doing these. really insightful. Yours are the only WT guides I pin. Re T25-E5, I think most players like the idea that at least 1 tank in your lineup should excel, as this does at 6.3. If everything is perfectly balanced, it can become less enjoyable as effectively your choice of vehicle becomes somewhat redundant I feel.

My problem with the jumbo is how it fails as a heavy tank. When looking at its peers the jumbo is hopelessly outclassed in nearly every way besides getting the first shot off. Yeah the jumbo has good armor but it doesn't mean anything when anything German can just point and click on you. The firepower is good but when you're constantly fighting king tigers it ceases to be impressive. And the mobility that really wasn't great in the first place sucks even more since the 76 is heavier. The jumbo 76 was never something I picked up at 6.0 because it just seemed like a shitty panther with a stabilizer without a lineup. And now there is no way in hell I'm going to play that turd a 6.3 especially after the t26e5 was moved up.

In the jumbo segment I heard "Matchups are made purely on performance" and it kinda drove me up the wall. It's a pretty incorrect statement. It's pure *numbers* according to what little was said to us through people like Smin and Stona. Not *actual performance*. It's not a secret either, it's blatantly not a secret just like the soft little lie by omission about 10% of top tiers in a match being "in a match" and not "in a team". Wording is important there and it also is important here. We all know about the recent occurrence of a certain clan statpadding a BR increase on an already considered badly performing jet and we can draw conclusions from that without much hassle. Can a Jumbo deal with a Leo? Sure. It can. If the Jumbo is piloted by a decently skilled person and the Leo is stupid enough to not outposition the Jumbo to begin with. And that's where the dog is buried, so to speak. The skill of the player involved is what drives the BR situation, not the raw performance of the vehicle itself. If there's only a handful of people sweating their asses off making this tank work - it will stay there. If a blatantly undertiered tank is piloted by a horde of pillocks - it will stay there. To compare tanks on their characteristics in this situation is missing the point and playing into snail's little bullshit charade. Stop doing that and start focusing on the real crux of the issue. Many vehicles need a proper, player-driven playtest and a significant BR reassessment, the two mentioned in that segment being probably the biggest example only surpassed by Panther vs. Pershing comparison.

the absolute state of german teams :D all they had to do is to sneeze in your general direction but that is too much to ask sometimes. good job by the way, well played.

Thx for all the effort . I consider myself as a casual beginner and this series is the best i could find to get an overview over the vehicles. Only problem.. now i want to start all the nations at once. Future video idea: The same format for every nation, but not how to play the vehicles. This time a weakspot and how to take the vehicles out - guide. That would be awesome.

I am so excited for the rank 5 review, as a mainly patton tank player I can’t wait to hear what you have to say on them. Keep it up man!

oxy thank you so much for these videos. they really are amazing

Really like these kinds of videos and overviews.

As someone who was playing on an original xbox one with keyboard and mouse, the viability of the 76 jumbo honestly also depends on your frame rate. In a lot of situations, my game would get as low as 15-20 fps, and hitting a gun barrel is really hard at that speed. I'm now on the Series X, so it's easier to fine-tune my aim, but its still a factor.

Feel your pain. Played on a PS4 slim for years before I got a PC.

I still get excited everytime an oxy video comes out. I started watching when the Final russia video released. I watch and rewatch every warthunder video he’s done because they’re entertaining to watch and great to listen to

Ironically enough, in the Asia servers the T26E5’s reaction time is substantial, against every single tank they always bounce or shoot without aiming and it’s always easy to hit the second shot right on… unless you get paired to fight against BMPs and Marauders

I’ve gotten 3 nukes on the M26 T99. I usually empty the top ammo rack, and just use the bottoms. If you learn to use it you can overpressure heavy tanks from underneath, and many other tactics. I also learned a method of launching the rockets onto points, and If it is far away enough, the rockets land on the roof areas of tanks and overpressure them.

I absolutely love the T26E5. The armor is fantastic and consistently blocks the strongest guns at its BR apart from HEAT and sabot. The gun is also still potent at 6.7, with the APCR being able to pen a Tiger 2's turret. As someone who used the king tiger a lot I find it plays very similarly. You can basically just push forward with some friendly tanks and tank shots while the others make sure your sides are protected. The gun can reliably pen pretty much anything except for soviet heavy tanks, but thankfully most of them can't pen you either, which means that you are typically able to shoot their barrel and immobilize them while they reload.

Very informative. Thank you.

The T26E5 got upBRd from 6.3 to 6.7

BEEN waiting for this

thanks for your effort, your work is appreciated ♥️

Worth mentioning with the T34 and T29 is that the triple .50s absolutely shred lighter vehicles, not just tracks. There's been several times where I've surprised a cocky BMP that got my barrel/breach by just unloading all the MGs

That's what I love about the T-series heavies, even if your commander is knocked out you can still use your .50 x2

I really appreciate your perspective on the jumbo

Oxy’s back :D It is incredible how much time you put into your videos, and you have helped me with your knowledge. What nation are you planing to do next? Cheers

Light has returned to this dark realm

4:25 Correction, it doesn’t have any of the downsides of APCR save for post pen damage and angles, and even then, it is still no where near as bad as APCR in these regards. In addition, it also work great at range thanks to its high velocity and it retains a lot of penetration at range, even compared to APBC shells.

I have stonking games in the M36, the gun is just so good. Was surprised to come back and see it at 5.3, actually made a US 5.3 lineup around it which I've never had on the US. Jackson, Jumbos, M4 76 and M24 its a VERY fun line-up.

Outstanding!!...I don't play tonks but I love watching your vids...

I’ve been looking forward to this

Yesssss, another one!!! Thanks OXY!!!

I love this channel so much. That tangent about your awful joke about the scorpion made my day.

Now THIS is what I’m thankful for

Dude, lets go, i was watching the british review last night lol and thinking when this would be out.

Awesome! Thanks for the video.

Don't worry oxy, i treat this series as a movies so i grab some snacks and watch it in full lengths 🔥

super great video must have been a ton of effort thanks!

Great Vid as alwaya, Oxy! Talking about the jumbo and the other American Heavies it just feels real bad that the US heavy tanks rarely get to be played as heavy tanks. A tiger can angle his armor and block *most* contemporary shells and put down almost any opponent. IS-2 has semi reliable armor and a gun that will nuke anything in its BR. While with US stuff like the Jumbo is heavily reliant on shooting barrels/tracks out. It just doesnt feel like a heavy tank. It feels like I could do the same thing with an M4A1(75) with enough practice. Its not the power fantasy many other nations get with their heavies (or even their mediums). While things are definitely balanced with the US tree now, it isn't nearly as fun as playing other nations that require far less thought.

it sounds like you are saying the jumbo 76 is a good heavy tank because it has a happy medium between amour, firepower, and speed. Shouldn't that make it a medium tanks with a lower spawn point cost and get access to arty?

It's not a medium and it will never be. It's a heavy with lackluster ammo ... you know, like most german heavies.

Been waiting for this one and watched the entire video. Its great, like always Glad you finally have your own decal, but by looking how war thunder community behaves, you need to expect someone doing something nasty with it

Thank you so much for this video I use your videos to help me in wt and iam stuck at American mid tier (6.7) thank you so much man

I was looking foward to this episode. This is my favorite tier. Dont worry about vid length its important to be thorough although maybe the opinion on br/balance should be more brief with longer explanations in a separate vid. Do what you want I will watch either way.

And of course you put this out the very day that Gaijin announces the T26E5 and the M26 are getting bumped up to 6.7, which now gives the M26 T99 an advantage of remaining a 6.3 tank where the standard Pershing are now 6.7. Man... American 6.7 is going to have an absolute glut of a lineup. Edit: Correction, M26 only going to 6.7 in Arcade, so not an issue for Realistic. T26E5 is going up for both though.

Thank you for this series it's helped me learn this game. Looking forward to the Israeli tech tree break downs

Great vid! It’s always interesting to listen to a direct opposite opinion on the matter. Since I personally hate this American lineup, and consider Pershing the worst medium tank ever designed. It was utter pain to grind past it to MBT/XM setup. But the main thing that I can’t get at all - what was the idea behind this 90mm gun on Pershing? Cause in case of Germans each new gun gives you the opportunity to shoot enemy mostly silhouette-wise, same with Soviet 76-85-100mm gun line. But not with 75-76-90mm in American tree. Cause 90mm gun, while having more pen on paper, still can’t reliably pen enemy frontal hull. In terms of use it’s essentially the same as 76mm one, totally aiming for the same weak spots, almost the same post pen effect. Yet x1.5 reload time, on a gun that is effectively equal. How come it was a standard for so many years? HEAT rounds improved situation? But wouldn’t designing a HEAT round for 76mm be even better then?

This is a Very Good video!! I can't believe how much useful information that I received from this. I am bad at War Thunder, but I feel so much more confident at playing it now. Thank you very much and Merry Christmas!👍🌲🎁🎉

I love the super hellcat especially when this tank is so heavy dominated from all nations it works for getting around all tanks in my experience but the new additions to the m36b is wonderful too

I dont even play war thunder but your videos are so detailed and entertaining that i cant help myself but to watch it

What a nice thanksgiving surprise!

Beautiful Oxy decal is gorgeous

Just got the jumbo 76 and was really excited to play it considering the only other American tank with armor I had played was the 75 jumbo, if you play it liek a normal sherman but keep in mind you have some armor on it this thing kills

another "pro" for me in the scorpion would be the recoil, because if you going reverese trying to evade something, that recoil gave me that little boost to evade the enemy shell multiple times. just fire it randomly somewhere infront of you while going backwards. it's awsome!

lessss goooo new oxy vid

yay! new oxy video!

Great video as always. I would like to know where can I get this red-black-white camo for the american tanks? It is beautiful.

I love the m46 tiger as part of my all premium 7.0 lineup

awesome video!

I love how Oxys opinion on tanks and the game are nearly identical to mine :3

Your point about t26e5 armour is interesting. It makes you think, maybe tanks with almost good armour are better sometimes? Because enemy will try to get trough it and not aim for weakspots.

Next one comes out on Christmas. Now that would be the best gift

has had the M26E1 since it dropped and the combination of that Dex and Str is amazing
