Full disclosure, I ground out most of the Chinese mediums in World of Tanks because the T-34-1 looks cool as fuck. It's like someone took a T-34 hull, squished it some, and slapped a T-54 turret on it. Nevermind the paper-thin hull, to hell with the gun handling, it looks cool.

Honestly, I like the T-44 more than the IS-2 and T-44-100. BR is too compressed for T-44-100 to be reliably fun, and IS-2 has a big ass forehead on the hull plus long reload time. T-44 is just a fun tank to run around in, on top of having a reliable frontal armour to bounce conventional rounds.

the ASU-85 can some times eat a shot. i played only one match so far with it and got shot by a Jumbo with the 76.2mm gun and it didn't pen. AT 200 METERS.

Where to shoot tips with pt76b: Shoot tiger 2 in back off the turret, there’s a ammo rack. Most of German tanks have small ammo rack in the front left of the hull, right above the tracks. Centurions on the left side, next to the driver. Many people don’t shoot here for some reason so I thought I’d share.

The weakspot you mentioned for the Tiger II is kinda irrelevant bcz who would want to expose their sides anyway To ammorack it head on: (P): Shoot at the flat part of the cheeks. 96% ammorack chance (H): Shoot on the cheeks just a little above the turret ring. The ammorack chance is significantly lower since the mantlet is insanely thicc. And since the ammo is seperated from each other irl it should help if a single ammo detonated. However that is not how ammo detonation works in WT. In WT, 1 ammo detonate=flying turret As a bonus: Shoot the Tiger H1 and E at the upper frontal left corner of the hull (right if you are head on). Approx.60% chance of ammoracking. Tbh the H1 and E has tons of spots to be one shot by something like a Pak 43,KwK 36 or any gun with similar caliber/pen. Some of them are: -Driver view slit -Hull MG Port -Turret ring (rare) -Mantlet in some random spots (lucky)

@Jelkiin

The Air Raider it isn’t really irrelevant. Have you ever heard of the good ol’ flankeru? But to be serious, in you play the maps well there’s a high chance you catch a tiger off guard. If you catch the turret pointed left or right at a 45 degree angle you can still shoot the ammo rack.

@mobiuscoreindustries

also wheraboos tend to carry an insane ammount of ammo due to thinking their tank armor is invulnerable. Unfortunately with the PT i had a LOT of times where a heat would go straight throuhg the ammo rack and somehow not cause the enemy to explode.

46:36 Just to add something to the IS-2 Revenge : If you bush it up , many people mistake it to be an ordinary 5.7 IS-2, because of the missing roof mounted 12.7mm, so it can be very trolly.

Hey! I was thinking, since most of the "different" chinese vehicles are rank 5 and up and that there aren't many to cover (yet), I suppose you could consider putting them in a "honourable mentions" sort of scheme. The Type 59 for instance is just your regular T-54 1951 but with a vertical stabiliser. The issue is, of course, that you'd stray away from the main topic, which is to talk about Russian tanks...

hi sorry for the late response, but there is no really issue with maining both of those nations as they tend to have great tanks, and honestly it's more enjoyable to play multiple nations than forcing yourself to grind through one of them

One of the best guides I've seen.

Oxy's T-34s in this video - *Poland intensifies*

The best advantage of T34-100 is low repair cost, good boost for SL and RP and decent reload time compared to all the tier 4 lineup. It's also 6.3 now

Sounds like your pc needs to be reimaged and cleaned. Great videos though, keep up the good work!

The thing is about the ASU-85 is that it was made in a age where autocannons exist on stuff like IFVs so that explains the around 100mm of armour and the IFV is the strongest thing it will face otherwise it is just reserves and APCs that is because it is meant for paratroopers this thing does its job irl very well and could defend from a tank attack but that is mostly kept to the infantry this was made as heavy equipment for paratroopers and was quite common in that role as paratroopers always had ASU-85s

Brilliant video, cheers!

Another great video. please keep this up.

The T-44-100 is honestly my favourite tank in the game with over 400 kills and only around 100 deaths. Just play it carefully and you can be a monster even at full uptier.

love the tesco bag in the back

You also should mention that the SU-100P has excellent gun leveling. It really does feel like this thing has a stabilizer at times with how fast that gun levels off.

OMG! Those Sovjet Hits! Pens heavy angled surface like butter. Ive never pen a Panthers front turret with my T34. And is there a trick out there to match against those brainless enemies the T44-100 had? Btw: great Videos! Love them all! Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

I found the IS-2 Revenge to actually be a very decent premium if you bush up the UFP. Most people differentiate between the standard IS-2 and mod.44 by the Roof mounted DSHK, since the Revenge lacks it you will find a lot of people will shoot centre of mass thinking you're the standard IS-2 with no real armour, only for their shell to be eaten by the UFP.

Tip on especially Jungle and Alaska with the pt, always try to do something with the water. For example, try to get to an island or rock to scout and shoot from. It’s very fun, and also rewarding because the enemies don’t expect you there at all. I’ve had great fun and success with this.

Blue screens while USB is plugged in? I recommend reinstalling your chipset and motherboard drivers, if that doesn't help, motherboard is borked and needs replacing. Motherboards alone aren't that expensive, just make sure the socket fits your current CPU.

*Long have I waited*

I hope you cover the Object 279 and IS-7 Event vehicles in your future Russian Ground Forces videos.

The IS-6 is absolutely amazing. You gotta be sneaky with it.

I love a IS2 it is one of my favorite WW2 tanks in the game keep it up Oxy Eventually next the French Tech Tree ?

Quick Note for the T34-85. Due to hits Higher BR and chance of facing later production Kingtigers etc, the APCR round is a viable pick for secondary ammunitions.OF course, a flanking playstyle is always to be preferred, but in emergency situations, the apcr an be usedto disable a heavy enemy from the front and buy time to either rush or flank around.

So bit of an update for anyone new hoping in here, the T-44 was moved up to a BR of 6.7 in tank RB so lineups might get up tiered harder if you run it with the the recommended lineup. That lineup will still work wonders though

Of the vehicles in this video, I presently have the T-34-85, standard T-44, standard IS-2, PT-76B, ZSU-37, and am presently researching the IS-2 mod. 1944. I have also rented the T-34-100 and found it enjoyable at the time.

Amazing quality

thanks oxy! very cool!

I will add this here since I haven't seen a comment about it. The PT 76 recently had a buff and reload speed is now 6.5 seconds on basic, so it's somewhat better now.

Two of my top most favorite tanks for RUssia is the T44 and the PT76, oh and I recently just unlocked the ASU 85 and it aint half bad. I love using the PT 76 to kill M18s though, its extremely satisfying!

Thanks for all the hard work Oxy! You have helped me get back into warthunder and kickass with the Russians.

Thank you oxy for this video. :)

KV-122 was now down to the 5.3 so its viable for a backup to the IS-1

in my t-44/100 experience, the hull wobble killed me a lot-- thoughts on that?

I have a major problem with the T34 100, it never existed nor could exist, yet Gaijin kept it in the game while getting rid of the Coelian, Tiger II 105, and Panther II due to the same reasons of not existing. They also never removed the Ho Ri Production and the prototype was very similar to the Coelian where it was mainly a mockup.

Can you do a vid on your graphic settings?

for the t-44, i think you forgot to mention the more bouncy suspension it has, which can screw up snapshots

No rush Oxy Quality is always better than quantity

The ASU-85 works very well in Tank Assault because the mobility is not very important there while the poor armour can be negated with good positioning.
