In this episode I test drive some of the new tanks, such as the SMK, M3 Stuart and M2A4.

Also I perform a cool drift kill against Panzer 4 dummy target and use my 37mm gun for penetrating a Panthers turret!

Transcript
00:00Welcome back, I just had to sort out some of the controls, oh yes, oh my god machine guns work, I've just been, I've just changed the controls for it, you know like I always do, oh my god, I didn't think they would actually, I just knocked down a tree, oh, my god, oh god, Soviet thrusher, machine
00:29gun to chop down trees anytime, yep that's my bad Russian accent, I do have a better one,
00:38paying attention to them at the moment, right, select secondary gun, which one's that, is that
00:45the, I don't know, this is the, yeah that's the secondary gun, where's the actual target,
00:51right, oh, sorry, I was trying to test out my controls,
01:11now as you can see changing between the turrets changes your view,
01:22now, quickly find if there's a way to select all weapons, uh, sorry for this, um, and control,
01:35revert weapon selection, assign, p,
01:42oh, apparently p is also the pause button, well this makes no sense,
01:45wait, wait, why do I even get a pause button, that doesn't make any sense, um,
01:49I didn't even know one existed, right, where's the next target,
01:57got to fire a broadside, I know different trajectories so I'm gonna miss, but,
02:08well at least one I missed,
02:12oh, I forgot you can fire them differently,
02:14oh my god, I've just realized, I'll, I'll finally be able to turn the T-35 into an effective tank,
02:29oh, hang on, um, the tank's driving on its own, I'm, I'm not pressing any button,
02:41um, it is driving on its own, no, sorry about that, the, like I said,
02:52the pause button is also the button to revert weapons, I didn't know the pause button actually
02:56existed, it didn't say anything when I made the button,
03:01wow, we actually managed to hit, what, we didn't penetrate and we just blew it to smithereens,
03:08I'm gonna quickly try out the tow cable on one of these tanks,
03:12they're enemies so maybe it won't work, but let's do it,
03:17how the hell did we make that tank blow up on us,
03:22kind of gobsmacked at that, we didn't even penetrate, how the hell was it,
03:28oh, we've got two little recitals for,
03:32for the reloading now as well,
03:37this is probably the most fun I've had on tanks ever,
03:40use the bloody test map on the test server,
03:47mainly because I've finally got a tank that actually seems to work,
03:51I'm gonna have to buy this probably at some point,
03:57I know I'm gonna regret it, I'll regret buying the T-35 because I'll never get the damn thing
04:00to work, but it seems so fun, I mean it's like a T-35 in weapons but it actually works,
04:09like, you know, it can turn and it drives at a decent speed, I have to wonder how this thing
04:15wasn't good in real life, I mean, with the armour and guns and the speed, it must have
04:21been mechanically unreliable or something, or maybe it was just simply the KV-2 as a superior tank,
04:28so I think this, the KV-2 and the T-35 are all enough tanks, all serving together in
04:36the winter war and I think this one, the other tank whose name I forget and the,
04:43well, you know, they didn't do very well, the KV-1 did well and was selected for,
04:49you know, production and promptly, you know, beat the hell out of the Germans,
04:58okay, I've just found something bad about it, the gun isn't actually that good at penetrating,
05:05like, it's useless at penetrating,
05:10I mean, we literally point blank on a Panther and it's just missing,
05:18there's a sweet spot, that was just the tracks,
05:23okay, I'll need to blow this tank up, I'm probably going to split it into two videos anyway, so,
05:30well, at least edit bits out,
05:35sorry, I'm mobile, so,
05:39there's that, you know, I think I'll leave that tank there,
05:45right, now for the M2A3,
05:53oh, got my machine gun working, oh god,
06:05what map are we on, are we on Kursk again, I think we are, oh god, the turret traverse,
06:14wow, and this isn't even upgraded, I don't think,
06:18okay, yep, .50 calibers can decapitate trees with the power of freedom,
06:26how did it do against the tank,
06:31because I have heard one of the reasons the Americans used the .50 calibers instead of
06:35Browning, instead of anti-tank rifles, was because they were
06:39generally good at penetrating some early war tanks,
06:41that doesn't seem to be working in here,
06:52well, we've got damage reports coming up, so it must be doing something,
07:06yep, no, that wasn't working,
07:12okay, I'm not sure how to activate this turret mode,
07:21yeah, I don't think it works on enemy tanks,
07:29right, let's see how fast we can get this thing, wow, this is quite stable,
07:34oh, okay, I missed a shot there, but that was my own fault, it was stable up until that point,
07:42compared to most tanks anyway,
07:50I can't believe they actually got the machine guns working, I didn't expect
07:53them to bring it in this patch, I mean, they're going to be quite pointless most of the time, but
07:58they ain't actually, you can see it creates quite a few sparks sometimes,
08:06I'm wondering if we're going to get people just using them to like,
08:10you know, firing at the enemy, just, because some of the lower end computers that might,
08:15you know, drop the frame rate a little bit, I wonder if we're going to get people taking
08:19fast firing machine guns, spraying at the enemy tanks and like, you know,
08:26so you're hurting them with the main gun physically and like,
08:29stopping them from firing back, because their computer's been slowed down, oh, maybe I'm just,
08:36oh, I doubt that could actually happen, I mean, it's only a few sparks,
08:41I do like this tank, I mean, I'm definitely going to have to go down the American line,
08:47which is annoying, because I've just started to get into tier 4 slash tier 5 of the Americans,
08:53but I'm just getting towards unlocking tier 5 of the aircraft, and now I'm going to have to
08:59do bloody aircraft, um, tanks as well, oh, who are we aiming at,
09:15okay, that wasn't a sweet spot, I have to take out the M2A1 quickly,
09:22I'm only doing like one or two tanks for each nation,
09:27right, well, for the Americans I'll do the M2A1, and I'll do the M4A1 Sherman that the Russians
09:34have, because we've only got the two tanks at the moment, and I'm going to end up splitting
09:41this video into like two or three bits anyway, I'll probably do the tanks as one video,
09:46and then, you know, go from there, it's just a bit harder to edit all together,
09:53I might have to do one of the other episodes if I've split it up,
09:57because of the new microphone, it works if I try to record and listen on Movie Maker,
10:03but since I've tried doing it in War Thunder, it'll just only listen, it won't record,
10:09I don't know what that's all about, but unfortunately there's not much I can do about
10:15it, right, this is the American tier, well, reserved tier, not as stable, but still fairly
10:27stable, okay, now it's good, and to be fair, it was a point blank range, not like we could miss
10:34him, where did we shoot through him, pretty damn cool if we did, getting 34 miles an hour,
10:53oh my god, if I've managed that in an actual game, come at them from the left, do a
11:00drift, and then just blow their turret off, that would be so cool,
11:12I don't think this gun's going to do particularly well, I think it's the same one as the MP
11:16Stuart, I've got to check actually, did I just seriously shoot through a Panther's armour in a
11:24reserved tier, and wound the loader and the gunner, or commander, that was from the side,
11:33not even the rear, so now I go back here and it's not working, but obviously I did something,
11:54oh, don't know why that happened then, now the machine gun on here doesn't work,
12:08I have no idea why, I mean you can see it, but it doesn't do anything,
12:17right, so that's the M2A1.
