War Thunder - Patch 1.49/1.70.1945 released!
With the release of Patch 1.49 (or Patch 1.70.1945 as its officially called) I take a quick look at some of the major changes introduced by the patch, such as the new damage and crash landing models new British FAA aircraft, US tank destroyers and I do a quick test drive of the Sherman Calliope to test out its rocket armament.

Transcript
00:00Hello everybody, Toreno here and welcome to
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined3
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedat the major changes for patch 1.49. I’m going to
00:25call it patch 1.49 because the rest of it’s just
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined7
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedWell, for Britain, we’ve got the Fleet Air Arm
00:47lineup. So, Britain gets an extra jet,
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined11
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedguns unless you’re going down the Tempest line.
01:10But the Fleet Air Arm aircraft do seem to be
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined15
two cannons and a bunch of machine guns:undefined
undefined:undefinedis going to make things quite a lot better for
01:34Britain, I think, because they tend to use a lot
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined19
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedactually get that much. They got a J2M2,
01:54which is a new fighter, which I did think
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined23
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedit. They’ve also got a new bomber, the Ki-21.
02:17Now, this is a more sensible start for the
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined27
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto massive bomb loads for their first bomber.
02:43Now, Russia got a bunch of ground force
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined31
the X-9T and the Yak-9K:undefined
undefined:undefinedpremium aircraft, but they don’t seem to be
03:03showing up yet. If we go to Britain quickly,
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined35
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedit wasn’t on there when I looked a minute ago.
03:25Germany also got a bunch of—well, they got—I don’t
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined39
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthey got cockpits for the HS 129 B.
03:46If we go to America, aircraft—again, they got some
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined43
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedtook you to the British hangar; it would change
04:16all the background. But that’s it; they seem
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined47
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedBrowning machine guns that you get later on.
04:39Also, got the AD-2 Skyraider. Now this is
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined51
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedresearch penalty, and it would take away loads of
05:01RP. So, this will allow you to research all those
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined55
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedyou know, just tons of bombs all over the place.
05:23And again, it doesn’t seem like the premium
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined59
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedYou know, I’m looking forward to unlocking
05:50all these. You can see I’m going back and
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined63
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthey sort of dropped off after a few days. I mean,
06:09but you know, I’ll have to see how that works out.
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined67
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineda 4.3. Now, I test drove this, and it’s okay.
06:32I’ll show you what I mean. I’m just sort of
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined71
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhave some glitches from bouncing everything. Like,
06:53I haven’t actually tested it in game—in an actual
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined75
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedso, right, we’ve arranged that. Shot from
07:18the rocket launcher—oh, it’s not firing. Right,
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined79
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthey’re not too accurate. I mean,
07:46I’m actually hardly looking at the target now. I
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined83
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedrockets you’ve got left by looking at the tubes.
08:12I’m sorry, it’s gone lucky again, but it’s not
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined87
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwe know it can deal with that. When I
08:31test drove it earlier, I blew up a Panther
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined91
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedsounds properly. Get a bit nearer.
08:52So yeah, it doesn’t work against the Maus,
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined95
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedSee if I can get a shot in there from the rear.
09:14Can we—
09:17Also, we took out the horizontal tummy drive,
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined100
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedmean, I know I took all that stuff out,
09:50but I don't know where I actually hit,
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined105
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedlook for others, I saw it was a burning wreck.
10:19I just don't like the new damage report
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined109
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedrocket, but we'll try against the Tiger II.
10:43So get a bit nearer. I actually managed
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined113
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthrough the commander, blew up ammo, and wrecked
11:02the Tiger from a good 200 meters away or so.
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined117
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedtry and blow his tracks off a little bit or
11:38side skirts. Helps, but
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined121
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe ranges we were having to get to do anything.
12:06It would be very useful in urban warfare—those
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined125
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedagainst higher-tier vehicles, so I don't
12:32mind it too much compared to when
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined129
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedlink you to my dev server episode where I tested
12:53it. It wasn't that good, in my opinion. It's
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined133
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedcharacteristics we've been given. Basically,
13:17it now depends on angle and range rather
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined137
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedan easier time getting through the thickest
13:44non-sloped armour, but against sloped armour,
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined141
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedI could tell, is an up-armoured T-34 1942.
14:07I'll see if there's an information thing about it,
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined145
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedso that's not going to make too much difference,
14:32and there are a few other places where you can
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined149
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedit doesn't seem to have that many improvements.
14:54It has the same guns as the one before it, so
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined153
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthough, which is HEAT (high-explosive anti-tank),
15:24which can do between 350 and 174 at all ranges.
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined157
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthey would have done this. Although, even on
15:59the sloped edges, it would still be very difficult
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined161
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe battle rating, but as far as I'm aware,
16:21they're still about rating eight. So if we
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined165
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedeasy to penetrate with the HEAT rounds. The
16:50armour-piercing discarded SABO is
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined169
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedtanks. They got the SU-122-54.
17:14You can see there it's got the CBK10 with even
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined173
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedrating eight, but they really need to move these
17:38up to a higher battle rating because they're
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined177
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhold its own, unlike the SU-152 or ISU-152, which
18:01doesn't have that much good armour—something like
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined182
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedT-34-85A, an IS-2, and an SU-76, and an
18:30SU-57—basically a half-track with
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined186
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedHurricane because I haven't test-flown that yet.
18:50But we're going to quickly test the new
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined190
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedit just means taking off from an aircraft carrier.
19:14So if we press the right button, we can
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined194
undefined:undefined
:undefinedyou can see guns, your windscreen,
19:30your engine, your pilot as you bleed, you can
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined198
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedlook inside to see how it came. Cockpit as well.
19:53So we're gonna—sorry about the water effects. I
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined202
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedif we go too fast, it will just kill us,
20:12and we don't want that because we can't actually
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined206
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedplane have changed. The engine is now red, and
20:35the end of the wing has gone yellow and blackish.
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined210
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto have things like this. So we're going back
20:56to the hangar, not restart, back to the hangar. So
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined214
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinednotes, but one of the big major changes is three
21:20new maps: Berlin, Herzogen Forest, and Normandy.
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined218
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhave been added for certain aircraft, the F-8F
21:45and the F-82E. If I'm remembering correctly—yep,
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined222
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedturret rotation has been increased.
22:10Before this patch, they both did something
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined226
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedmiles an hour, 24. The patch has also introduced
22:32a bunch of new decals. For example, you can see
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined230
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthey're all about 200 Golden Eagles because
23:01these are the ones created by users, and they get
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined234
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineddon't think my aircraft was damaged, was it?
23:28Battle of the Bulge camouflage. So yeah, it was
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined239
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbuy that. That actually looks really cool.
23:57And you can see all these burn
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined243
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedall the significant changes, and I believe we've
24:14gone through all the significant changes. Of
undefined:undefined00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:13,360
undefined:undefined247
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedBut I hope you enjoyed the episode. Leave a like
