These are in the news a lot right now and have been realistically in the game for years. We can study the armor and weapons in detail here. Part of a series on these modern tanks where we see using X-ray and Armor measurements what they are made of. Firing range kills of Russian tanks included, combat vids coming up.

A good time wiping out enemy tanks, another vid where I narrate a game so you see what I did and maybe learn something. I could have had 2 more kills here if I was even better!

Wanted to make a Squad vid but my mate bailed, So I made a SOLO vid instead. You can tell I wasn't ready, but you should be! Figure out fast who you want to hang with or go it alone. This is real Life! Friends can really save your ass!!! I play the good old Panzer 4 here, and end up in what place???Youll have to watch.

This is the WELDED version and should be better, but at 2.3 suddenly you see a LOT more 50mm guns and stuff that makes big holes in you. In the game you see here I was bold and left in a 2.7 rank tank so we see 3.7 tanks!! And Die Hard! So get your mods ( I was unmodded here and it shows) and pray for a downtier or at tier match! In playing it more I find its good...but not 2.3-2.7 good.

Not just a good game here but this little tank fills a much needed place in the beginner American line up. Play this to win! Just remember you need to place your shots, great practice for later when you will perish fast if you dont shoot the right place first on an enemy. That's my nearby Stuart in the pic! And me on top! We will cover that one (its better brother) in my next vid.

Sometimes the game really rewards good playing with a victory that makes you feel you mattered to the team and keeps your heart pounding the whole time! In American tanks here fighting a mix of Russians and Germans. This is a replay with a bit of chat at start n finish. A battle in the bombed tractor factory at Stalingrad.

A lesson on what some of the stuff you see on the screen while I'm playing are and how to use them. And some fun squad play.

Never quite as good as the competition these tanks are still an interesting, but not easy, play in the game. A good match for this tank shows what I mean. A last look at this chassis style before we get on to the the post war Brit tanks.

A final look at the T54 and T100 and JS3 before we move on, one day, to the next generation of tanks. These are hard to hook up with just like real life, they are easily outclassed on the battlefield. The game seems to get it right here, my research finds these were paper tigers that never saw the combat they were built for until their time was past.

Just some low level Japanese tanks here showing how maybe you should not use them to start out as a new player. Good battles to watch and learn from none the less, but these are so easy to one shot is crazy, and that is before airplanes come for you.

My first of the New Year but NOT my first official of the new year. ;) We take out the Brumbar again in a Squad with 2 friends and it goes..well it goes. Still not that game I want to capture but hey, this is War "Thunder" !!!

In my last Play War Thunder vid I played Germany. Well how about some American starter tanks for the Holiday!!! Just a primer for those of you starting out on how gameplay goes in Arcade vs Realistic. Some good gameplay even though both matches are a little lopsided.

We do our first Tank Sim match as a Squad and its a blast! High water mark here for tank combat simulation!!! Just like two tanks using a radio for coms in combat. War Thunder really gets this right!

SIM is hard, very different than what you expect and a fucking BLAST!!! Ready for real warfare?? Enough games? Want immersion not silly markers? Pump up the volume , turn off those distractions and Rock into the most realistic experience yet! Warning, some of you will not cut it!

Why has it taken me so long to get these tanks modded and ready to showcase?? Watch and see why this is a tough patch in the Russian lineup. Does it mirror real life? I think so! slow going at Battle Rating 7.3...There are much better tanks shooting at me!!

The Brumbar was made to vaporize entire structures, like its bigger brother that could take down a block of them. But How will it do against tanks??? It sure can take a hit and I sure cant range the round in two less than perfect matches. Maybe more too come on this one???

This is just a vid of a friend and I playing, No chat just what the game is in a squad, its an older vid but I wanted to post something for everyone. All Best!!!

This is a shameless plug for the Game WAR THUNDER that you see played in my vids. And how to get this FREE game and how easy it is to dive in. Instructions Included! No super powers required. Its not just Tanks! Its Planes and Ships too. And as of late the improvements and realism have been soaring. When I see updates that include Tank Specs from authors and books I have trusted for years I know they are doing it right. ENJOY!!!!!

A short coverage of the last Russian T34 Models and how they had the gun but not the tank to compete. In two perfectly timed matches you see first the weakness and then the strength of them. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and are enjoying the day with a fat belly and good company!

Before we get into the T54-T55 and later tanks too much lets look at the last wartime JS series tank. There is a 4 and we shall see it one day but this is a photo op tank that even fought in 1967. Had its many problems and unfortunately the games I get do not show any of its bright spots. We will play this one AGAIN!!!

I had said I would post this a week ago, Skip the chat on the tank if you want to see how it works with just the HE shells. Some interesting game play and just a cool tank as I said in the first vid!!! More Russian big tanks on the way.

After some really poor Brit tanks, just like in real life, at 4.7 you finally get some tanks you can have FUN with. A vid not so much about the tanks but playing for fun and how they are good enough to have some real fun with! Churchill really takes a beating!! Those damn German KV 1s are even tougher..

A few new Japanese tanks to check out as I start a new country and see what we have to offer. Its not easy to play these but you can have fun and rack up lions. The grey little one here is Aquatic! LOL I should have taken it swimming! Fun at 1.7! Its good to play some new tanks.

Finally making it to the "good" tanks in the British line. This can handle a Tiger or T34 if played well. Well worth a try and other than a soft turret face it can take a hit here and there. A glass cannon with a bit of armor..the 17 pounder can hook up but that Tiger can one shot you real easy!

BT42 is here! Many new tanks this month, And here is a fun one shot one kill machine for you to try out. Highly recommended before they nerf it. Get that good ammo!!! And a few words on the Ukraine mess at the end of the vid, so you can skip if you want, Just wanted to clarify my views and educate on a few details you may not be aware of. Not a trend, This channel will remain Tanks and War Thunder. I'm starting a new channel soon where I will talk more politics along with Cars and Machines other than tanks. I couldn't remember the date Zelensky came in and replaced the last stooge so sorry if dates seem confused for a moment around 2014.
