The US came up with a lot of tank destroyer concepts in World War II, and this is one of the goofiest. This is the M3 GMC, and it is basically a halftrack with a much older version of the Sherman's gun slapped onto it. It was used a lot in Africa and was actually involved in killing a few tigers.
So, let's go ahead and try it out. Well, I definitely wouldn't want to be those guys. Takes a special kind of courage to go into tank combat with absolutely no protection whatsoever, just staring down an enemy tank.
I'm curious to see how it'll do because this actually used to be a lot worse. Like you couldn't fold down the windshield so you had less gun depression and the reload was a lot longer I think. Oh, got him.
Yeah, the 75 at low tier is a little busted. There is a Panzer 4 there. Fortunately, I don't really think I can get him unless he does that.
Yeah, it shouldn't be at all surprising that uh a 75 with 101 ms of pen and yeah, 66 g of high explosive filler would be good. Okay, and mate, I saved you. Now it's time for you to help me.
I wish I had a machine gun so I could be like, "Hey buddy, something's going on. " Oh, he he finally sees him. What do you even say about low tier, man?
Like, it feels like everybody's drunk. War Thunder isn't like some other game where even if someone's new, they can still do reasonably well. No.
If you're inexperienced, you have no clue what's going on. I think if we one-shot everything that we've hit so far, right? It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.
I think it gets more horizontal traverse now. Oh my god. I think A might be cleared out, guys.
Buddy, how do you fail that badly? Yeah, that's the uh 50 mil TD that we shot earlier. Or are you kidding me, man?
the hit boxes in this game. I think there's something else rocking up on me, too. I just can't.
There it is. Yep. Yep.
Yep. All righty. Hello.
I heard them. Buddy, do you know how to aim? like, oh, I'm not seeing a lot of guys grouped up, so I guess uh doing that will have to suffice if it even Oh, I might get two with that.
Yes. Where is this plane I'm hearing? Oh, there he is.
Let's go gunship him. Why not? Uh, never mind.
This is why I don't play low tier all that often anymore. Oh, get jked, idiot. Okay, he hit me a little bit.
No, no, no. Square up. Square up.
Is one hit. I damaged something on him. You don't want this smoke.
Is he actually running away? I think he's stalling. That's a very high angle of attack there, my friend.
I can't tell if he's slowly crashing or what's happening to this guy, honestly. He's definitely not going as fast as we are. How many times do I have to hit this guy before he dies?
One shot down. Jeez Louise. Finally.
Oh no, the airfield. I might up tier this a little bit, frankly, because I feel like playing at this VR is a little unfair most of the time. It's like if we hadn't had that stupid hitbox interaction, we wouldn't have died to that PBV.
I would have been reloaded. Oh, I thought I uh hit that pillar for a second, but no, no, no. Hello, sir.
And goodbye. And that closes us out with 10 invincible M3 halftrack US tanker 2. All right, that's an oddly specific medal.
I wonder why it doesn't fill out that rack first as the ready rack. Makes more sense than that in my opinion. Whenever you're severely losing a match and you're in a very light vehicle, it feels like you're playing Metal Gear, you know?
Oh, that turret. Oh, only his engine. And he parked right behind the corpse.
That's okay, though. He has absolutely no idea what's going on. Very surprised I didn't one-shot him, frankly.
I'm not like a forecaster or anything, but I don't think we're winning this one. Yeah, I most of my team is left already and it's like 6 minutes into the match. And we just Yep.
This was to be expected. Um, yep. Got him.
I think this plane is going to kill me on the next pass, though, even though we do have a friendly fighter up and whatnot. Oh, why did it just break all of a sudden when I was turning? Okay.
Yeah, I'm out of here. This is terrible. Firing the cannon knocks a solid 5 km per hour off of our speed.
I'm going for it. Oh, I used the recoil to reverse. I'm a genius.
I didn't have enough traverse Obama's dog bow. No way. I'm playing with a celebrity.
Shaffy, do you need some help, man? I got you, brother. I don't know how he wasn't killing him, but I'm always happy to help.
Why is this plane repeatedly strafing this chaffy when I'm right here? The one time my cast curse doesn't kick in. It is time to be sneaky.
And I just heard a a wheel vehicle behind me. By the gods, there's a psychopath. Okay, this SU is going to kill me.
Dare attack me. But I can get away. Maybe is called target prioritization.
Can he get enough traverse to hit me from there? Let's find out. No, he cannot.
Let's not get too close in case uh this amarat kills me. Oh, now the plane. I I spoke too soon.
What? Ricocheted off the top of my head. I know that I can pop down an ammo box, but can I like pop down a maternity ward?
Get some crew members back. My objective has changed from getting kills to survival. I think I can Oh, I couldn't even see him.
I just guessed. Maybe I do need to get my eyesight checked because apparently I should have been able to see him, but I didn't. Okay.
No, I I should not be repairing here. This is not a good place to repair. Oh, he taking the long sleep.
I actually have the most kills on the team right now. I think because of that one especially nasty flank that we got. I um I thought the KV85 was stronger than that.
I thought you were stronger. You can always tell when I don't expect something to happen because I turn into a pigeon andor a gnome. Mobility, gentlemen.
Mobility is the name of the game. Actually, the game is War Thunder, but you know what I mean. Another KV85.
Two of them, actually. Where are all the Panthers and Tigers at? That's what I want to know.
Hopefully the VK didn't notice. What was that noise? No, he did not.
Wait, does it eject the shell out of the breach when we fire? I don't think that was always a feature. Well, I need to fire again just to make sure.
Uh, no, it doesn't. I was hallucinating. I hope I don't get marked if I hug this building here.
Oh, does stink. I think they're all spa now. He's He's doing it.
Uh, I didn't do anything. I think my new goal is to kill at least one tiger. I don't know where that artillery is going to land, and it's scaring me.
Oh, I got his breach. Oh, you idiot. Oh, he's going to machine gun me now, isn't he?
M36, help M36, help. Oh my [Laughter] god. Oh no.
I I can't I can't stay. I got to go, buddy. We got to go.
Okay, the M36 is good. He is all good. I think I'm going to get bombed by a wyvern here.
No, the M36 is classic. Wonder who that guy is. God, the artillery, man.
Stop, please. Holy moly. A panther right next to us.
Oh, that didn't kill him. Hopefully, he's like disabled in some way. Oh.
[Music] Oh, I really didn't want to die my teammates's bombs. That was a genuine concern for a bit. All right, man.
Did he even kill one of our crew members? I don't think he did. Oh my.
Who is constantly pinging me with artillery? Like, how does it follow me everywhere? Who cursed this game andor me to make it so that whenever I want to kill a specific vehicle, one that's very abundant, that's when they never show up.
Oh, why you going this way? Brother got closlinlined into tomorrow. Oh, that is a tiger.
The tiger is the heavy tank over here. Come on. Come on.
Come on. Come on. Oh my What?
How? Who is doing this? I'm at the point where I'm genuinely starting to wonder if someone is cheating.
If he just shows his lower side, we're good. That's all we need. Yeah, guys.
Map objects don't eat rounds anymore. Gajun said. Gajun said.
So, it's true. I'm not stopping this recording until I kill a tiger. Man, it's not even hard.
We're just not seeing them. Or when we do see them, we get gajuned into oblivion. I hear a tiger.
There he is. Hey, buddy. Yes, you should absolutely turn to me, please.
Yes. [Laughter] Yeah, we did it. We struck him down.
I thought that the Q blow was off limits on IS-1 turrets, too. Waiter, waiter, more tigers, please. Wait, did he really not notice that?
Surely. Yeah, he did. He did.
Please tell me that actually damaged him. Okay, there's a smoking hole in his turret. M4 A2, protect me.
[Laughter] Thank you. Another tiger. Another tiger.
There he is. Just a little bit more. There we go.
That's the ticket. Hang on. Hang on.
Hang on. Hang on. That's I I love it, but it's so pathetic if it's not looking directly at you.
I think you can actually over pressure it with the US75 by hitting the uh machine gun shield. Like the armor is that weak. I think that T3457 left after he died.
And frankly, I would too if like if I tried to kill a dinky little M3, failed, got disabled by his teammate, and then was subsequently killed by the M3. Yeah. Yeah, that put a damper on my mood, too.
No, without a miss. No, no, there there definitely have been a few. Oh, there's the SU 100.
What is he trying to do besides explode? Well, he didn't technically explode. He just burned down.
But, you know, I was going to say I'm pretty sure I hear an engine next to me. Listen, buddy. This isn't a COD Mind Man video.
I need you to stop flying so close to me. I think this guy might be struggling. Let's just uh go ahead and do that.
I don't know what that is. Yeah, he was struggling. Yeah, that's right.
Come closer. I'm even slowing down for you. Do I need to lower my throttle even more?
Okay. If What was the point of that if you're just going to slide in behind me again? Like, oh, my gunner got knocked out.
Whoops. That's not good. Okay, now I can just speed away.
We did get him. No, no, no. You were so eager before.
Let's do round two. Come on. Let's go.
Yeah, I may be an attacker, but that doesn't specify what I attack. Did he just crash? What a idiot.
I'm going to put you down like a dog. Hold on. We can't We can't go rush in this shot.
At least we marked him for the Chiri. Get him, Chiri. You got to get him off that cap.
Got him. Yes. If we end up clutching a match with an M3.
Man, these are the moments that I play this game [Music] [Laughter] for. Very unfortunate. However, I think it's a bit too late, maybe.
Yeah. So, that was using the M3 GMC tank destroyer at a variety of battle ratings. Frankly, I think it's a bit overkill at 1.
7, but I also don't think it needs to be moved up. Like, it's extremely easy to kill. It's just one of those vehicles that punches so well above its weight that you can do some pretty stupid things with it.
Anyway, if you guys have suggestions for video topics, leave in the comments.
