| 4s | the shooting range |
|---|---|
| 8s | in this episode pages of History the era |
| 12s | of composite armor tactics and strategy |
| 15s | drones big and small and metal beasts |
| 20s | the updated Swede |
| 23s | [Music] |
| 31s | to call today's Metal Beast a new |
| 34s | vehicle would not be entirely correct |
| 36s | the light Swedish tank called the |
| 38s | cv90-105 has been available for a while |
| 41s | now but the Drone age update has |
| 44s | introduced some significant changes and |
| 46s | given it a new battle reading let's take |
| 48s | a look at its refreshed capabilities its |
| 51s | main weapon is a two plane stabilized |
| 53s | 105 millimeter gun with elevation angles |
| 56s | between -10 and plus 42 degrees |
| 59s | auxiliary calibers include a coaxial |
| 62s | machine gun and 14 smoke launchers its |
| 65s | engine compartment is placed in the |
| 67s | front next to the driver's seat while |
| 69s | the commander and the Gunner sit in the |
| 70s | turret the ammo racks are placed in the |
| 73s | Tank's rear the first thing you might |
| 75s | notice here is the new large turret its |
| 78s | armor is still modest but the turret |
| 80s | rear now houses an autoloader with a |
| 82s | capacity of 10 Rounds it reduces the |
| 85s | reload time to a mere 5 Seconds a major |
| 88s | feature for a light tank still you have |
| 90s | to keep in mind that this luxurious |
| 92s | speed is only available for the first |
| 94s | level stowage naturally you'll want to |
| 96s | hide somewhere far away from the enemy |
| 98s | to reload and this Swedish vehicle |
| 100s | handles the task with ease its new 670 |
| 104s | horsepower engine is more than enough to |
| 106s | compensate for the increased mass of 25 |
| 108s | tons the tank can swiftly accelerate |
| 111s | even on soft surfaces and on asphalt it |
| 114s | can speed up to 70 kilometers per hour |
| 116s | the reverse is also good 40 kilometers |
| 119s | per hour is ample for any situation |
| 125s | another important change is a new round |
| 127s | available to this tank the dm33 APF SDS |
| 131s | is great at handling armored targets |
| 133s | ensuring a confident battle with |
| 135s | multiple enemies at the same time |
| 139s | this machine is also well equipped with |
| 141s | auxiliary devices smokes will help you |
| 144s | hide from your enemy when needed thermal |
| 146s | sights available to both the Gunner and |
| 148s | the commander will guide you towards |
| 149s | your targets be it day or night and a |
| 151s | fire control system will calculate the |
| 153s | best lead in a second and there's more |
| 156s | this tank is now equipped with a Recon |
| 159s | drone but we'll get to that part in a |
| 161s | few minutes |
| 162s | foreign |
| 164s | specs and modern devices require a |
| 167s | sacrifice and for this tank it's |
| 169s | survivability its large internal space |
| 172s | somewhat makes up for poor defenses but |
| 174s | with a small crew and aluminum turret |
| 176s | armor you'd be better off playing with |
| 178s | caution and finally remember about |
| 180s | active scouting it's free real estate |
| 184s | [Music] |
| 197s | the history of tank design is mostly the |
| 200s | history of a race a race between armor |
| 202s | and rounds it had been pretty linear for |
| 205s | the first few decades gun calibers grew |
| 207s | in size round velocities and masses were |
| 210s | increasing in response tanks stepped |
| 213s | their Mass up and their armor was |
| 214s | getting thicker and thicker to improve |
| 216s | the defenses and keep the mass within |
| 218s | reasonable limits designers tried to |
| 221s | reduce internal volume creating cast |
| 223s | hulls with sophisticated shapes but |
| 225s | pretty soon by the 1950s that path had |
| 229s | reached a dead end no reducible space |
| 231s | was left meanwhile artillery was still |
| 234s | improving its accuracy the newest |
| 236s | subcaliber and high explosive rounds |
| 238s | could penetrate any armor there is a |
| 241s | reason the leopard 1 and the AMX 30 felt |
| 243s | like they were made of paper the |
| 245s | designers dismissed their attempts to |
| 246s | protect them against incoming rounds |
| 248s | betting on Mobility instead so what was |
| 251s | it a complete defeat for the armor yes |
| 254s | the rounds won over regular armor hands |
| 257s | down but surely there is something more |
| 260s | to crew protection than steel the first |
| 263s | sub-cala and high explosive rounds were |
| 265s | used by the Germans and it was the |
| 267s | Germans again who made the first step |
| 268s | towards a new type of armor in their |
| 270s | attempts to improve the defenses of the |
| 272s | Panzer III the engineers installed a 20 |
| 275s | millimeter thick front screen despite |
| 277s | the fact that Soviet 76 millimeter |
| 280s | rounds could penetrate up to 70 |
| 281s | millimeters of armor they failed against |
| 284s | two sheets 50 and 20 millimeters thick |
| 287s | respectively later such screens were |
| 289s | installed on the sides as well |
| 291s | they were originally meant as protection |
| 293s | against anti-tank rifles but it was soon |
| 295s | discovered that those screens were good |
| 297s | against high explosive rounds as well |
| 299s | the screen would trigger the fuse and |
| 301s | the shaped charge would lose its energy |
| 303s | in the time it took to reach the main |
| 304s | armor failing to penetrate it only the |
| 307s | strongest charges and grenades remained |
| 309s | an issue since they required a huge gap |
| 311s | between layers that would interfere with |
| 313s | normal tank usage the Soviet Engineers |
| 316s | made the next step in armor development |
| 318s | now what is spaced armor basically it's |
| 322s | a layered cake made of steel air and |
| 324s | steel again you might think that the gap |
| 326s | between steel sheets could be filled |
| 328s | with something much more useful than air |
| 330s | and you'd be right the t-64 was the |
| 333s | first tank to use composite armor made |
| 335s | of steel and glass fiber plastic the |
| 338s | latter has a much lower density so |
| 340s | shaped charged jets go through the |
| 342s | layers in a different manner the turret |
| 344s | armor can also be made of alternating |
| 346s | layers like for instance on the Abrams |
| 348s | and leopard 2 tanks however the Soviet |
| 351s | Engineers chose lose a different path |
| 352s | the early t-64 tanks used aluminum for |
| 356s | the filler it was poured into a steel |
| 358s | mold this solution soon proved inferior |
| 360s | so the mass production version had |
| 362s | ceramic balls instead in its turret |
| 365s | armor composite armor became a true |
| 367s | breakthrough in tank design and launched |
| 369s | a new stage of the attack versus defense |
| 372s | race it also pushed Engineers into going |
| 374s | for larger calibers and rounds with |
| 376s | extreme aspect ratios and that's the |
| 379s | reason why even modern tanks need more |
| 381s | than just passive armor to defend |
| 383s | against contemporary rounds it's time |
| 385s | for active Protection Systems Advanced |
| 388s | camouflage and threat detection |
| 390s | equipment but that's a story for another |
| 392s | time |
| 393s | [Music] |
| 400s | foreign |
| 407s | it's time to talk about the new vehicle |
| 409s | class heralded by the Drone age update |
| 411s | why don't we check out what kinds of |
| 413s | drones are available and how you can use |
| 415s | them in combat let's take them for a |
| 417s | ride |
| 422s | we'd like to start with smaller |
| 423s | reconnaissance drones now available to |
| 425s | all light tanks of ranks 6 and 7 as a |
| 428s | researchable upgrade they're extremely |
| 430s | simple to use the default key |
| 432s | combination is all to you it's just as |
| 434s | easy to get back to the ground press U |
| 437s | to continue fighting on your tank the |
| 439s | Drone would automatically level itself |
| 441s | and fly straight you can switch between |
| 443s | the Drone and the tank as often as you |
| 445s | want the Drone is capable of flying for |
| 447s | much longer than any battle usually |
| 449s | lasts even the longest ones now why |
| 452s | might you need these tiny aircraft in |
| 454s | the first place while they don't have |
| 456s | any fatal Weaponry the value drones |
| 458s | bring along is unquestionable the main |
| 461s | feature is combat reconnaissance we're |
| 463s | sure you don't need to be told what |
| 464s | advantage it is to know for certain what |
| 466s | expects you beyond that hill now imagine |
| 469s | this a squad mate flies a Recon drone |
| 472s | and shares everything about the enemy |
| 474s | movements with their squad at the |
| 475s | beginning of the battle or even puts a |
| 477s | mark on the extra dangerous targets |
| 479s | isn't that exciting we're sure it is you |
| 482s | can share Intel with other teammates as |
| 484s | well but you'll need to use the chat for |
| 486s | it still try to avoid attracting |
| 488s | unwanted attention by circling above |
| 490s | enemy tanks uavs are aircraft and much |
| 493s | like any other aircraft they can be |
| 495s | knocked down which means you'll have to |
| 496s | go back to a base to reload your drone |
| 502s | now let's see what the bigger strike |
| 504s | drones are like while smaller ones |
| 506s | resemble toy models these are rigorous |
| 509s | combat units at the moment strike drones |
| 511s | include three models in the game the |
| 514s | Soviet Orion the Chinese Wing long one |
| 516s | and the mq-1 for other nations these |
| 520s | machines are armed with air-to-surface |
| 521s | missiles equipped with targeting systems |
| 523s | good zoom and thermal vision devices |
| 526s | you can only employ strike drones in |
| 528s | realistic battles starting at a br of |
| 531s | 9.7 to take off you'll need to earn |
| 534s | enough spawn points first you don't need |
| 536s | to install anything into the crew slot |
| 538s | the Drone will appear in your vehicle |
| 539s | set automatically like the familiar nuke |
| 542s | carrying aircraft once you get enough |
| 544s | points you can take off |
| 546s | strike drones spawn at an altitude |
| 548s | exceeding four kilometers almost above |
| 551s | the ground forces map allowing you to |
| 553s | jump into action in a very short time |
| 555s | the main priority for uavs is |
| 557s | anti-aircraft defenses reason number one |
| 560s | they're easy to hit which is crucial |
| 562s | with so few missiles available reason |
| 564s | number two your team's Pilots would be |
| 566s | happy thanks to high definition thermals |
| 568s | and excellent Optics spotting targets |
| 570s | won't become an issue once you're out of |
| 572s | ammo you've got three options option one |
| 575s | reconnaissance and targeting for your |
| 577s | team with the onboard targeting system |
| 579s | you can perform these duties outside of |
| 581s | anti-air range option two return to the |
| 584s | Airfield for a Reload keep in mind that |
| 587s | uavs can rarely accelerate past 400 |
| 589s | kilometers per hour even in a dive you |
| 592s | can get back to the base pretty quickly |
| 594s | but getting up to a high altitude again |
| 596s | would take way more time than you'd want |
| 598s | that's why there's option three get out |
| 600s | of the Drone and switch to another |
| 602s | vehicle like a plane or a helicopter |
| 604s | after all didn't we just suppress enemy |
| 607s | air defenses |
| 611s | well here's the kind of vehicles the |
| 613s | first war Thunder drones are share your |
| 615s | thoughts and experiences with the new |
| 617s | class in the comments while we answer |
| 618s | some of your questions |
| 623s | foreign |
| 628s | [Music] |
| 634s | was sent by a player called Josh |
| 637s | mccallop do all the tours have heat |
| 639s | Seekers or just the Israeli versions |
| 643s | hi Josh infrared homing missiles were |
| 645s | only used on the Israeli vote tours |
| 648s | Bob Bob writes what are the fastest |
| 651s | World War II single-engine prop planes |
| 652s | in the game |
| 654s | hey Bob right now the fastest piston |
| 657s | engine fighter near the ground is the |
| 658s | American p-51h it can accelerate to |
| 661s | almost 680 kilometers per hour |
| 664s | question comes from Captain Garland what |
| 667s | are the best IR air-to-air missiles |
| 669s | currently available in the game |
| 672s | hi Captain garlic at the moment the best |
| 674s | IR guided missiles are the all aspect |
| 676s | aim 9l the r60m the r60 MK the r24t the |
| 683s | ty90 and the r550 magic 2. |
| 687s | Flying Scotsman asks how to play the top |
| 690s | piston-engined planes against Jets |
| 693s | Ahoy mate how would you feel about an |
| 696s | entire section dedicated to playing |
| 697s | piston-engined Fighters we could tell |
| 700s | you everything about fighting against |
| 701s | early Jets |
| 703s | and the last comment for today was |
| 704s | written by burgernator will it be |
| 707s | possible to jettison rocket pods when |
| 708s | they're spent so we can have better |
| 710s | flight performance |
| 711s | hi burgernator you've recently received |
| 714s | an option to drop all suspended Armament |
| 717s | to do this you'll need to assign a key |
| 720s | for the Emergency drop choose the weapon |
| 722s | type via the selector menu and press |
| 724s | that key that's it for today you've been |
| 727s | watching the shooting range by Gaijin |
| 729s | entertainment and the next episode will |
| 731s | Premiere the following Sunday at 4 pm |
