Today we discuss the vehicles of one of the first nations of War Thunder. Coming straight from Germany!
The German tech tree contains a lot of interesting vehicles: from lightly-armoured self-propelled guns to the heaviest tank clad in the thickest of armour… and all the way to the most modern MBTs.

People are gonna be real confused when 4 of these vehicles aren’t in the game.
@Vadaszsch03 you know whats funny the Maus had 2 Prototypes and was removed. The American T34 (superheavy) had 3 Prototypes was never put into normal production and is still in the game
lol thats funny cuz i am rn
Ya at least i started playing germany after these were removed and before i found this video so i knew these were not in the game.
@Thomas Macdonough to powerfull for ww2 ,to weak for coldwar, oh man
Maus in the thumbnail King Tiger 105 mentioned in the video. This sure aged well.
@Phúc Nguyễn plus the gun of e75 is diff
@Phúc Nguyễn the slope on the front is diff
i think it's an e75
@Duo haha good reference
@Felix Castanon it’s a picture of the Concorde Flight 4590, where said Concorde blew a tire and set on fire, and then crashed into a hotel nearby killing all onboard.
As you can see in the thumbnail, the Maus is the iconic tank of German high rank
@Panzerkampfwagen VIII “Maus” *finally, I have you at last*
@Tommy Jansen it was equipped, but everything went to sht when germans had to burn the Maus
@Egg guess what, its back
That's not even in the game no more what a shame yo 😕
@Keolath oh no man I know how painfull it is but I want it for the memes and because it was my dream back when I was younger😀
"Welcome to the Third Rank" i see what you did there
@potato REICH
Time stamp?
Das reich ist das ____
There are no accidents - Master oogway
@potato The joke just r/whooooosed over your head
Reasons to play german tanks: 1) Get the most armored, exciting, crazy tank ever nearly existed: THE MAUS Ohhh....Gaijin removed it....nevermind....play the Americans
Russia rocks. I'm at Tier III and it's really good. T-34-85 D-5T with decent ish armour and a good gun. Funny ASU-57 (I)SU-152 that in the right places can frontally pen a tiger. Great IS-1 with Angled armour, the good D-5T gun and alright mobility.
Just play as the dam 2A4 that thing is hello good but currently the 2A5 and 2A6 are in the game so don't play 2A4 Play 2A6
Hahaha you are right its a stupid thing.. stupid Battle rating.. stupid game if they no correct this mistakes
Lol
@Milan Grković good if you know what you're doing
The German experience is enjoy getting to 5.7, the cry as you use your giant 6.7 bricks against post war tanks.
@Kian Mar Just start with soviet and learn the game
I hate tier one you get one shot by every thing
Bring back the Maus, the 10.5cm King Tiger, and the Panther II. Sure they're not needed anymore but damnit, they were iconic!
I remember looking forward to the ground vehicles, anticipating the german panzers would be somehow imba, similar to real life. Gaijin, being the russians they are, just raised their BR to a level it's no fun anymore. '45 Tigers vs. cold war tanks, how badly do you want to frustrate the fans?? So I started playing the soviets out of curiosity & it felt like a campaign you could rush through in no time with all that easy XP to gain...
That’s SO true. I felt like German tanks became a murderous grind after the first Tiger. I’m at the Tiger II and Rus tanks just always clean house. Switch to my Rus or American tree and it’s like playing on easy.
how to play german tanks : 1)Play Stug III A 2)Unlock maus 3)look at maus's repair cost and go back to 1), replace maus with another german tank of your choice.
How do you buy the maus, I cannot find it in the ps store?
@Dr Death Unicorn DO IT FOR THE VINE
This is for realistic battles
What da repair cost
Hmmmm....
"Only a few guns at your battle rating can acually hurt you" * laughs in british mbt *
Well That's half true and half not true I have Killed a Tiger Tank and other Tiers. Its not about the Tiers it's about the Shells and the Tactics. If you're good at both of them then your in luck to Mostly Carry your team or Kill High Tier Tanks.
actually any other modern tanks too wich arent a rarety Edit: *also cries in german up tier*
“Never let any enemy see your sides” *shows a panther being easily front penned*
Its very hard to increase or decrease battle rating on some tanks because its very complex for many reasons, but think you should definately consider battle rating tolerance for matches to 0.7 if possible
Man, the Maus is a really impressive Tank, I sure do hope to be able to play it in the future without Gaijin removing it for no fricking reason.
I don't know if someone is reading this but: Playing the germans it is very difficult at rank 5. You can't play against cold war vehicles in a Tiger II. At the BR 7.7 you only have the Leopard 1 and the M48A2 G A2, if you played the tank destroyers maybe the Jagdpanzer 4-5, but there are missing tanks. There is a huge gab between rank 4 and rank 5, to make this BR enjoyable. Please add some tanks for the Vaterland. AND GIVE US SOME TANKS OF THE E-REIHE
To add to that: The good thing about the german tanks is the potent armor and punchy guns. Because of that, their menuverability suffers. On 3.7 - 5.7 this works very well. With most other nations at that BR having some form of HEAT or really thick armor
@Nothing they lowered the JP4-5, but the rest basically remained the same. While you can play late ww2 german vehicles against cold war Tanks, it's really not fun or easy. They also added some newer Tanks on 7.3, but I don't really think any of them at particularly good
Is it still the same? Im currently at 5.7 Germany and i was looking for Cold war era lol, shouldn’t they add some soviet variations, yk eastern Germany and stuff
The problem is not that the Tigers 88 is too weak, but the Tank overall is just too slow and cant hold against all the huge pen on that br
A Tiger fighting cold war tanks??? wtf??
My favorite German tank was one I used to hate: The Pz. II C and F variants. I didn't understand how to use them until I learned about the HV rounds.
“Even the well armored Kv1 should be afraid of him” Me: *laughs in being bullied by shermans*
@Lord Shadow don't say that name please you will get me nightmares
Expecially jumbos
i love the TAM since it is the unique tank in the AA tree cheap repair cost fast easy to own *and south american*
Your talking about the Maus, but your removing it now lol
I know gIjAn LGjc
Should be a WW2 mode in the game. Nothing beyond 1945, then the Germans would really show their true colours!
Thank hod transmission issues arent a thing in war thunder
@Shake N' Bake Since they removed maus cause it was too low production then is 3 and t29 will not be there since they were only as they say “Paper tanks”:).
@P. The Maus was finished.
That sounds perfect just add the is4m
Foxima Centauri It saw action in the victory parade
"You'll have a lot of fun... [playing the Tiger E, H1, and the Panther D]" - yeah, sure; if only you wouldn't get uptiered in every single battle, meaning you always have to fight post-war tanks. Surely 5.7 vs. 6.7 is fair and realistic, right? That's why I stick to BR 3.3 where the game is fun. Will we live to see Gaijin fix that completely and utterly broken mismatch-maker one day? I have serious doubts.
@JuriszzzGaming hello. I’m from the past. Thank u for telling
I am from the future. They wont.
You ruined my dream. Give me back the maus
*US* Give *us* back the Maus
name says it
I like your pfp lol
Sameeeeee
yes i want the maus back
Coming back to this video after update 1.93 is oh so very sad. This is the last video in which the Maus was mentioned, and now Gaijin doesn't even want to recognize that it was in the game. The change to the name of the Sturmpanzer 2 is also a sad sight. Just doesn't roll off the tounge as well now. We shall forever remember those lost to 1.91, and never forget the name of the Sturmpanzer 2. May they rest in peace.
My favorite would probably be the tiger h1 good reload hell of a punch and won't go down easy perfect for any battle situation but the flat armour is it's major flaw
Germany is fun till you hit the 6.7 black hole. Then everything from there and on is just agonizing frustration and pain. Hey 6.7 vs 7.7 is balanced right?
@Nade_s the tldr is it was once a system with more precise balance and fairness but now they refuse to put mid ww2 heavies in one tier and late in another, so the maus was removed and panther 2 and tiger 2 because they want to pretend the IS4 isnt the maus counterpart. They put the is3 against tiger 1s. 130 sloped pike vs 100 flat frontal, balance.
Theyre trolling anyone who picks Germany, name a tank the tiger doesnt get 1 shkt to from the front at range angled with 7 shells deployed, you cant. How to play sherman - blind fire at heavy tanks front ends.
Ah yes, facing Post War tanks in a ww2 brick is balance while screaming in pain.
@Nade_s I think there are only 7 tiers in War Thunder, I-VII. Tiers don't really mean anything, it's more about the battle rating which goes from 1.0 to 10.3.
I got like 3.5 K/D ratio with the Pz IV F2 in RB. One hell of a tank in my opinion ;)
You should add a feature that after shooting when you move your gun up the reload goes faster because in real life tanks do that to help the loader
Well based on their armor i still love the Tiger as it can take about 2-3 hits. Even though that it is expose is on the back making it easy for an enemy to ambush it. Its cannon and shell can help recover from it along with its speed.
My favorite German tank so far is the Panzer 3 F. It is, as you described, a tracked fortress, but if you look at the stats it's got a 79 kmph top speed, and I love using it at slightly higher tiers just for fun
lol imagine not having the maus and panther II
@Jack der Hauptsturmführer Seriously? I'm almost there, I don't want to be disappointed. Are BR 10+ a nightmare?
@Jack der Hauptsturmführer leopard 2 are the best tanks in the game
Pain...
:(
@Lil Pretzel this maybe a month old comment, but yeah it's unfortunate. Can't get to a good spot in time before getting mapped by ebrs or m18s and even if you kill them they just revenge bomb you.
And yet they had the nerve to remove 4 of these vehicles a year later due to BR issues Simple solution: increase the BR it's not that hard But nooooo, that too hard for wittle gaijin, all they know is the only way to fix a problem is to delete it You had one job, damned snail
Increasing BR wouldn't fix it, just create more problems by having them fight post-war tanks.
I love the Maus at most. It is so relaxing to drive it.
That armored car from the first rank is always fun but my true love (if it comes to german tanks) is the Panzerkampfwagen 4 Ausführung F2
Leopard 1 modifications: 30k RP T54: 10k RP Both have the same BR.
Well leo is just a direct upgrade in a 1v1 Cause heat makes the t54 just a slower version of the leo
I know it's been a while since this comment was posted, but I just verified this in game: the last T-54 has modifications ranging from 11k to 18k rp. The Leo 1 has mods ranging from 12k to 23k. Yes there's a difference, but its not 20k like the op said - more like 5k.
@BIOSHOCKFOXX That's true, but I meant for that BR (7.3-7). The A1A1 and L/44 are at 8.7.
@Elemental Sheep There are two Leo's, the second being A1A1, which is spaced armor upgraded version of Leo 1, and few other things modernized. T-54 has touch armor for most of the part, it has tricky, where against Leo you can penetrate where you want. T-54 is better option if you want the armor, and you can still penetrate most tanks just as well, and mobility on 54 is there too.
The leopard is an annoying tank to face Better make players trying to spade it suffer more
The German Tech Tree ... now with less tanks. Come for 1.91.
Currently, it's the Pz IV. F2. Since I just reached the first heavy tank (which is the Tiger H1) and just begun on rank 3
The most fun with German tanks is between BR 1.0 and 2.0. I actually love the BR 1.0 Sd.Kfz.221 armored car, with its 20 mm autocannon and up to 80 km per hour top speed, and it looks so much like a Volkswagen Beetle turned into a mini tank! It was actually made by Auto Union, which these days is Audi, part of the Volkswagen group. It has a rear mounted V8 engine and 4 wheel drive. Steers like a mad thing! There's the Jagdpanzer 1 at BR 1.7, and what is more fun than hunting aircraft with a Flakpanzer 1 at BR 1.3? PAK! PAK! PAK! Planes go BOOM! The extremely mobile Flakpanzer 38 is fun too, and then there is the BR 1.0 Panzerkampfwagen 2 C with its rapid fire 20 mm cannon. Until the Italians arrived, these guys were pretty much kings of the hill! I passed a few of these by quickly when I first began to play War Thunder, but rediscovered them recently. I think there are more options at Rank 1 for German ground vehicles than for any other nation. Even now, with the Italians and their rapid reload weapons, and the Japanese Rank 1 tanks packing HEAT, the Germans are still a force to be reckoned with.
Man too bad the maus isn’t in the game anymore I was really hyped to get it😢
Avoid 5.7, 6.7 and 7.7 it's currently the biggest dead zone for german tanks in my opinion, 5.7 germany cant deal with the heavy 6.7 t29 series tanks, 6.7 gets heat fs spammed and 7.7 has about 2 normal br tanks and usually a full team of 6.7 allies
6.7 is fantastic the tiger 2s destroy I got 15 kills as my highest kill game
5.7 is amazing if you use the Panthers on uptiers
the sturm panzer is my favorite. it was the first tank i got a double ace in one game with
Actually the combo of PzIV F2 and StuH 42 G is really good within the br of 4
Yeah, the "Djagdpenser", it was really a great tank.
@JJ Jj Come on man...
Jagdpanzer*
The Maus and the Pak Wagen were the reasons I was got the game, I now don’t really now what to look forward to now.
Yes the German would be amazing if thy were fighting their tanks from their time zone and not modern tanks I can’t tell you how many times I’ve dealt with a modern Russian tank when I’m a tiger
I got my first 8 kill streak today, i now plan on grinding out of the 1st german rank, its a great choice of vehicle
The Stpz. II also has a very strong gun shield. I can't recall how many rounds that have bounced off my Stpz. IIs gun shield. Lol. It's also ideal for holding a cap, because it has a surprisingly fast reload for the 150 (in my opinion). When you use this in conjunction with the Ho Ro, oh boy that's where the fun begins.
I like my german tanks to be honest.... even if you hit the 6.7 "black hole" it's even more fun (maybe because I like a good chellenge)
My current favorite is the German lunchbox (Hetzer) The amount of times I went 1v1 on jumbos and other heavy tanks is without count
The german tank i like the most is leapard 2a5 with its arrow head design
And it's only going to get easier with the removal of four tanks!
You gonna need to redo this video once 1.91 drops
Love your name and profile pic
You know StuGs are suposed to have good armor but with 200 games experience! Stugs are pieces of paper! They wont pierce anything and they got no armor at all :) wouldnt be suprised if a machinegun pierced and killed everyone in the tank with 1 shot
I always use the StuG series of Tank Destroyers but I use it in frontline combat. Always flanked by another tank lmao
One of the tanks here turned me off the game completely. It's the TD tank @ 0:10. If this tank got hit at the very top edge of the turret and seeing as there aren't any "walls" shrapnel can bounce off to, you'd think it would be fine but fakking NO. I got hit at that spot and SOMEHOW my gunner and commander is dead. No shrapnel, nothing. My tank's dead and I'm out.
Few things I hate about them is that almost every tank has ammo on the sides and I hate how some tanks have sooooo slow turet rotation.
Tiger boys my armors good wait I got up tiered again
I play tiger h1 at 7.0 and that averages 2 frags per game
Use punctuation bro
Is-2 (1944) 6.3 URAAAAA
@W H T95>Every other tank ever built nobody will ever change my opinion
I hate the fact that I relate to this. When I got my tiger I was so hyped about the fact that I got such a heavily armored machine. Until I got in and got one shot by an is-2 even with optimal angling.
8:20 bring back the Maus!
@rusty_sniper Same! Good job with yours :) I plan on fighting my brother's 1.0 br tank in custom battles lol
Today is the last day you can invest rp into the Maus, and I invested mine last night ☺
Incase you haven't heard yet, they're bringing it back for three days soon :)
Yas BRING IT BACK GAIJIN ITS 1 YEAR ALREADY AND WE WANT FUN WITH MAUS
Best german lineup Kv1b Herman german sherman German churchill German t34 Pz behels j (or normal j) Romanian duck 109 f4 Whirbel You see, the best german vehicles aren't german
5:31 that moment when the Beutepanzer T34 has half the amorthickness than the Standart one... seems balanced? Right Gajin??
My favorite has to be between the tiger 2 10.5 and the vk.45.01p
"Coming straight from Germany" while showing a Czech tank... Well played Gaijin, you had one job...
@politically inaccurate toaster no. The point is that it was purely Czech design and when Czechoslovakia was dissolved and captured, over 100 LT 38s were already ready for service, falling straight to German hands
When the tank was made, Czechoslovakia was part of Germany Someone's eager to point out mess ups I see
@Richardsen As well as annexed france, poland, norway... Yeah, sure
Wot CZ Technik 😂
The Czech Republic and Slovakia should sue for copyright XD. Not a bad idea
you really have to balance t34s vs Panzer 3 and 4. I sometimes have encounters where i score 10+ critical hits vs a t34 and cant even get it to stop, before I explode by the first round fired back.. T34 are overpowered AF.
On a T34 you really have to aim for weak spots like the ring or cheeks on the turret. Most of the time you can’t pen the front plate with the Panzer 4 F2 without some good angle. Meanwhile the pea shooter that the T34 has can still pen the shitty armor that the Panzer 4 has. Also, the fuel tanks always absorb shots for some reason.
I just Got the Tiger H1, I was so excited to get it because I thought it would be a “tough” tank to use, but I keep getting my ass kicked by KV’s, Firefly’s and T34. Can someone tell me how to solve that problem, I really want to get kills with the Tiger H1, Thanks
Can’t wait to get the Panther 2, the Maus, or King Tiger 10.5 mm........ WAIT!
I played the german tanks because in the high tier, the mbt are much better than other country's mbt and because mid and high tier german tanks are excellent.
Since all the German late tier vehicles are of western design, could the Germans be able to play together with their western allies in RB again?
It would make the game aids to play cause now I have to fight 2 nations that depend on cheatfs spam
@J.K 90 percent of my games are aganist germans and russians together, usa germany and russia are the most played nations
@flamingrubys11 If you play Murica you might see it this way. As a German player, its usually the world vs Germany (maybe a single Japanese or Italian vehicle)
@J.K russoam plauers always play with germans
It's funny watching jagdtigers and t-32s bounce off my front plate Finally revenge over all those hours of pain in a is2 44
8,8 CM Flak is a good AA Flak but the Maus needs to come back to the researchable vehicles. I would have to say the Hetzer is my favourite tank from World Of Tanks and Heroes and Generals but I Love the Hetzer in Heroes and Generals because you can change gunner views and fight on foot with your tank commander oh and the other thing in Heroes And Generals is that you can move the machine gun 360 degrees killing any enemy Recon and infantry and you can steel enemy tanks for fun or troll the enemy team. A whole lot of fun to everyone.
Having fun win the German until I got the pz f2 I was just about to test in a realistic battle until I found a PT76 when I was guarding a point how the hell can that be a balance battle
I'm not that much of a frequent player, but i love the Sturmpanzer 2 so far.
For some reason (maybe it's just for me ) The tiger P has been removed From the tech tree.
My favorite part of the 2A4 is where it's armor is not tested in the game, so you can penetrate it with machineguns
Dms110 The 2a5 can be killed from the front with a BT-7 (F-32)
Love the Panther last night I got a 14 kill, kill streak in just the Panther
I'm about to get my first modern tank called Leopard and I know I'm going to get destroyed.
My absolute favorite beyond any doubt? the Panther 2 :)
just Shane You serious?
Pewma. Also, I can confirm that pumas can be fun to play and a pain for the other team. It's funny when your reverse and turn speed is so good that half the enemy team takes five minutes to kill you while you annoy them and your team steal the objectives.
I think it is easier to climb the Everest mountain than to climb the Ranks of the German Tech-tree.
I gotta say, Dagor 2.0? 3.0? really made the graphics good. I am looking at this and can't believe it is War Thunder, they look like toy tanks instead.
the sturer emil can actually get through the top tier leopard
6:16 never let an enemy hit your side “Gets from the front”
that's actually from the side if you take a close look
I gotta say my favorite tanks are the Tiger II P, Waffentrager, Panther A, and the Pz. IV F2.
Michael Carrasquillo My favourite (not counting modern tanks) is tiger h1, panther A, tiger 10,5cm, MAUS, and tiger 2h
3:39 "Welcome to the Third Rank" I see what you did there...
