50 cals in War Thunder are notoriously powerful for what is a heavy machine gun in a game where large calibre cannons exist!
In fact, this entire lineup consists of 3 vehicles with TWENTY 50 cals between them. That’s an average of 7.3 M2 Brownings per vehicle!
Gaijin recently buffed the .50 by giving it 30mm penetration on planes with the AP belt and an extra 1mm on planes with 31mm total!
So, today I take out the M16, A-36 Apache and SB2C Dauntless with gun pods for some extra BRAP!

IN THIS VIDEO IN THIS VIDEO IN THIS VIDEO IN THIS VIDEO IN THIS VIDEO IN THIS VIDEO IN THIS VIDEO IN THIS VIDEO IN THIS VIDEO IN THIS VIDEO DO YOU THINK 50 CALS ARE A BIT RIDICULOUS? WHAT US CAS PLANE ARE YOU USING?!
A-4b cuz I’m trying to spade it
It’s not going so well
@shroder All that weight + the absolute insanity that is the Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp means you accelerate quickly in dives & just run away from all your would be problems 😁
which 50cals? you mean in this video?
show the rage quite montage one time.😂
i die more to planes than tanks. Doesnt matter if im open top or not. Just get 50 cal’d or carpet bombed. Makes the game so unenjoyable in ground rb.
odd can you make a video on the worst tank arl-44 plz? day 4
lol recieves the low end of cas too op while tis mas are 4.3 ruining low tier
Odd i love your content any plans on making more “a war thunder story” videos those always seem to be the most suspenseful like im watching an actual movie.thanks for the videos :,)
Games like those are super rare. I can’t script them so they just come as they are!
hey odd, whens your new decal coming out
French 1.3 p7t AA melts vehicles from the sides. It’s a blast to go out early game in it and pick on light tanks especially at low br
New Meta… M16 start.
hey odd, do you ever play any other games? i’m not complaining i think we can all agree that we love your wt content, but i’m just curious lol
I brought the M16 on plenty of games myself. love the 50 cals.
I’d like you to revisit the Obj. 120, but with HE only.
1:10 this is why WT ground battles are fucked. What could that panzer have done against the air plane, angling not possible, shooting back yeah haha good joke. So the airplane get’s free kills which seems reaaaallly balanced… not. Please make Planes less effective against tanks or tanks more resilient/ having it easier countering planes. heck with bombs you don’t even have to aim and that frustrates me. Welcome to my ted talk
Finally someone brings out my absolute favorite p51 variant, being the a-36 just because you get it at such a low br and dont have to worry about bringing it with you to higher brs, ive had success even in 6.0 with my a-36
50 Cals look better than my 20-30mm Hvap Ö_Ö
When you compared the A36 to “a rock with wings” I just about choked on coffee laughing at your analogy of the plane. Youre awsome oddbawz. Love your content.
I’m an WoTB player, never have played war thunder, but I keep coming back to your vids. The accent and the gameplays is amazing 😂 keep it up
Quad cannon
oddbawz would love to see a chieftain line up its my favourite platform from the British army and I am grinding the game to get to them lol would be awesome to see you thoughts on them and to see what the chieftain marksman is like as well
Day 99 asking for the best 5.7 fighter, the American spitfire!
the zut-37 requests a spot in your line up.
Bawz I like every vid as it begins and is always a joy to watch your cas play cause I can’t play air planes
Do 20mm
Day 16 of asking Odd to get 10 kills in the Spj/fm 43-44 at 11.0.
Average *ruining others experience* player
An ordinary heavy machine gun, no worse and no better than others. BUT, in this game, not people are sitting in the planes, but robots for which it is not difficult to take any plane out of a dive at any speed and any angle of attack. A simple example: when diving with an angle of more than 30 degrees, the pilot of the Hs-129 did not have enough physical strength to deflect the rudders. In the game, we can take the Hs-129 out of a dive at any speed and angle.
I can only get assists with any American plane with 50s mine never do any damage. My p51 H and p80a are probably the worst planes I have.
dude showed the whole video in the intro🥳 why would i continue looking after that lmao. 😒🤍💥🥵🤤
The rest of the video is different gameplay. I’m not PhlyDaily! 🙂
uh haven’t they already nerfed them before? i think they are fine, i feel like they used to be better in air battles tbh.
They’re not OP. They’re actually more realistic now than they’ve ever been. You can find penetration and ballistic values for .50 caliber ammunition and the guys that fire them. Gaijin finally have gotten it right.
Op or not it’s accurate lol they could pen an inch at 100 meters. And p51 pilots even killed tigers by ricocheting rounds under the tank they would pen the bottom deck of a tiger.
I tried a similar loadout today, the A-36 with gun pods is stupid broken now
Audie Murphy was able to hold off German tanks with a 50 cal because they knew it would disable their main guns and tracks, plus they had to drive downhill, then up hill to get to him, which meant their engine bays would have been exposed.
You can halt tank supported infantry if the terrain is right with a browning 50
Something I would have loved to have seen would be the match results. I’m always curious as to how much SL and RP you make per game, but you cut it out and go to the next match.
Oh lawd he comin
john moses browning stirring in his grave: real shit?
I love playing AA, but I have the Phly curse.
Why do I never get that lucky when I fly planes
You are so lucky 😉 love watching your games.
If you like AA play the Kugleblitz, it’s fantastic for obliterating American CAS
I just did a video on it! 🙂
@OddBawZ I can’t believe I didn’t see it, idk how I missed it.
I dont see Cal never mind 50 of them 😜
OddBawz its not murder its a “MASSACRE” 😜
.50 cals are Op since years….nothing new.
Bro the m16 is way to overpowered when it is 3.0 below against tanks I got a 7 kill game with the m16. And the dauntless flies like a brick but those 6 50. Cals are fun to play with against planes. And I literally bring the dauntless to 5.7 and I still somehow get kills
Let’s be honest, this game is a joke when it comes to any kind of accuracy towards the vehicles it has lol
how come you never use your Arty?, tracked a tank that you can’t pen with 50 cals and then you drive off behind some rocks perfect target for the Artillery, perfect time to call it too, i don’t see you use any in your other videos either.
Bro what do u sight ur guns to
Hey Odd if your planning on using more .50s use the A26 at 5.3 in the US tree it has 14x Nose mounted 12.7mm aka .50 cals 😃🙃
For those asking why calling .50 CALS for 12.7mm It’s just that 50cals are 0.50 inch which is 127mm in the game.
Amx dca. Not the good one but the single gun open top or the Swedish single 40 with the speedy traverse
yesterday I had an American opponent that was complaining about the fact that his 50cal could not destroy Gun barrels anymore
the best 50 cal plane is the a-36
