Hey new vid!  https://youtu.be/P0sfc1FehXc

It was supposed to be a long and full new video, but youtube said that my epic music had copyright and honestly i wont change everything for that... its easier to make a new one from scratch hahaha.
Leave a like, a comment and/or subscribe to give me some motivation to keep creating nice and fun content!

Does YouTube not let you upload the video if it’s copyrighted?

Yeah, you're right. It's a Sherman at the 1:00 mark. I love things that look cool - even by accident. Politics aside, I appreciate a good fluke!

That was pretty cool though, the jeep using the M10 as a ramp, rolling over, then righting again with a flaming tank in its Wake. In terms of spectacle, it looked great!

Hey! I watched that video today. It was good!
I’m running Windows 10 on an entry level gaming laptop and the built in Game Bar recorder works really well without lag. Even with a browser playing Spotify in the background and sometimes RM - though I don’t think that takes much power. The only thing I don’t like is that it’s not a screen recorder, it’s a program recorder. So if you Alt TAB out then the recorder stops. Also, I unlinked Game Bar from the Video folder and I can’t get it to relink. So Now I have to find the TEMP folder in the C drive to retrieve my videos.

There is an improved texture version. Have you used that? I got as far as downloading it but never got past the Read Me.

No I didn’t , I surely think that it will be nonworking for me cause this update isn’t well optimised , I will have huge lags

You are probably right. But I greatly respect the effort that the creator has gone to.

Not a cheat. Anyone can use the fix and configure it as they please as Max pointed out.

Thanks! It's hard to know sometimes what's legit and whats a cheat. The wide screen patch where, if you're in a tank, you can see around the edges of the standard driver's window, for example. I thought that would be called a cheat. It would be good to have a list of acceptable things and one of unacceptable things.

Thanks, I'll try it and see. Around 2015 I had a mouse that had the best natural sensitivity for me. It was a cheap wireless mouse and it didn't have any adjustable settings but it was perfectly smooth and easy to aim with. Even with better and better quality mouses, I've never had that smoothness since.

That may be true, but his videos are entertaining. And the key point is that they're entertaining for people who are not already locked into BF42. OK, so I'm watching his videos and I sometimes think, "Geez, that a bit of a cheap shot", but we are not really the audience that he's going for. I could be wrong, I often am; and I'm usually a bit tipsy. That stated, I think Mr Tragic is doing a good service to this game because he's trying to promote it to people outside of the locked-in bubble. Newbies, returnies, and people who are sick of paying for skins and loot: these are the people we need to keep this ridiculous game humming for another 20 years.

I reckon you should tell him how you feel - in the comments section of his videos. Give him some engagement and help him in his battle against the algorithm: because if he wins, and recruits players; then we all win.

Promoting main base camping isn’t a great way to show new players how to play the game. If they ever bother to install the game and play it, it will only lead to kicks, bans and unban appeals.

Also I understand what you are saying but I don’t really think new players are interested in BF1942. Not enough eye candy for them. Returning players and veterans are a better audience.

Yeah you're right, don't glorify base camping and cheap play.

In terms of attracting players, I've uploaded a few BF42 videos and some of the regular comments I get suggest untapped markets:

"How are you playing this game online? Didn't Gamespy shut down in 2014?" - There are people who thought that was the end!
"My dad used to play this when I was a kid." - There are people who have a nostalgic attachment even though they never played.
"This game keeps popping up on my timeline. What is it?" - People who don't know BF42 but are aware that it has an active player base and are interested.

The wider the audience that people like Tragic have, the more potential players will realise that BF42 has an active player base.
But, yeah, he shouldn't upload spawn camping and stuff like that.

I’ve watched some of your videos , interesting the gameplay and editing , I’m just lazy to editing lol nohow do get my hands on it, I just uploads full rounds

I feel you're right about people not wanting to let out the secrets of the game. As for driving slowly over mines, I'm too impatient for that!
Yes, New Zealand will have very high ping. Actually I moved to Japan about 15 years ago so my ping is a little better - but not much. I get 120 ping on the TGE server and much higher on the others. I'm used to it though. Yeah, I'm also pretty lazy with video editing too, and most of the vids I upload are just full games.

I had the absolute honour of playing with former German chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday night ( https://youtu.be/gv1rO0pLQ10?si=yBbB4T9-qOkl9qh2 ).
And then, how happy was I to see that Angela had uploaded our game to YouTube! I decided to put together a clip of the same event from two perspectives. I hope it's OK for me to do this.
TBH I spent most of this game crashing into stuff with a BF109, but for a moment here I was a useful teammate smile

I'm just glad to help, well, bf42 is just an arcade sandbox, and war thunder is a realistic tank-airplane simulator, WOT is also an arcade game, I played it for less than a month, then switched to war thunder in 2013, well, until 2018 it was a great game, with realism, realistic physics, a good server, there wasnt  desync and other bullshit, there was real REALISM (sorry for the tautology) after, having gained great popularity and moved WOT to second place in popularity, the devs began to create complete bullshit, the introduction of volumetric projectiles, undeserved overestimation of battle ratings( for example tiger 2 which was ww2 epoch tank playing with BMP-2 which was created in 1980 xD with a homing missile which just pierced his armor like a knife through butter, it was just unplayable, dishonest and not historical)  targeting donations, ruined the game that I played for 9 years. The developers did not listen to the main target audience (CIS) and more skilled, they listened to the USA ps. (the bunch of johns, as we called them), who simply donated and did nothing but sat behind a stone and here is their game. There is nothing left of realism, only the word. I didn't like playing a game where I couldn't kill an M18 cardboard self-propelled tank with one shot from the is-2.
Until 2020, I would have killed her, since there was a hull-destroying mechanic (you didn't have to inflict serious wounds, it was enough just to shoot at the silhouette and the tank was considered destroyed), if hit with calibers too large compared to the armor, the tank simply annihilated, then it was removed and now the most tenacious tanks, which aren’t tanks at all, but cardboard cars, because large shells when they hit cardboard, hasnt cocked, because the armor is too thin, it's very stupid, our whole community then wanted to put devs in a lada and shoot at it with fv4005 and see what happens to them))). A bunch of shit happened to my favorite lovely game, I finished it in 2022 and then switched to bf (sometimes I play cs1.6 where i am still good, na problems with regs, and another shit)))
The rhombus helped me a lot in tanks, it increased your armor, it was impossible to break through a tiger with a perfect rhombus, just to break the his gun and go around him to hit in sides.
Thx for the question, and sorry if you got tired of this long dissertation xd, I just wanted to share my luggage with someone)

Thank you for your long answer. I know the feeling. For some reason, game developers love to ruin perfectly good games. I used to play PUBG but now that's ruined, too. And a mobile game called Polytopia that I used to absolutely love - they changed beyond recognition.

But most of all, thank you for this line: "our whole community then wanted to put devs in a lada and shoot at it with fv4005 and see what happens to them". Why? Because it pulled at nostalgic memories from my early teen years in New Zealand. You see, just before the Soviet Union collapsed, New Zealand sold Russia a large shipment of Sheep. But after the USSR collapsed the payment was unable to be made. Initially Russia offered New Zealand military hardware but NZ has close military relations with Australia and can't use non-Western hardware. So instead we received a large shipment of Ladas. A lot of them. Loads and loads of Ladas. For the early years of the 1990s New Zealand TV was full of Lada commercials:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11H34wPLM00

This is a turn of the tank at an angle of 20 degrees to the enemy, there is also a reverse rhombus, these terms are from the game world of tanks and war thunder, which I played for 10 years, in BF this rhombus does not really affect, of course, because this is an arcade game and there is not a drop of realism of real physics, etc.
The most effective rhombus on the T34, KV-1, and Tiger N tanks (1) and the reverse rhombus at is-1 (ass-rhombus)

Thank you for explaining that. I'd never heard Rhombus used in that context before and it was confusing me. How do you rate world of tanks and war thunder as games compared to BF42?

And if you've watched my videos, then you're either blatantly lying now or you don't know what a camera is by yourself. And tell me the diff as u said “new” tankers and “old” tankers, ittook me less than six months to master tank from zero, the only thing I didn't know was the perfect T34 rhombus, which Simon kindly explained to me (in principle, I didn't know this because I didn't play the t34 quite a lot like him)

What do you mean by T34 rhombus? My image of a rhombus is a WW1 tank design. Do you mean the rhombus shape of the turret?

10 years ago there was a thread here detailing the strong and weak points of every tank, where to hit for a one-shot-kill, gun damage, and everything you'd ever want to know. It's probably still here somewhere. I must say my tank-to-tank skills have dropped catastrophically over the past ten years. I used to be able to hit a Tiger in that weak spot in the inside of the front tracks. Now it takes me ten shots to kill a Sherman with a Tiger!
