In this episode I'll be playing in War Thunder Ground Simulator Battles. The gamemode which isn't very know or popular as arcade or realistic battles.
And this time I'm playing with German tank destroyer Sturer Emil with 128mm cannon (at 4.3 Battle Rating). Slow but very powerful machine.
Low BR Jagdtiger!

On this DOLLARplays KZhead channel you will find highly edited funny moments, memes of War Thunder(free-to-play vehicular combat multiplayer video game similar to World of Tanks with more realistic gameplay), Escape From Tarkov (a multiplayer first-person shooter video game), SnowRunner( off-road simulation video game),Elden Ring (the first open world Dark Souls game), Cyberpunk 2077(an action role-playing video game), Enlisted (squad-based first-person ww2 shooter game),Star Citizen(multiplayer space trading and combat simulation game),and others most popular video games.
War Thunder is a free-to-play vehicular combat multiplayer video game developed and published by Gaijin Entertainment. It has a cross-platform format for Microsoft Windows, macOS, Linux, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Shield Android TV.
War Thunder similar game to World of Tanks, and World of Warships, but with more realistic approach. Similar to games like hell let loose, post scriptum , squad, and others
I think I used SIM custom sights form this pack(I got it long time ago) live.warthunder.com/post/719009/en/ It's been a long time since I played SIM. When you don't have any kinds of markers, friendly fire is on, and no 3rd person peaking around corners it definitely hits different. And some of the maps are massive. Give it a try ;)
Ayo dollar you could make this your intro like: hmh and then the intro started xdd love your videos
@@gatoxd7544 i just had a stroke trying to understand your comment
i dare you to do simulator in a plane
Sim Is so much fun. It would be even better if Earlier SPAAs could be brought instead of only what is at that BR range.
Well playing Sim with my beloved partner when possible is fun with stock sight(is hard but fun) I just enjoy it when is friendly fire because cost penalty *chuckle*
This thing has more gun depression than i have depression trying to grind the british tech tree
It has more depression than me playing war thunder
Has more depression than me in general
Real depression are 4-5 ranks of every nation
I just don't get how BMP full of expensive atgms have lower repair cost than a tank with stabilizer. Also, falcon at 8.0 instead of 7.0-7.3 makes me question life.
🤣true enough
*shell misses, lands under the tank* gaijin: "nuked" *128mm aphe shell hits the side of the tank right into sensitive part of suspension* gaijin:"quantum teleportation portal activated"
right i feel like when you hit suspension it should effect the way it drives.
To be fair, it is quite common for explosions near a tank to detrack them and result in a mobility kill. The rule of thumb is artillery strikes within 50m can risk a mobility kill for a tank. For the latter though... yeah... not so much.
a 128mm shell straight into the suspension would tear the suspension off.@@imablock16
@@zeriel9148arty uses different shells
cause it blew up under the M18 but only penetrated PT-76, no explosion
More sim vids would be a treat! I think its a "safe" haven for now away from GRB. Potentially better teammates, CAS is less effective as it actually takes somewaht skill from the cockpit view(compared to ground RB), true gunner sights make it satisfying to get a long range snipe.
Except you get nothing from the battlepass. I think sim would get 30% more players if you could do daily tasks and challenges in ground simulator..
@@IvanTre who cares about the battle ass. Its nothing but crap now, only the first 2 were good.
@@monolitwoods BV 155 would like a word with you.
@@monolitwoods lots of bonuses, free premium plane, etc.
@@monolitwoods I care a bit because that's my primary means of obtaining backups.
i got back into this game im far better now then when i started your videos really helped me learn pacing and i have fun when its a balanced match 😎
Hell yeah mate 💪🏻
I actually stopped playing cause the M61 ruined the last BR I could really have fun in. 5.7 used to be so much fun, you weren't just shitting on new people cause the BR is to low and the tanks were all mostly balanced. But unfortunately now playing 5.7 is just M61 thunder.
Im basically just so bad in this game but i still wanted to play But im to noob :v
@@tukangpintu9578 Dont focus on winning! You should always try to win but dont get mad if you dont. What helped me to not loose interest was concentrating on doing my dailies (For unlocking premium stuff and co) and make my tanks look awesome (I came frome hobby modelling so i tend to arrange my tanks like a little diorama... I actually look up rl pictures and can do this "dio" thingy for HOURS, so therapeutic to me)! Your first 500 hours of gameplay will be only your fundamentals anyway, so take them with a grain of salt ;) Just keep learning and you'll be decent in no time!
@@3NC3PH4L0N yea thats a good thing :)
2:54 The Sturer Emil working as intended: Destroying Soviet heavy armor.
Yeah, watching that UFP shot on that IS-2 was beautiful.
That is2 was angled in a less than optimal way though. Would it go through if it was angled properly?
@@caralho5237 IMAO, theres no angle angainst that shell
Once upon a time, simulator was just a normal gamemode. I loved it because you couldn't get revenge bombed by planes(there was no plane in SB or RB ground forces back then). It was the most fun I had with GF.
I don't even remember that . Had to be very long time ago
SB was dead once they removed the markings of friendly players from everywhere. Since then its just everyone randomly roaming around with no one knowing what is happening
Cool
To be fair its called simulator battles for a reason
Dicker Max and Sturer Emil when at long range or holding down a long street: *Buff Doge* Dicker Max and Sturer Emil anywhere else (can get flanked with relative ease): *Sad Cheems*
Meanwile me on abandoned factory getting 13 kills with sturer Emil (I'm f2p, no muny spent, crew low lvl, almost Max possible reload) Edit: and LOOONG ass repair
7:33 to 7:50 This is just a work of art. I think you could always find work as a director of photography in films
What I thought about simulator battles with tank was like a very scall down still "open world" style game like you have with planes, but no instead you have just regular map with friendly fire on
Well you get bigger version of regular maps(if there's any). But yeah some bigger scale conflict would be nice
It's more fun imo, two reasons are the lack of cas and people that play SIM tanks have better awareness on both sides so it feels like you're not playing against bots.
A few years ago someone wrote up an entire proposal for proper combined arms EC, Naval, Ground and Air. Captureable bases, logistics, and a massive amount of players for it. Too bad the netcode can't even handle naval ec with 40 players.
@@VonApennn untill youg et killed by a freindly that sees your tiger 1P as a american tank
@@VonApennn wdym lack of cas? lol Dollar got killed by cas at least thrice in this video.
Sim is probably the best gamemode... except when people used captured vehicles, many times i've killed friendly italian vehicles because they are in un-marked allied vehicles and not pinging their location ever. Other than that, 10/10
I blame then for not comically covering their tank in proper markings
Honestly rather get tk'd by a teammate when im in my captured german stuff because no pts for enemy and free repair for me 😁 Edit: also fun to roll up next to the enemy and see if they notice im on the other team lol
If you're ever unsure if it's an enemy or friendly, if the situation allows for it you should hit them with an MG and see if you get credit for a hit. Captured vehicles are very dangerous for the opposing team when they're used correctly. Also should take note of what captured vics are on your team and remember where they go so you have a general idea of their whereabouts.
Honestly if a dude pinged his position and I saw a captured/lend lease vehicle I would assume he was pinging an enemy and shoot him
Remember people! When you click rangefinding on a tank in your sight, the HUD will tell you if there is an enemy there!
A little Tipp, you can mark on map when you press ALT and click on the mini Map, so you can still see the Battlefield
I really, REALLY want a 1 hour video of Dollar's favorite tanks (especially the Maus) just rolling across the map while listening to his playlist Great video man
Synthwave? Edit kzhead.info/sun/Y7WEgdCeb6Rtn6s/bejne.html at 8:00 start
@@Muhanoid Doesn't have tanks and it doesn't have Transhumanism at the start 0/10 not enough VHS filter
Dollar I think you just inspired me to try sim battles again. Last time I went near those was a year and a half ago. Don't think I'll do as well as you but it's worth a shot! Great vid as always!
Give it a try, just make sure to check what country's are on your side 😉😅
@@DOLLARplays I'm gonna go full bore with modern Armour, really spice things up a bit!
I love this tank and always use in 5.7 - 6.4 BR battle. But I hate this tank when enemy CAS in coming
Dats why sim is kinda superior, in sim planes are rare
Like at 14:08 a dude revenge kills him because they are slaty and you can’t do anything about it
Fun fact, the PT76-57 fights tiger 2 p and Ferdinand’s in 6.3 sim bracket
It doesn't anymore. There were a number of public protests and feedback reports from Gaijin, and the PT-76-57 is no longer playable in 6.3 sim.
Oh wow, Gaijin listened to public protests?
Oh my... laser rangefinder, high mobility , fast fire rate, and the stabilizer on those massive maps lol had to be fun enemy to fight against
@@DOLLARplays ye... very fun
@@veritusahriman9720 hmmm tbis name seems familiar -thegamingtemplar
Thank you for this video. I mainly play simulator battles and I'm very glad that a youtuber teaches others how it works, because 90% of the team can't play, so every second battle my teammate get shoot me , thank you very much, and I hope it changes this time. :)
4:47 - I felt that in my soul. Volumetric Shells is the WORST mechanic ever added to War Thunder.
The Sturer Emil takes down a target, it also takes down half a city block in the process. 1:32
Truly a gem, after getting some nations fully unlocked I've been playing simulator battles since I can't decide what to use and it's truly a treat, watching enemies team kill XD and any CAS kills are actually satisfying to get
I always go to sim battles if I wanna play low tier tanks... just makes it that much more epic and satisfying when getting kills
Lets go for another great video,with one of my favorites tanks
Always love your synthwave glory shots 😩 keep up the great content! Your visual and audio jokes are always entertaining.
it's so awesome seeing other ppl do GSB, could you do a top tier ground sim battle? They're so fun
I should do in the future. Since there's some massive maps for top tier
@@DOLLARplays Yessss! Europian Providence is amazing at that BR, gimme thermals, a rangefinder, and 11.0 germany and I'm good to go mwahhahahaha
@@DOLLARplays yeah, and sim makes it much mote fun as well
Yeah, all those US and Russian vehicles in the other nations make this mode really difficult.
Indeed it does make it more difficult, but that also makes it more interesting. You have to identify every target before shooting
@@DOLLARplays The issue arises when a copy-pasta finds a nation-specific vehicle. For example, an Italian M24 and Cromwell spot each other as they both drive onto a street. The Italian M24 immediately knows the Cromwell is an enemy while the Cromwell has to stop and identify if it's American, if he even can since it's so easy to dress up the M24 to _look_ American. This gives the M24 a head-start to get the first shot off unless the Cromwell indiscriminately shoots at every M24 he meets after entering the battlefield. Not very optimal IMO.
Or when rhe m18 skins were bugged... don't forget that...
@@no-legjohnny3691 It's hella painful. You have to know the slightly different shades of green camo to tell them apart. Italian Hellcats have no mantlet covers.
@@no-legjohnny3691 well, it's a double edge sword...when driving a captured vehicle you indeed gain highground over an encounter thanks to hesitation but you also tend to be friendly fired quite a lot so you can't roam the map freely. I took the habit to put insignas of my real nation everywhere on the freaking tank: rear, sides, top (for planes but I doubt they can see it honnestly), sometimes even front (on KW1C for exemple, because side ones aren't needed since you easely spot the german 75, but facing it the muzzle can be hard to spot)
Ah yes I really love your video, it's been 1 year or so watching your video and it's keep getting better. Thanks dollar and keep making videos like these plss
🤟🏻
1:06, this has me dying lmao, I'm surprised you can fit all those references, great video as always
Dude I've been waiting for you to do a sim and you've already done it. You're just the best! I'd love to see your masterful skills applied in sim more. I need to see more!! 🤘🤘🤘💪💪💪💪✌️✌️❤️❤️❤️
I love simulator battles, even managed to get the "How is this possible" achievement with the japanese ferdinand
👍🏻
I want pay big respect to you for your interesting and funny content, montage work, memes. And your accent is beautiful, i understand every word! (usually I don't understand half of American and English speech.) Shorter, big respect to you, Pollar Plasy, you cool.
🤟🏻
@@DOLLARplays yeah🤘 I specially was waiting until 3 am to get like from you.
@@user-jb6jf3ic7s a lot of comments, I try to read much as I can. But it takes time;)
I really like Emil, and didn't expect that you going to małe a video about this, do I had surprise 😁 Thank you
I busted out laughing a couple times in Target. This is definitely one of my favs. Thanks for the good work man
Nice to see you play simulator battles ! did you knew you can use your rangefinder on allies to "request" if it's an ally or not ? :D
Oh yeah, but seems like it didn't work for me whenever I tried
@@DOLLARplays Thanks for populating my main gamemode :) Can you make one more video with explaining why people better pick normal vehicles and not m24 against Tigers? You are way more popular than any SB youtuber and this may help gamemode a lot :) P.S. Short guide about how to ID enemy/ally tank would be good as well, but it wouldnt be that short+ feel free to ask for help with this if you decide to make it =)
i do that but its either not that good or just buggy, sometimes it just doesnt work, other times it just stops because theyre moving or a little bush covers half a track, or you literally have to look at them for a longer period of time and maybe die
@@kendrickvickers2610Just check ur team list. if they are not of the same nation or are not on the list, then they are probably an enemy
This is real hungarian general💪🏿🧔🏿
your edits are always so visually satisfying and auditory wonders i love your videos
Hey dollar another great video my friend! And some good news I finally managed to scrounge up some cash to finally be able to get your decal! I love how it looks on my heavy tanks such as the maus! Thanks for all you do!
Glad you like it mate, keep angling 💪🏻😎
Excuse me... the Emil has pathetic depression, doesn't the matilda have 20 degrees of gun depression🤔😂
Matilda do be having lots of depression.
WALL-E has 30
@@DatBoi_TheGudBIAS indeed but it's got filthy ATGMs😆
@@liamboyle9199 I was just wining the depression argument, if I shot atgms, I would also be severely depressed to know the only way I can kill an enemy is Tru a propelled heat round
Holy cow Matilda is very depressed lol
14:21 that's why you should always have some HE in stock
Probably
panther HE has very poor explosive filler so it probably wouldn't work
@@4T3hM4kr0n it works, even a 47mm HE can kill any open top.
@@k_balu-8104 yeah if its an anti aircraft round due to its explosive filler
@@4T3hM4kr0n It isn't what the hell are you talking about lmao, HE is anti-infantry, anti-fortification round, not anti aircraft lol
I play sim only, cannot stand 3rd person view, gunsight inside gun barrel, mix nations and easymode airplanes in RB. Few tips: - T-4-1 "Follow me" is used as "This is my position" as it places marker on map. Use it often. - alt+click on minimap to mark enemies. - in battle mode when each team starts with one cap, spam message to your team to defend. A team which defends their cap usually wins.
i very much enjoy the cold opens you make. its a little touch sure but always crack a smile.
"ow" he says when the shell lands 20 feet in front of him

Those edits! thank you for you out there making fun Wt !
First video I watched from your channel, I love it 😍
Ah yes, it's not a true Sim Battles session if you're not shot right up your poop shoot by a friendly German main. Brings back memories.
its also not a sim battle if you dont shoot a american covered in bushes and find out its not an enemy american tank but one of your allies driving a lendlease. And he's hidden the only identification markings behind all those bushes. And then get called a trash player like its your fault And then you get teamkilled by someone driving the exact same tank as you
@@CrazyDutchguys The nostalgia is strong here. :D
Last time I played sim I got teamkilled in my Japanese m4a3 despite the guy shooting my Japanese flag to kill me but people make mistakes Then in my Chi Ri 2 I got teamkilled again for no reason. One person on our team called me a 'poor guy'
Cleary someone in your team was anti Japan XD
Even in sim dick heads in planes ruin a good tank battle
That happens. Try to play with native vehicles since stuff like American m4 get people confused when fighting against Americans 😂 Like I wanted to shoot that m26 And the second guy probably was confused as that Panther in my video
One of the most beautiful intros I´ve ever witnessed. Perfection *italian chef kiss*
Thanks Dollar needed some real entertainment right now.😉
My sim moment: Italian Pershing, literally spawned alongside a friend in a Tiger II and I'm already being shot by "fellow" German tankers. I then get damaged and killed not even leaving the first block of the map. This is why I don't play sim often. People don't learn there's vehicle recognition and whatnot.
i alsmost shot a italian stuart as german and only didnt because of the strange markings on the side that identified it as italian
Anyone remembers the time when Simulator battles were no "event" but regularly available same as arcade/realistic battles? Todays sim battles suck since even lowtier has some OP post-ww2 vehicles in it and russian tanks of 6.0 up are nearly unpenetratable by germans of equal BR
I've been playing alot of sim recently and its actually not as bad as you make it seem I've played at all brs with Russian and German and I have no issue killing Russian tanks 6.0 and up, honestly might be a skill issue
Russian tank of br 6.0 to 7.0 nearly unpenetrable by german guns of equal BR? Skill issue?
Amazing that i can watch this Video on 4k. Love your Videos!
thx. you bring back my fun for this game
I have learned laughed and been inspired, I've been amazed surprised and laughed some more. You sir are a master at every level and i salute you. Bravo! Thank you so much!
I was about to go to sleep. Thank you Dollar for keeping me away from my nightmares ❤️
Sim was so relax to play, no more rush, no more ppl playing 1 tank, no more revenge kill
Especially on those massive maps 👌🏻
@@DOLLARplays rip to Vietnam, Maginot and other i miss his name. You think the same about the game than me and i like to see that, i'm not alone anymore

That was a great battle 👌🏻
OMG Dollar sooo nice, i love it, i love you. Thanks for the great content 😍😍😍😍😍😍
I love sim battles. A couple friends and i try to do a few matches every so often. We all put numbers on our tanks so we can recognize one another on the battlefield

What a nice team combination u got there brings back fresh good memories
Another day another professional montage ❤️❤️
Your editing is really good man
long awaited entertainment.... gracis DoLLaR
Heck yeah! My day is always better after a DOLLAR video
dude i never seen your vids before, shits good lol thanks for making
Hey Dollar, great video as always!! Also I don't know if you've noticed but the outro in the end says Thank you for wahtching instead of watching.
Oh crap. And I used the same text for multiple videos... thanks for letting me know;)
@@DOLLARplays Yeah I should have told you a little bit earlier perhaps 😅. But I just thought you would notice.
7:30 My man finally played Sunset Drive from Future Joust again, Dude i love that song thanks to you ! I remember when i heard it for the first time back when you just started, one of the best together with Anticipation ! Love ❤👋!
🤟🏻😎
Instant like for the Suck my Unit reference! My man had me choking on my food!
I'd love to see you play more simulator battles with realistic/custom gun sights. You played custom ones. If you would like to give some more realistic german ones a shot, there are the ones made by RideR2 which I can recommend. Still a blast to watch xD
14:20 and 14:50 is 1 reason why I always carry 2 rounds of HE - their armor was so thin the fuse wasn't being triggered on the explosive shells so your basically just firing solid shot, with less spalling.
Dude never get rid of the synth theme you’ve got. Absolutely love it and I need a 1 hour long version of the intro to listen to while I work. Do you mix your own music? Edit: I found the song lol. “Never or Right Now” for those that want it.
Followed a wild hare and jumoed into sim last week, its now my favorite mode
Excellent work sir, like always
I started from simulator battles. Imo after them regular mode looks like a wot. Also good idea to stick camera to commanders cupola.
your editing is amazing and extremely funny
Thanks for a new video. I've had a shitty day but you made me laugh
💪🏻
1:52 I love how you both technically missed
Sim aiming is something you need to get used to
taking a break from WT, but i simply love Dollar making WT content.. ofc also Escape from tarkov xD cheers man, keep up the great content !

I've been looking forward to this
Gooooood
@@DOLLARplays don't worry master betty sith lords are my specialty
I’d still be running SB if it were as it was before that event tab switch that killed simbattles when compared to what they were. It worked the same as RB from the version I played. Had a few pilots in ground sb, but not anything like we see in Realistic Battles… as pilots were not as easily able to provide real CAS in SB.
Me encanto ma optica que tienes!! Buen video
I used to play a lot of sim battles, but they added a lot of nations, and prototypes tanks, and everyone gets a sherman... My small brain finds it difficult to know who to shoot... I think they should make sim battles historically accurate, and avoid these rare tanks altogheter. Great work, btw Dollar... Big fan! Greetings from Brasil!
I think with rangefinder button you can identify who's friendly who's enemy. But yeah those tanks makes things more difficult
@@DOLLARplays Didn't know that... I guess It is time to give another try
Love from norway 👍😄 when you speak your accent sounds like my lithuanian friend.
Honestly if I want to play ground sim, I play Enlisted, on one of the custom modes, it let's me play as an actual tank with infantry support. I'd love to play a 100 player battle with 20 tanks, 20 recon trucks, and some planes, then everyone else is infantry. Or even combine enlisted and war thunder into one game like EvE and Dust514 did, but where the tanks can traverse the whole large map, but infantry can only spawn at objective battlefields. All planes and tanks have war thunder style handling, and all infantry handles like enlisted. Possibly taking a page from hell let loose and having each team have a captain that gives orders to the players to try to best position them to win the battle.
2:17 Hans enjoying in nature and moment of peace 👍👌
Everywhere you go, there're always CAS that'll chase you ... Anyway excellent video Dollars, keep going
I'm cursed
It's always the same......you play an open-top vehicle -> you get bombed by CAS, you play a heavy tank -> you get bombed by CAS
Your video are so great, it's like a movie!
amazing gameplay as always and now...play the *amx-13(hot)* (btw you can take ur time :) )
YOU'RE THE BEST! LOVE YA🔥
Sim is the best and my favorite mode. Baby tigor vs m18s ftw. and those pilots were on point bombing you! soo much harder with cockpit view and all the air feedback. loved the vid
Never underestimate how sweaty WT players can be. Probably has a $300 joystick setup just so he can dunk on sim players.
Hi , Mr.Dollar , what graphics settings do you use? P.s. Awesome videoBRO
Amazing edits!

Oh yes, Dollar playing my most loved german tank in WT :))))
it's not even a 1s in the vid and you put smile on my face
Nice videos man!
bro , such a nice vid! I'll probably grind japanese tech tree after the event , is that alright at least?
