60+ SMALLEST TANK VS MODERN TANKS OF DIFFERENT COUNTRIES - WAR THUNDER

[@giovannifoulmouth7205]

It's pretty obvious that many L3 players didn't know that you can't damage modern MBTs from a distance and the secret to defeating them is to get up right next to them so they can't shoot you.

[@Arash_Leopard]

No depression be like :

Forgot about the part where the modern tank drives way faster than the L3 so if you get under the gun they can just drive off

[@historychannel4023]

@@Arash_Leopard they have good enough depression but there has to be a hull man, only way to not have a blind spot is to not have a hull and the gun only 1cm above the ground

[@dragonoflocniroth]

I think the biggest mistake for the modern veichles was not continuing to move. They would have had a lower chance of getting surrounded and yes while there is a 15 min time limit if you play your cards correctly you could still get them all

[@spaceboi231]

I think the opposite. The fact that they kept moving made it difficult to retain cohesion against the horde. They should have tried finding one good, defensible position and covering each other's flanks. The leading cause of death was the tank getting so close that there was no way for the larger to tanks to kill them without a teammate.

[@domschra]

This Run & gun, theyre many - slow & have little cohesion, shoot a few, as soon as they get a wiff of whats going on move again and strike their rear, never let them know where youll attack from next, guerilla tactics 101

[@MommyKhaos]

@@domschra yeah except that's not how they could excel. They had 4 freaking MBTs, they should have picked a section of the map that allowed them to hull down and force the L3s to come at them in one direction and at limited amounts.

[@cookiecraze1310]

Depends on environment and spawns. If it's like the video with alot of turns and corners, then maybe. If the 12 year olds weren't all clumped up then definitely. Assuming 1 hit 1 kill (should be able to snap their necks with a single punch), the fighter could just stalk through the arena 1 tapping anyone they see before they can land a punch. If they group up, their chances are better since the fighter would get bogged down in bodies and they could claw at them and restrain their movement.

[@deaks25]

That final engagement looked like it was still quite tense for the MBTs. I'd be curious to see how a group of IFVs would get on, sure they have inferior armour, but their armament is much more suited to a swarm than the MBTs. The tactics in the 3rd round looked pretty clever from the MBTs, the Abrams holding down a position, presumably as the best armoured it was the Arne "I'm over here, come on kill me" with the Leclerc and T72 in a crossfire position. We didn't see much of the 4th MBT but if that was in a position to reinforce wherever needed then the MBTs were making best use of their numbers.

[@Furzkampfbomber]

2:57 Can't help but to feel a bit sad for this little L3, which so unwaveringly makes his way to the back of the big one and then... gets stopped and _repelled_ by a lamp post. Damn lamp posts, the true menace for every tank!

[@alexandermarken7639]

The biggest problem is the lack of collision mechanics. An L3 could be knocked out by a sideswipe lol. Also the 50 cal is the gun of choice. A T72 Terminator would be the best tank to use due to the rapid fire 30 mm and the grenade launchers. Failing that the Maus is the ultimate due to the L3 not even being able to damage anything at all.

[@Azzoz1]

An L3 have actually killed a Maus before through the main gun barrel. It was in a phlydaily video of Maus vs 60 L3 if i remember correctly.

[@reentrysfs6317]

The abrams is the best tank for taking out 60l3s It has 2 machine guns and a 5 sec reload for maximum damage. It also has good reverse capability good armor on the sides. Edit: the two machine guns are 50 cals so they can easily pen the l3.

[@stevenortiz9008]

Maybe not a tank,but Puma would be good too

[@ohnibboi3102]

@@gustavosanches3454 To be fair to the Abrams, its player put it in a position that allowed it to get a lot more flak from the L3's than the other tanks. It wasn't really the fault of the tank in this case. It was poor positioning, poor luck, or both.

[@maxmachac9756]

Incredible, the L3 used almost 0.003% of its power

[@ferretzim8694]

The biggest mistakes the modern vehicles made were in positioning and coordination. Instead of sitting in a wide open area with multiple lines of approach, they should find a spot where the L3s can't easily outflank them, preferably also with their back and sides covered by stuff. Or failing that, keep outrunning the L3s and keep them at a distance. Heck, if one MBT parked in a corner with their back and one of their sides covered, they could just have another park right next to them to act as several meters of armour.

[@nicolaspeigne1429]

The Moderna, the leopard 2k , mbt70 and the amx30s would be very good with their 20mm and 30mm added to their main cannon,

[@duolingobird8196]

I noticed in the last match the modern tanks weren't working together properly. If on the defensive they could have just let the tanks come to them and not have to deal with so many near a cap point. The more they took out the less they'd have to deal with. Pushing the spawn just ensured their loss.

I'd expect WW2 era heavies (KV-1, Churchull, Tiger 1) to be successfull in this challenge, unlike MBTs, these have 60+ mm of armor in every direction. And if this won't work, try soviet heavies from 1950s. IS-7 would be great, with it's insane armor and 14,2 mm machine gun. HE shell from it's main gun would be capable of taking out multiple L3s at once.

[@news_internationale2035]

Yeah, Tiger is tough to take out even with a 57mm.

[@andrewmencer916]

You know everything would be cool but also a nightmare to deal with in the game if they had armor degradation meaning after each shot if you shoot the same place multiple times with the gun that can't get through eventually because it's destroying the armor and that one spot it's able to get through it because each time you shot it removes more and more the armor I think that would be really cool to add but very frustrating cuz imagine having a vehicle that normally cannot be pinned and then having just a thousand rounds or more of the shot at that same as that spot and it eventually just getting through it it would be really cool but annoying and I think they'd be a pain in the ass for the developers to to model that in so maybe it's a good thing that that doesn't happen but it's kind of sad it doesn't really make it fully realistic

Before even adjusting for the fact that the L3s are mostly noobs vs veterans tank crew for the modern tanks....The game mechanics really work against the L3s. They repeatedly took out components (like the engine) that continued to work. Likewise, there would be ammo "cook offs" that didn't actually remove ammo from the more modern tanks. Not to mention that a "real" tank crew wouldn't burn alive for 45 seconds just to save fire extinguishers and continue calmly as normal.
