A Tank So Mid Everybody Forgot About It | FV4202

[@Polarfuchs]

If I may seem a bit off, it's just because this was recorded during 31°C heat (room temperature) so I was extremely uncomfortable.

[@Cookedbycookies]

Still a good vid

[@Orodreth888]

Point a small fan at your chest while playing. Cools me down enough usually. Though 31° is pretty bad either way.

[@SexPun48]

Its a ridiculous summer in the northern hemisphere 😅

[@jurassicturtle3666]

One day Europeans will buy air conditioning 💀💀💀

[@RedVRCC]

wow, that's really hot... do you have AC or at least a fan you can point at your gaming area? I have the same issue, the only AC in my house is a wall unit in my bedroom and it pretty much never reaches my living room where my PC is set up so I had to get a fan.

[@zhuravlevivan4622]

Everybody forgets about British tanks, and fv4202 is the most forgotten among them

[@CharlesTheSleepyCat]

its so bad that it even became forgotten in wtm too

[@Laundry-Sauce]

Aside from the funny 🅱️ESH tonk

[@humperdinckoglethorpe4180]

Not even a mid tank imo, actually I reckon it’s pretty good

[@barronhelmutschnitzelnazi2188]

I like it. The Conway, on the other hand...way more forgotten and bad

[@pyroace5617]

I think the main reason is the fv4202 is forgotten is because the Centurion Action X exists

[@The_Boastful]

I still love this tank even though I haven't played it in ages. This was the first tank I ever got with "true" APDS. And I remember it being the thing that showed me both the potential power, and the potential failure, of the type. I still remember the first kill I got with it. SU-100 with his back to me. Meant to hit him in the back of the casemate. The shot deviated low, went through his engine completely, and came out the other side into the crew compartment with enough spall to immediately crew wipe him (I've always assumed it managed to use the engine itself to generate more spall than usual as it punched through it). Up until that point I had only ever seen engines eat rounds before, so this experience had me wide eyed. Then the very next shot hit a T-44 dead center of the crew compartment under the turret through the side. Passed completely through, perfectly between the turret crews legs, and went out the other side. Didn't touch a damn thing, and didn't even generate any spall. **The duality of APDS**

[@pdr_2703]

APDS is as consistent as my studying schedule

[@Simon-tr9hv]

The problem is people get so scared of its extremely angled ufp even though its the weakwest point, they try to shoot turret cheeks and the flat half ring hull below the gun, honestly would be a pretty decent vehicle if it have reverse speed

[@kimjanek646]

No one plays it so no one knows how to kill it 😄

When i played 2018 in my tiger 2 (h) i got killed every round from 285mm apds from these stabilised mfs

[@n1co2017]

not me who has ben playing the shit out of this thing for the past 4 hours... it actually does pretty well since nobody knows how to deal with it because like 60% of them have never seen this thing before fun fact the front of this thing's turret is perfectly shaped for the round "eagle eye" decal if you have it, would recommend it looks great on there

[@vermillion.__-_.]

this tank is a test bed for the driving position of a Chieftain

[@Haaton-of-the-Basement]

I use to play it everyday at 7.0 (along with the Tortoise) even after That snail nerfed APDS so hard even if my shell got shattered alot at the time of the nerf i still played it. Until it got up to 7.3 i went back to 5.3.

[@aceca5147]

I do enjoy this tank, I'd recommend using the stock AP round and having the APDS for hard targets only

[@user-sg9ql8nk1u]

honestly playing world of tank alot give me the impression that this tank should be pretty fast like im talking non-british level of fast... this vid crashed every single of my expectation about this thing lmfao

[@adelreyes6954]

Man I have only seen two of your vids, but really enjoyed. You and DollarPlays (Betsy) are my favorite War Thunder conntent creators.

[@YouInDaWaeMF]

I play it as a main tank atm. It’s quite good

[@ewald3182]

I remember when this thing and the Centurion Mk.3 were 6.3 (Solid shot SUCKED back then so it made sense) but for a good while - people struggled against it due to the stablizer, pen, and that turret face being so strong.

[@vdv_snp5414]

the Centurion mk.3 was actually at 6.7 and it was good (for a british tank), the 0.4 difference was bcyou had no APDS on the FV

[@ewald3182]

@@vdv_snp5414 It was, yes when it first came out. But then it was taken down to 6.3 kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2Takq14mK1nnpo

[@ewald3182]

[@barronhelmutschnitzelnazi2188]

Stablizer wasn't a thing when these vehicles came out. They went straight to like 7.3+ after the stablizer feature was introduced

[@Dewey_the_25U]

I would always recommend the normal AP for Light tanks just because the spall is so bad with the APDS.

[@joelnord4699]

FV4202 is wonderful you just gotta play hull down and rely on your turret armor and rangefinder

[@tylertheguy4749]

I just recently started down the brit line. I have premiums to get a taste of the nation, but i’m at 7.3 now on brit. Surprisingly troll armor for those that have it, and great rounds for the br.

[@Riotlight]

One of my most played tanks. Epic vehicle. ❤

[@lofis07a]

Its popular in squadron realistic battles as it got exceptional armor and a stabiliser

[@asiftalpur3758]

I remember playing this tank in a battle where i ran out of ammo and did really good but that match spaded it so I never used it again

[@the8bitclicker_193]

i remember when this was 6.7 and this was an annoying tank to fight against at 5.7 because of its turret armor same with the Centurions and the Vickers Mk 1, the Centurions and FV4202s were decent threats to fight against

[@robertharris6092]

i love the fv4202 so much

[@pyarroz-hi3hw]

I like it a lot, I always take it out before the Centurion to get to the battle first, which is its only problem, with the FV4202 you are always late XD

[@alexturnbackthearmy1907]

I mean...so is every british tank.

[@adamm2943]

imagine what if it had PROPER engine and not an random put into it because it was prototype, and was a little lower in br

[@M65V19]

This tanks is better than Centurion in every aspect except reverse speed.

[@cc-bk3tx]

Maybe the mk 3 but the mk 10 and caernarvon are miles better

[@joshuasimpington1700]

This thing used to be 6.3. Absolute disgusting back then.

huge amounts of spall i love it

[@darkstormww7479]

so Polar, I dont think you realise that 'squad marks' only show on the map for the guy you're in a squad with (By default the green tank), if you want to mark someone use squad mark then hold alt and tag him on the map normally (The squad marker makes your mark more accurate)

[@Polarfuchs]

I know. I'm using the marker mostly for myself to keep track of enemies.

[@darkstormww7479]

@@Polarfuchs oh ok it just seems like at the start you marked that M48 for the T34. (Based off your speech) (Dunno if I got the vehicles right I got a bad memory)

It's a Cheiftain with no armor and a worse gun. Literally the two things the Chieftain is decent at. No wonder it's always been a meme

[@TimsEditingLab]

This is prob the tank that normal people will think about when you say tank (the shape etc) and polarfuchs I have question, so imagin that I (again) grinned to Germany rank 3/4 but i find myself in a lot of uptiers, should i change my line-up tech tree (ni wanna try Americans and Brit’s) or just live with it ( you made my day by reading my comments)

[@amogusimpostor7961]

I am not him, but I have almost 2k hours in this game, and I really advise you - don't force yourself to play this game if it is frustrating for you, bro. Play whatever ranks/br brackets which are actually enjoyable to play for you.

[@TimsEditingLab]

Well thats the thing i want to play 6.7 but ik only at 6.0 but still thanks cause ill play a bit of german 4.7 and Germany 5.7

[@Polarfuchs]

You will encounter uptiers in most games at most BRs so just play what you feel

[@alexturnbackthearmy1907]

6.7 is hell, good luck getting anywhere with BMP`s and MBT`s on every corner. But its really good when you are not uptired (and not meet american light cancer of m56 and other rat tanks).

[@Retto420]

Im soon to unlock this thing cause I thought it was gonna be a good idea to play Britain. WITH NO PREMIUN so my pain is atleast twenty four times worse. Honestly a Stab at 7.7 doens't sound that bad considering that most of the things you see here doens't have it, perhaps these other things has a better reload time... Im looking at you Somua... but you have an advantage for having a stabilized barrel.

In terms of Design it's actually looks cool btw but everyone just ignore British tech tree unless it was as a top tier one But the Fv4202, no mount top mg, no explosive filler ammo, poor mobility, what could possibly wrong with

Also hull made of paper, that anyone can punch trough.

If you aimed for the side or lower hull on the t26 it would have been dead so much sooner :(

Not necessarily. Had these situations a lot, and American heavies always find a way to either instantly shatter the shell or suffer no damage when penned, so I just went for the shot that I knew already worked.
