Absolutely ANNIHILATING Tanks with the BIGGEST APHE in the Game - T30 in War Thunder

If you're looking to get some GE or a Premium, please use a creators link to support then and get a free decal. Here's mine: store.gaijin.n...
The T30 in War Thunder is a US Heavy Tank with a 155mm cannon that just so happens to fire the LARGEST APHE shell in the game. A shell that weighs 45kg and has 630g of TNT. This shell is pretty insane for damage but it does have its short comings. A 30 second reload minimum and due to its diameter, it has issues with volumetric it can be pretty frustrating to not get a one shot.
The T30 is no longer available to earn but it is available on the Marketplace as a massively inflated coupon. It's one of the rarest tanks around but they do pop in matches now and again.
We step away from the usual HE destruction of the M107 shell in favour of the T29 shell just to see what it's capable of and what it isn't.
Regardless, there aren't much more fun rounds like this in the game! :)

2:00 Odd , you should really play the Su-122-54, it has a rangefinder and a 400mm penetrating HEAT, it excels at long ranges where most opponents at your BR will struggle to penetrate your frontal armor, and you got 2 14.5mm's for anti air and anti m56 purposes. It also has very good optics, commander have access to x10 zoom.

[@BloopTube]

Ah yes, the anti goblin auxiliary weapons

[@numberonebacon]

Yeah the 122-54 is much under-appreciated and overlooked because the T-54s all sit in the same BR area. There really aren’t many complaints you can have that aren’t caused by being a casemate

[@Banane-007]

You should also try the apds when u play it, really fast and enough pen to go trough a king Tiger anywhere

Hey Odd! If you want a APHE shell with more explosive mass, the Japanese Ho-Ro has a 36kg APHE shell with over 2.5kg of explosive mass

Im gonna have to vote for the SU-122-54. If the reload being ~15 seconds and having a rangefinder weren't enough of a bonus, the coaxial and roof mounted 14.5s can eat cannon barrels faster than most SPAAs do in its BR range.

[@ImGoingSpace]

the best bit of the SU-122-54 is the fact it has a KPVT 14.5mm MG on the roof. the thing DELETES planes. it gets HEATFS, optical rangefinder and the normal 122mm goodies. its very strong but not the best armor.

[@vollp]

Now as a follow up: The best (not largest) APHE shell from the PLZ83-130. Love that thing

[@olehaveresch321]

The 2S3M has a bigger APHE. It has less pen at 177 I think, but it has more TNT-Equivalent

[@ottaviobasques]

The biggest APHE in terms of explosivr filler is the german 12.8 cm APCBC, but still, 640g of TNT is brutal.

[@Titan117-gq9jo]

One of my two misted wanted US vehicles, the other being the A-1H. But, since I can’t get access to the Gaijin market as an Xbox player I can’t even buy it even if I wanted to pay the big price

[@jordannutt2238]

this is one of those times id do an unrealistic battle change to this tank, just remove some reload time and maybe a tiny bit of reverse, the KV2 should receive the same treatment like a few others

[@samadams2203]

The low velocity and long reload on the T30 and T34 frustrate me. Luckily, the T29 exists!

[@randomblock1_]

About spawn protection... I'm pretty sure once you move a certain distance it disappears. Or maybe moving uses up protection time. Anyway, to use it longee, don't move at all. Useful to know when they're in your spawn, bring a fast reloader and get some kills before you inevitably die anyway.

Remember the good ol' days when this thing could UFP IS-6's and then gaijin realized it could kill their prized P2W, best selling Russian heavy tank at the time and they immediately "fixed" it?

[@alexandernovatney9159]

I would love to see the SU-122-54, if it's still a possibility! It gets the lowest BR version of the -D ballistic capped shell, if I remember correctly, as well as two 14.5mm MGs to fend off light attackers and planes! It's the only reason that I still play 6.7 Russia :)
