FOUR BARRELED DOOM SPAGHETTIWIND - M42 in War Thunder - OddBawZ

The Italian M42 in War Thunder got a HUGE BUFF in Direct Hit by upgrading the turret drive and adding a CONTINUOUS BELT!
Basically, it's an Italian Wirblewind but with unlimited ammo. With 64mm of penetration and 4 barrels able to just hold down the trigger... this thing is absolutely insane at destroying both planes AND tanks!
Out of all of the vehicles added or changed, this is one of the best ones so far!

I want to see the rare Sherman variant from South America where they replaced the normal turret with the M45 Quad 50 cal mount used on the M16 multiple gun motor carriage.

Finally, a excuse for moving the r3 to 5.7-6.0 and replacing it with this at 4.3 either that or this will get a higher repair cost than the sagittario

[@panzerkampfwagenvausfa5381]

IMO, I think the R3 T20 FA-HS does fine at 4.7, it will either way get uptiered to 5.3/5.7, and besides its not getting as spammed much anymore, and overall 90% of R3 players aren't that bright at all. IF somehow it goes to 5.7/6.0, I think it should get its stabilizer back. The M42 as much it's like a Whirbelwind, The mobility is worse, the crew is only 3, I think the armour is worse than the Whirbelwind, The only "op" things that it has are the rear facing smoke grenades, and of course the beltfeed 20mms. Moving it to 4.3 is a little overkill. Why should a somewhat worse variant of the Whirbelwind, be at a higher BR than the actual Whirbelwind? And putting a Sagittario repair cost on a 3.3 vehicle will get backlash.

@OddBawz it is a little fun and interesting that sound-thing / issue in War Thunder. I've noticed that both you and Phly uses sound extremely well to find and identify enemies.. I'm impressed that you can hear the little things that differenciate the different models of tanks and planes... I've been driving, operating and working with M113, M109 and Leos and when your are buttoned down you hear absolutely nothning from the outside, apart form shots fired from big caliber weapons. When the hatch is open the deeeeep sound of the leo engine muffles all other sounds, and it is impossible to hear anything... mostly in armoured vehicles you rely on "eyeball mk.1" :-) / your optics, and intel .... Keep the videos comming I love'em and your great sence of humor and laughter :-)

[@OddBawZ]

Yeah, I think that people forget that this is a game though? Imagine WT but you can only look out of a periscope from the tank and you couldn't hear anything but the hum of your own engine. Hardly anyone would play it. I mean, look at Simulator Battles! lmao

I hear what you're saying, it would be good to see the map get smaller options in the future, like Port Novo has a couple of different versions, however I do also massively welcome the introduction of bigger maps, as there's already enough small claustrophobic maps IMO, the gameplay on such maps gets real predictable after a while. Big maps just need big games, as many players as poss and maybe more spawns per person.
