FRENCH 40MM TECHNICAL

[@g3arjammer837]

It’s such a derpy vehicle and that’s what makes it so glorious.

[@JeffCobalt]

The Français never décevoir in that category….

[@nicolaspeigne1429]

It's a replacement barrel, and in Warthunder it lacks 2 crew members, 2 loaders.

[@DpointWarThunder]

It's not. It's a ballast used in between the rear tires in case it gets stuck in mud or mushy terrain

[@matman7691]

I was thinking a rolled up camo net. It is a little small though.

[@jonhg92]

The bofors 40mm were known to have replacement barrels.

Mmmmm neither

[@SpaceAp3]

Started playing french tanks, they're tons of fun. This thing still slaps at 5.7 for some reason.

[@unoriginalhazard]

Same, got the french tree too 6.7 in just a day, The ARL-44 slaps something fierce.

[@gabrielguidry9742]

I find myself dragging low tier vehicles into much higher BRs just because the BR spread is kind of all over with the French tech tree. I've been pleasantly surprised with just how effective some of them remain at much higher BRs. The AMD 35 was still slapping up to 2.7 and AMX13 FL11 was still slapping up to 5.7. It's been fun!

[@simsportif]

try using the 3.7 AMX FL11 in 11.0 matches, you'll be pleasantly surprised. if you can surprise any M1 they're usually a 1kill shot by aiming at the back of the turret, free god mode is always good.

[@misterragnar2521]

7.0 - 7.7 is pain. Not the bread type.

[@arthurbousquet6838]

No, but it’s hard to play them. Amx 13-90, Char 25t, amx 50/lorr 40T can kick ass used well

Heya Phly, can you try out the Air Defense Anti Tank System (ADATS) as a Brawler? Its Full Auto Missile system and Meme armor provide the most AIDS inducing combo in the game. (Day 13)

WTF are you talking about my guy?

[@surkhabsingh5856]

Dicker max are free kills if you have HE shells. It just needs to touch the hull

[@jdzzl]

The problem is this. It is horifically slow and it doesn't have that good of a reload. It is not much different than the sturer emil. Has a 122 and can pen literally anything except the speed of the tank and reload ruins it.

[@animusvox1652]

20:30 - just start to dive from a little bit higher, 800-1000 meters, no less. The thing is not about shooting all the way, but aiming with patience, waiting a sec for plane to stabilize, and then giving 2-3 short but precisive bursts from 500m and down to the exit point.

The background story behind this vehicle: this vehicle was Jaćues poor try to be a part of the war. Even though he was told to stay prepared to be in the reserve line with his big Truck, he couldn't resist and grabbed the leftover AA gun next to the storage hangar and slapped it onto the truck. Come on François, hop in real quick! Etienne what are you waiting for? Take your seat on the big baguette at the back. We goin' to war today.
