Fun fact, the Polsten is an Oerlikon, with a design adapted by Polish engineers who fled to England to be cheaper to manufacture. It was already a very simple design so that's a fairly impressive accomplishment.
@Bialy_12 жыл бұрын
Ekhm, they reduced number of parts from 250 parts to 119 parts without sacrificing the effectiveness or the reliability of the cannon. I have no idea how you ended up with conclusion that this was a very simple design... I would say that Polish self-repeating rifle Kbsp wz.38M was a simple design as it was using ten times less parts.

The Skinks is the only vehicle in game that uses the Polsten 20mm cannons. Edit: Apparently the Polsten is a Polish design, made after many engineers and such escaped to England after Germany invaded. It shares much with the Oerlikon 20mm guns, but uses fewer parts while being just as effective. It was used to substitute the Oerlikon 20mms where needed, and infact was used on some of the Cromwell/Centaur AA vehicles but most often in multi gun mounts on towed trailers. Apparently it was also in limited fashion, mounted on some Briths LVT's and as a rooftop side mounted gun on early models of the Centurions.

I think the reason the skink "overheats" so much quicker than the ostwind (though the ostwind definately has way too much time before overheating) is because of its closed turret, as the fumes from firing the 4 autocannons inside the turret would become dangerous for the crew if you werent to wait for them to vent out for a little bit

You mean the part around 13:00 ? He was about to say that you have to let the aircraft come closer. Most people shoot while the aircraft are miles away, they won´t ever hit shit and the Aircraft will surely stay away. I play a shitton of CAS.. and if a dude shoots at me from like 2km away, I have a good laugh and stay away and as soon as he shoots somewhere else I yoink him, since his constant firing let me know his position at all times. So first, move out of the spawn and away from your AA spamming noob teammates. Second, get into a good position like close to a capture point but still in good cover from tanks Third, get patient and try to wait til the aircraft comes as close as possible and preferably flies as straight as possible~ And general rule even I have to remind myself of after a couple thousands of hours in WT: If you don´t hit there is a 99% chance you are not leading enough. BONUS for the meme bois: If you want an aircraft to come closer and you for certain know that dude is thirsty for a ground unit kill, turn your turret away from him, preferably somewhere a teammate of his is flying. Use free look camera to keep track of him and shoot just into the void away from him while saying "Ohh I am such a weak little noob anti air, I can´t hit anything I am sooo defenseless" (trust me this helps and makes your buddies in Discord cry in laughter if you get the kill) then turn the turret once he takes the bait and just annihilate him.

The Polsten was a Polish development of the 20 mm Oerlikon gun. The Polsten was designed to be simpler and much cheaper to build than the Oerlikon, without reducing effectiveness. The Polsten machine gun has been designed primarily to fulfill an anti-aircraft role against low flying aircraft and pilotless planes. The Polsten was also mounted on British LVTs and on early models of the Centurion tankk, not coaxially with the main gun but in an independent mount on the left hand side of the turret.

The flag in game that is on the Skink is the old Canadian flag, not too widely recognized much today. Also it entered the game at 4.7, which I thought was perfect since I mainly run 4.7, like my 2 firefly's, churchill, Spitfire mk9c, and a Crusader III and or the SARC 6pndr, since both are good lights, and both have decent guns even when brought up to 4.7... now that the SKink is up at 5.0 it sort of ruined my lineup a bit, it was perfect at 4.7 and really wish it would be moved back down to 4.7, and move that massive anti air truck down to 4.3 at the vary least.

I don't think that the disparity in AP performance between the Oerlikon/Polsten and the German 20mms is that much overstated. The Germans had HVAP (Tungsten core) for their cannons, the O/P did not. However, the differences in effective range are way out of line. As well, ACs firing HVAP should have a very short overheat period, not as a balancing mechanic, but they were much higher pressure cartridges, which were also quite rare.

TBH the dilemma people have bringing an AA's inability to kill tanks warranting a lower BR is pretty retarded to me. It resulted in shit like the whole R3 situation. An AA's ability should 90% be based on its Anti-Air ability. If its good at killing tanks it should be a bonus unless its a MAJOR deal. (twin 57mm russian AA is used as a tank destroyer 99% of the time) only then should it be considered in its BR

@@fire_drake12.arc.24 actually not thinking that any AA under a twin 40mm should be actively hunting tanks but rather support vehicles (AAs and open crew field guns) it would maybe encourage some people to move about a bit other than to just sit at the spawn areas waiting for planes to spawn. My issue with AAs is your a man down with nothing to do if planes don't spawn when you could also (based on skill and sneakiness ) at least be de-capping points or track shooting/engine shoot enemy vehicles to assist the team.

@@ViralMag_Ravager it would help if SPAA with small guns had scouting. Like ones that are less capable of tank hunting. I have a Major idea for a system to mitigate or lessen spawn camping (both kinds) so it's hard to say this but another shitty solution would be to make AA have a timer before they are forced to J out so they HAVE to eventually leave spawn. You can sit in spawn for a minute but then a timer starts telling you that you MUST leave spawn. But there's a ton of flaws with that alone.

I wish the skink was back to 4.7
@sergarlantyrell78472 жыл бұрын
Forget the Ostwind, why is the Wirblewind still 3.7, when the Skink is 5.0? The Wirblewind is even more effective vs both planes and other vehicles & wouldn't have struggled to down a fighter like the Skink did. The only advantage of the Skink is it's slightly tougher vs machinegun fire.

It was a great addition to the 4.7 lineup with the firefly and Churchill. A real shame it’s gone up. Probably won’t be played by me. I don’t usually play 5.0 above (love 6.7 to 8.3) as I like taking out full line ups. I should add I don’t like playing the WW2 tanks with modern vehicles like concept and Ystervark although I do like them (play them at 6.0 with the MK1 cent) just personal preference, the skink kind of fit for me.

No-thinks in AA's always make me chuckle.. firing at aircraft 5km away. getting tunnel visioned and making noise so they cant hear enemy vehicles etc. absolutely no grey matter applied the situation
