LOW TIER "BALANCED" TIER (War Thunder)

Some you guys keep asking how to get my decal. You have to buy something from gaijin store(cam be 150GE) with my special link. Also you will get 3% discount(Not much, but I guess it's better than nothing) ;) store.gaijin.net/catalog.php?category=WarThunder&partner=DOLLARplays&partner_val=jft18lc5

It has impressive penetration figures considering it's a 37mm gun punching through the same amount of armor as the 75mm M3 used in the Sherman, albeit with significantly less post-penetration damage.

[@robertharris6092]

The power of APDS.

[@anultragreatsword926]

It's not just a 37mm gun, it's a sub caliber shot from a 37mm gun, meaning the actual projectile sans the sabot is even smaller. Making it even more impressive.

[@Acetilcystein]

Chinese tech tree also has a funny vehicle - M8 car. .50 cal shoots basically through every low tier tank, so you sometimes can have 9 to 10 kills with this thing.

[@bananabatsy3708]

You and OddBawz both demonstrating the broken tanks in Swedish tree. I love it. Do one with the Lvtgbt SPAA that sits at 2.7. That thing shreds everything.

[@max___87]

Dollar i have a little tip for Strv m/31, when playing CQC face your rear to the enemies if u get shot your engine and trans will absorb most of the damage and the only way to kill your tank will be from turret penentrations. also Strv m/31 reverse speed is 20 km/h

[@DOLLARplays]

Oh yeah this is known tactic , works well on IS tanks also ;)

[@gamesordames9480]

I also do this with Sherman tanks if I get caught in a bad situation and they don't shoot my turret first.

“I haven’t played this map in a long time. Well, it was actually on my ban list” got me laughter))

[@DOLLARplays]

😂 because that map is way too small for anything above low tier, and I was getting it alot

[@t2force212]

The thing that makes low tier so balanced is that the armour is thin all round. This means that there are only a handful of tanks that struggle to pen and kill reliably and even they do alright if not uptiered

[@HellbirdIV]

The insane penetration values aren't as unbalanced as they might seem due to the simple fact that.. well, it's BR 1.0, what's the point of 100mm of pen when the heaviest armour you're likely to run into is less than half of that? APHE ends up being more effective against most targets because it's more likely to do critical or fatal damage and can penetrate most things you run into just fine. And the APDS has great range... if RNG favours you. No fin-stabilizing on these boys, so it's a bit like sniping with a musket. Not to say Swedish tank tree isn't terrific, because it is, except for a few spots higher up in the BR that lacks a full lineup. My favorite tree alongside Italian Derp and French s t r o n k.

[@einar8019]

bruh sweden lacks br everywhere

[@DOLLARplays]

The thing is you can easily snipe and pen people from any range at low br while they have to get better at aiming, and it's not about one-shoting, but to disable the opponent. If you angle theres alway a chance to bounce low tier APHE while with APDS it's a different story. French has pretty good armour at that br, you can bounce a lot with them, but not APDS rounds.

[@jonathanallen3688]

Apds is extremely accurate at range. Meaning ppl that say started in the big three then come to Sweden get a round that can reliably and easily hit targets farther than actual newbies will be able to. Not to mention most tanks at this br are cramped as hell and APDS is generally a one tap anyway.

[@theongothic182]

[@loganwalker8537]

Its a plain sabot, no fins

[@bzorf_tng]

The 3,7 cm slpprj m/49 can penetrate T-34 and M4 because it's in fact a post war round (1949 as it's name says) so it's designed to do so. And yes, post war APDS. At 1.0.

[@jonathanallen3688]

@@bzorf_tng I mean not really worse than Germany getting late war HVAP for their 20mm at 1.0.

[@bzorf_tng]

@@jonathanallen3688 bullshit. As the name suggests, the 20mm Pzgr 40 was designed and built in 1940. Also, towards the end of the war in 1944, German tungsten stocks were running out and, being the tungsten the key component of the Pzgr 40, they began to use steel in its place with a much lower penetration power. So it can't possibly be a late war bullet. Also at 1.0 48mm of penetration are nothing special, considering that the Japanese and Italians also have 48mm of penetration on their 20mm guns, while the British and Swedes have 42mm.

I used to play War Thunder and shooting a Sherman 105mm with a swedish APDS rounds to the front hull at about 200m. Later in the other match, I am top of the team playing this low tier swedish high penetrating tank and everyone thought I was hacking because of my ULQ graphic shooting from 500m to 1200m long range. That's the good old days in the very bad year of 2019 to 2020.

That was a lot of fun to watch. Maybe someday the Snail will actually give us better looking recoilless rifle back blast. It just looks so anemic currently.

The back blast seemed more violent than that from the muzzle. Maybe have the guy who’s time is wasted animating canopies (that should be frigging closed before a jet even starts down the damn runway) spend a week tweaking the effect?
