ENGINEERING A TANK SO ANNOYING THE ENEMY LEAVE - PT-76-57 in War Thunder

The PT-76-57 in War Thunder is a Light Tank with a 57mm autocannon that's got a laser range finder and a VERY fast reload. What makes the PT-76-57 special is that it fires an armor piercing high explosive. Where most autocannon tanks fire a solid projectile the PT only needs on good penetrating hit to cause colossal damage.
The 57mm autocannon also has INSANE zoom and when you're not zoomed in you have an excellent FOV. That makes it good for brawling as well as long range combat.
The mobility of the PT-76-57 is pretty good, too. The only thing letting it down is the poor armour, which isn't really an issue since everything else more than makes up for it.
Basically, imagine a ZSU-57-2 but you have one fully stabilized cannon! Insane! :)

[@meVladowski]

Funny how Gaijin keeps increasing it's BR to the point where the tanks it faces are less armored than the WWII to post-WWII super heavy tanks that it used to face.

[@Simon-tr9hv]

honestly I think it should either go up to 9.0 where armor is heavily angled and composite armor, or lower it to 7.3 to facing heavy armoured ww2 tanks, tho the laser range finder and stab need to be removed

[@N4CR5]

Yeah I had it since shekelpass and it got easier to kill stuff as they raised it LOL But I don't like over BR6 so hardly play it.

[@solace6633]

​@Simon-tr9hv its a modernisation program so removing stabiliser and laser ranger finder would be entirely idiotic.

[@StealthyShot]

It basically is a 2S38 give it APFSDS and move it up to 10.0

[@goliath3413]

its not the BR that is the problem. Its the rank. A br 8.0 at rank 5 (even used to be rank 4) simply nerfs how much you can grind with it. Its just nerfs the vehicles premium status.

[@bathdoge]

If 1 cannon of a ZSU-57 can destroy the whole server, only god can imagine how it is with 2...

It only gets 4 round clips though. The PT-76 is belt fed/auto loaded

[@hyneksmid3293]

@@noahross6563 and stabilized

[@nmspy]

@@noahross6563it’s not the loading time that’s the issue, it’s the lack of stabilizer and zoom quality of the scope that make this deadly, plus the ZSU-57 scope bi-sects it’s firing pattern, ie: scope in middle- cannons surrounding it. Makes for difficult shots close up

[@noahross6563]

thats a fair point. tbh ive never had a problem with it but i agree the lack of a stabilizer hampers its ability sometimes@@nmspy

[@augusthertz7163]

@@noahross6563I have ~350-400 kills with the ZSU-57-2. It’s a great sniper if you can find a good spot, but also does extremely well in urban maps where you can easily catch people off guard. Firing on the move only works when the target is extremely close due to the guns extreme instability, and the heavy recoil can make fast firing at range extremely inaccurate. Even though it’s can be shot fully automatic, it’s better to use it bolt action style to keep the guns on target. It gets a belt of APHE very similar to the PT-76-57, and with often two rounds penetrating at once you get plenty of post pen damage.

I don’t even mention of 14.5mm where lightly armoured tanks survive whole belts with one crew member is slightly yellow. Whereas in reality it breaks down houses/walls/concrete and armoured trucks (e.g. one from the banks)/APCs in no time.

you should try out the chinese 8.0 lineup, the premium ztz59 and the type 69 make a great duo, both stabilised t54's laser rangefinder. They both get 390mm heat as well, though the type 69 only gets a bad apfsds round instead of aphe. The type 69 is broken as hell, it's basically a t54 with a better engine 580hp instead of 520, and fully stabilised gun with 390mm heat and laser rangefinder, but the funny thing is, it still sits at 8.0 for some reason.
