Trying to WIN by only DIGGING HOLES - Strv 103C in War Thunder feat.

"I wish it would work" - right before discovering you can't dig sand. God damn it gaijin.

[@ExcavationNation]

So as someone that actually runs dozers and all sorts of machines with blades attached if theyd allow us to manually raise the height of the dozer blades to tune in the grading, id be the guy making beautiful roads on every map, my k/d would drop so fast but the roads would be amazing.

[@ideadlift20kg83]

Honestly they should just make the shovels dig maximum depth in one dig so you do not have to go back and forth over and over.

[@ExcavationNation]

@@ideadlift20kg83 nah because then you'd have a very deep hole, and it has to be somewhat "real" a tank doesn't have enough power to push 20 yard dirt pile or a enough width on the blade to sustain a good push so you'd just have a deep little hole in the front.

[@ideadlift20kg83]

@@ExcavationNation The deepest you can dig right now is barely enough to cover your lfp on most tanks sadly. It'd actually make shovel tanks useful IMO. Also realism has been thrown out the window of this game ages ago. APFSDS ricochet even though the likelyhood of that happening IRL is next to zero. APCR/APDS shattering even though APHE was the most unreliable round of WW2. Gaijin removing historically accurate armor thickness and horsepower from engines for balance reasons. .50 cal underperforming across the board for balance reasons. Radar lock not being able to properly lock helicopters for balance reasons. And so on. I think it is better to just make a neat feature useful and fun rather than implementing something that is just completely useless and shit. :(

[@tacomas9602]

The programming behind that for this game would be INSANE

[@michaelbarnard8529]

This tank would be a nightmare to fight against in a defensive position if they got all of the game physics it was built for right. It would pop up from full cover to all of a foot over its berm, fire, and then drop back out of sight. Oh, and the fence on the front would be disrupting any HEAT warheads aiming from the front.

[@Pax_R]

I will not lie in the 2s38 on those large maps with a single cap point, I would guard the cap point with my life, by digging elaborate holes that only show my turret and always keep me hull down in the event of a long range and short range engagement.

[@swissfreek]

The ItPsv is my emotional support tank. It's so cathartic when you're getting frustrated with the game. Like Odd said, just spawn it, hold W and LMB, profit. Absolutely the vehicle to use for those "kill X enemies in less than X seconds" or "destroy X vehicles while driving at least X km/h" challenges. Yes, it's completely broken, but I don't care. Go ahead and up-tier it, it'll just see more light tanks. Even as an SPAA I'd rather use this to fight Su-25s and Q5Cs than the defenseless SAM launchers.

[@Jassim_ww2_bricks]

​​@@paulwollenzein-zn1lh the Strv 103 IRL has a main magazine of 40 rounds and a secondary magazine of 10 rounds. Magasine used is selected from the Driver/Gunner or the TC/Driver station. There is no direct internal access to either magasine or the gun reloading mechanism. Smoke launchers are mounted on top along with a two tube 61mm illumination flare launcher.

[@PerfectTangent]

I think War Thunder should add infantry into the game. Not as playable entities, but as "equipment" that gets dropped off to capture objectives. That would allow for a slew of old APCs to be added, new functionality for the IFVs, new purpose for the bladed tanks, and new purpose for ARTY units. For example, an APC would drive to the objective and unload its infantry squad. That squad could only be dislodged by: a better/larger infantry unit being dropped off by the enemy, destruction of the objective "bunker" by multiple rounds of artillery fired indirectly, multiple rounds of large-caliber direct fire guns, aircraft bombs, flame-thrower equipped units, etc. Dozer tanks could also make fighting positions for infantry that would serve as fighting positions that would afford infantry the same benefits of the objective bunker. Just a thought; I want to see those old 1950s APCs trundling across the battlefields.

[@alfazagato1455]

Hard disagree. Even with how important infantry was to combined warfare, I don't think WarThunder needs the added complexity of infantry combat.

[@rileyxbell]

I think what you're looking for is Enlisted

[@PerfectTangent]

@@alfazagato1455 Non-playable. Just notionally on the battlefield as a mechanic to better support the purpose of vehicles already in the game and bring in vehicles that otherwise wouldn't "work". I don't mean that players should run around with a rifle or bazooka.

[@cassu6]

I've been thinking this especially for transport helis, but I don't think they would really fit WT or they would change the game so much that it might be a bit too wild. They could've done it back when WT wasn't as popular and financially successful. They really can't make such drastic changes anymore. Maybe try it as an event?

[@SplarcieRS]

@@PerfectTangent enlisted is that but you control 1 of many people in your squad. mortarmen, old infantry tanks, spawn trucks, essentially warthunder and squad had a baby and that's enlisted.

Leo needs to be nerfed or go to a higher br, because the shots it can survive are insane, turret rotation is crazy fast at this br, and it's as fast as a light tank, it's just unfathomable how this combination of features didn't seem disgusting to whoever tested this vehicle.

Any new updates on the s2000? Also ive been keeping track on tye difference in your videos since you made a video apologising about only wantingto upload perfect videos and the effects it had on you, i can sat, personally atleast, its so much betterwatching you die and come back to do better, like with the chinese 130mm thingmabob video, one match you died without doing much at the start then came back and dominated, its much more fun to watch, i used to get stresses and annoyed when i got into wt around when you started your channel, i kepttrying to play like you and phly and would loose it because i was still new, ivelong since lost that attitude but i believe showing fun games even if you die, actually especially when you die will promote less perfectionist gameplay and more for fun, plus i havent felt a lack of entertainment from your videos. Also also, youmade a video getting a nuke in the bt7m, i got one in the bt5 ( videos on my channel) think you can do it? Id love to see your best attempts or success!
