A huge thank you to David Fletcher for the inspiration for this series and for your overwhelming dry humour.
This is the finale of Playing the Worst Tanks According to Tank Jesus where I took the ARL-44 to a battle rating it should never see in an attempt to take out Germany's most infamous Heavy Tank, the King Tiger.
Due to matchmaking issues, the RNG of opponents and just bad luck. This last episode seen me sink 5 months of my time and a good chunk of my life to finish.
I hope you enjoy it! :)

can you make a video on the low tier arl-44 aka the good one. the 90mm one was a lot better but someone decided to find info on the gun depression being only 5 degrees.

I played this tank so many times at 7.0 and so many people are scared to peek it But now they know it has no armor they're gonna rekt me

[@Real_Claudy_Focan]

ARL used to have a "double" armor (box sides) but it tricked GJ's physics and they removed it to a simple plating. This tank used to eat HEAT and APHE from the sides (when it was introduced)

[@Da_man-lb7wn]

I guess it may be a terrible tank in real life, but in war thunder, I absolutely love this thing. You can front plate pretty much anything, and most of the time, it’s a one shot. Love the vehicle overall, nice to see that you’re doing it! Edit: now that you’ve made this video, everyone will know it’s weakness… yay…

[@katqcentertainment8754]

[@BubbleBelly]

A masterclass series would be really cool. I love your series content, so I'm down for whatever you throw out. Controversial I'm sure, but I loved playing the ARL. I think when it's playing at its BR it can do really well. I found the gun to be quite easy to use, and I felt like I could pen almost anything

[@arthurbousquet6838]

Not controversial at all, it IS a good tank (in game at least) ;)

[@terachad7459]

On my France grind the ARL-44 I firstly thought it would be garbage, but it performed surprisingly well, very fun tank

You ain’t the only one

[@Liam-hk7sc]

@@Nuttogen yeah i also enjoy the arl 44

[@cat-nl4sv]

i like to play the ARL-44 (ACL-1) because thats the 3.7 version and it has 125 mm of pen aswell as roughly 90mm of effective frontal armor, and the turret sides have 60 instead of 30. (edit: you can also angle somewhat because its 50mm on the side at 3.7 which isnt alot especially flat but, you can still angle)

[@N4CR5]

ACL-1 is the true ARL-44 glad to see someone else realises it. I put bright, multicoloured decals on the UFP lmao, players shoot like flies to poop.

[@liamboyle9199]

Now that is a hidden gem!
