not sure if Ive seen a request for it yet, but I think the french SK-105A2 would be an interesting tank for a video. It has thermals, darts, and a laser rangefinder while still having an oscillating turret and is extremely capable for its br

[@wallachia4797]

Yea, no. The top-speed and acceleration are worse than 90% of its MBT counterparts, it has no reverse gear, isn't stabilised, has no gun depression and the suspension is absolutely awful. (8.7 light tank btw, same BR as the Object 279). Yea the gun's pretty okay, but it's of no use if the platform it's mounted on is incapable of getting to where it needs; other tanks at this BR or even lower in other techtrees have the same autoloader while on much better platforms with comparable main armaments. If we strictly talk about France, the Mars 15 is at a lower BR and better in most aspects; the reload is 1.5 seconds longer and lacks thermals, but the mobility is miles better, has a reverse gear and the suspension is stable. The AMX-10 is flat-out better in every aspect except the autoloader, while also at a lower BR.

[@alexisgauthier7665]

I think Gaijin messed with the HEAT shells because I've noticed they have been working nearly the same way as HE shells oddly enough. This includes ATGMs too. Secret overpressure addition to other fuze sensitive rounds?

[@corsairsofnarshaddaa]

I dunno, was playing my IKV 103 today and a Sherman ate 3 of its 105mm, 1.41kg TNT equivalent, HEATFS rounds (1 into the engine - understandable - , 2nd and 3rd to the side of the turret) before someone else finished it off.

[@filmandfirearms]

@@corsairsofnarshaddaa Overpressure doesn't really effect closed top vehicles in War Thunder. When talking about open top, then yeah, HEAT does seem to overpressure now.

The Type 62 is really neat idea, basicly a lighter version of your MBT for use in swampy/mountanious terrain. To bad it did not really work that well irl. Would be really nice if gajun could move it down to 6.3 to fit into a chinese lineup.

Yay, finally! I’ve wanted this tank to get some Spookston love for a long time! I got it back during the original event years ago and decided to bring it out some more in the last year after finding out how much it’s worth on the marketplace. I have REALLY enjoyed rediscovering it, and have even dropped a nuke with it. Tons of fun for light tank enthusiasts, being that it’s a fast little gremlin version of a T-54. Just gotta learn to work around the Wolverine-level turret traverse speed 🐌

5:40 that’s something I call as a “prediction”. If someone is capturing a point, you don’t have to put arty on that point since the enemy’s position is known. You should guess where other enemies will be hiding. Calling an arty can spot out his/hers position if the enemy is actually hiding there.

HEAT and EFP's both have a sweet spot in terms of size. It's all mathematics and stuff to get the perfect ratio for ionized metal, making a liquid jet through tank armor. Too small and the jet is a needle that won't do much. Too large and it doesn't form a jet and just smacks the side of the armor.
