The Most Ridiculous Tank In War Thunder

The Swedish ItPsV 90 is one of the most overpowered anti-air vehicles in War Thunder. It has a Leopard 2 chassis at 8.3, which makes it extremely fast. Combine this with lethal 35mm API-T, and I don't know how Gaijin haven't increased its battle rating yet.

[@blueshark7385]

My favourite part of this vehicle is that the designation is wrong. The ItPsV 90 is the Marksman turret fitted onto a T-55 hull, not a Leopard 2. Gaijin could have easily added that instead of this weird, overpowered, and difficult to balance "Leopard Marksman".

[@RyuakiraX]

They could also revert the name to the "ItPsV Leopard 2 Marksman", even if it's a way more clunky name.

[@PROQUIL]

You are correct, this is actually called ITPSV Leopard 2 Marksman

[@vophatechnicus]

Basically, because the german Gepard is nothing else - same guns mounted onto an older (Leopard 1) hull) - the Gepard is also OP? ;) I love it :) in RB als much as in AB :)

Tbf this and the Chieftain use the same British Marksman turret but the Finnish one is MUCH faster and better protected on the hull, basically objectively better.

You should try out the Challenger (A30) in the British tech-tree, it's 5.3 has a 17-pounder and wields two highly penning shells, Shot mk. 8 with 190mm of pen & Shot SV mk. 1 with 269mm of pen. It is also equipped with a highly speed-ready chassis and can go 52Km/hr as a Medium tank. This tank absolutely claps German and Soviet tanks alike

The Father Challenger. The only one to actually see more combat than its kids.

[@edwardking9359]

That thing is genuinely painful to use. Completely ineffective armour (Cromwell hull is literally from br 2.7), plus only solid shots, meaning you absolutely need to take out the gunner of an enemy tank with your first shot or you are dead. Almost never one shots tanks, too.

[@Inductus]

This thing had a lot of "teething pains" at the beginning, before Leopards. The FDF tried to mate the weapons system (a british turret swinging swiss guns) with a Polish-made T-55 hull. Surprisingly, there apparently were some electrical trouble. For a time, I thought the radar was French, but that probably would've been too much and made it impossible. The turrets were in storage for five years after the T-55 hulls were rendered obsolete. During that time, the fighting troops these were slated for had only the CV9030FIN for an anti-air gun system. Oh and since there's always a lot of hubbub about the name, it literally means "anti-aircraft tank 90", where the number is the year of procurement or IOC.
