Yeah, the British got shafted big time. Challenger's mobility is poor due to a weak powerpack for it's weight.

A tutorial for what? To teach players what? For tanks, everyone has to learn how to angle and to aim for weakspots. That's not something that should be reminded every tier. For planes, it's just climbing, energy, and aiming. If there was a tutorial for every tier, what would be taught?

I think a pretty large flaw in the test is the ammo choice per tank, especially at higher BR.

[@sithrulezz423]

Here is a suggestion that would be easy to implement and greatly increase gameplay without any unfair advantages: The game already has some trucks with troop transport capabilities (M3 GMC, BTR, etc), but they do not bring any soldiers. My idea is that troop transport trucks could carry the troops to friendly capture points, at which point they would be "dropped off" and (I will explain this with an example) let's say that a troop transport truck drops off 6 soldiers at a point. the "soldiers" at a point will be marked with a small number at the point either on the map, next to the point indicator, or will appear on screen while standing on the point. Now that the point has 6 soldiers at it, friendly tanks sitting on the point may use these as a bonus to crew replenishment. After a tank replenishes its crew using the soldiers the troop transport dropped off, the transport player will gain spawn points, lions, and research points based on a portion of the kills/assists made by the tank which is carrying the crew members that the truck dropped off originally, this reward being similar to rewards made for destroyed targets that you have scouted. It will be harder to crack down on enemy capture points, but only slightly, as this will require defenders to sit on the point, as well as the troops being very limited, and the fact that players on the team are being devoted to transport instead of fighting. Here are other ways you can further this: Troop transports could return all the way to spawn, and then reload troops in a manner similar to an airfield's reload mechanics Troop transports could transfer troops between capture points, particularly on maps where there is a "home" point and a mid point in order to help supply the front lines instead of having them sit uselessly in the rear. Troop transports could supply crew directly to allied tanks, similar to the "help with repairs" mechanic. Unarmed troop transports could have a soldier on either side with a controllable machine gun (like the commander uses on open topped tanks) Those ideas I listed are totally optional. Thank you for taking the time to read this!

"Leopard 2A5" and "very balanced" in the same sentence is a very weird thing to hear..

[@spasoldatin6258]

Funny how people complain about the 2A5 when literally the main advantage it has is that you have to, you know, aim for weakspots. Like with the vast majority of other tanks in the game. M18 players don't seem to whine nearly as much about fighting Panthers, even though they can't pen Panthers everywhere and Panthers can pen them everywhere. Wonder why that is 🤔Could it be that low/mid-tier Americans actually understand that they have to _play_ the game, not just point and click? Naahhhh, couldn't be.

It would be great a new episode of "THE RANGE OF SHOTS", in which they will compare the tanks of the countries added in the main branches of research. For example, compare MERKAVA (found in the US branch) Together with another one like TAM (in the German branch)

[@panzerdespenser9030]

It actually depends on the person using it. But the best Mbt in my opinion is the 2A5. The worst one is the Abrams

[@panzerdespenser9030]

And the reason why I think the Abrams is the worst is the fact it has many weaknesses (ex: the lower plate, neck, mantlet, cheek, ect) and the people that I see use it just scream "Abrams is best!" then they die in a few seconds after that. (The reason why I say the cheek is a weakness is because I shot through the M1A1's cheek with my Leopard 2k at close range)

[@steveharvey4205]

The abrams is a good vehicle but it's alot weaker than the newer mbt's.

[@michaelvigil5321]

Any tank from rank 3 and above can kill the M1, IPM1, and M1A1 reliably just think about something at its own BR. Anything can go through the turret cheek and 90% of the time they will ammo rack you making the whole point of a blow out panel redundant. When i played the T-64B as long as i saw the enemy first the Abrams had no chance of survival with a shot to the turret ring, it would kill the gunner, commander, engine, turret ring, and gun, sometimes it would just kill all 3 crew. The M1 has the worst gun in 10.0, the M1A1 has a decent gun but it loses the fast fire rate. If BRs get moved to 11.0 i don't think any Abrams should go up eventhough the M1A1 gets a better gun it's still the slowest Abrams with the slowest reload.

Rodrigo Outeiral Pérez if you have more speed, your bullets will go faster and penetrate more (and it’s obviously easier to go fast when vertical) And the armor on tanks are lighter on the top

[@Blandy086]

Leo 2A5 is the best tank... Then, WarThunder got hold of it... I have over 200 games in the Leo 2A5... My conclusion... It gets shot in the track - Its gun breach is knocked out It gets shot in the rear under the engine - Its gun breach is knocked out It has a round bounce off its armour - Its gun breach is knocked out An allied tank beside it gets hit - Its gun breach is knocked out An allied tank beside you shoots at an enemy tank - Its gun breach is knocked out You spawn in the match and drive forward - Its gun breach is knocked out Honestly... The tank has excellent armour, mobility and a great gun... But for fuck's sake WarThunder... Can you at least ATTEMPT to be a little bit realistic? The breach is not easily knocked out in a modern generation MBT... If it is, the tank is usually knocked out with it... Also... APFSDS... If it penetrates ANY armoured vehicle, the crew are wiped out due to the interior being superheated by the energy created by the impact... I am so sick of seeing Bradleys and BMP's getting hit by DM series APFSDS ammunition, yet, they are only crippled and are still able to turn their turret and kill you with an ATGM while you are reloading... What a joke!

The Point about the Leopard 2A5 in this Game is.. it was that good because the Best Players played the Germans at this time. Now these Tryhards play the Leclerc and make him to the best. Before these two it was the M1 Abrahams. Thing is Leo can be very good on big maps but as i remembered most of the time you play on tiny maps and fight on max 100meters. And there the Leo cant hide his Body and is easy to dissable without any magic. #Breachthunder This Game is dead anyway. Just an salty Community, hackers, spawncampers and the "Elite" switch from Meta Techtree to the next.
