The Worst Super Heavy Tank (ft.

Decal link: tinyurl.com/42...
The British Tortoise is one of the few monstrous tanks in War Thunder. It's also probably the worst. It has a decent top reverse speed, but its obvious weakspots and lackluster cannon make it a pain to use.

Please do the Zis-30 its one of the best rat tanks and has a 57mm gun at 2.3.

[@dragonace119]

It is one of the rattiest tanks. Its small, fast, turns on a dime, and its APHE is just memey especially at its tier.

[@macdonaldakanu369]

I absolutely lov that tank (currently at 184battles/419ground and 1 air kill) . The gun makes up for all it's weakness... Nothing feels better than vaporizing a M4 sherman(105) from the front😅😅

[@Aurora-pi6jr]

The SU-57 is just as good at 2.3 it's one of my favorite rat premiums

[@r.ndomperson]

i personally prefer the LVT(A)(4) ZiS, has more speed and just looks cooler plus isnt as "sweaty" as the ZiS-30

[@niycrambo5456]

You should really play the "Turan I" at (2.3 or 2.7, I don't remember). it's APHE basically worse solid shot that has like 15g of explosive filler.

[@o-hogameplay185]

that is similar to german 37/50/75mm filler btw

[@type-10]

It's 2.3. 17 grams of explosives filler in the APHE and a whopping 67 grams in the HE, but it comes with a reverse speed of 43 km/h

[@Cyanfox3006]

Yes. And adequate turret rotation

[@TwT6]

The think that I really like about Hungarian vehicles it’s that has really good transmisión

[@no-legjohnny3691]

If you used the 40mm 2pdr guns from the early British tanks, I think the Turan I will be a very familiar experience to you. Although the Solid Shot is a bit less potent. Overall, for a 2.3 it's not that bad, especially when compared to other Italian tech tree vehicles of that BR.

[@cowmeatius7151]

The tort isn't that bad, you just gotta angle the hull, which is ironic in a super heavy breakthrough tank. Also, recently (maybe due to volumetric) the commanders copula is less of a weak spot, with his head and the machine guns absorbing most of aphe shells, making it much more "viable" Edit: 2 hours after posting this is a saw a tortoise in a full upriver go on an 8 player kill streak on cargo port. Make of that what you will

[@DominicDarrell]

It also excels at range. I find it's damn near impossible to pen around 1km+ ranges. Downside to that style of play is you usually just get the Adamant award and a few assists lol

[@themistaken9571]

Funny part of tort is that it can be quite easily penned by a long 88 or similar gun at the same BR in a helluva lot of the frontal area. If the enemy has ever looked at tortoise in analysis you're almost always losing.

[@deeznoots6241]

Yeah before volumetric it was so fucking annoying having everybody shoot your mg cupola to slowly kill you, I got in the habit of hiding the cupola behind a wall as I corner camped.

[@lightningbow1282]

You should play the Carro Armato M Celere Sahariano. (2.7) Its a medium tank prototype created by Italy during World War II to match the speed and firepower of British cruiser tanks seen by Italian forces during the North African campaign, which it does well with a forward/back speed of 61 / 5 km/h. Its armor's not amazing but its decent for the BR. Its gun is pretty nice, a 47 mm 47/40 mod.38 cannon with a reload speed of 5.2 seconds, and the Granata Perforante mod.39 (APBC) one shots most pens it gets. Its appearance is pretty comical it looks a pancake should be pretty easy to make a meme out of. Hope you see my comment and take it into consideration. Thanks for reading (DAY: 3)

[@arya31ful]

[@pavelslama5543]

It would have been fine, if Gajin actually allowed people to fight at more than 100 meters distance on most maps...

[@Pat_Playz]

That meme at the start is so true, I mained Britain for a while and in of my first games using the tortoise, I actually got excited over having a decent reverse speed

[@AttacMage]

[@adriencoudert1083]

I wanted to ask you to play either the Type 61 or the ST-A3 Also it is always nice to see you playing with Oddbawz

In light of British Super Heavies, can you play the Conqueror? It’s a 7.7 Heavy tank with 120mm APDS and a stabiliser

[@JustAnotherRandomPersonOnline]

Black Prince is also pretty good from my experience. Just... a little slow.

[@r.ndomperson]

​@@JustAnotherRandomPersonOnlinea "little" is quite a big understatement lmao

[@cookiecraze1310]

It's pretty much the only 7.7 tank which can reliably bounce a lot of enemies' rounds. + it looks cool.

[@jaythemaidtokill84]

Tort my beloved, I cannot express my joy to see you playing this Spookston, not to mention with Odd! The editing is superb as always and hearing the two of you chat is super enjoyable. I'm well aware that playing it is more than exhausting because of the constant uptiers, especially now that the Vidar is in game and has more than enough tools to instantly kill you with a commander gun shot, so thank you for your sacrifice ^^

[@themistaken9571]

The vidar and other aphe can basically just click on it's front and it'll probably die. The usual spot is anywhere near the gun as it will go through the transmission cover thing I find

[@bubby9175]

It’s good to see you and odd playing again.

[@micahmurphy4546]

I was in a match with one recently and I was genuinely shocked to see it move faster backwards than forwards. I just was not expecting it

[@simonlamoureux5440]

Best explanation for the tortoise, is that it's Noob-bait. Noobs don't know how to deal with it, so it gets a funnily high BR while anyone with experience even in a full downtier can kill it without it having much of a chance to fight back. Same thing as the Japanese Zeros, imagine having a plane that even in a full downtier has a worse top speed and energy gain than the slowest plane you can face, but turns really well. Anyone who has basic energy fighting experience will never be in danger and will kill it much like the tortoise.

[@salmonfish4038]

The character arc of spookston getting killed by CAS constantly, to him becoming some how a CAS bomb sponge, to him using enemy CAS against themselves is beautiful

[@unimportanthandler]

Another collab, Dankeschön Spookston ❤

[@alexx8708]

those conversations gave me the same feeling that i have when i play with some guys that i don't know very well.. like: when you enjoy a game with someone but you miss that confidence that make it a little bit awkward/embarrassing to talk with have you ever get those situations or it's just me 😅 "almost friends " :')

[@luisurdiales3091]

There's a 6.7 britain lineup between this, the G6, the Rattel 20 and the now up-BR'd Cent Mk.2 Was trying it a little bit and altho I love doing CAS with the Griffon Spitfire, the constant uptiers against soviet and american heavies are hell. This thing in particular feels really hard to play and you either reach the point in the frontline your team has already been wiped or they have advanced so you gotta keep advancing at 15 km/h loojing for something to shoot.

[@veganvacuum2751]

Please play the T95. Its very fast and good for flanking so it should suit your playstyle well. Also after the BR changes its actually decent as long as you dont get 8.0.

[@vorpalmachine]

T95 "very fast" I applaud you sir, but I dont think he'll believe you

I love how far the world was in tank development when this was made, but the British still decided to make pretty much a giant cube with a bunch of armour

[@ZETH_27]

Which - as opposed to contemporary super heavy tanks - for once had the powerplant to actually propel itself reliably.

[@aiedenoldstien9751]

I mean the French basically did the same thing with the ARL's. Although while not a cube, it was basically an early ww2 design in the cold war.

[@perjohanaxell9862]

This tank was made for the end of ww2 to attack German fortifications. Not many were made and they weren't needed. War thanders br system mixes up the time so different era thanks end up fighting each other.

[@herrkroot]

​@@aiedenoldstien9751 I mean the ARL-44 was a pre-WW2 design they finished after the war. It was pretty quickly phased out though following its completion. The main reason the French even built it post-war was to try and regain their military prowess from a tank production perspective.

Always amusing seeing people so used to APHE that they don't know where to aim with solid shot. There's no hand-holding with British tanks because they don't use the same kind of made-up shell performance that most other nations rely heavily on. I also noticed that Spooks really underestimated the 32-pdr shell's pen several times. That thing cuts like a hot knife through butter against most opponents you face, and one-shot a large number of them too.

The thing with slow clumsy tanks like this (Especially those that have a good reverse gear) is they force you to play safe and smart. Like I hate the IS 2, Tortoise, Object 268, Maus.
