This Car Deletes Tanks

War Thunder is a game that focuses heavily on tanks and other armored vehicles, but trucks can also be fairly effective. The Italian AS 42/47 is surprisingly good for a low tier armored car.

[@bwcmakro]

It's a lot easier to crush a load of lowbies. I occasionally drop down to some early PZ4s and end up with 12-18 kills pretty regularly, since people are both less experienced *and* they stick around until their lineup is done - in high tiers a lot of people just quit on their first or second death.

[@blumpfreyfranks8863]

Attempt number 17 at getting Spookston to play any tank with a dozer blade, the catch is, he has to dig in before engaging targets. Movement around the map is allowed, but he has to dig in again.

[@PraetorianMan]

...what would even be the least miserable tank to use for this kind of gimmick? The Magach 6M? Type 74 F?

[@edensdreams2890]

@@PraetorianMan depending on the map I'm a big fan of digging in with the T-80UK so I can hide my lfp a bit and sometimes give myself some extra depression. It is pretty quick spaded so it can get to decent vantage points I'd say.

3:15 the reason the a13 was so hard to kill is because it has two layers of side armour to fit the Christie suspension which often fuses early aphe early and make the a13 weirdly survivable to side shots

[@matthiuskoenig3378]

And it's because his turret was full of mostly dead bodies

[@aiedenoldstien9751]

We still just totally need our Toyota Land cruiser and Hilux technical trees.

Or even the German ones, like an R35 hull armed with the same 47mm gun as the Panzerjager I, or an FCM.36 hull armed with the 75mm PaK 40.

[@tophatcat6424]

The lower Italian ranks are usually underappreciated imo. My best kill game was 16 in the M15/42, and basically all the 47mm Italian tanks are pretty fun

War Thunder's logic on wheeled vehicles being as sneaky as me playing Snake and smelling someone's neck is crazy *edit: I believe the obliviousness of low tier players also plays a good part into it

there is a tank that i really like called the ARL-44 with an incredible gun and pen at 5.3 which also has a funny upper front plate for a "tank destroyer"

[@matthiuskoenig3378]

The as42 was a desert raiding vehicle, think sas jeeps. The shit ton of ammo is because it was meant to raid for extended periods of time independant of an operating base.

[@Shiftrade]

Been playing the japanese type 94 a bit lately and it feels very much akin to the AS42, trucks that clap tanks in low tiers. That hiding in the rubble in a grey car is such a rat move lol, Cheers for the video mate.

Dude i love this tank very fun

[@cybernetic_crocodile8462]

Do you know what other Italian truck-based weapon system is very "fun"? Lancia 3Ro 100/17. It has all favourite Spookston's chracteristics: it is big, slow, has zero armour, it has terrible gun rotation speed and slow shell. But it also uses big boom cannon. I also have a challenge for this vechicle: get 10 kills with it at BR 10.0 in a single match.

[@Manchweld]

It’s APHE (or anti concrete) shell is I believe the second slowest shell in the game behind only the he round of the 150mm SIG. it is 244 M/S versus the 150’s 240

[@leflavius_nl5370]

Speaking of taking an antitank shell to the hip, an acquaintance of mine had a forklift with a 10 meter pipe (diameter 250mm) sticking out frontally off its forks round a corner and drive through his car and impale him, driving the pole through him for about 4 meters. He's not dead, not even cripple. His hip got (entirely) reconstructed and he has a very slight limp. Missed some his digestive stuff by a few centimeters and some artery in his leg by centimeters too. He has no memory of the hours between him getting skewered and waking up in hospital with a new hip. Must be such a gruesome way to go that you don't even realize you're getting torn apart.
