[@Shuncle2958]

You should play the M50 Ontos, its my favorite gremlin tank of them all in War Thunder solely because the ability to spam 6 HESH or HEATFS rounds in rapid succession makes it such a fun little demon when you play it right.

[@JackalSon1]

I defended A in that map with the town as A with the fortress by it where the other team spawns with an Ontos for a whole round. I would just hide, listen, engine off pop out fire...and fail to kill then fire the other 6 rounds until they died. I was on the point so I just kept getting more ammo. Rinse and repeat. That was the first good round I had with it cuz I still suck with the Ontos.

[@rhystaylor851]

This tank does fit Spooks goblin energy nicely. Could try playing a slightly bigger goblin tank, the Rooikat 76 :)

[@Deebosbikerepo]

One of my favorites as well. Your description of being a sneaky scout and only firing occasionally is exactly my kind of game play. M56 is a perfect scout/support vehicle as long as you're a sneaky little rat.

[@ampa-3612]

I would love to see you play the 2S3M. It's such an interesting vehicle to me.

[@jPlanerv2]

also has proxy round so you can top attack some people which is funny

[@vizender]

You should have a new look at the ELC Bis. It seems much more playable to me, to the point of being fun. The strategy is not to be a camping goblin, but keep moving around, and have the enemy shooting at your transmission. It can survive pretty much anything as long as it’s not APFSDS (really, even T34, Tiger2s, and FV4005 don’t kill it when shooting at the transmission)

[@JoyOfTacos]

Did they update it? I hadn’t paid attention to the patch notes.

[@capfig4471]

I'd love to see you play the "Early War Japan" lineup, consisting of the 57 mm Chi-Ha, the Ha-Go, and the I-Go. (Ro-Go too, if you want). I find the HEAT rounds for the 57 mm to be quite effective, actually. The Ha-Go does have enough pen to deal with a lot of reserve tier threats as well, and the shell is full of filler

[@null3752]

spotting using a light tank is one of the best style of gameplay you could ever do being a bulldog and going around and just scouting enemy then shooting one then going again somewhere its a lot of fun watching your teammates destroy the enemy

For me this thing is somehow very survivable most of the time
