The team letting you down when you cap all the points and kill half of the enemy is about 95% of the War Thunder experience.

[@imnomoremaverick]

Literally finished a ground arcade match in my lineup (M60A1 AOS,RISE P and T95E1) in a 9.0 match on 3-point Sinai (the one with the big desert) I captured the point in the city near my spawn and managed to kill SEVEN guys alone with my AOS,even two A1A1s. Then spawned with my RISE and killed another 4 guys,but the match was lost because even tho i mowed the enemy team and slowly crawled through their point, my team refused to advance and was slowly picked up by the campers in the open desert. What a shame

[@derpfin5145]

@@imnomoremaverick I've noticed that, I go into a match and then I push towards the caps and middle of the map, engage some enemies and then look at the minimap and notice that my WHOLE team are just sitting at that line in the middle of our cap and spawn and im the only one that pushed at all and have to engage EVERY enemy by myself and die because I have no support and then we end up losing because my team are so dumb that they can't push and have to stay back and get picked off one by one

[@imnomoremaverick]

@@derpfin5145 yeah that's honestly irritating,but let's look at the bright side:when you do that,you basically turn your brain off and the enemy is caught off guard and starts shooting at you. This is one thing that I love about this BR bracket: the fact that sometimes i can block many shots and fight till the last breath. Like,in another match my team had me and 3 others left and the enemy team only 2,and they were winning.I Won a 1v2 with my T95E1,secured the cap and won simply because i turned off the brain and let the muscle memory to kick in

[@aiedenoldstien9751]

Sometimes it's just unfortunate luck for a lot of people. Other times it's the fact that randomly people decide to just not to play objective.

Yes and no, If you look at what the italian doctrine describes the roller of a Carro Pesante (heavy tank) as it would be more accurate to call it a medium support tank. The Italians did not see heavy tanks as heavy breakthrough vehicles but medium tanks with bigger guns. The requirements didd not require the tank to have more armour than a medium and required it to maintain the same road speed as a medium tank.

The #1 at the end of a name means that they tried to use their username but it was, supposedly, already taken. Mine was, somehow, taken already according to Gaijin and so at first the name was all screwed up in-game with a bunch of weird characters about halfway through. So I tried to use my one free name change and Gaijin decided my name was already taken... which I somehow doubt, and so they just tacked on the #1 at the end. Given my name is oddly specific and usual, I have a feeling my initial entry was actually registered correctly with their database but in-game it was all garbled... somehow? Spaghetti code go brrrrr. No idea if anything similar happened with the other players, but that's usually what the #1 is, it means they tried to take a username that was at least registered in the servers already.

Started War Thunder around a month ago and couldn’t find a tech tree that felt like it was doing what I enjoyed until I started playing the Italian one, and the P40 was super surprising. I had it in the line up as “something to use when my good tanks are dead” but found it was the one I was actually performing best with at its BR. It isn’t a beast, but it just kind of performs slightly better than expected in pretty much everything. A bit more survivable than expected, hits a bit harder than expected, can get around a bit faster than expected. I like the lil guy.

You were playing on a city map and were trapped next to your teammates bc they all decided to push the same corner to meet the enemy push. Suddenly an enemy Technical drives into frame and "Tides of Wrath" from C&C Generals starts playing while it eats a few tank rounds. It survives for another minute by crazily driving back and forth round the wreckage. You land the kill shot, the music stops, and the Enel face gif plays on screen. That's it. It ended after that. Nothing seemed out of place, and you were talking like it was a normal video. Idk what this means. Besides that, War Thunder is getting a Technical added to the game at some point.

Since you like Italian tanks so much, 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: 1)

"Armor is not as good" I can't pen the front at point blank with a Sherman 75 (probably skill issue)

AMX-13 DCA 40 is another fun vehicle, basically a 4.3 cv9040 on crack with no restricting first stage ammo and a built in 40mm nitro to get to early game rat spots, would recommend playing it.
