The Independent is actually the second oldest tank in the game, the Char 2c was made in 1921 and beats it by 5 years

[@TheMilitaryTok]

Yeah, I think I made a mistake, in this case it’d be the second oldest :)

[@franklindelanoreroosevelt5041]

@@TheMilitaryTok it's fine I can see why you might have forgotten about it and I chalk it up to being a lower tier French tank and from what I've seen online not a lot of people like the French tech tree and I've never seen anyone using it besides me, and it was added in an update that wasn't really that big other than adding the F-16AJ, the Tornado F.3, USS Nevada, AH6M little bird and the squadron Hunter F.58 and that's all I can really remember from Sky Guardians While writing this I got into a game and I now know the fear I bring to while approaching the A point taking hit like it's nothing Great video nonetheless

[@xXxCAN1B1SN0SC0PExXx]

Why make a video like this without even basic research

[@erfo7985]

I remember 1917 for the fmc 2c ?

[@franklindelanoreroosevelt5041]

@@xXxCAN1B1SN0SC0PExXx for the longest time the independent was the longest vehicle in the game and it still shows up as the oldest vehicle on many decisions I've seen dated as far back as a year ago and the Char is still some what new and it was added in an update that didn't really add anything (in my opinion)and was in between the update that added the F-16, Mig 29, and the Tornado Gr.1 and the update that added the F-14B, the Bluewater fleet for France and retarded bombs so that's probably why he said it was oldest because from what I can tell not a lot people really took note of the Char being added due to like i said being part of a "smaller" update and being overshadowed by cooler stuff

[@Kaoki4]

The abrams one just ruined my entire week😭

[@susknight9410]

I don't understand

[@Sidedlist]

Same

[@CT5597LieutenantJesse]

It’s realistic

[@MissionSBinnow]

It's completely normal for tanks with at least 4 manned crew to have asymmetrical turret, because the left side is usually where the gunner and tc sits at, so the left turret cheek usually protrudes more compared to the right side. If both sides of the turret cheeks are symmetrical it could add weight and wear to the turret ring. Examples is the Leopard 2 series, although you need to look through the top view very hard to spot it. The Tiger 1 and 2 has its main gun slightly offset to the right. Panther's case is almost impossible to spot. The Panzer 4 has its whole turret offset to the right. Take a look at the Mi-24 through the front view. The M60 Patton's left turret side armour (Front View) is less sloped than the right side. Merkava 4 left composite turret armour (Still front view) is ever so slightly more sloped than the right side. Challenger 1 is also an example, although I'm not sure why. Challenger 2 and 3 are the only mbts I knew that has fully symmetrical turret cheek armour (Externally)

[@williewilson2250]

If it makes you feel better, the gun is off center and the fuel tanks around the driver are uneven The torsion bars are also uneven inside the tank, so one road wheel is the leading one and always touches a bump if going perfectly straight first
