Everyone hates uptiers, right? The good news is that there are vehicles that can help you deal with them :) I've become a massive fan of the weird and wonderful tank destroyers in War Thunder over the last few years, and I LOVE using them in up-tiers to deal with stronger enemies. I've put this little comparison video together to show just how powerful a tank destroyer can be next to a medium or heavy tank. They really are essential (and fun!) components of any good lineup IMHO :) What do you think? Tankonaut.

The artillery guns are also great at removing annoying light vehicles like foxes and weasles from my sight, as the ho-ri can withstand alot of autocannons up to 30mm and even some 30mm aircraft cannons depending on belts

And then heavy tank a medium one, and if possible an amphibious light tank. And a plane Amphibious tanks are a kind of once in a while in certain maps, but those times it changed the entire match to have one both in tier 1,2 and tier 7 to 8 with things such as the bmp.

Getting uptiered as russia just sucks. Its honestly russias biggest weak point, like unless you use tank destroyers you just have the same gun with below 200mm penetration until you get an IS-2

Instruction unclear, my stock M37 GMC cannot even pen the ass of Panther at 200m
@tankonaut
@tankonaut 8 ай бұрын
The stock ap shell isn't capped and yes it sucks! :) Prioritize getting the M82 shot - its a tier one modification and MORE important than parts or FPE - get it first. You still won't be able to pen a panthers upper front plate unless point blank, but you can wreck it through the turret face/mantlet. The M82 will also smash most other enemies you face. However, prioritize flanking in the regular m36 (the m36b2 has heat which can reliably deal with panthers head on) you want to be hitting ememies side on as you don't have the armor to face them directly. see this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoScZamGltZmgLc - check the last kill I wait until the panther is side on and I know I have a killshot before giving away my psoition.

I am a ground player and I do admit unlocking planes is hard as a tanker - basically you earn research points when using planes in ground battles - BUT it is slow progress. You will earn a LOT more research points by playing air battles - which I now do when I am trying to research a new plane. I'm not a big fan of air battles as I prefer dogfights in ground but its the best way to unlick new planes quickly. :) @@ultraslay7635

Your observation, while intriguing in its essence, prompts a contemplation on the selection of a more superlative exemplar within the realm of tank destroyers. Admittedly, a discerning eye might posit that a superior choice would have enriched the discourse, thereby enhancing the cognitive edification of the audience in a more efficacious manner.
