WWII Truck Beats Modern Tanks

Decal link: tinyurl.com/42thwzv3
For a challenge I took the SU-57, a WWII truck with an anti-tank cannon, and put it up against top tier tanks in War Thunder. It did not go well, but it also didn't go terribly.

Attempt number 9 at getting Spookston to play any tank with a dozer blade, the catch is he can’t engage until he digs himself in. Movement around the map is allowed, but he has to dig in again before engaging.

Btw for the Mig-29 segment on Alaska the R-27 is not like the Sparrow when it comes to losing lock. It will keep flying towards the last position it received from radar instead of self-destructing and if lock is reacquired it will immediately adjust back on course.

[@collander7766]

pretty sure that was Mozdok

[@lillayoda4095]

On mozdok radar lock was kept through the dogfight due to the spiral nature of the turn. On Alaska the enemy notched and Spookton locked and shot at a completely different guy@@collander7766

[@aiedenoldstien9751]

The sad reality is that I guarantee the missile doesn't do that IRL. Though then again Gajin allows Russian missiles to do 180s off the rails.

[@MiG29Enjoyer]

@@aiedenoldstien9751It does, it has radiolocation and INS, i dont know about the datalink part tho

[@collander7766]

​@@MiG29Enjoyer "radiolocation" *is* datalink lol

[@kiubekpl5863]

14:44 it is actually "special", R27ER has datalink so even if the missile loses lock it will continue using inertial guidance and/or if it gets TWS data from the radar, using datalink. So once you relock the missile will work again because thats what it is designed to do. It is the only fox1 in game to do that.

[@713bigounce]

AIM-7s have that too, so does the French top tier SARH missiles too

[@kiubekpl5863]

​@@713bigounce neither of those have datalink, they use radar returns like all fox1 and INS (inertial navigation system) in case of loss of track, however if the track is not regained the missile will self destruct and without a proper track the missile is simply guiding based on last known inertia/position so its not actively tracking... R27ER has inertial navigation but it also had datalink which is where the aircraft sends the data it sees (the mother aircraft) and the missile is actively guiding based on that, however this data is not precise enough for a proper intercept so you need to do an STT (single target track) lock in order for the missile itself to actually see the target so it intercepts it The only other missile to have that to my knowledge is the aim54 but it works a bit differently as it is a fox 3 not fox 1

[@EpochSecutor]

I still want to see you use the Type 60 SPRG (not the strugglebus ATM) - Thing's fun even with the low ammo count, especially if you use the twin guns separately.

I'm not at top tier yet but I've been playing the Daimler Mk 2 at 8.0 recently and it's been GREAT. It's so mobile, so quiet, and so small (plus excellent depression) that you can really rat out. I'm talking climbing onto rubble and top-attacking vehicles. Plus it instantly kills the hordes of light vehicles with it's two second reload.

[@chaoslink1158]

I think you have a few neat video ideas already in there. The King Tiger at top tier might be something. Though I think showing off just how good the Chaffee is might also be good. Start at its own BR, then go up one step per kill. So if you get 6 kills in your first match, you'd go from 3.7 to 5.7. Another 4 kills puts you at 7.0 BR. Keep going until you've run out of BRs. Its a hell of a good tank and could function at any BR.
