sooo i bought the red army day bundle and i have 7k ge. my first thought was to wait for summer sale and get the american harrier and something else, but then i saw the obj 140. i have less stuff on usa airforce tree, but i have more stuff that i like on the ussr tree. which should i get?
Object 140, go for whatever tree you prefer. Do NOT grind your way to top tier play the game to have fun

A SPAA as a TD is a pretty fun playstyle ngl
If you dont like more modern stuff dont bother at all. I stick to props and ww2 myself mostly its just so much more enjoyable, you’d be better off getting a fun vehicle.
the AV-8a is not worth the money, its the best 9.7 harrier but their flight models are so dogturd bad i cant reccomend them for now

EDIT: I play Arcade nearly all the time. Very rarely do I play Realistic, so especially for the Harrier look at the advice for the game mode you prefer more. My advice for the Harrier(s) are for Air Arcade. For the Obj 140 I think it does well in either mode.
Exactly what he said ☝️ The lower Premium US Harrier is not worth it. The HIGHER Tier one IS worth it, I really like it. Even if it is not “the best” etc. But that lower one, do NOT waste your GE’s.
I have the Obj 140, it is a good “little” tank. If you play Ground Realistic it has a rangefinder! It will not automatically set your shell drop elevation in your sights like a Laser Rangefinder HOWEVER, it WILL give you exact distance measurements out to 2km. Vastly better than not having a rangefinder. Go into a test drive in Realistic mode and hit your rangefinder button. Night and day difference having that “low level” rangefinder modification 👍
Furthermore, even if you do play Ground Arcade, having a rangefinder makes the red/yellow/green hit indicator show up a long ranges very similar to how high/top tanks do with their laser rangefinders. Whereas tanks without any rangefinder will only show the hit indicator at ranges 1km or less. Give that a try too if you like.
Extremely noteworthy modification. I put much more value on tanks with rangefinders/laser rangefinders at “lower” BR’s, and especially premium tanks with them.
Finally the Obj 140 has a good selection of ammo types, and each of them are quite good for its BR. APDS, APCBC (has explosive filler), and HEATFS. I personally take in APDS and HEATFS, though you might like to take all 3. Depends on what you like and how you play.
If you do purchase it, I would recommend taking a maximum of 30 shells into a match. That way all of those 30 shells are contained within the fuel “armor” shell locations. Take more than 30 and the ammo starts filling up the crew compartment.
“Protected” ammo, you can see in Xray view in the main menu too. They can still detonate lol, but it at least gives you a chance to survive some ammo hits:
Fill up the crew compartment with any shells past 30 and you are just begging for a battlefield promotion to Cosmonaut 😂

Weirdly enough, I much enjoy the Av-8A because 2 Aim-9Gs and acceptable flight performance+flares makes it very good at 9.7. I’d rate the Av-8B much lower just because it’s at a BR where it has very few advantages, and is actively screwed over by the new airspawns in air RB.

AH! Yeah I mostly play Arcade, in ALL game types, I forgot to say that. That makes a huge deference.
@KoolBoyAistis do you play Arcade or Realistic mode the most?
i only play rb
i got the obj 140 so it doesnt matter anymore, im very happy with it
