BA-64 (PTRS) : fun car with anti-tank rifle.

+1

+1, this would be a perfect reserve wheeled vehicle.

The 14.5mm round is surprisingly capable. Couple that with a semi-automatic rifle and I think this guy could be a potent foe on the battlefield! +1

I voted yes on the OG post and again fully support it here! This is such a fun vehicle and I REALLY wanna play it! +1

The Germans have 3 reserve vehicles, lets let the soviets have 3 too!

+1 it’s similar than sdkfz 221(Pz B 41). Tier 1, 1.0 BR funny small Armored car. Why not ?

What’s the PTRS like at longer ranges? I see you said 46-49mm at point blank, but what about 100 metres? 500 metres? Is it going to be viable?

It basically uses the same stats as the PVKT 14.5 AP-I(c) shell, but it is semi automatic 5 round clip. So here are the stats for 0 degrees from the vertical:
10m: 49mm
100m: 46mm
500m: 34mm
1000m: 23mm
1500m: 16mm
2000m: 11mm

So you can destroy panzer 3/4 side armour flat side on under 600 meters. Also it will be quite easy to aim with more than 1km/s muzzle velocity.

This would be pretty fun, game could always use more AT rifles.

(There’s the L3/33 and the new 39M Csaba. Are there any others ingame that I’m forgetting?)

Not to mention with a shoulder-stop, so you can get shots off quickly after braking.

If Gaijin approves, I want the AS42 with the Solothurn rifle.

Yeah, that thing is also very cool. I wanna make a suggestion on it, but I am just a bit too busy.

I had “done” it in the old forum, and they told me (in short) “The vehicle would be easy to do but useless”.

Who told you that, the moderators or gaijin employees? It’s a perfectly viable vehicle, since both the AS42 with the autocannon and the Solothurn AMR are in the game in the Italian TT.

Not useless when the Csaba uses similar autocannon and same ammo. It maybe eve faster than the Csaba. Just import the suggestion from the old forum 👍.

The Clown Car…I remember this horrifying, game breaking, monstrosity back from Red Orchestra. 1,000,000 no votes…

A moderator of the Italian TT. I was shocked.

Similar weapon yes, but different rate of fire and penetration if I’m not mistaken.

My comrade, you are using different game and a totally different expirience to judge what is going to be in War Thunder. Infact if this vehicle gets added, it will be far from monstrosity and will require skill and extensive knowlage in where to shoot and aim.

BA-64B (PTRS) looks like it was a field modification that saw limited production at best.

Premium or event.
