Everyone I’ve spoken too who plays Britain has exactly this feeling, especially when it comes to the mid tiers shAtterPDS rounds.

Had a guy try and explain to me how apds is amazing and does great post pen damage. All in an argument about the t55am and how it’s obviously better than most other 8.7s at its br. He then said the chieftain mk 5 is better because it has more pen, more post pen damage, better mobility and better armour…… don’t know where he’s getting any of this but okay lol. Last thing apds is is reliable or damaging.

Perfectly encapsulates the rework and how most of us feel.

Chieftain APDS is fine though.

The icing on the cake for that video would be right before it ended, if a LGB landed on you.

Clearly never played the t55-am 1lmao it’s in a different league in comparison, apfsds, laser range finder, atgm for helicopters, 12.7mm roof gun, better cheek armour and better mobility lol its nor even comparable especially on long range maps.

It’s the only apds that works. However long range the t55-am1 has a huge advantage with the laser range finder

Long range?
Sister, we’re in war thunder.

I should record a new one for when that happens. because as we all know, it’s happened.

It was, but after spading the chieftain mk 5 it has went down the shitter. It does a lot less damage now along with it non penning a hell of a lot more. I’ve had to use hesh to kill tanks such as the t72 and t64 due to how little damage it does and the fact that it non pens quite a bit against them.

Nothing I love more then spending the first 3 minutes of every game driving a position that I might be able to use to.

.001 seconds after the 3 minute mark is when CAS appears so then Im just the first one bombed.

ODL because I lost all motivation to re-spawn.

I had an absolute gem of a game yesterday.

Left spawn, got into good hull down defensive position.

Got CASd

Respawned as SPAA.

Suicide CASd in spawn.

Respawned in light tank.

Spawn overrun by enemy team.

Decided to log off and go for a walk before I broke something.

Didn’t help I was on one of gaijins best maps where the enemy team can snipe your spawn from theirs.
