At least the TTD it’s an mbt with 9.3 firepower

22

It’s probably one of the few actual interesting M48/M60 tanks to use in this game. Nice ERA, too.

23

Oh
Well how much of this tank u see? Its not like its op

24

this was your original question

25

Yea
Cus he said 9.7 5 sec meta but there is like only 2 tanks with 5 sec reload one is event and one is bad premium

26

War Thunder is a simulation; what you mean to say is War Thunder is not reenactment.

War thunder is a simulation

ya they do like get them their spall liners

I want to remind all that 5s reload at 10.3 or below is not unheard of… even in manually loaded tanks… I know this is a compression issue but we are not getting another br change until after the upcoming update (bcoz 1. thunder cup so top tier ground was left untouched and 2. upcoming major update is gonna be a ground update most probably so it makes sense to get delay top tier br changes after that).

Tanks that already have a faster reload aced than 105mm manually loaded tanks at similiar br :-

GER

  • PT16/T14 MOD EVENT (10.3 4s autoloader) (same br + better armour)
  • Boxer MGS EVENT (10.3 5s autoloader) (same br)
  • Kpz 70 TT (9.3 6s autoloader) (weaker shell but better mobility and 20mm and no thermals)

SWE

  • Patria 105 CTCV HP EVENT (10.0 5s autoloader)
  • CV90105 PRE (10.0 5s autoloader)

USA

  • M60 120S TT (10.3 5s aced reload) (worse mobility but good turret armour and top tier round)
  • XM8 TT (9.7 5s autoloader) (worse mobility and slightly worse firepower)
  • M1 Abrams TT (10.7 5s aced) (much better mobility much better round and questionably better armour at just 0.4 br higher [seriously why gaijin?] )

USSR/RUS

  • T80UD TT (10.3 6.5s autoloader) (much better armour, similiar round but much higher caliber no reverse gear and no thermals at same br!)

CHN

  • T80UD/BE EVENT (10.3 6.5s autoloader) (same ass t80ud with thermals)

GBR

  • CHALLENGER DS (10.7) PRE, CHALLENGER MK2 (10.3) TT, CHALLENGER MK3 (10.7) TT (5s aced reload) (worse mobility but better armour and rounds)
  • FV 4030/3 EVENT (9.7 5s aced reload) (low reload with nuke shell at such a low br. honestly gaijin what tf!!!)

JPN

  • TYPE 90 TT (11.3 4s autoloader) (Faces tam2c and olifant in full downtier which it gets quite a lot…)

ISRAEL

  • SABRA MK 1 TT (9.7 6s aced) (Lower br worse mobility, better armour and top tier round at this br…)

TT > Tech tree vehicle
EVENT > Event vehicle
PRE > Premium vehicle

Like seriously those who complain about 10.3 tanks with 5s reload clapping 9.7 tanks in full/ partial downtier… we already have 10.3 105mm tanks with 6.7 aced reload facing type 90s like what are you gonna do to it???
You even have a abarms with aced reload just 0.4 br higher than you… Like are you even gonna touch it? It has better full crew reload than your aced reload while havig a round that can kill you two times over…

CM11 filling data is provided by the then documenter in Taiwan, China (now resigned) and CM11 loader

You forgot about T-80UD/BE

brother you have just been enlightened… Welcome to the praying to gaijin for 105 reload buff club

37

I opened the topic thinking about, here we go another early Abrams thread :P

Then I read and realized I was wrong and the tanks you’ve suggested to get buffs are actually quite good :D

I mean abrams already has a great reload and wonderful mobility… It does not have armour but that is not a problem… These tanks are just 1 br step below and face the same enemies with worse mobility and armour… Yes their rounds are better but come on your ace reload is slower than expert reload on a 120mm that is not fair

@scripterzofindia
The 105mm round weighs the same as the 120mm round while being the same length as well.

I agree that the Abrams have great mobility and with that being said the 10.7 Abrams/KVT aren’t bad tanks, they just require you to position yourself properly and time your shots well.

Regarding the TAM2C, while I haven’t played it (yet) I strongly think its a great tank if its played anything like its predecessors, the TAM and TAM2IP (which I have and love it). Its a light vehicle, you get the scout ability, the scout drone, its fast, packs a good punch, etc.

The TTD is the next tank I am unlocking in my UK tech tree and while I don’t believe its a bad tank, I wouldn’t mind it getting a slightly downtier to 10.0 at all. To be honest its not a tank I see a lot used by anyone, and I think if the Leopard 2K can be at 10.0 so can this beauty.
