T-58 pushed me as i coulnt do anything (50mm stock pen)
20kmh uphill climb… (30* ish incline)
Out flanked by rattas… (20mm kind)
I am not even gonna talk about 35mm kind
British were not cooking, also i would rather have 25hp per ton of a MK1 than 18hp per ton… but i am not deep enough in british TT to be objective enough
youre mistaken, the fluted barrels assisted in stability of the barrel, intended for a stabiliser system. Reduced the barrel wobble so that it wouldnt be like a 2a42 and swing all over the place.
would have near to no affect on how the british and dutch used rarden
I’d say the state of this vehicle is between the people calling it bad and the people calling it OP
with proper positioning and aim, it CAN module-snipe ammoracks on a good flank
on the other hand, I don’t think a light tank is considered “good” if it has to constantly grasp at straws and pray the enemy team does not have even a smidge of situational awareness and logical thinking (then again, this is War Thunder, where most people just hold W down and read “Attention to the Map!” as “There’s an enemy exactly here” rather than “There was an enemy around here”)
The heavier barrels balanced out the Breach, making it a entirely balanced Gun, Like the Shoulder fired 6 pounders in the Crusader.
In testing Just with the Weighted barrels the Rarden Sheridan was able to fire accurately on the move at up to 30mph.
The Barrels were 44kg, compared to the 26kg barrels of the standard Rarden, nearly double the weight, and that balanced out the Breach and mechanisms at the back.
And it wasn’t even that good, because they made it completely unhistorical and there’s still tons of bug reports outstanding or been denied because of their delusion that it’s “not the Tank Museum one”.
