You’re telling me that the t55am is worse than something like the OF40, or the XM803
Heat is literally the main round used in 7.7-8.3, and guess what, this thing is practically immune to it, it is almost impossible to fight this thing especially at range with something like an m60a1, as it doesn’t have a range finder, has a worse round, has no ATGM, has worse speed despite being western. Like the t55 isn’t even comparable to something like that
Out of the 213 recorded matches I’ve had, only TEN, TEN FUCKING MATCHES were full uptiers, that is not fucking annecdotal
ONE IN 20 GAMES IS AN UPTIER, AND I STILL MAINTAINED A POSITIVE K/D IN EACH MATCH
Like I’m sorry this is just not a fair vehicle to play against, I record my stats specifically for this reason, there is no way a vehicle should be performing this well in uptiers and downtiers, no matter the player. I put it #1 because it’s the vehicle I have the highest K/D with above BR 3.7, it is absurd how amazing both the AM1 and AMD perform. The ztz88 at 8.7 was no where near as good as this thing is in its current state with the armament options and excellent armor
Yep, the top attack launcher is slightly higher than the turret, and the commander view is the same. I’ll let you imagine how that thing can be abused. Knowing that some terrain features on some maps are just the perfect height…
Yes, and I compared it with 8.7s prior. It’s not better than all other 8.7s.
If you think 8.7s shouldn’t face 7.7s make that argument instead.
The best 8.7 MBT in War Thunder is AMX-30B2 or T-55M.
T-55AM-1, M60A1 RISE [just as fast as AM-1] has a better round it trades for normal rangefinder, and Shot Kal Gimel & Strv 104 are all similar enough to each other.
The worst 8.7 is Object 122MT, and even that’s almost the same power at T-55AM-1.
@SolareHQ
OF40 has speed and pen.
HEATFS stops being used at 8.0 - 8.3.
Also that’s the definition of anecdote.
The vehicle you are good with as an individual is the most overpowered vehicle. Each person will have their own claims.
For me personally, LAV-AD with Hydra pod.

Tbh I’m not even going to respond, no one will change your view because you believe it to be objective fact.

It is one of it, if not the best 8.7, but it’s not a 9.0 vehicle.
The whole BR range of 7.7 to 10.0 is compressed to hell and Gaijin haven’t fixed it.
As a sweden main i present the Ush-405 a absolute monster with high mobility and firepower can lolpen anything. If used right it can easely wipe half the enemy team or voilate an IS-7

Somehow I knew right away someone would argue with you and defend the 2S38. I just figured it would be @AlvisWisla being the first one to do it. These guys would have a heart attack if somehow something were to convince Gaijin to nerf their precious 2S38 that holds their hands.
Yes your claim really is.
I use APHE as my main round and only use APFSDS as backup because there is a plethora of lightly armoured vehicles and Leo1s usually spammed out
Only top tier vehicles from he saw on youtube
Pathetic.
- ZiS-30 is 2.3 but has penetration (on APHEBC) of 4.3
- Matilda III or Crusader because of stabiliser and fast rate of fire.

I mean, if one wants a good answer you need to go to BRs where the quality of a vehicle just makes it completely busted, but its BR is low due to users not being able to take advante of it.
To which id probably point to a few vehicles that have this quality:
Jagdpanzer IV, tho i havent played it myself specifically my understanding is that its very good for the BR given it has Panther equivalent armor, but no turret to shoot.
Every 40mm bofors carrier below 3.0, the combination of pen, post pen, firerate and gun handling make them extremely potent.
Sav 20.12.48, for the same reason as the 40mm bofors carriers.
Probably VIDAR, so far my Object 279 against this thing (not stealth kill) has been 1:1, almost always OHKO, a few times it out-sniped me in the sands of Sinai >1.8KM. It’s embarrassing to be one-shot by something -1br, like where is my armor when I need it.
inb4 krill issues
Slap on a Stalhelm on the right side cover the left with a bush and watch many aim for the right.
Was i wrong?, you people fall for basic tricks because you do not bother to identify before firing.
Just report them. They’re just gonna report our comments rather than trying ti disprove em in a mature and civil way.
Where did I attack you? Show me a quote pls
I only stated(and correct me if I’m wrong) that you criticized him for using anecdotal evidence while you yourself are using anecdotal evidence in the same sentence.
Also again same question? What was off topic and where did I defend 2s38s BR? Pls again provide direct quotes
And to keep even this post on topic:
The T-55AM could still see a 0.3 br increase and would be totally fine.
Anecdotal is literally something based on personal bias and lack of research, you’re telling me that 200+ games isn’t a large enough sample size for a vehicle?? Even in instances when I did get up tiered the vehicle is still very good at those brs as its round can go through everything. The T55s round can go right through the OF40mk.2 frontally without any issue. Also did you just say the worst 8.7 is the Object 122MT? you’re funny. If 4 spamable missiles, 350mm of pen with apfsds and a laser rangefinder isn’t good for you at 8.7 then I don’t even want to hear what you have to say about other vehicles in the game.
4 missiles that are nearly useless at long range due to how much the oscillate in flight. Flat pen means nothing, the angled pen is ok, but the post pen is terrible. It also lacks thermals, commander override, and it has a long reload.
IMO the missiles are the only thing keeping it at 8.7 because they have saved me so many times.
It is not the worst 8.7, but it also is not the best.
