Is XM800T really 8.7 worthy?

12.7…

Hmmm I dont think I can use it as a nuke printer with the XM246 anymore then…
I wonder why I mean theres Russia, 🇷🇺 and Россия…

Every tank struggles when stock, your point ?

@Terminated_800 is in for a treat when he gets to dealing with NERA armoured tanks with stock HEAT-FS…

Not even close. Xm246 is the latest one to get added to the game and somehow, it’s the problem? Plenty of these 35mm cancer was in the game long before the xm246 and they are arguably better (3-4 of them has way better mobility, namely the ZA-35, Gepard, Chieftain Marksman, etc.) while carrying the exact same gun and they can use darts

anti-tank capability-wise? Hell yes these 35mm “anti-air” auto cannon can go straight up to ~9.3

Anti-air capability-wise? 8.3 is fine cuz they have only gun with no missile

I made a post about this issue not too long ago: Something needs to be done about 8.3 - 9.0 SPAA [Poll] - Game Discussion / Realistic Battle - War Thunder — official forum

  • have way better mobility
  • says Chief Marksman?
    buddy since when does a Chieftain have good mobility
    ItPsV 90 is fast, since thats a Leo 2 hull

Also SINCE WHEN can 35mm SPAA use darts?? No they cant, they have a VERY LIMITED amount of APDS shells

since forever? Leo 2 hull is pretty fast and mobile, you made it sound like its slow

yea i meant apds

Chieftain is going 48km/h at most with non existant power to weight, it does not have good mobility

for toptier maybe, but for 8.3 its one of the fastest chassy you are going to see, especially on these auto cannon carriers

Stop the cap, even a T55 is faster then a chief…

same gun, 2+m apart
all weak Hulls (except the Finnish Marksman but that has its guns the furthest apart of all of them)

that makes it basically impossible to hit with Both guns

the darts are limited to 20 shots per gun so basically irrelevant most of the match

the XM246 has its guns directly next to each other, and lots of electronics infront of the Crew that Often just sucks up shells, it also has an M48 Hull which is quite a lot more armoured than the Leo 1 hull of the Gepard of the Rooikat Hull of the ZA-35

generally when I meet an Oerlikon 35 carrier most of them are dead with one hit center mass, the XM246 isnt’t Usually

Its not, I would agree with you if it hadn’t got nerfed to hell. Its almost unplayable. I can say that because its my most played vehicle in the whole game.

stock dm43 is a major issue, yet 63 is indeed strong asf

Mate, I was fighting bmpts in the free stock Abrams, half the time u see a tank and just run away. I did manage to kill one by hitting the drivers optics tho

thats pretty true, i rarely ever get one shotted and i soak up so many rounds lmao, there is so much parts that just eat all the spall and I live

If you bring it to 7.7 it would half to fight against heavies which it just won’t be able to pen. I think it is good at 8.7

This has never made any sense. Tanks at a lower BR, even if you think you can’t pen them, often have drastically reduced reactivity and thus lack the ability to adequately fight back against vehicles like this. Bare minimum they will be track and barrel tortured. Further, you can uptier ANY VEHICLE YOU WISH AT ANY TIME. You CANNOT downtier a vehicle, ever.

The post pen on most 35mm spaa is the main problem, they can one shot u through the cupola and get crazy ricochets that’s end up destroying a tank.
