Whatever lineup you do well in or whatever BR you have a full line-up around.

Personally for events like this i try to do WW2/Post WW2 line-ups as you have CAS that help a lot. You don’t really have to worry about Missile Spaa and also most have full line-ups around that BR so the games usually last longer.

As for the score, You can rush caps then spawn CAS. Or go into spots what overlook cap points. Each map is different and everyone plays differently so you will get mixed answers in regards to the score.

I was just meaning what things give the most mission score lol (thanks for the advice thought)

Still 6.0? I was hoping it would be lower, so it could be paired with T14

Oh, Well in terms of score multipliers Rank VII - VIII Gives the most at (1.2x) General score would be just to cap points & get kills i guess.

Sb also is (1.8x) Rb being (1.33x)

That’s gonna be useless on any of the game’s maps?

For this event, during the D-Day anniversary month, the Sherman DD would have been a more appropriate event vehicle, having seen action during the invasion of Normandy, unlike this prototype, in my humble opinion.

However, this is fine. I will definitely be getting this.

110%. Missed opportunity to add a different Amphib. vehicle

5.3 in Arcade, disappointing, no BR advantage over M18.

Can we expect more specialized amphibious vehicles like the EFV, BMMP or the ZBD05? Those are interesting addition despite War Thunder not featuring proper maps to accommodate these vehicles to be useful.

Hello,

Totally agree.

Fun thing : I just tested the T86 and it seems to me that the rudder is inverted while in the water.
Turning right, the paddles should turn to left side, and same in reverse. Model seems incorrect.

no its correct same as boat steering, turn right to go right, left to go left

Hello,

I just made a screenshot, this is a turn to the right : (better than producing a confusing text)

Paddles should be in the other direction while in the water

EDIT : I created a bug report here :

huh that is an issue but you stated it the other way around originally.

Could be my confusing description indeed!

Depends on where you look to the paddle, but it’s really clearer when you test it, or on my screeshot (my reference was the forward part of the paddle, which should go on the left when turning right).

Why is the SL modifier so bad that i could just play most of TT vehicles? 300% vs 345%…
meanwhile the Prem hellcat has 405% which is already superbad for a prem… T14 at 4.7 has already 405% and SuperHellcat 465%…T34-85E has 525% at 5.7…M64 at 5.3 405%…Pz4 at 3.7 has 420%…
Hell even the German Trio Pack has a higher modifier. The SMK for 1300 Gold will get you the same amount of SL at 3.7… even the 5.3 M41 light tank prem has more with 390% for just 3000 Gold.

345% is so insanely bad… u cant even call it a Premium at this point
