Dawg if you can’t accept that idk what to tell you. Russians, US, Germany, etc every has propaganda films…
ackshually… the soviets outfitted a d-10t with a two-plane stab in 1952

D-10T is a gun, not a tank, and the 2-plane stabilised version apparently wasn’t fitted to a production tank until 1957 or so.
I’m sure most or all of the main powers were playing with 2 plane stabs before 1952 - so perhaps the Centurion was the first production tank fitted with it as standard??

No, its a news documentary/film that is showing off emerging technology. Calling British Pathe propaganda for showing emerging tech is akin to saying Nat Geo is propaganda for showing off wildlife or calling Reuters propaganda xD
Sure they would be a little OTT at times with the hype side of things, but it was one of the few news and documentary groups of its day and is the forerunner of video/motion picture news. Its original name was Pathe News, its “modern name” is British Pathe (to help differ from its French origins).
Generally speaking, Pathe has a history of accuracy for showing historical events.

Sure - but that is GENERALLY SPEAKING… and this particular one is produced with the obvious active participation of the British Army and IS propaganda - albeit in an understated “very British” manner :)

I have played French vehicles and the strv 103
Fast reload has its limits
Currently doesnt seem to have a improved rangefinder in the dev which is a shame, hopefully WIP

Soooooo
It reloads it’s autoloader without any crew for the same amount of time as Somua SM with aces while having separate loading and just the shells weighting 2 times more than complete shots on french 100mm because…Why?
Even better. T30 with the SAME gun and TWO loaders in a much larger turret needs more time to load 1 shot than T58 with 1 loader

Because sitting for 3-5 minutes to load a single round is boring and counter to gameplay?
Yea 8.7 or 9.0 material ngl
how come? 6 shots and out, pretty meh mobility, no stab, no kinetic ammo
yeah the turret ammo looks pretty good (though you can just oneshot it with good enough aphe)
(heat just melts it basically anywhere btw)
ngl i expect a reload nerf, something closer to 5 or 6 seconds, and an addition of other shells like HE or APHE from T30

It has a 3.8 sec reload. If that’s not enough…
22.8 Kg hesh I think is what I saw? Point blank Anyone, even a maus, and it’s mostly likely dead.
HEAT with 408 pen, and 3.74 Kg mass I think.
And a rumored APHE…
Totally broken for 8.0
That thing will kill ALL heavy tanks 7.0 and up, and it may get penned by somethings but I feel like it will be quite trolly
btw the HESH is just very dumb lmao
nuke shell… travelling at WHOOPING 259m/s

It’s slow sure, but under 100m your killing anything.
worth noting that this is regular ww2 era heat, it has some really wonky damage (atleast it does it test drive)
this particular spot is very consistent, its a flat angle basically
eh… idk man, it has the potential, but i dont think gaijin will leave it as is, the reload is probably going up
test it? On the test server frankly I find the HEAT way more reliable to 1 shotting targets. Still think I would rather an AMX 50 over it generally.
The HESH would be very interesting if gaijin gave it the proper rangefinder abilities and gave us better ranging tables and not have us rely on player made ones for accuracy (scrolling 4 times and every single one claiming to be 600m is a joke)
edit: also note, its HEAT, not HEAT-FS and all the problems the post pen entails. edit: though i will say the HE after effect is neat.
