SAV Spam

BT-7 F-32 is faster than the M24 Chaffee…
These aren’t M18s, or EBRs.

Not sure why you think SAVs are seals…

@Ion_Protogen
I test drove it, and played similar and better vehicles.
And no, they are common.
I see one at least once a day when playing 4.0.
If not every other match to every match.

They are common now because it is on sale, and is widely regarded as a very good, and very annoying tank. Test driving a tank does not give you perfect knowledge of it.

It is incredibly strong, but its weaknesses aren’t that hard to exploit.

Moving it to 4.0 won’t kill it. Plus, Sweden has a lineup at 4.0 so it changes nearly nothing. The only difference is that it now won’t face 2.7 tanks.

My man test driving it wont give you an idea of how it works. For aircraft it can give you an idea of flight performance, but for ground viecles…

Anyways I am now an expert in the Strv 121 ‘Christian II’ because I test drove it, cope.

I hate to say it, but test driving isn’t the same as experiencing real combat with it. I have experience fighting it, when it ambushes, it’s annoying asl, when it’s moving, it’s a joke of a target.

Ah yes, insults from SAV defenders misquoting me and creating strawman fallacies to argue against themselves.

Also, M5A1 is a good SAV killer.

The rest of the quote. Literally hundreds of hours of experience using case mates, and understanding them well.

Keep insulting everyone that criticizes your precious SAV that isn’t as good as you claim it is, all you do is prove their statements correct by insulting them, misrepresenting them, and never addressing their points.

Aight imma be real
what similar viecles

Cause there aint anything with a 1.2s reload at that BR as far as I know.

Literally everyone has said FOR YEARS that its busted, and even its TS stats support it.

And its a premium.

Thunderskill is less than 2% of the active playerbase.
It misrepresents the total amount of battles by a factor large enough to only account for <2% of total battles in War Thunder.
Thunderskill records 3140 F-4S battles in the last month.
That is 314 hours of gameplay.

Thunderskill is not a reliable source of data, especially when its data is also the better players on average.

As for similar vehicles… Jagdpanzer IV comes to mind, the most OP vehicle in the game 2nd to none.
It holds hands more than mothers.
Fast fire rate means nothing when you can’t pen any of the shots.
“Panzer 2 has a fast fire rate. What equivalent vehicles have you used! Panzer 2 is OP!”

SAV 20 exploits players lack of knowledge on fighting unarmored things cause most low-armor vehicles aren’t used often.
It’s good at fragging eh players, and that’s about it.

The Sherman III/IV is a better tank, as is the T-34, and Panzer IV, and IKV-103…

I… have no words, to be honest. This is going down in my quotes of all time, because holy shit this is a wild take.

@Zyranovos get a load of this lmao

To be completely fair, the Sherman III/IV is a beast, as is anything with angled armor, like the T-34, the Panzer IV does have a lot of pen, but that’s the only thing going for it, and, really… the IKV-103, that one tank that has HEAT-FS that over-penetrates so much it would make any guy leave to get milk?

The Sherman, is a Sherman, not bad, not good. The T-34 is “Russian bias” with that UFP, but the gun is garbage. Oh, and the Pz.IV, slow, unwieldy gun, and 75mm of “I’m gonna stop every shell known to man”

IKV-103 is not better than the Sav. Its armour is just as weak, if not weaker, it is considerably slower, has way worse post pen damage, and a longer reload. What it does better is gun depression, and pen.

It is overall a much worse tank.

What can I say, I never saw value in a 94mm penning 1.2 second reload open top case mate.
Ah, the KV-1E pens less, guess the armor makes up for that.

Yeah, me hating on the SAV because I find it stupidly over-rated may be a hot take, and it’s still a correct take.

Pro:
Fast autoloader
900g of explosive filler
Good mobility
Cons:
Open top
Thin armour
Only 3 crew
Only 6 rounds in autoloader

I say 4.0 would be balanced.

Yeah, that’s how the balance of heavy tanks works…

It is well and complete in having is boundaries and abilities, while the armor and crew are lackluster, the ammo is a nuke (if it penetrates), you only have three crew, but you have a 1.2 second reload, which means making accidents gives time to take a second shot. It’s not as OP as people say, it’s just a really really good ambush tank, I find that people play it similarly in style to how I play the Walker Bulldog (leKPz M41)

Also a correct take, just a different perspective to my own.

Dont complain it is almost never on sale has no armor at all and lacks penetration(just like u)

You just gotta adapt and overcome.The only good thing about it is the reload.
