Oh I didn’t buy the Fuji. I have a few buddies that buy me tanks because they want them, and want someone to play them with,
For example:
M1 KVT
M1128 Wolfpack
M1a1 click bait
T-69IIA
ZtZ99A
Somua
AMX-30
F-4S
AH-64 (the USA one)
VRCC
XM-1 (Chrysler)
Fuji
Leo a1a1
Leo 2a4
Two fronts pack
And a few other tanks are all vehicles someone else bought me as they wanted it too.
I personally bought as far as I can remember:
KA-50
Mi-24D (before it was a pack)
Bmd-4m
IS-6
T14
T29
M4 (FL10)
Tiger II
KW-1C
Turm III
Chi nu II
Etc.
defo worth getting some use out of the Somua, that thing is incredible in a 7.7 lineup. 20pdr apds can only pen you in a couple spots in the turret frontally. your only major threat is early ATGMs and soviet heavies
The somua definitely has its threats. But I do think the battle pass amx t090/930 needs to go back to 7.7 as 8.0 is a bit insane for a lightly armored big medium with 185 pen.
What kills me, is the Aubl can hardly pen it which is odd as it has a 249mm pen round. But I think gaijin just hate Italy / the Aubl / the m300 round.
That’s what I do, but the 60mm m300 has the exact same damage as the 30mm rarden for some dumb reason. Not to mention it’s egregious reload for such a small shell.
The speed is slower than the BTR80, fox, eland, etc.
It’s HP per ton is like 19.1 fox has double it lol.
They really need to balance its reload to like 3.5 - 3.75 secs.
And fix the spalling to spall 16.6% more than the rarden.
THEN, any ONLY THEN the Aubl may be a good 8.0
Only problem is, it doesn’t really fit any br good. 8.0 is fine, but it needs a lot of buffing.
Nor do I try head on attacks.
Take a look at this thread, especially the video I sent.
the RARDEN 30mm is one of the few guns with a good amount of spalling. I have no idea where gaijin things the metal punched out of the armour and shaved off of the projectile go but it apparently goes nowhere
You will enjoy the centurions and conqueror a lot but you will start to notice quite often there is zero spall.
The fox has been suffering from shell shatterings a lot since the update too even on flat paper armour I’m getting screwed over, I died to a TAM today after not being able to pen it anywhere frontally because of 15 shatters
I haven’t had that issue in the fox, other than, again the T34, T29, and T26e5 their armor seems to shatter it a lot, and I don’t think it can even pen a T26E5
ooo i love the mk2. Tiger 1 cant touch you frontally unless there’s a gaijin moment and you can run and gun in a way no other nation can until 8.0. Shell shatters arent that bad on 17pdr apds but its still too frequent, people overblow how bad it is.
play it for a while when you get the chance. most the time its fine and then you get like 20 in a row out of nowhere
I already spaded the fox awhile ago. After I made the post asking why the fox isn’t 8.0, next to the fox, the USh and it were the easiest nukes I had ever gotten, both were ironically stock at the time. Perhaps it was a bit do luck, but the fox it a rather powerful tank.
I really want to play the AMX-T090/930 but at 8.0 it’s not worth it
the CVRW just lends itself really well to the aggressive flanker playstyle while also being able to take some quality potshots from further than you would expect. I killed a leo 1 from over a km away with APHE when spading the scimitar so its very doable with the sabot.
My first nuke was in the fox and I’ve gotten close to them in it more than any other vehicle however as you struggle with the XM800 I do think there was a mix of being more confident in it (you’ve seen what players can do in the thing, knowing how high its potential is can really boost you) and some real luck.
I take the thing to every BR from 7.7 as it does quite well no matter where. it just cant handle facing stabilised vehicles and is quite dependant on enemy skill when you are facing them
Yeah… its one thing when complex bug reports go ignored (I have one about 8 months old now, regarding a bug that affects every single aircraft HUD that has sight modes, yet to be fixed) but its another when its really simple stuff, like removing the sooty exhaust from the Harriers.
