9.0 because it can’t be uptiered to 10.3.
There is M551 (76). It’s price has recently gone up quite a bit tho, it used to cost like 40gjn
Any big fans of this vehicle? I’ve played about 30 games in it, and I don’t know - APDS feels a bit lacking when you’re firing it out of a 76mm gun. A vehicle I’d thought I would love more than I have. Will have to give it another run and see if I can find the magic with it.
It is absolutely great. Sure APDS is lacking, but if you aim well, you will get your kills. Full stabiliser gives it a huge advantage at this BR and it’s survivability is way higher than it should have ever been. It’s thin enough for many APHE shells to not fuse, i’ve survived many shots from tanks like IS-2 or Jagdtiger. Commader being able to operate the gun helps out a lot too.
Besides low ammo count and sometimes lacking APDS it is a perfect light tank for it’s BR

Me and American light tanks in a nut shell. Haha, nah, if I can drag myself away from US 6.7, I’ll be giving the 76 M551 a good run in a week or so. Need (want) to fix my winrate in it, anyhow.
9.7 Japan Ground
AV-8S (Early) + Alpha Jet TH [CAS], T-2 + T-2 Early [CAP / CAS]
AH-1S / AH-1E [Atk Heli]
ICV/RCV (P) [Light Recon / Flank], Type 16 [Sniper], Type 74 (E/F/G) [MBT] , Type 93 [SPAA]
You can also bring Type 89 as anti-tank (ATGM / 120mm pen), Type 87 RCV (Faster flank), Type 87 (SPAA w/ Radar), Type 16 (P/FPS) (essentially Type 16 w/o better APDSFS).
A lot of vehicles at this rating have a weak side or are less armoured, so Type 87/89 or RCV/ICV work very well, Type 16 / Type 74 as head-on killers / snipers, Type 93 can get into good positions very quick (mitigating 4-5km Missile range), AV-8S/Alpha Jet TH/A with CCIP Zuni / Mk82 + Good A2A Missiles, T-2 as a supersonic intercept or light CAS (Rockets or Bombs w/o CCIP, 40mm pen gattling)
11.3 Japan
9.7 UK

9.3 Germany

There’s others I like playing, such as 10.7 UK, 10.3 Russia, 8.7 Israel (currently unlocking 9.3 Israel).
The 11.3 japanese is my go to “top tier” lineup, although I have the 12. unlocked but I don’t like it as much.
Overall a big fan of the 8.7-9.7 br so thats why I try to stick to it whenever I can. Most nations have good lineups on those br’s, with good CAS and good SPAA, at the same time CAS doesn’t feel “broken” or SPAA for that matter.
I play 5.7 US M4A3E2, T1E1, M4A2 76(w), M6A1.
Get yourself F4U-4B and AM-1 on top of that
Oh i have F4u4b!
Absolutely amazing CAS plane. I usually go with 2x 500LB and 8x HVAR
for me, 2 1000lb and 4 250lb
Once you learn how to aim them properly, HVARs are absolutely brutal, for some reaosn they work exceptionally well on the F4U-4B (maybe due to specific angle they are mounted at? Idk)
I usually clear out whole enemy team from AAs with them from over 1km distance and then use the bombs
i drop rockets accurate… at least in AB
I don’t usually play AB. Is there CCIP for rockets in arcade?
No.
In RB once i kill a tank with an rocket but also an allied plane…
If you are good with rockets without CCIP in AB, i guess you should give them a try in RB. It’s very good for clearing out AAs
yep
add friend?
add friend hesh?
