British tanks in general playing WW2.no armour , fire potatoes and no reverse for when the solid shot bounces off Stalinium or does no damage to artillery .Can’t even shoot at CAS, No roof MG.
The last BP event vehicle: PBM-5A Mariner.
4 test drive matches in Air RB - never ever again.
2 times my team died before i was at 4 km - i landed and j out
1 time the enemy team was dead before i could drop
1 time (last match) i bombed all 3 bases and af, but sea mines did not work…
I skimmed through the entire discussion and found that no one mentioned the FCM.36 lol. This glorious disaster of a French light tank was so epically, unapologetically bad that it didn’t just scare me off the French tech tree—it sent me fleeing in the opposite direction until 2020. Yes, three long years after French ground forces made their grand entrance. Truly, FCM.36, you’re not just a tank; you’re a legend of unplayability. Bravo, FCM.36, bravo—you’ve achieved what no other vehicle could: comedic perfection in failure.
A firing arc so steep it doubles as a mortar, shell penetration so weak it might as well be throwing pebbles, snail-like speed that makes even the heaviest tanks look like Formula 1 racers, a turret that turns slower than a sloth on holiday, a reverse gear that simply doesn’t exist, a silhouette so tall it blocks out the sun, and—chef’s kiss—just two poor souls sitting in a straight line. This isn’t just bad; it’s an art form. Truly, the FCM.36 is the Michelangelo of “unplayable” tanks.
We all know that is bad… If not you guys won’t delete it from researchable vehicle😅😅😅
My worst vehicles are never judged by actual vehicle performance - but how fun they are to play. So for me, the worst vehicles are top-tier MBTs. Absolutely no redeeming value when it comes to enjoying them. Prefer earlier MBTs at BRs that have some actual character.

Ah, but in the off chance you do actually reach the battlefield, you can exploit the vehicle’s only strength; it’s proportionally thick armor, to brawl with enemies at close range.
The gun reloads quick enough that you can knock tracks and barrels for a slow but inevitably painful destruction of the opposition.
It’s still an incredibly ineffective vehicle for being at the lowest BR possible, but at least you have armor to fall back on.
And even then, there’s still an option to improve the performance of the SA18 if Gaijin is so generous.
Wouldn’t say armor is the only strength of le cône. No other tank ever built or even dreamed of has the character of the FCM-36. I mean, have you seen that glorious aesthetic? Hon hon hon.

For me the AB-205 makes the top of the list.
does it still fires ghost shells like crazy?
Yes, and F105, F111s, they are easy preys in both air and ground rb. The current game modes and gameplay greatly undermine the functionality of tactic/attacker bombers of this kind. Their only purpose in this game is to increase your grinding time and difficulties.
I’m not sure if these are ghost shells, more like shells which hit but don’t do any damage or only make enemy crews yellow.

Sure, but at least many attackers even within the bombers’ respective BR ranges are generally more agile with front-facing fixed weaponry compared to most bombers.
The Thud and Vark are well past the bomber BR range, and have better capabilities, as well. Yes, they are still food though for the most part - Unless you catch someone unaware or beat them in a head-on.
The most unfun thing about playing top tier MBT is whenever I managed to survived past 2 minutes then suddenly a big bomb teleported to the top of my turret and sound TIIINGGG then I blow up, happens very often as it feels like my tank just randomly explodes, I mean if I play harder, give all my hours in and strive for excellence, one day I can dodge the bombs right?

The French 1.0 tank was bad enough to be removed as a reserve with 37mm of pen or something, (it was the worst)

It’s not even bad. It’s low speed and bomb sight make it great for bomb extermination.
Imo F-84F is far worse
So you are wasting hours on a crap game right? Yeah the penny drops eventually

if you “randomly explode” then you are actually dying to guided bombs or bombs with no time fuzes top tier mbts aren’t bad when cas isn’t there, also if you struggling to survive more than two minutes then you need to play at a lower tier to relearn the basics (no offence)
Yeah bro I’ve choose to stay lower these days as my heart couldn’t take it, at the rate I randomly blows up I would be dead by heart attack.
And bro you should try Germany or USSR, maybe their vehicles will fit your playstyle more.

It does seem like so may top tier players are not enjoying top tier though,its not just one person.
As long as you treat this game as a hobby and you continue progressing with education, career, family, other goals - it’s not a waste. Though, if people think that the only purpose of this game is to get to top-tier and stay there, they have probably wasted their time. The real fun is in the journey.
