ZTS63 and OBJ 211

These two vehicles are the same thing just the ZTS63 is 7.7 with APFSDS, not even good dart, laser rangefinder and a 50 cal on top. The ZTS63 is not good, I propose The addition of a Stab and a small increase of turret rotation speed to ~12 degrees per second. With the changes it would be either 8.0 or 8.3. This would be ahistorical but the game does not need to be 100% accurate. A comparable vehicle is the OBJ 906 that is sitting at 8.0 stabilized and has a great aphe round with a 4.3 second reload and a much quicker turret traverse.

By the way OBJ-211 is the 5.0 one, Type-63 is 6.3 and ZTS-63 is the 7.7 one.

yeah yeah all the same mb too similar type 6.3 has a .4 second faster reload

did it historically have a stabiliser?

5

You wont find much info on the topic, but is believe to be ahistorical (by me)

It seems to me we have three type 63s at different times in its life, with slightly different modification for the era they were used

6

in that case i object to it getting a stabiliser until concrete evidence shows they had them

7

what about other ahistorical vehicles in the game?

8

have ahistorical issues fixed to represent a historically accurate version of that vehicle. As for completely fake vehicles and weapons like the HO-RI or KH38MT complete removal from the game

the ZTS63 in game was the same thing as the type 63 irl but in game they gave it apfsds, while both irl could use this round. what they could do is remove this ZTS63 and replace it with the ZTS63A that did have a stab and a 105 gun with addon armor but this would likely be a higher br

Why does a glass cannon with slow turret traverse meant to sit back and snipe with apfsds and lrf need to be at the frontline with stab?

tbf it’s not like you get a choice with War Thunders 99.9% blind corner street fighting map rotation

Few issues with sniping 1. depression, most people would literally find u can’t snipe at all in 90% of scenarios cause u have 4 degree depression. 2. Armour, u can have little armour but this little does affect u cause most machine guns will pen u no prob and those do start to pop up around this BR range. 3. As the other guy said, many maps have no sniping spots available, streetfights are the mainstay of many maps, such as Sweden. 4. bad reverse speed, gets u killed loads of times. 5. not so great of a problem but reload speed does suck with an 85mm at this sort of BR, especially pre apfsds.

Another stealth issue with sniping is u are taking so many of ur down sides, and meanwhile ur maybe one upside as a light tank is u are fast, and that is just completely given up if u snipe.

Wish I could vote, but the 8.0 lineup to is just too good + you have one of the best SPAAs in the game there (WZ305). I can never come up with a scenario where I’d ever use the ZTS63.

Nah I much rather see Type 62G at 8.3 to complement ZTZ59D1(or replace it if its sent to 9.0), I had a good time with ZTS-63 you are not expected to kill several vehicles with it but at supporting is great, if anything I wish there were more mediums tanks apart from the crappy M48
