This Tank Beats Everything

In War Thunder's recent Drone Age update, a lot of tanks received some serious bug fixes. The American TCM AGS probably received the biggest upgrade, as it shed three tons of weight and received an extra 100hp to its engine. You might not think these would have a huge impact since the AGS was already pretty fast, but they do. The AGS can now keep pace with wheeled vehicles like the Rooikat. The TCM AGS is now one of the strongest light tanks in the US tank tech tree, if not the strongest. It also looks like the Scorpion tank from Halo, hence the title.

A skilled M1A2 loader can load the main gun in 3 sec there is a reason why some US tanks/weaponry not like in IRL For example the HSTVL has burst fire mode M829A2 has anti ERA tip, DM53 as well AH64D has access to AGM114L ( gaijin denied it because to OP what is true even with singele target tracking ) or we not going to see Javelin missile for obvious reason How funny that RU TT can get all the historical accurate stuff but not other nations

@@csorbalaszlo1920 this is not just the case for the m1a2, even the type 10 autoloader has been timed at 2.5 seconds. What people need to realize is that Gaijin and many others have explained that this is not a sustained rate of fire and just because one example can be taken doesn't mean it applies everywhere. Gaijin takes the average loading time or slightly alters it for balancing purposes, I believe spookston has explained this himself when it comes to the HSTVL fire rate (correct me if I'm wrong). 😊

It doesn't give you depression it just gives you the ability to guide the missile downwards more. The missile is still launched in the direction that the launcher is in. For example in the rakjpz(HOT) I screwed myself multiple times by using gun elevation, and the missile just went above them because it didn't have enough time to turn.
I've seen a lot of people complaining about how hard it is to get the high tier event vehicles, my question to Gaijin is: Why add some cool event vehicles if 10 people at most are gonna be able to grind them out?

This really would work as the Scorpion for the UNSC. Switch the gun for some sort of mini mac gun/gauss rifle, maybe some atgms or aa missiles on side mounted pods on the gun to give it that scorpion turret look and give later models an energy shield or something and there you go, could even maybe have handholds on the side, since marines love to crawl all over vehicles in Halo lol

2:27 I got to see an irl example of that RDF-LT you love, today. I believe it was in running condition. In person, it seems unassuming due to its shortness and was dwarfed by the EFV next to it. Then you realize that the RDF-LT's gun is fully automatic and 76mm, the same caliber as the cannon on many modern destroyers. AAI figured out how to put a fully automatic naval gun on a vehicle that is as nearly tall as a Prius.

I absolutely love this tank, partly because it looks exactly like what I had drawn up in high school before I even got deep into tanks.
And I was considering selling mine. Thanks for convincing me othervise Spookston :) And I have a suggestion: "What if the War Thunder SPz. Puma was historically accurate". With the sheer ammount of Bug Reports, the SPz. Puma is probably in the Top 5 of War Thunders most bugged vehicles.
I was very surprised to see this thing get a buff, it was already my favorite 9.7 vehicle besides maybe the tow wiesel

You should play the T92 light tank at some point just because of it's weird characteristics. 6.2s reload with no autoloader, fairly survivable layout, slow acceleration but with a good top speed, good APDS and HEAT-FS but sucky APCR.

I asked yester for a revisit on this tank, and its already here:D
I'm happy I got it during the event I always liked it and now it's even better glad to be a ags believer from the start.
hey bro. you can actually lock onto targets with droness like you do with helicopters. you just have to set key binds. makes it even easier
I use the TCM AGS in my 11.0/3 line up. Such a good tank.
Yes
Could you make a video on the amx30? I wonder what’s your opinion on such tank is, given how it’s such a unique but weird tank, seems so innovative but also obsolete at the same (like the use of heat not heatfs, non stabilizer and the fact it didn’t have any composite armor almost 10 years after the T-64 entered service
I'd love to see you play the Type 63-I I recently unlocked it and it's pretty painful. Especially the stock grind.
Hey so a pretty interesting tank that I think you should try is the M728 CEV. Just wanted to put that out there. It's a really fun vehicle to use.
It'd be cool to see you play the AMX-10RC. I love that vehicle, and only just found out the other day that it has hydropneumatic suspension!
Not sure if you know this or not but you can lock targets with the drone missiles by pressing the button linked to target designator
The Halo 2 cameo was beautiful :)
Play the T-26E. An up-armored variant of the soviet T-26 that got discontinued as a starter bundle and moved to the market. It is insane how tanky the T-26E is, like a Maus but at low tier.
Probably the event vehicle that I'm most happy that I grinded for tbh, still should get M833 seeing as it BR WILL go up up
From what Wikipedia says the AGS/Teledyne Light Tank was rejected because the autoloader was extremely unreliable and was later fixed for the Stryker MGS

Practically speaking, the rear mounted turret set up with the main crew vision so far below the gun is also bad news in the field.
Man I ate fighting AGS kids who always hull down, the remotely operated turret is so annoying because the only thing you can do is hit the breach or cannon which are tiny targets and you cant kill any crew or ammo rack them.

Hey Spookston, if you don't mind me asking, what are your 3rd person and 1st person sight sensitivities?
Discussions about the game and tanks aside he just obliterated half the enemy team in every clip he showed lol
Honestly, I feel like the reason the Army picked the M8 way back when is because they looked at the size of that turret and went "yeah you can probably stuff a 120mm in there". Either that or wanting to phase out the L7/M68 gun and not wanting to be too conspicuous. Or it just boils down to the same reason the F-22 and F-35 were chosen over their competitors: It just looks more conventional and therefore definitely won't have budget overruns!
What are people thoughts on the CCVL getting a proper APFSDS round (M833) vs export (C76A1), but no changes for the AGS or XM8 to get even M774?
I feel as though this tank would be easy to deploy from a ship that may be rated for atmosphere
Spookston, can you look into how the drones are not balanced ? The chinese drone is a lot worse compared to the MQ and Orion, which is realistic but I do not think with a "killstreak" there should be such imbalance. They hit a lot less, they have 2KM less range (which makes a big difference since you often spawn 1-2KM outside of the range for the Wing Long, forcing you to fly closer to enemy SPAA) and less pen (thought tandem so not that big of a deal)
I once spent nearly two minutes trying to shooth down a recon drone in arcade with a dam bmp-2m
That thing even sneezes wrong it'll kill a family of 4
