This Tank Is Cursed

Ойындар

Decal link: tinyurl.com/42thwzv3
The French tech tree in War Thunder often sees rather harsh battle rating changes. The Char 25t light tank is the best example. It can now fight MBTs like the T-62, T-55, and Object 279 while not having any major advantage.

    I found it hilarious how people were like, “Yeah that lineup is too strong at 7.7” At what stage does it become player skill? Every French tank can easily be killed by competitors. The APHE autoloaders require flanking, unlike the obj at 8.0 that can frontally pen most stuff at the BR. French vehicles were fine at 7.7.

    BatChat was developed in 1954. it was one of the most modern tanks at 7.7. for example, the m48, centurion and Is4m were all rolling off the production line in 1945-47. at 8.0 it is still far more modern than the t54 series, the t54-1 (in game listed as the t54 1947) completed its trials in 1945 and entered serial production in 1947 and 1949. the t55 was developed in 1953 and entered production in 1955 and it sits a 8.7 at the same BR as the TAM and other tanks from the 70/80s like the Cheiftain.

    I still want to know what the EBR 1951 is at 5.3 when the nearest vehicle in capability is the AMX-13 FL11 at 4.0 and is about on par with the Chaffee in capability. The fucking PT-76 stayed at 5.3 with a massive reload buff and 200mm HEATFS round and cold war stabilizer. The EBR 1951 is at 5 point fucking 3 with the Sherman gun which is only marginally better than the Puma's gun and has faster turret traverse. How can they have such disparate BR's for vehicles with such similar capabilities. Even within the French tree itself as I said, the AMX-13 FL11 is not significantly worse than the EBR 1951, maybe by .3 at best and it's 1.3 higher... Gaijin sucks, I quit the game because they consistently make the worst decisions I've ever seen in my life.

    @@adamg7984 Because the game caters to its worse and stupid playerbase (Usually those who play the Big 3. US,USSR,Germany) The EBR excels at flanking and most of these players have tunnel vision and only look foward. Because of this usually good players decide to stick with france. And as result because only good players play France, gaijin sees the stats and could decide to raise the br. The Char 25t is also victim of this. Another french vehicle that was at 7.3 and is now at 8.0. 8.0 is notorious for pretty much being only full uptiers, and the char 25t ends up being matched up against fully stabilized vehicles. While the char 25t has no stabilizers, no heat rounds, no sabot rounds. No laser range finder. In a full uptiers it has no chance.

    This thing and the RCV have a similar history regarding balancing. Originally 7.3 non-stabilized vehicle with no thermals or lrf and it keeps going up in BR all the way to 8.0/9.0. Frontal lethality is limited, requiring flanking and map knowledge to reliably do well. As the vehicle BR gets raised, less and less people play it leaving only the most confident players taking the vehicle out which continues to inflate player stats driving it up even more.

    Whenever Spook plays anything that's supposed to be bad or over-tiered: Nobody sees him, or hears him. Everyone advances without a care in the world, pushes corners without checking. No one notices when teammates die right next to them. Every single tank, except those it's literally incapable of killing, immediately exposes their side, rear, or weak spot. Most long-range shots he takes hit not only dead on, but in a weak spot he wasn't even aiming for. I'm so fucking tired of having the most ridiculously bad, borderline supernatural bad luck in War Thunder for fucking YEARS now, then I see people get battles like this, expecting to do badly, and ending up doing better than I can do in my best, luckiest battles. It's torture, and I just want it to end.

    50t90 is basically the same except its bigger and a little bit more mobile (char25t top speed being better isnt better overall mobility). But the worst part about this is that you almost everytime get uptiered to 9.0. Its still playable but you have to flank and camp a lot so its not as fun as it was before.

    1:08 When you are tilted, your sights are also a bit to the side, so you have to put the "phantom line" on the target coming from the middle, not the vertical line that's already there. Phantom line is a line that is always vertical to the world and not to the sights. You have to imagine it there. You have to draw a line downward that's exactly the same amount of degrees away from the shown line as the amount of degrees your vehicle/sight is tilted.

    I may be slightly biased but I don't mind the uptier, when I first got the thing when it was 7.3 I used it in my 8.3 lineup to begin with, still works just fine. It has M82 so if you do pen it's almost guaranteed to die, and it's relatively easy to flank and ignore armour anyway. As for what I meant by biased, the Char alone has gotten me 5 nukes

    The OF40 gets a laser rangefinder and its suspension is so good that firing one the move at top speed is pretty easy.... The Char is probably going to face the same problem with all french tanks in that only the good players play them because they are pretty bad compared to everything else which will make Gajin do what they have always done with "balancing."
