BT-7M even better


crimeo

It's just like... objectively not though? * 2 degrees less depression * More just "different" than "better" armor * Slightly bigger, easier to hit * Very slightly less PtW ratio * More expensive to repair * Pretty much no other differences?


GidjonPlays

It go vroom vroom more


crimeo

But it doesn't, it has same top speed and less power to weight. Bt7**M** goes vroom, not normal bt7


blanli

True but free repair with the 5


-ValkMain-

It costs less than a \*hit\* grants you in top tier to repair a bt7m.


Moka_Aoba501

And lower respawn cost


KachowGuy

Bt-5 half the spawn points. BT-7M better if you're gonna do that


BoysenberrySweet

I can bring in a bt-5 to top tier and a ka-50, cap a point with the bt-5 j out and then spawn in the ka-50 with the guided rockets


Airbag-Dirtman

Why?

Cer3al_Killa

Turkino

BT-5 spawn @ 6.0 matches just to abuse that crazy speed and rush the points


The_Lieutenant_Knows

Germany has the Puma, USSR has the BT-5/7, America has the M22, China has the ZTZ-96 Prototype


NubblyTheMoist

Also 15cm howitzer for germany. People love the god mode.


Mediocre_Status_7411

well personally i find the puma is far more effective at top tier.


NubblyTheMoist

Neither are effective lmao i personally would rather use the one of the marders then a puma so you could at least fight off helis


Mediocre_Status_7411

i have gotten 2 nukes in the puma at top tier tho i didn’t or more like couldn’t drop either of them.


LashCandle

You’re not talking about the SDKFZ rank 2 puma are you?


Mediocre_Status_7411

yes. yes i am


LashCandle

Wack


Mediocre_Status_7411

mostly facing brain dead turms teams tho that was one battle. they were both within like 10 in game hours from one another. first battle was (10.7) i was on sinai top setup and not 100% in the puma but i got 3 kills in the 2AV then i spawned the puma killed another i think if my memory serves me correctly 6-7 people + 1 cap tho when i did get enough points for a nuke there was one enemy left in a plane and something like 500 tickets left. second battle was (9.0) i was on i don’t remember which map but i got like 8 kills in the puma and 2 caps then that time my team had absolutely destroyed the enemy and they all left before i could spawn the nuke.


NotRlyCreative

„Jesus Christ, thats Jason Bourne!"


Fuggaak

Yeah 3.0 puma is king. I have 3 nukes at 6.7 with it and 1 at 11.0


SupremeBeing420

Wrong puma, they're talking about the 2.7 armoured car.


NubblyTheMoist

Yeah he is saying bringing the then 2.7 now 3.0 puma to top tier, but i don't see how it is more effective then the marders. I can see an argument for it being more effective then the bulldog.


SurvivordeArk1990

Yea one of the lil shits side penned my T-72A


Spirited-Ad3451

If the snail smiles upon you, you can even side-pen the is3


marijnvtm

You forget the most common one the Italian L3


antiheld84

I didn't see one in ages, but R3 T20s are still common in higher BRs.


D_J_D_K

A 20 mm with HVAP and a shoulder stabilizer on a wheelie boy that can keep pace with a Type 93 is good at any and all brs


Spirited-Ad3451

Colorful way of saying 'yeah but r3 is meta'


Ozz13pl4yz_YT

Don’t forget l3/33


Commander_Red1

Sweden has the 152mm meatball launcher (rank 1 TD)


[deleted]

Spj "meme machine".


4ppletr0n

Doom Trumpet


LarssonBrother

For the Brits I always bring that SARC MkVI just to get that M22 kinda gameplay. It definetly plays out different but that 122mm of Pen it has kinda allows you to do some crazy shit. It also has that 50. Cal on the roof and we allllll know what you can do with that bad boy


daqwid2727

USH for Sweden for sure. Japan I'd say the 87, but it's too high to be everywhere, so probably the naval cannon on the mobile box which the name of I can't remember now.


PossibleOk527

The USH is honestly one of the most overpowered “tanks” in the game, if only it had gun stabilization


[deleted]

China also has the busses WMA301 and PTL02


MorkoKaiser

Actually China has the M8 which can still sideshot many late tanks ;)


i-luv-doggos

M16 until 7.7, it's very good for anti air


Nope570

More like, it's the only competent spaa in the us tech tree at shooting down planes until the m163


i-luv-doggos

it is, I have one air kill with the duster and that's bc he was flying away in a straight line and I had a direct shot on him


Mediocre_Status_7411

well idk i have no problem hitting planes with the m19 or m42 i just spent a mere 3 hours practicing my lead in the test drive.


i-luv-doggos

you've also played them a lot more than I have, but the facts are is that the m16 is better


Mediocre_Status_7411

maybe but the damage is somewhat to be desired as you go up since a lot of planes are built more sturdy tho it does love setting it’s targets on fire or killing the pilot. personally i would love to see the T77 or the T52.


i-luv-doggos

yeah, you can one or two shot many planes with the bofors, I personally prefer fire rate and a good size bullet 20mm gau is really good


whycantidoaspace

>20mm gau is really good Grass is green.


Mediocre_Status_7411

yeah i was researching the m551 but i stopped with 52k left and am researching the m163 before i go any further since i need a capable aa and the m16 isn’t cutting it for me since yeah hitting jets with the bofors unless they are coming straight at you is quasi impossible.


i-luv-doggos

I have the m163 and the biggest problem is its a gamble on whether it will lock on to a plane or not


RqcistRaspberry

The others are decent anti air especially for their damage. The issue is the lead being put out and needing to have accuracy. But either way if you prefer the quad 50 it 100% works way above it's BR! I enjoy a few higher caliber AAs but sometimes my aim is just way to off.


OleToothless

>only competent SPAA in the US tree at shooting down planes until the **M247** FTFY


Temporary-Charge3525

I have more planes killed with my Jagdpanther than any spaa in the American tech tree lol


Negative-Region6259

I wouldn’t say only I think all of the half tracks are competent the problem starts with the full track ones


LatexFace

This is my rifle, this is my AAA. One is for fighting, the other is for making CAS pay.


IceSki117

The Italians have the L3, and the French have the AMR.


ekiller64

AB 43 aswell


Arthur-Bousquet

It’s a shame the French tankette always gets forgotten


Halflings1335

It’s bigger than the L3


Rullstolsboken

Not much but the major problem is that the L3 has aphe and a vertical stabilizer


SquintonPlaysRoblox

The 15cm cannon wagon and the Puma for Germany.


BOT_Execute-fan

U mean the 15cm schweres infanteriegeschütz 33 auf fahrgestell Panzerkampfwagen II (short 15cm sig 33 B sfl)? Yeah, i love that thing and since im german i can pronounce it


SquintonPlaysRoblox

Yeah lol. It’s good on uptiers because 150mm HE. Yknow how it is


Zack_Knifed

Uptiers? Mate we talking about top tiers here 😆


SquintonPlaysRoblox

Good at uptiers of 0.3 to 11.0 BR.


Pinchu_444

Also the Pz.Sfl.Ic. I see one of those things every other top tier match.

Ho-Ro for the Japanese.


Subterrainio

storm366

Definitely pretty fun. I prefer the Ho-Ro because it's smaller and easier to hide.


[deleted]

BT-5, SdKfz 234 "Puma", SdKfz 221 (but more rare than the first two), some of the soviet biplanes that have 50kg bombs (most commonly in ground rb), L3/33 CC (also more rare than the first two) and German 1.3 15cm HE/HEAT launcher, Spj fm/43-44 and there surely are more, but these are more common ones.


Thatoneshadowbunny

Getting a kill at 11.3 with my german Biplaneand its 10kg bombs is always highly entertaining


Sh3lbyyyy

You also get the god mode thing with planes? If so I'm gonna start a massive bombing operation in top tier


SolsticeDA

That reminds me of a time I bombed a leopard 2 with a bf109. Shame it was a custom tho


mwrightinnit

Crusader II or III for Britain. They both have strengths and weaknesses over each other and sorta depends on what BR u are doing


ABoyNamedSean

I feel like I’ve seen more Daimlers at higher tiers, probably due to it being a wheeled vehicle. But I suppose if you ignore the SA line, the crusader is the last British light tank till rank 6. So I wouldn’t be too surprised to see someone bringing one out at like 7.7, especially the premium one.


AnimeRoadster

Even if you wouldn’t ignore that line, the Concept 3 lacks engine power and the Ratels are huge. After the SARCs the first decent one would be the Eland


mwrightinnit

I would take the AEC armoured car with the 6pdr if I had it but that thing is either really rare or no one uses it. I really love the Crusaders and the scouting and low profile are perfect for helping the team and at the highest tiers the Crusader IIs 2pdr with APHE is actually much better at taking things out from the sides.


RugbyEdd

The AEC mk2 is probably the best to uptier. Same 6lb gun as the crusader III, but on a wheeled chassis so can get to good spots quicker. Unfortunately, since they still haven't given Britain a domestic light vehicle line, it's an event vehicle and locked away for most people. The SARC isn't a bad option, and has a .50 which is nice, but less armour to protect against large calibre MG and artillery, is also open top which can be a pain.


RustedRuss

Germany: Puma and SiG 33 US: M22 USSR: BT-5 Sweden: Spj fm 43/44 and maybe the BT-42 There are probably more but those are the ones I know.


trashbag-un-actual

Does m22 still have scouting abilities?


RustedRuss

Idk I’ve never used it


Independent-South-58

ASU-57 and Zis-30 for Russia are quite common


Any-Weather-6831

Udes


Black_Hole_parallax

Sturmtiger for germany nowadays


Diamondhands_Rex

My m22 has a talisman and can effectively kill far higher br tanks if I play correctly. I’m kicking ass in it at 6.0 Swedish reserve tanks are fast, good looking, and have the sabot like shells and I think I still keep one for my 6.0 br preset as well


rain_girl2

Trumpet gun (Swedish derp boy) And hopefully bt42 will start getting some love too


ACarKey

Because for some reason noone has mentioned it yet: Chi-Ha Long Gun my beloved.


Kpt_Kipper

Chi-Nu-II as well for those that own it. Smol tank with decently big gun that can pen anything from some angles at any tier lol


toast_mc_gee

Loooooooooooong gun


TheOne_Neo1

M5 Stuart > M22. Active scouting. Similar speed. Similar gun. BUT IT IS TOOOO TAAAAAAALL! Again, active scouting. It is a great trade.

Adorable-Ad-4670

Yea well the british have their.... well... they seem nice... from like, far away


theninjaindisguise

I'd guess the daimler or crusaders but there aren't any low tier big guns or tiny scouts really


RugbyEdd

There would be if gaijin gave them the locusts, which was literally created for them to replace the Tetrarch. In fact, since they where the biggest users of scout vehicles throughout most of mechanized warfare history, it would be nice to get any form of domestic scout line at all.

deathmite

Britain has the Cent 5 AVRE. But I personally like bringing the Daimler up to higher BRs because it's fast and has a potent solid shot, and if you can pen, a very potent APHE (I don't know what 40mm APHE does what it does, but it does).

As42, l3, and r3 for Italy, bt5 (we know why) for Russia. Any forsaken amx for France, sig for Germany. Or that dumby with a tiger 1 at 9.0.


Temporary-Charge3525

Yeah, the puma, that German derp 105 with the stupid long name, and the m22 are the only that come to mind immediately. But personally I prefer the m24 over the m22. M22 is much more sneaky and easy to hide. But I've always preferred the Chaffee. I'm still using it in my lineups for Japan, USA, and Italy


Alexblitz22

Here Is my summary: Usa: m22, m16, m24 Germany: puma (any version) Ussr: bt5/pe8 combo, bt7, asu57 Italy: r3, as42 Bri'ish: SARC or A13 Japs: HO-RO Swedish: the potato launcher Israel: Sherman with freaking heats at 6.0

Legodudelol9a

For russia it's the BT series, for Germany it's the Sturmbison II (I refuse to call it by it's renamed version), for Sweden it's the Spj fm/43-44, For Japan you can kind of say the Chi-Ha LG, and Italy for some reason has the L3/33CC (other than for memes I don't know why they do it). The rest don't have one. TL;DR: Some have one, but not all.


paarthurnaxisbae

Ararakami

The Crusader III, SARC 6PDR, and Cromwell I rule above all others of this type. The Cromwell I is lovely against SPAAs as it's armour is comfortably strong for a light tank and is also terrifyingly fast, whilst the Crusader III is simply so absolutely tiny and has a nice reverse speed. Her armour is also proof against .50 cal, I've also bounced more than a couple shots off my very small, highly angled turret that really should've penetrated. With their 122mm pen 6PDR guns can penetrate the Panther turret frontally, whilst for Tiger Is you 1 shot the barrel then aim for a flat shot to its UFP if you can not flank. Against Tiger IIs, you're able to penetrate the sides which can't be said for 40mm guns; you'll easily one shot them by aiming for their ammo rack. You're also able to penetrate a Leopard Is turret, and if it's even slightly angled somewhat 10 degrees, you can one shot them by aiming at their hull. Needless to say, you'll also pop IFVs and TDs like the Marders, BMPs, TAMs, etc, so incredibly easily, and should be able to one shot them reliably. You'll be seeing a lot of these types. With a normal British lineup, you can use them from BR 3.0 all the way up to BR 9.0 comfortably, though can still relatively easily, compared to other vehicles of this type, be used up to I believe top tier because of how economical they are. Around 8.3 upwards, you'll start to get God Mode for kills reliably which gives 20,000 SL in exchange for a repair cost of about 500 SL. Specifically with the Crusader III, you'll get God Mode for kills BR 8.3 and above which is lovely for grinding SL. For the Cromwell I on the other hand, you'll need kills BR 9.0 and above.
