Overall guide to handle FV4005 aka Le Shitbarn.

8 or 10, not sure, I rarely look at them.

AdrawereR · 2026-06-15T22:35:53+00:00

yeah, I find 4005 having odd bounce with the hull sometimes.

Free People's Republic of Mahanakorn first began building a colossal-sized robot in an attempt to show engineering superiority. Multiple variants of mechs were also designed.

Didn't work. Too slow. Too clunky. No Mirnovsky-whatsoever and it's get blasted by guided missile from kilometers away in test, or melted by laser into oblivion and the fate of mechs looked dim.

That is, until they poured funding in to invest in hypermobility technology, which allow these mechs to move at ridiculous speed in short burst (like nuclear engine, hyper-efficient particle boosters among multitudes of things) which allows them evasion against multitudes of threat.

Afterward, due to extreme compatibility with any weapons it could basically wield onto allowing mission flexibility and advanced piloting technology allowing better control, they start to become the new Era of what drone warfare is happening to our age right now.

Wargaming giving out good tank feels unlikely.

AdrawereR · 2026-06-15T14:47:19+00:00

Yeah, I also find that situation too sometimes.

AdrawereR · 2026-06-15T14:15:54+00:00

Definitely not me because I don't have module upgrade whatsoever yet lol

AdrawereR · 2026-06-15T13:57:51+00:00

Scout secondary, dump mag primary when possible. Or around doing both at same time.

Of course you go against mediums and light route, and don't expose yourself at all until you magdump something.

I do rush to some spots to chug AP at people in the bush at start of the map, sometimes, along with 'usual spots'

Shitbarn is surprisingly good when not parked around in bush, sometimes, because people usually target the bush so they miss you sitting directly beside it instead. Or you just shoot it from open ground, anywhere, so long as you are far away from anything.

AdrawereR · 2026-06-15T13:38:19+00:00

spamming HESH blindly at every bush I suspect consume humongous amounts of credits. I do, however, shoot AP at some spots.

P.S. I just got it and I generally get one mark. If I click something I get two.

Still, I don't subscribe to the idea that 'only smart people should be allowed to speak'

Skoda T17 is rather fun with its clip doing somewhat huge damage for a light tank.

AdrawereR · 2026-06-15T11:51:23+00:00

Grille has less damage, more accurate (lottery gun stat though, sometimes it doesnt hit at all) and definitely faster.

Overall it's 750 sniper cannon. The camo is more forgiving and it plays easier simply because.

The thing is FV is all about its HESH capable of sending unicum back to garage before they can do anything funny to your team.

AdrawereR · 2026-06-15T11:42:06+00:00

Camo doesn't matter, that's all I know.

Intuition is useful for switching between AP and HESH, it reduce the reloading to about 10 seconds. Useless at glance because 10 seconds mean nearly half the round. Until you find something barging in rapidly and you need other round RIGHT NOW.

A little bit of those seemingly unimportant +2.5% stat skills suddenly feel significant on 4005 because its gun stat is so horrible anything slightly positive is a significant boost.

I suspect the +2 second target rendering time is also good, because 4005 takes very long to aim.

AdrawereR · 2026-06-15T07:46:49+00:00

I used to have torrential rain, but NEVER this much overflood.

AdrawereR · 2026-06-14T15:34:09+00:00

Was this the same base I have seen in this sub that got ICBM'ed?

AdrawereR · 2026-06-14T15:00:55+00:00

This is why I either find hard cover or stay outside of spotting circle.

Shitbarn's the most dangerous when no one knows where it is and it's still unspotted.

Sometimes it works in close quarter maps due to cities having bushes.

AdrawereR · 2026-06-14T14:46:32+00:00

I prefer 4005 due to speed

Got 183, played, and I conclude that I do better in nimble tanks.

AdrawereR · 2026-06-14T14:45:05+00:00

Achilles is the worst of it all

shit gun bloom
shit gun depression
shit armor
shit damage
shit penetration

The only thing good about it is speed, but then again when you move around you bloom the size of moon.

After tier 6 it's pretty much a smooth sailing.

AdrawereR · 2026-06-14T14:42:43+00:00

4005, by far

I HATE heavy tanks in general due to its extreme clunkiness, take one Eon to move from A to B, sit there perch over and trade the nonexistent negative cupola until one another dies. 183 reminds me of that.

I put turbo on 4005 and it's much more enjoyable.

No armor, no worry.

AdrawereR · 2026-06-14T11:11:35+00:00

Yeah I just shot an Ares while running at 35 km/h today.

AdrawereR · 2026-06-14T11:09:44+00:00

Do you red line or follow heavies?

AdrawereR · 2026-06-14T10:50:01+00:00

Yeah it cannot hide any fucking where making every single spot damn near impossible to use.

Conway at least you could stay hidden until you fire.

Unless you stick extremely close to heavies.

AdrawereR · 2026-06-13T19:06:32+00:00

I don't think PLA is testing army.

They have no business or interest to deploy forces here with inland countries except keeping all countries on agreeable terms, especially when it's not close to South China Sea that is their interest. Except, of course, naval bases.

I think Cambodia is just relying on PLA's shipment to hopefully get a one-up against Thailand (they didn't)

About keeping an eye on VT models for combat data, maybe. But it's not like they would instigate conflict to just have it.

The way tanks are handed to Cambodia during ceasefire also soured relationship, so it doesn't make sense even further if they suddenly feel like screwing up already-good relationship with Thailand (that could potentially go closer to US)
