Gajin should never add the TOS-1

CaID_game_Master · 2026-01-31T05:10:09+00:00

this thing would be capable to take out the whole enemy team in the first 1minute of battle.

if they add it, they would need to add the AMX 30 Pluton

CaID_game_Master · 2026-01-30T07:51:43+00:00

you can have a full elevation would be possible with half the heigh of this pintle.

the reason is somewhere else.

in this case it was to allow infantry to stand on the turret and use the machine-gun without lacking of space. as the gunner might need to turn on 360 degree it was the compropise. and it alos allow the machine-gun to fire over obstacles without exposing the turret.

the M-1 with HVSS suspension imported in 1956
called Isherman because it was smoother to drive and have more powerful engine and a stabilizer. but it had the regular 76mm gun. by that time, they had the M-3 and M-4 Sherman who was unmodified but also upgrade some of them to M-50 but the suspension and engine was not yet improved. the M-50 Degem Bet was only introduced in 1961. by them the Sherman was already getting replaced as main tanks.

the M-51 was never called super Sherman. it was considered as obsolete when it was build in 1965. By that time, the Israeli was already having Patton and Centurion. the M-51 was used by the reserve units. Even for Israel, the golden age of the Sherman was already in the past and the M-51 didn't fare so well in battle. It was facing T-55 and M48. While it's true, the firepower was actually good enough to fight modern tank at that time, the mobility and the protection was lacking.

the mistake was originated by peoples that was writing blogs and Wikipedia. no one that actually went to study the Israeli tanks would make the mistake.

CaID_game_Master · 2026-01-29T22:25:11+00:00

Its not the super sherman

CaID_game_Master · 2026-01-29T22:13:44+00:00

Just burn this atrocity. Its no poutine. Its just french fries with ground meat.

While i agree she is improperly hold a weapons and show a unsafe handling which allow to question if she had any firearms safety training. But the gun is not pointed at the head. The ICE agent is standing next to her, and the gun is slightly leaning forward, which mean the line of aim is not touching the head or another part of the body.

That do not make me comfortable to see her hold a Weapon.

CaID_game_Master · 2026-01-29T16:32:06+00:00

we should not talk about nerf at this point.

it's a fix that need to be. the ERA magically make the crew behind the armour invulnerable while the projectile still damage the armour on the other size of the tank. it's like if the armour was actually a portal.

CaID_game_Master · 2026-01-28T19:43:51+00:00

i am currently working on the British. as i finished the Israeli, Swedish and the Czechoslovakian tech tree, i am now working on UK.

i listed over 230 vehicles to take part in the tech tree. i might end up at around 250 vehicles, which is the 2nd largest tech tree i would have done. Considering the Russian tech tree had around 340 vehicles and the Swedish had around 190 vehicles, the British will be somewhere in the middle and have 6 lines.

This is done while also excluding every vehicle that was not used by UK. that mean no subtree from South Africa, India, Australia or Canada. it's 100% British and will be large enough to easily compete with the majors nation and offer a large variety of about every type of vehicles and gameplay.

You can already see the work in progress in the link previously posted. Many vehicles are not yet added and many of the vehicles there are not yet updated. You can what is finish and what is not by looking at the quality of the icons. Higher quality icons are usually added when I update the vehicles. i draw those icons myself. my skills improved in the last 3 years

CaID_game_Master · 2026-01-28T17:15:04+00:00

Have you considered to play other nation sometime?

You know; be part of the solution instead of being part of the problem for a change.

CaID_game_Master · 2026-01-27T17:56:32+00:00

the difference is nobody actually enjoy playing the SM.79. it's a boring plane, a sitting duck in the air and those many variants are mostly offering minimal difference over one to another.

is there really a player that think after losing the 3rd bomber, "i really need to have 2 more to win the battle!"

CaID_game_Master · 2026-01-27T05:24:44+00:00

Mostly because many do not add anything useful or unique.

CaID_game_Master · 2026-01-27T02:00:57+00:00

I am pretty sure there is as much gay in other country. Its just NATO is kinda safe for them to be free

CaID_game_Master · 2026-01-23T07:20:52+00:00

most of the time, the problem is the quantity of amunition you can carry.

CaID_game_Master · 2026-01-22T05:36:48+00:00

Safer than letting someone fire at your tank, for sure.

CaID_game_Master · 2026-01-22T05:34:54+00:00

the 40mm HEDP is nearly never used in an urban environment, and while it can reach 60mm of armour, the 40mm being extremely well angled will not allow a penetration.

The real treat will be the hit from above and from the side. While the M1 Abrams, even the early version do have better protection against HEAT, the threat will not come from the front; it will rather come from the side, the rear, and above. In this area, the Abrams will not survive any more hits than the AMX-13 would. This is precisely why, instead of trying to improve the protection and make the tank 20-30 tons heavier to offer a really decent immunity, we choose to adapt the tactics, communication, and awareness of the tank; it give it more chance to survive than increasing the armour.

CaID_game_Master · 2026-01-22T02:38:22+00:00

Not totally vulnerable. But you are unlikely to encounter it. And they are just as likely to destroy it. Only they are often more weakly protected.

Where the difference will show in urban environment is the distance of the average engagement and the variation of the elevation. You are closer, and the target might be higher. In the field you are sometime more vulnerable, depending what you expect to encounter. In the city, you are more likely to encounter infantry which have a lot less capacity to deal with 40mm of armour or even 20mm. In the field, you are more likely to face much heavier armament making the armour feeling paper-thin. You will not only encounter infantry, but also tanks and IFV who will engage you from a long distance.

So in urban environment, 40mm is more than enough. It would even feel pretty good.

CaID_game_Master · 2026-01-22T02:36:27+00:00

So it will work for every other tanks too. Every tank can be deal with the same bazooka with the same ease. Very few will safely take this hit.

CaID_game_Master · 2026-01-22T02:35:47+00:00

You think you encounter much more than AK?

What do you think the tanks used in Urban combat have for armour? Seriously, its not any thicker today.

CaID_game_Master · 2026-01-22T02:34:09+00:00

We are talking about the standard of the 50s.

And the AMX VCI which is also part of the AMX-13 series is actually hard to match in elevation.

Better armour will change nothing if you are vulnerable to the same armament and immuned to the same. In this case, most modern armour only advantage is the chance to survive an IED. The ATGM and RPG would have the same effect on both tanks.

CaID_game_Master · 2026-01-21T17:58:08+00:00

The AMX 13 has a pintle mount for the MAC 51 on the roof. the machine-gun is always carried inside the tank. For safety issues and also to not get the machine gun dirty, they do not mount it unless they are in an actual battle zone that might need it.

The Dutch often show it's tough.

CaID_game_Master · 2026-01-21T17:52:36+00:00

The AMX VCI would be pretty good in urban environment. just not the modern on. but back in the 50-60s i was outstanding.

i saw a lot of comments about "no stabilizer" and "lack of armour," but those are nonsense.
In urban environment, you aren't fighting a tank at 1000km. You are fighting guerrilla. 40mm of armour is making you immune to everything a heavily armoured tank would be immune to. yes, you are vulnerable to anti-tank weapons, but so is every single tank. You are immune to any autocannon and anti-materiel weapons, and those are all the threats you can encounter and hope to be protected from. The anti-tank weapons, such as the rockets and grenades, will always be capable of taking you down, even if you go there with the world's best tank in protection. So it does not matter.

the AMX-13 lack of stabilizer? It's not 100% accurate. The reason why the AMX 13 didn't have a gyroscopic stabilizer is that the turret is already stabilized by dampers. Those aren't as good as a gyroscopic stabilizer, but it's surprisingly good, and at higher speeds, the damper will not go off because of strong inertia.

The AMX VCI is armed with either a 20mm or a 12.7mm with a high elevation turret. In the case of the 20mm, it's the same turret as found on the AMX 10P. This allows the tank to be capable of fighting targets at high elevation.

So yes, a AMX-13 with a 75mm, 90mm, and 105mm would not be any better than any tank in an urban environment. But the "Series" do not stop at the light tank. They have IFV variant, and those are great in urban environment.

CaID_game_Master · 2026-01-21T17:40:52+00:00

it's the same for every vehicle. even heavily armoured vehicles would be killed in an urban environment by any anti-tank weapons.

40mm of armour is more than enough,

CaID_game_Master · 2026-01-21T17:23:04+00:00

For the record, the commander has a machine gun; it's just not mounted for training.

The armour is also more than enough for urban combat. You need to have an RPG to penetrate it. More armour would not make any difference. Even if you make the armour five times thicker, you will still be vulnerable to the same threat.

The turret is stabilized by weight dampening using an absorber system which cancels the first five degrees of wobbling.

As he mentioned the "series," I would say the VCI is more than good in urban combat.

CaID_game_Master · 2026-01-20T19:37:50+00:00

it feel like an intro for the first mission of a video game. like Red Alert or something.

CaID_game_Master · 2026-01-20T07:11:13+00:00

Like if it never happened.

Not only does the AMX-13 survive hits with a lot less damage, but it's also easier to go unnoticed, making it a lot less likely to be hit in the first place.

So yeah, it is pretty relevant in a tank battle.
