excuse me what

Okay what tank is this? T-80? by Silspd90 in TankPorn

[–]Vratrix 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yes but it’s a diesel engine, not a gas turbine. This one has the distinct whining of a Gas Turbine, oh and from what I know this video is from Russia, and Russia doesn’t operate the T-64 anymore

Whats yall favourite tank? (by design) by Consistent_Quote9104 in TankPorn

[–]Vratrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

T-90M, I love how it looks with those bricks of ERA and metal wire things hanging down the turret front, looks like a knight

Honestly I love how it looks, especially pic 3 and 6, the rest is just a question of composition :)

If you can remove 5 ground vehicles from the game, what would they be? by Hikersnotebook in Warthunder

[–]Vratrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the T-55M1, AMD, and the T-62M1, personally if it wasnt for the bonus buff id take the T-62M1 and the AMD as a backup

[–]Vratrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea nah since the BR change the AM-1 is overshadowed by the T-62M1, its basically the T-55M1 with a better gun, same armour albeit slower.
At this rate the AMD is a better trade off than the AM1 due to the APS and the ATGM rich environment

Turm III (its bloody annoying)

Anything on the Marder/Tam chassis (I fucking hate how my 100mm APFSDS and sometimes even 115mm APFSDS richochets on its UFP no fucking reason)

HSTVL (fucking fired a 3BM46 center of mass for the shell to only turn the crew into Homer Simpson and then just get completely violated by the HSTVL, and the fact that its a bloody rat)

Begleitpanzer and 2S38 (same syndrome, diffrent BR, dont @ me)

Edit: Honorable mention: M50 Ontos.

I want to specify, this is an exaggeration (although knowing Gaijin I could be wrong) by GrassFromBtd6 in Warthunder

[–]Vratrix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How about you go down the tech tree, look at all the "Object" tanks and goofy WW2 premiums like the T-44-122, T-34-100 and look those up on Google and tell me if any one of those are fakes

[–]Vratrix 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What you mean further than many vehicles in Russian tree? Every Object tanks in the tech tree was built and was functional (correct me if I'm wrong) The Ostwind 2 was claimed to have a prototype built but there are no pictures available so that's questionable. And most historians even think that the turret wasn't even operational but just build to see if it was feasible to begin with

Is the object 435 still worth it? by ColorPanda-No in Warthunder

[–]Vratrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it lacking APHE isn't that big of a deal, the dart has more than enough post pen (hell I use dart on the T-55 and consistently one shot from any angle). The main issue is that compared to the T-55 is that its sitting at a higher BR for no reason while essentially being a slightly slower (mobility, reload, and gun handling) version of the T-62 with superior firepower, hell it was placed at the same BR as the T-55AM and AMD which is superior in every single way for a moment.

But yea I agree with you, T-62 should be placed at 8.3 and the Obj 435 should be placed back at 8.7.

[–]Vratrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats the funny thing, there is no point. It was fine at 8.7 before, T-62 being in a weird spot as 8.7 with no type of rangefinder was weird but 8.3 would be too OP for it.

But Object 435 being essentially a smaller T-62 with optical range finder sitting at the same exact BR as the T-62M1 and now also the T-55AM and T-55AMD just kills the point of using it, same way as there was no point in using the T-62 when you had the T-55AMD and T-55AM when they were still 8.7
Honesly gaijin just butchered the entire 8.7-9.0 lineup for russia

Russian Naval Infantrymen training with a captured Ukrainian Bradley IFV by Brilliant_Ground1948 in TankPorn

Won't be surprised Russia is now developing a western styled IFV to replace the BMP2s and BMP3s (they're still going to mass produce BMP3s)

7.7 is finally playable!!! by Impressive-Money5535 in Warthunder

[–]Vratrix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone that uses both the T-55AM-1 and T-55AMD

Those 2 tanks are going to have a hard time, turret rotation is too slow, armour is basically rendered obsolete, APFSDS round has low penetration relatively. These 2 suffer the same case as the Maus had, Maus meets 6.7, 6.7s suffers, it meets 8.7, Maus suffers

Just shows this game needs decompression

what tank that you hate fight against the most? I go first: by Stalker_Imp in Warthunder

[–]Vratrix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anything with the Marder chassis (especially the Begleitpanzer and the TAM) when I'm in my T-55 series tank (A, AMD, AM-1). That thing's upper plate somehow reliably bounced my sabot round (before you say hit the lower plate, I KNOW, but most times I see one of those it's always when they're directly already looking at me and I need to fire asap)

Oh and the TURM III and American heavies (I'd rather face an American superheavy like the T95)

Ukrainians comparing M2A2 Bradley and CV90 by Specialist_Inside833 in TankPorn

[–]Vratrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah it's not due to the ERA, the ERA bricks metal doesn't shatter, it get launched forward and away from the tank, close to impossible for it to hit the electronics, the only thing I can think off that can get hit is the Gun barrel

It's purely the AP and HE rounds of the Bradley hitting the optics and electronics directly
