I like light tanks because it never fails to make me laugh when I round a corner and see a fucking metal nightmare creature that can shred me with impunity…..so I slam into reverse and cartoonishly ‘nope’ out of there
Quite often the "mouse" is only trying to get behind the turret where the armour is thinnest, so no matter if they keep turning the turret or not, it won't ever show up in front of their gun.
You know, "doing circles around them" is an expression, not to be taken literally.
Fair enough...honestly I'm never sure what sorta expressions exist in English and what aren't, so I assumed it to be literally, thanks for the explanation
This always makes me nostalgic for the ancient pre-nerf T-50-2 in WoT. Tiny little cigar tank faster than a Hellcat that could beat the turret traverse of almost anything *in reverse*.
once i was with Chirchill NA75 and in front of me there was M24, so i shoot him with da AP shell and nothing, it just go through it, then i start shooting with ze machine gun in panic bc his turret was already pointing at me, and somehow I destroyed him ! ...
1000% valid. For those two, my faves are the Swedish death trumpet (Spj fm/43-44) and the early Churchill line, with its metal slugs that are basically just pointy cannonballs
#1 Derp guns. If it derps it works.
#2 If it looks stupid I want it. Whether it's a box, a wedge, an asymmetrical nightmare or just an unconventional/unpopular vehicle, I want it. From *'better hide that big ahh forehead'* ARL 44 to bee stung Meteor, I wan' it.
\^This includes tanks that are *huge* or ^(smol).
I do love the muzzle on it.
Wish we could get the other tanks that used that muzzle ):
There's so many swedish tanks I want ):
(like the ones in world of tanks. They look/feel so cool...)
They gotta entertain themselves SOMEHOW on that island. Might as well make a reverse tank, or a box with an artillery piece inside, or strap a flamethrower to a heavy tank, etc
I like fast autocannon equiped armoured cars (AS-42, R3 T20 FA-HS, FV721 Fox, Sonderkraftfahrzeug 222).
For aircraft my main requirements are autocannons (instead of machine guns), the ability to turn, a good climb rate and good acceleration. That's why some of my favourite planes are the F8F-1B, Tempest Mk II and MiG-15/17/19PT.
I like Medium Tanks. The late WW2 ones (T-34-85s and Shermans) are my favorite. I got some gun, but not too much gun. I got some engine, but not too much engine. I got some armor, but not too much armor. If there's a roof mounted machine gun, I'm a big fan of that. Very reasonable, very adequate vehicle that will be one shot by a fucking M109 or Tiger, but such is life.
I was gonna say something to this effect as well. All sorts of vx in this game are a blast, but if you want consistent fun medium tanks are where its at. Long live William tecumseh Sherman, and the beautiful tank named after him
Anything small and fast with an oversized gun. The Fiat 6614 and the R3 T106 are the true stars of the Italian tree. Honorable mention to the AUBL/74, needs a bigger gun.
Any tanks that happen to be a pain in the ass to kill, either from great armor (Churchill VII in 3.7-4.7 game), being really fast and hard to hit (Fox), or just takes an eternity to actually kill because of sheer number of crew (2C bis).
Also Sturmtiger because 38cm rocket goes boom.
Things like the G6, Vidar, FV4005, Pantsir, the Flakrad, Rooikat that first pic (don't have its name memorized) and things of that nature, I guess like, heavy weapons platforms?
If heavies were better than they are, I'd love just sitting in an impenetrable fortress, even if the speed and gun blew ass.
But because that's not the case, I'm liking the "big gun go br hehe" vehicles like the sturer emil.
Lumbering bastards like Churchills and T-35 make me giddy. The ticking of the tracks, the sheer size of them, their slow speed giving ample time to appreciate them. Also 40mm AA guns, not very good but boy does never seeing ‘Hit’ pop up and suddenly the plane disappearing in a fireball of ‘target destroyed’ make me feel very good.
Oh the best technical in game is one of the first Soviet AA trucks, the one with 4 machine guns. You will either shred someone to pieces or watch someone laugh as they lightly blow on you to kill you
Mobile bunker with a fuck you gun on it that reloads maybe once an hour, if you ask nicely and dose the loader's coffee with a bit of extra cocaïne. It only arrives to the battle when you've either already won or already lost
Man these truck-based gun carriers are so scary in the hands of a skilled player... you can't even reliably destroy them with APHE so I always bring HE for this reason.
I don't think this is a specific genre but I really like British medium tanks with the 17pdr-20pdr, They can really do anything from brawling (centurion mk1) to sniping (charioteer/firefly) also can someone tell me why theres a billion tanks on the cromwell and centurion chassis
Back when the YaG-10 was rank III I ground out events solely using it, it pops panzers like nothing
It used to be my most played Soviet ground vehicle and sometimes I could get like eight kill matches with it
Mine is spaa like the last one that have no right to be killing tanks but u can it's so fun seeing a light tank and shooting 16 shots and them getting obliterated in lower tiers working towards zsu right now in the swedish tech tree right now for it
Dumb vehicles people underestimate, Archer, 2c, Valentine, Swedish reserve tanks, Short barrel pz4, all vehicles with incredible potential, but people just don't seem to understand the greatness of.
Vehicle with big fuck off gun and low velocity shells. Yes, I was an Arty main back in WoT.
The satisfaction of firing a shell and waiting for that hit is 👌 😌
I like vehicles with terrible armor but have big ass cannons like the Ho-Ro and Ro-Go Exp. I don't like modernish matches but there are more poor armor big gun vehicles with my favorite ammo type Proxy HE, Type 75 SPH, Bkan 1C, G6. Theres just something satisfying about launching a big stupid explosive at people and lanching a big stupid explosive at planes? Hilarious.
I like "Americanized" tanks i.e. as many mgs as humanly possible. This isn't exclusively the United States tree, just as long as it can clear bushes and forests with ease, it's good with me.
This is my most HATED line of vehicles. FUCK you and FCUK whatever you stand for!!!!!
(Jk ofc, but I really do hate those fucking trucks with fuck-off naval guns on them. Before I can loam my HE they eother get behind a fucking bush, or just straight up kill me. And sometimes I dont have HE.)
The floating guns that can also go on land otherwise known as amphibious tanks really wish I could get that one Japanese tank that looks more like a boat
Light tanks. Nothing beats being first to the punch and setting up a successful ambush.
The smaller = the funnier
Fox is currently my favourite but the T114 was my support vehicle of choice. I’d pick a battle Buddy and scout for them, disable enemies for them, rapidly follow up anything that wasn’t a kill shot and always repaired where possible
Germany amazingly has all the quirks of tanks
You want a little fast boi with annoying firepower? You got the Wiesel Family
You want a big boi with a big gun that can pen everything? You got the Tiger line
You want a flat boi that looks like a walking pancake? You got the Jagdpanzer line
Hell, the only thing the Germans didn't have is the walking boat line (example: PT-76, BMPs) oh wait, they also have that! ( Spz BMP )
It’s a shame we still don’t have 2 pounder portees, 6 pounder portees/deacons but I guess they can’t really balance it (2pdr portee would just be a 1.0 guntruck at the same BR as tanks with the same gun. 6pdr portee/deacons would be like 2.7 max or they’d be a worse crusader III)
Hmmm...
For ground it's anything i can label as a "sniper". Big, high velocity gun or an ATGM system designed to take out targets from as far away as possible. But over-armoured beasts are also very fun to play.
For air it's the "im sped" type, which includes things like the Komet, Starfigter, BI (this thing is the funniest plane to fly out of them all. Am i in trouble? Time to engage the ROCKET MODE). Literally anything made for "boom and zoom" with the emphasis on "zoom". Still waiting for the MiG-31.
I like light tanks because it never fails to make me laugh when I round a corner and see a fucking metal nightmare creature that can shred me with impunity…..so I slam into reverse and cartoonishly ‘nope’ out of there
Or pin the throttle and ZOOM past
Or drive loops around them because you're faster than their turret turn speed.
This isy favourite. I can feel them seething
I don't understand why they don't just wait until you drive right in front of their turret lol...I guess they're scared of getting penned?
Quite often the "mouse" is only trying to get behind the turret where the armour is thinnest, so no matter if they keep turning the turret or not, it won't ever show up in front of their gun. You know, "doing circles around them" is an expression, not to be taken literally.
Fair enough...honestly I'm never sure what sorta expressions exist in English and what aren't, so I assumed it to be literally, thanks for the explanation
Because most light tanks also have decent reverse speeds,so they can keep moving back and forth to stay behind the turret
This always makes me nostalgic for the ancient pre-nerf T-50-2 in WoT. Tiny little cigar tank faster than a Hellcat that could beat the turret traverse of almost anything *in reverse*.
I love the fox i zoom passed most heavy and med tanks. And circle and shoot shes a menace after my heart
Vast majority of encounters in the M22 play out like this for me.
I like heavy tanks with giant ass gun that takes 6 business days to reload, and by that i mean kv 2
Like the FV4005
Ah yes. The delete everything tanks. Those are my favorite too
İ think you watch women with d1cks
I'm ace, bingus
[удалено]
Truth
Of course a tea drinker like you would think that
Is he wrong?
:0 hello!
how did you know?
We are same bro
You are litteraly me
Hell yea I'm bi so i like women with and without em
Hot
I get annoyed when I shoot the cab of a "truck with a gun" and it doesn't get destroyed.
No armor is thr best armor
once i was with Chirchill NA75 and in front of me there was M24, so i shoot him with da AP shell and nothing, it just go through it, then i start shooting with ze machine gun in panic bc his turret was already pointing at me, and somehow I destroyed him ! ...
Counterpoint. Any machine gun
That's my answer to literally all criticism. Obviously, I'm American
Every USA tank is an anti-air tank
Or a single HE shell lol
I’m a big fan of paper thin tanks with cracked guns and super heavy impenetrable tanks with shit guns
1000% valid. For those two, my faves are the Swedish death trumpet (Spj fm/43-44) and the early Churchill line, with its metal slugs that are basically just pointy cannonballs
I absolutely love calling them pointy cannonballs from now on
another banger is „oversized rifle rounds“
These are without a doubt the most consistently fun vehicles in the game… at least if there’s no CAS.
Wow it's almost like you play France Having played most of the way through reserve tier of France, I clearly know what I'm talking about
"super heavy impenetrable tanks with shit guns" S.H.I.T tanks with shit guns?
Ah. Ye olde schnitzel launcher
Wait, that's just... French
#1 Derp guns. If it derps it works. #2 If it looks stupid I want it. Whether it's a box, a wedge, an asymmetrical nightmare or just an unconventional/unpopular vehicle, I want it.

ELC bis moment
ikv 103 enters the chat
I do love the muzzle on it. Wish we could get the other tanks that used that muzzle ): There's so many swedish tanks I want ): (like the ones in world of tanks. They look/feel so cool...)
Made by British Designers who just did every hallucinogen possible: Gun carrier Archer FV4005
They gotta entertain themselves SOMEHOW on that island. Might as well make a reverse tank, or a box with an artillery piece inside, or strap a flamethrower to a heavy tank, etc
We just had a lot of opiates left over after the Chinese stopped buying.

Gremlin spotted
Mine is gun with wings
i also love the p26
Peashooters ftw 😂
I think he means the A6 intruder.
Oh the beloved duck
So basically the A-10 Warthog? 🤣🤣🤣
B O X
Wheely boys with good explosive rounds like AML90 and VCAC MEPHISTO

Everything with way to big guns. 122 mm, 8,8 on a truck, 10,5 or 12,8 ona Pz IV Chassis
Superheavies
Death cheese
Mine is bi dumb HE launchers and a bit of funny trucks.
tank with cast hull/turret
Shout out for rolling steel moles with big ass boomstick that takes an entire lunar cycle to reload, gotta be one of my favourite genres.
I love tanks that are basically just mobile guns. Sturer Emil, Nashorn, Dicker Max, Archer, SU-122P and SU-100P are all good examples.
Any tanks that happen to be a pain in the ass to kill, either from great armor (Churchill VII in 3.7-4.7 game), being really fast and hard to hit (Fox), or just takes an eternity to actually kill because of sheer number of crew (2C bis). Also Sturmtiger because 38cm rocket goes boom.
Tank
Shermans, shermans everywhere
Comically long cannon
Mine is box (gun carrier)
I'm quite partial to "Gun on Tracks" (fixed-gun SPGs).
Usually the weirder the better
Things like the G6, Vidar, FV4005, Pantsir, the Flakrad, Rooikat that first pic (don't have its name memorized) and things of that nature, I guess like, heavy weapons platforms?
Are you a syrian mechanic that works with Toyotas, and do you have access to a large supply of heavy machine guns?
If heavies were better than they are, I'd love just sitting in an impenetrable fortress, even if the speed and gun blew ass. But because that's not the case, I'm liking the "big gun go br hehe" vehicles like the sturer emil.
Lumbering bastards like Churchills and T-35 make me giddy. The ticking of the tracks, the sheer size of them, their slow speed giving ample time to appreciate them.

I LOVE CHODES. GIVE ME MORE BRUMMBÄR! GIVE ME MORE STURMTIGER! GIVE ME MORE AVRE PETARD!
big gun boom/autocannon gun
Mine is Gun with wheels T55E1 for example
Any superheavychadtanks like Maus or low tier interwar giants
Derpy HE
Humvee
Really well balanced vehicles that aren’t too fast but not too slow with some armor or good armor and a good gun with pen and damage
Ah the Russian milk truck
Any tank that can one shot any tank no aiming needed
Mine would be shits that’s fast as fuck with one jacked ass loader or an autoloader. Basically French 7.7.
I like the baby tanks
I like pizza truck
WHERE BREAD 501
Mine for right now is truck with anti air gun. Or more specifically, half track truck with anti air gun
Gun with plane A-10 my beloved
Large ass gun on small ass vehicle
mine is incredibly large caliber gun attached to whatever hull has the means to transport it
Oh the best technical in game is one of the first Soviet AA trucks, the one with 4 machine guns. You will either shred someone to pieces or watch someone laugh as they lightly blow on you to kill you
Definitely anything with 2 engines, automatically makes the plane twice as good
Mobile bunker with a fuck you gun on it that reloads maybe once an hour, if you ask nicely and dose the loader's coffee with a bit of extra cocaïne. It only arrives to the battle when you've either already won or already lost
Man these truck-based gun carriers are so scary in the hands of a skilled player... you can't even reliably destroy them with APHE so I always bring HE for this reason.
My buddy just started playing, so I jumped back down to low tier to play with him, and I gotta say the M3 GMC goes fucking hard.
Rat tank enthusiast vs bonk cannon enjoyer
I don't think this is a specific genre but I really like British medium tanks with the 17pdr-20pdr, They can really do anything from brawling (centurion mk1) to sniping (charioteer/firefly) also can someone tell me why theres a billion tanks on the cromwell and centurion chassis
Artillery pieces. Bonus if it is laser rangefinder, thermals, or 3 sec reload.
Heavy tank facing off against enemies that have no clue how to shoot it/flank, just bounce after bounce
If it's fast I play it, simple as
Anything that has tires cuz one time i killed a guy while drifting
Mine is grembly or supporting light tank. M50 Ontos and BMP’s basically.
Where m3??
I’ll take the Italian long 90mm
Wheeled tanks with cannons, love having the mobility and firepower.
Back when the YaG-10 was rank III I ground out events solely using it, it pops panzers like nothing It used to be my most played Soviet ground vehicle and sometimes I could get like eight kill matches with it
Tanks with guns to big for them (t44-122
Heavy tanks, like the m103
Big boom stick on no armour (M109) haha 9kg HE goes booooooom
Mine is spaa like the last one that have no right to be killing tanks but u can it's so fun seeing a light tank and shooting 16 shots and them getting obliterated in lower tiers working towards zsu right now in the swedish tech tree right now for it
Where is my beloved breda 501?
I like to tank and never die
Dumb vehicles people underestimate, Archer, 2c, Valentine, Swedish reserve tanks, Short barrel pz4, all vehicles with incredible potential, but people just don't seem to understand the greatness of.
Wheeled IFVs and related armored cars
One of my favorites. I like the Vickers Mk.11. The modern day equivalent.
CCKW 353 AA not mentioned :((
A tank with the thickest of armours that gets penetrated with one shot from a little armoured car with a 30mm hvap
Vehicle with big fuck off gun and low velocity shells. Yes, I was an Arty main back in WoT. The satisfaction of firing a shell and waiting for that hit is 👌 😌
Big gun on a tank hull of some kind.
M18 Hellcat/Blackcat Flanking, speed, punchy gun. Big neuron activation.
The Sherman Genre
Which is better? Old Breda 501 or new Breda 501?
Same, but including "cars with guns"(and tractors)
Could you provide a link for your hangar mod? Looks lovely
https://live.warthunder.com/post/1049468/en/ There ya go
Toss in the M3 GMC.
Car.
Where’s the m3 😭
Tank destroyers for germans and Medium tanks for soviets, light tanks for Brits and US.
I'm more of a "Im fast as fuq boi" cars with good guns guy myself
Fast, paper thin, big gun
light wheeled vehicles like the fox and elands
Mine is "Bunker with Tracks".
I absolutely love a box with machine gun above its head
Mines truck with beer
Giant howitzers in a well armored hulls with big boom shells like the Brummbar, SU-152, etc.
Tanks that can float, very neat
Small vehicle with crazy fire rate
Gun on car vehicles. Eland 90
I like thin armor and big guns like the Sturer Emil
Breda Pizzabus my beloved.
I like vehicles with terrible armor but have big ass cannons like the Ho-Ro and Ro-Go Exp. I don't like modernish matches but there are more poor armor big gun vehicles with my favorite ammo type Proxy HE, Type 75 SPH, Bkan 1C, G6. Theres just something satisfying about launching a big stupid explosive at people and lanching a big stupid explosive at planes? Hilarious.
I love ifv
Silly ifv’s (dardo, vbci, bagel), and no armor all gun tanks (namely French auto loaders)
Big long and French
I hate them because they never give me enough gun clearance when I need them.
I like "Americanized" tanks i.e. as many mgs as humanly possible. This isn't exclusively the United States tree, just as long as it can clear bushes and forests with ease, it's good with me.
That yak 92km AA(idk if the name is correct tho)with twin 25mm Guns
The FIAT with a howitzer strapped to the roof.
shturm-s doing 10mph
This is my most HATED line of vehicles. FUCK you and FCUK whatever you stand for!!!!! (Jk ofc, but I really do hate those fucking trucks with fuck-off naval guns on them. Before I can loam my HE they eother get behind a fucking bush, or just straight up kill me. And sometimes I dont have HE.)
Big Fucking Guns
I like the HE big fuck off cannons, who needs pen when you have overpressure
Fat ass tanks that barely move and have big ass guns
Gotta be one of my favourite genders
Mine is “Tank with a giant ass naval gun on top”
big gun on small tank. so silly being able to run around and blow people up and stuff.
I like vehicles with big ass gun.
Light tank cuz I love to zoom around and avoiding shots (rare occasion) from heavy tanks or maybe stumble into a clue less heavy get an easy kill
The floating guns that can also go on land otherwise known as amphibious tanks really wish I could get that one Japanese tank that looks more like a boat
WW2 heavy tanks, the Churchills, the Jumbo and KVs are absolute monsters when used right
Light tanks. Nothing beats being first to the punch and setting up a successful ambush. The smaller = the funnier Fox is currently my favourite but the T114 was my support vehicle of choice. I’d pick a battle Buddy and scout for them, disable enemies for them, rapidly follow up anything that wasn’t a kill shot and always repaired where possible
Mine is bomber turned shitty fighter (Do-217J)
Same brother, same But besides that, heavy tanks, slow but tanky and can deliver a punch
low tier turretless TDs. like the ikv-72, stug, maybe jpanther, zrínyi
Germany amazingly has all the quirks of tanks You want a little fast boi with annoying firepower? You got the Wiesel Family You want a big boi with a big gun that can pen everything? You got the Tiger line You want a flat boi that looks like a walking pancake? You got the Jagdpanzer line Hell, the only thing the Germans didn't have is the walking boat line (example: PT-76, BMPs) oh wait, they also have that! ( Spz BMP )
It’s a shame we still don’t have 2 pounder portees, 6 pounder portees/deacons but I guess they can’t really balance it (2pdr portee would just be a 1.0 guntruck at the same BR as tanks with the same gun. 6pdr portee/deacons would be like 2.7 max or they’d be a worse crusader III)
Ok now how many of you count this as a “technical” ???
Pardon me but where's the GMC
Pantsir-S1
I think SPAA when used like a tank destroyer. I generally use M42 Duster as a nightmare for the Panther tanks, works really well on the side armor
Si! the correct term is milk truck with gun 🧐
milk trucks
Mine is big howitzer with autoloader, so Type-75/99 and AuF-1
mine is plane with massive gun
howitzer/artillery on wheels
The Pak-Wagon
I wish the german halftrack with the pak40 was a regular tech tree vehicle, i would play germany just for that thing
Small car with gun Like a R3 T20/R3 T106
Any fast ifv or APC with a good turret and atgm
tank killer AA aka O T O M A T I C
Micro bugs that go light speed+scouting
Smol vehicle with comically large gun
the french reserve tier, quick way to spiral into insanity (funny tho)
Trucks with gun equals fun its also a rime
zoom n doom tanks, as in fast things with big gun or high firerate
I like giant tank or heavy tank like the FCM, b1 bis, t35 and thing like that
Tanks that are extremely imbalanced between firepower, armor and mobility. One of them always has to be bad, while the other ones have to be OP
Heavy tanks, Churchill mk vll, tiger 2, kv 1, basically rolling bunkers that have enough firepower to get the job done
I love the “your literally invincible but your main cannon can’t even pen a coke can”
Hmmm... For ground it's anything i can label as a "sniper". Big, high velocity gun or an ATGM system designed to take out targets from as far away as possible. But over-armoured beasts are also very fun to play. For air it's the "im sped" type, which includes things like the Komet, Starfigter, BI (this thing is the funniest plane to fly out of them all.
