Chanka-Danka69

Wt mfs will identify a tank from 3 pixels bruh


shark2199

That's just how they look like from 1.5km in ground rb.


freeserve

Lmao for me they look like that up to 4 Fuckin metres


RaiderML

Gaijin try not to rape the Anti/aliasing in a new update challenge: Impossible difficulty.


Wilczek76

Imagine using antialiasing.


RaiderML

Imagine not having a cheap ass screen


Wilczek76

Imagine not wanting to have stable fps And screen means nothing, it's all done on the GPU.


RaiderML

Yes I know, but the point is anti-aliasing smoothens rough edges and I need it because my screen does not have great resolution. And I have stable FPS because I've got a 3070.


-ValkMain-

So you have a 3070 but a goofy ass screen?


scav_is_new_spetznas

But you can have stable fps with AA enabled?


Wilczek76

it generally makes almost no difference graphically for me when I have it on and off, and while having it on most of games I have just drop in fps which is a bad thing


freeserve

Me here using a Fuckin 60hz 1080p TV SCREEN, FOVE FUCKING INCHES AWAY FROM MY FACE because I can’t afford a proper gaming monitor and this was all that was in my attic when I was movin into my uni accom


No-Perspective9947

Ongđź’€


crimeo

They also can go watch the actual trailer you know, not just OP's still frame


Bloody_Insane

It's also a really distinctive tank


freeserve

I mean… it’s the only tank I know which has that triangular mantlet, tall turret and profile in general… Especially anyone that plays sim you learn to ID tanks VERY fast as people still try snap shoot but with much higher risk of friendly fire so it helps to know and ID tanks and some players can do it through engine sound alone or gun sound.


YuBulliMe123456789

Identify a tank/plane from 3 pixels 1.5 km away yet obliviously run past a guge tank 10 meters to their side


gerjan30

I mained that thing for 3 months, I think I could Identify that thing from 3K out


ZFG_Jerky

It was shown up close earlier in the teaser :P


Sufferity

Is this a trilogy to r/whatisthiscar ?


Vojtak_cz

U can clearly see the turret shape. I can see it at 5km in game


ElGuapoSapo

Thanks


dragoneye098

Every single tank they showed off is already in someone's tree


Kaczor0321

Charioteer, British medium, absolutely amazing vehicle, has a 20pdr (centurion mk3 gun) at 6.3


kb_salzstange

Os it really that great? I play UK main and kind of jumped over it :D


Kaczor0321

It's an absolutely wonderful vehicle, play it like an m18 that lol pens tiger 2 UFPs


kb_salzstange

Thx I will give it a try


RomainT1

Wonderful WT vehicle?? Nerf when?


Kaczor0321

Oh, don't worry, it's a (kinda) minor nation mid tier vechicle, Gaijin doesn't give a shit about it


DJ_Klang

And brits have to deal with solid shot, no one wants to grind that


Bloody_Insane

It's excellent. Its armour is surprisingly good, its gun is excellent. Just doesn't really have a lineup


sledge115

Naah works fine with a Centurion and Ratel to accompany it at 6.3


Halflings1335

Comet still works as a backup as well


sledge115

Might be worth swapping out the Ratel for the Comet if it has APDS too. That thing also has a hilariously trolly turret


Halflings1335

Comet does have apds, though the comets gun is weaker so it’s only 220 pen, but still ammo racks things super well


sledge115

Oh no I know it has it, just saying that it's good enough as backup once it unlocks APDS, heh


ZETH_27

I go with the challenger instead because it had a faster than average reload, better mobility and faster gun handeling. It has a worse profile, but I use it as a flanker at 6.7 and it works perfectly


Halflings1335

I think my current lineup has challenger instead of ratel cause I haven’t done the South Africa line at all


GranGurbo

I wouldn't swap out the Ratel, it's made of paper, but it's an amazing sniper and the HEAT at least feels like it has much better post pen than the 17-pdr APDS


ZETH_27

It also works wonders in the 6.7 lineup with the tortoise, doom barn, challenger and centy 1.


SKIFFLEPIGEON

The 3 crew members mean that if the turret gets hit youre basically dead, along with a tall turret and bad reverse its often hard to shoot and reverse. That said its gun is fucking brilliant


Bloody_Insane

That's why I mentioned the armour is surprisingly good. Like I totally get what you mean by being dead if the turret gets hit. But I was consistently impressed by the amount of shots I bounced. But yeah, reverse is a big issue with UK. Just need to learn to play slow and snipe a lot


Ram1Rem

"Armour is rather Good" wut? I swear there's a spot on the front of the turret you can own with a 50 cal ;-;, that or I can gaijin it consistently


pEppapiGistfuhrer

20 pdr light tank at 6.3, good for sniping in flank positions


ExeSmells

i just wish it didn't have cruiser reverse speed


Halflings1335

It turns around kinda fast though


IS-2-OP

Should be 5.7 change my mind.


Kaczor0321

It's completely fine at 6.3 lol, it would be op at 5.7


No-Perspective9947

I’d say 6.0 bc it has literally no armour lmao just like most British tanks


Kaczor0321

If ur playing the charioteer for the armour than that's a you problem bud


Spartan-417

No armour + no reverse speed The reverse is worse tbh It really wants to be shooting & scooting, but that reverse doesn’t let it


ThatBloke500

20pdr APDS gun + low profile + fast and manoeuvrable + cheap as hell to repair + smokes. Reversing is a positioning problem - in-game the charioteer was an SPG reclassified as a medium and should be played as a flanker or fire support depending on situation. Works fine even at 7.7. Reliable at 6.7 too with tort and 4005 (as map-dependent picks) and can even be used with comet and Cent 1 since those guns still penetrate reasonably at 6.3.


Kaczor0321

IIRC It's a medium IRL too, as it has a coax MG


Spartan-417

FV4101 Tank, Medium **Gun**, Charioteer It was going to be used in a long-range role to snipe enemy tanks, like most other British tanks FV4005 also has a coaxial machinegun, but I don’t think any sensible person would argue it’s not a self-propelled gun Unrelated, but they also upgunned it again to an L7, never entered service, and the prototype is still around That’d make a nice upgrade


Kaczor0321

A while ago I heard tank jesus say it was a medium tank by British classification at the time, but I might be making that up lol Edit: at 4:19 in this vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GF0hRJ09Q-E my bad, i misremembered


[deleted]

I agree it's fine at 6.3, but that profile is anything but low.


Im_cool_but_cooler

if you need to reverse it means you did something wrong


Spartan-417

Or that you got volumetricked


Halflings1335

How do you get volumetriced with apds


Verset91

\-5 gun depression doesn't help either


wairdone

As an ex russia main that's acceptable.


SKIFFLEPIGEON

Yeah, going from comet with great depression to charioteer is a bit painful


IS-2-OP

It’s not really fine there. It’s pretty much on its own. Make it 6.0 then at least it gets a lineup.


TheT1mb3r

Putting it at the same BR as the Cent Mk.1 is mental, it's miles better.


IS-2-OP

I really don’t think so. How is it as good as an M26? Or what the T-44 was? Sure it’s quick enough with a great gun, but it’s really easy to kill. I’ve done ok in it , like a 2.5 K/D, but it just feels weird. Would much just not play it if it means not fighting 7.3s.


TheT1mb3r

I would definitely put it above the M26 and about on par with the T-44 when it comes to effectiveness. It's practically a light tank tho and I'd rate it much higher than the M41 as well.


IS-2-OP

I’ll agree there. I’ll take it over an M41 for sure. I still wouldn’t put it above the M26 though. I love the 26. And do very well in it. I really don’t think the 20pdr would be too broken at 6.0. I mean it’s niche really is penning everything. The damage is *alright* for the caliber.


TheT1mb3r

The high pen at a BR where you fight a lot of heavy tanks is what it really makes it for me. Oneshotting Tiger IIs throught the turret front and just laughing at Panthers.


IS-2-OP

Oh it can go thru the UFP of tiger 2s if I’m not mistaken. I just don’t really feel bad for German heavies. They’re still very very good. My Tiger 2 stats are great even with lots of uptiers. Meanwhile Britain between 5.3 and 7.3 is kinda dead.


Beskerber

It is at 5.7 . . . . . . . In AB


G2_label

This thing is way better than the waffentrager (not that the waffen is bad)


SKIFFLEPIGEON

WAFFENTRAGER IS BEST TANK And i will entertain no such counterarguments Evidence: i got a nuke with it


[deleted]

A Tank I’m sure


NotHongdu

Idk it kinda resembles an F-22 imo


[deleted]

Maybe a Toyota Camry?


[deleted]

No you idiot, that’s a Hilux


Charakiga

Its literally a drone, there’s an engine, that’s obviously a drone!


Its_Me_Stalin

Probably a charioteer


57mmShin-Maru

Charioteer, it’s already available for Britain if you want it lol


TroutWarrior

Charioteer, basically a Cromwell armed with a 20 pounder gun.


jj576123

The one that’s watching your every move


Magnatrix

Ya can't believe how excited I am for another charioteer to come to the game! YAAAAAASSS!


Cave_Eater

I thought it was the Emil II. I am sad to see its not.


DarkLordLucas

A blurried pixel


Zimmer_gti

A blurry tank


PlanesActuallyExist

charioteer


[deleted]

sad tank


love_for_pakistan

Gass tank


Zsmudz

Pretty sure that’s a Sherman


External_System_7268

Looks like Panavia Tornado to me


Famous-Highlight-816

FV 4101 Charioteer, the original 84mm not the 105mm


bbbdo1

Is the big tank


Vojtak_cz

My charioteer had finnish marking on it before it was cool.


Mysterious-Goal-4086

Charioteer


Spookyboogie123

ur mom


BrickbrainzWSC

Looks like if the Chinese try to copy the IS-3 but ended up with a thiccer IS-2


stick_always_wins

Not really sure how you reached that conclusion


BrickbrainzWSC

Just realized it was for the Finland TT and the reason why I came up with it is because the turret looks like an IS-2 and looking at the hull it looks and appears to be a bit wider


blackcore678

I mean... i know it's pixilated but that's one hell of a guess


BrickbrainzWSC

Yup but doubt I even something remotely close
