you might think – it's just another fast vehicle, not a big deal? oh no.
After playing this vehicle you will splityour war thunder experience into 2 parts.
before you tried this SPAA and after.
and every tanks mobility you will compareto this one.
Becouse speed for it is not just the abilityto capture point first at the begginning of a match, no! You can already hide at enemies capture pointwhile they are just capturing it.
For this vehicle significant mobility advantageis what it's gameplay is based around.
speed is the key to survive and attack others.
TADADADAMFirst of all revelation- being fast doesnt destroy enemy tanks so lets take a look athow you will get rid of opponents.
DAMAGEThe vehicle is equipped with 20mm autocannon that can shoot 2 shell types:High explosive fragmentation incendiary -whitch has low penetration but very effective againstaircraft and Armor piercing incendiary tracer – thatgives you a good chances to deal with enemy ground forces IF you get close enough, becousethe penetration of 20mm bullets is not so bigand a small mass makes it loose penetration very quickly over range.
and both of theese shells are present in all3 belt types just in different proportions.
default one has equal amount of both of themanother has 2 high explosive and 1 armor piercing bullets making it more effective against airtargets While the last one is opposite and has morearmor piercing shells.
this way no matter what belt type you useyou will allways have bullets that could penetrate armor or explode on impactmaking all belts viable against all types of targets.
In other words out of two shell types youare given three belt types to choose from and they all are the combination of theesetwo shells.
Yet you still have to make a decision andusually you will benefit more by having more armor piercing projectiles, becouse aircraftare VULNURABLE targetS that can be destroyed by any type of ammunition while mostground targets wil be completely immune to high explosive ones making a huge portionof your shots ineffective.
On the other hand cannons rate of fire ofallmost 1000 shots per minute, its so fast that it can be hard to distinguish belt typesanyway, as even if you load belt that contains two thirds of high explosive bulletsgun still shoots 5 armor piercing projectiles per second.
What matters more is effectiveness of yourshots, as if you use ineffective belt it can take more time to destroy tanksand it's not only that the longer opponents live the longer they pose threat to you it'salso about conserving ammunition.
You start a match with 600 bullets and withyour rate of fire thats enough for about 35 seconds of continuous fire.
The problem is that 600 bullets are hold asone clip.
That could be a good thing as you dont needto reload between the engagements, but when you do need to reload – that happens whenyou run out of ammunition – you face a lot of problems.
first – you need to get to a capture pointto replenish your ammo second – it must be captured by your team.
– when there is only one point on a map andit belongs to opponents there is little you can do when your ammunition runs out to captureit.
3rd – ammo replenishment takes long time about1 minute – that means that you have to stand still for this duration usually on a middleof a map on a spot that both teams are fighting forso it gets the most attention and where most artillery shells are dropped.
So running out of ammunition should be avoidedif you dont want to face all theese problems.
ARMORSurviving in a heat of battle is even more difficult becouse the vehicle allmost doesn'thave armor.
I'ts made of alluminium whitch is great tomake vehicle lighter or sell it as scrap , but it's less effective against shellsthan standard armor plates.
The thickest 33 milimeters of armor platesare in front and becouse they are angled you can reliably tank high caliber machine guns.
But once you expose your sides even the weakestweapons in a game will do damage.
Though not everything is so bad as usuallyyou can survive after being shot thanks to 4 crew members whitch is unusually large amountof people in such a small vehicle.
And sometimes even APHE shells fuses won'tactivate.
But if enemies use high explosive shells hullbreak mechanics will sent you to hangar instantly.
speedThe thing that really can help you to stay alive under enemy fire is your mobility, it'sso significant!!.
For the most fast vehicles the speed advantageis just the ability to get to a capture point first then suicideand respown in a plane.
For this vehicle it's an effective way todisengage if you dont want to figh the opponent.
So many times i was driving through the mapjust to run into heavily armored opponent – usualy soviet- and while they where tryingto turn their turret towards me i just passed them byto hide under next corner.
Just make sure you maintain your speed anddont hit any obstacles that could slow you down.
becouse with such little mass every fenceor tree can completely stop your vehicle.
Unless of course you clean your way with machinegunwhitch you should be doing when maintaining speed is more important than staying hidden.
Interesting thing is that appearantly allthe mass is located at the bottom of a vehicle as sometimes when making sharp turns at highspeed and especially if you shoot in the direction of turnit gets so close to rolling over but it still recovers most of the time.
though it still slows you down and rollingover can be fatal when you are circling your target.
And you will drive around your targets incircles a lot, becouse vehicle so effective in doing it.
As you combine both keeping your vehicle awayfrom where enemies gun is pointing and attacking them from different angles.
very often becouse small penetration of yourprojectiles only enemys side armor can be penetrated and you will need to look for weakspots and additionaly make sure to posittion in a such way thatyour shots hit enemies armor at 90 degrees for maximum penetration.
Fortunately firing on a move is extremelyeasy and feels natural when playing the vehicle , becouse it has a stabilizer whitch in additionto autocannons ability to spam shells allows you to completely ignore hull movementsand keep moving while your opponents will have to stop to shoot precisely.
Another good thing that helps you to circleopponents is the ability to rotate your gun 45 degrees per second whitch is one of thefastest among all spaa's of the same battle ratingand completely outperforms any usual tank.
Gun depression is very good -10degreesThough vertical guidance allows you to elevate gun to a maximum of 60degrees thats somethingin a middle of spaa and tank, it might be harder to defend against enemy planes attackingyou right from above but usually aircraft is trying to stay awayfrom you anyway and even if they do it's very hard for them to hit a fast moving targetfrom that position.
ABIn arcade vehicle is mostly limited to attacking air targets.
As light vehicle can do very little in a gamemode where enemies can see your nametag.
Mostly becouse you need to get very closeso that your shells could penetrate and even than , if enemies know your position theywill turn to you in advance and frontal attacks is notthe strong side of the vehicle.
Plus majority of opponents in arcade are cowardswho hide behind thick steel plates so they will play heavy or medium tanks making yourattacks even less effective.
On the other hand your gun placement can helpwith survivability.
as you dont have turret you can feel relatively safe if you bravelyhide your hull, leaving only gun visible as enemy fire is unlikely to damage your crewthis way while the gun can allways be repaired.
So the best role in arcade is pure SPAA , butat least it's very good spaa.
Vehicle left me very good impressions.
Battles are allways dynamic you are allwayson a move or behind enemy lines so there is allways some action happening around you.
And even when it's somewhere else you canquickly get there.
It is mostly effective at the beginning andat the end of a match.
in the beginning it can be used to capturepoints that are further away, not only for mobility but becouse the first enemies thatwill arrive will be light tanks whitch will be an easy targetfor your autocannon.
As battle goes on it gets more dangerous asyou will not be safe when enemy forces spread around the map and towards the end of a matchthere will be plenty of planes to kill and since less players are left inground vehicles and overall in match it will be harder to controll all capture points somobility starts to be valued again.
I will rate the vehicle 8 drivers out of 10An overall amazing vehicle can fight air and ground targets, it has a significant advantagein speed against armored opponents and anything with less armor is justan easy target for your autocannons, you destroy them in seconds without even stopping.
And despite using wheeles instead of tracksstill maintains biggest speed on sand or snow.
But sometimes you will face a heavy armoredopponents like KV-1 and you will have no options just to break their gun and run away.
Plus if you have to move across open fieldenemies will destroy you before you will get close enough for your fire to be effective.
So it's not the most effective choice in therole of anti tank vehicle.
becouse of that i cannot rate it 10 drivers.
And still it's one of the most fun vehiclesand a must have for anyone who enjoys light tanks.
