    Of all the landships in War Thunder, the A1E1 Independent is probably my least favorite. Whereas the other low tier heavies have some sort of gimmick with the armament, the Independent has a single 3-pounder. It is possible to club with it, but expect to get some Gaijin moments.

    A low-tier British tank you might not completely dislike and I think might be interesting for you to play Spook is the Valentine I - it's obviously very slow as an infantry tank, but the 2-pounder is still decent at 2.3, and the armour can be very trolly in downtiers or if nobody knows where to shoot you. Considering it was one of the few British tanks in the war IRL that everyone agreed was an alright tank for what it was too, it might be a nice break from the British tank suffering cycle we all know unfortunately well lol

      @@tigersympathiser2265 The damage model would need to change a lot for solid shot to work. Because part of the issue is that IRL as soon as there is penetration the tank is dead, the crew doesn't even need to be injured at all. Engine, tracks, transmission, hell, even just a crew member getting some spall in the arm causing a panic bail out, all of that takes out tanks irl but doesn't in game. Hence why solid shot underperforms a lot in game compared to irl.
      I think the solution would be for the game to model a lot more shrapnel, like, A LOT more shrapnel, including the tini tiny metal splinters, and make the crew a lot more fragile.

Then I realized, a couple weeks ago I was talking with my brothers about how they had a game that was basically an interactive cutaway book of an 18th century man o’ war, and there was ALSO shitting people wherever there was a toilet on the ship.
