    The M103 is the ultimate US heavy tank in War Thunder. Its armor isn't very great in anything besides full downtiers, but the cannon is pretty punchy.

      Could you try the CV90105, or maybe the lineup of CV90 at 10.0 (you can also use the leopards at 10.3). I’m grinding Sweden right now and that looks like my favorite looking lineup rn after looking through the tech tree.

    What kills the M103 in WT for me is you wanna use the AP, but if you run into a soviet heavy, it’s almost worthless the way it’s currently modeled, so you’re forced to use heat-fs which has bad post pen. In reality, the M103 could pen the front plate of an is-4 at over 2000m with its AP round, but Gaijin took its pen at 60 degrees at 2000m irl and set it as the pen at 0m in game and removed some penetration even from that.

    Fun fact the m103 has the highest shell energy of any tank ever produced at 13,149,548 joules. The 50lb shell traveled at a speed of 2,387mph. This is equivalent to being hit by a Ford F150 at 250mph. The only tank to surpass the m103 in shell energy was the Soviet object 120, which was never produced. There are pictures of the m103's shell online, which nears the height of one of the tank's crew.

    I love using the HEAT FS in an uptier because the pen on the AP is depressing (for no reason as other commenters have pointed out) but the AP does better post-pen which makes it better for downtiers where the pen isn’t as necessary. So I always swap my ammo loadout depending on the matchmaking, and I find way more success than just sticking to either AP or HEAT with some HE in supply.

    Hey Spookston, this is unrelated to the video, but do you think the 90mm M3 gun underperforms in this game?

    This is probably the coolest looking heavy tank the US made.

    Spookston would you rather have a fast vehicle with AP or a slow vehicle with APHE

    Hi Spookston! I would love to see you play the PTZ89! With it's stock 400mm+ penetrating round and a 5 second reload at 8.7, I'm surprised I don't see it played out more often :)
