8:24 I had this problem too, sometimes I burn to death even if someone helps me. The weird part is that afterwards it's like I'm lagging: I can start moving but get pushed back in position, if I shoot the round doesn't cause any damage and I can shoot instantly again(this time without the round, just the recoil animation)
The fire extinguisher not working for helping others has been like that for a while. Funny how one of the Battlepass challenges was to help others and you couldn't do one of them
That's so annoying, I bought leo 1a1 on previous week, so i was so frustratted being killed several times by fire on it, while my allies were not able to help me
8:15 its been like this for a couple of months now, being on the recieving end sucks so much, but it sucks way more that there was a battlepass challenge for it, wich was made way harder due to that bug
@@lonewanderer2797 There's a ton of those at this point. If you want only vehicles that saw official production, you'd be cutting out a significant amount of game content, especially for the minor trees.
So the c13 t90, beyond being a below average vehicle, has two significant things against it in context. It sits at 6.7, with no other Italian ground vehicles (Italy has a strong 6.3) but also at 6.3 Italy gets the aubl with the same gun, which his effectively better in most concrete ways (strong lineup, same gun lower br, simmilar survivability, much better mobility)
the mobility of the c13 is better than the aubl except on roads. it would be better if the c13 was at 6.3 as well so players could have a choice of which to use in that lineup
I main italy and i remember the only reason i was looking forward to getting this tank is that i saw its hull was resistant to .50 cals, and italy only has one vehicle at 6.3 that can actually stop .50's But then i realised it had the same turret the AUBL has, with only 8mm of armor on it and 2 of the 3 crew in it And then gaijin gave me a talisman for it later down the line
The C13 T90 is one of those tanks you look at in the armor preview and think why would they add this, then you play it and realize it's surprisingly better than a lot of other vehicles Italy gets. It's one of my favorite Italian tanks to play personally.
So, Gaijin in their quest for infinite content added an Armoured Personnel Carrier that hasn't got actual armour to speak of in a game with no infantry...
love your editing as of late. its rare for videos to make me laugh, let alone war thunder ones but the comedic timing of your commentary and editing is impeccable. keep up the good work
I would highly recommend the IKV 91. It got a little more overpowered when they added the laser rangefinder, which is what is usually talked about, but what I find unique about it is that it has an excellent response time. It seems like one of the better all-rounders outside the US tank tree.
I've played it since it's 6.7. Its laser rangefinder is the game changer. You don't have to show yourself because its shell is HEATFS which have same damage at every range. And because it's HEATFS, it have drop ratw which you can shoot behind the terrain while enemy can't see you.
There is a known bug thats been around for at least 3 weeks where you cannot help fire extinguish teammates. It doesn't work at all (in my case, I only play with a friend). We assisted at least 6 fires between us and it failed everytime. Yet it still consumes an extinguisher.
“You can’t even get spotted or you just die.” Welcome to Italy, Spookston. Half of the tech tree is medium Shermans that don’t get Sherman armor, even on angleing. I will recommend the 4.7 case mate that behaves like a STUG and eats KV-1 shot like a champ when angled.
i played this thing for a while, it was literal hell without premium and it being the highest BR tank in my lineup despite being that bad. the only success i had with it was peeking walls in reverse so the enemy shoots the empty back of the tank and does nothing, also the scope magnification is fun
Loving the edits and commentary on this, really like the evolution in content you've gone through over the past years (and it was already really good). :)
It's due to the 6.0 BR, play any nation 6.0 and you'll often get favourable BR's. Simple reason being: Very few nations have 7.0 tanks, and even fewer have proper lineups for them so it is basically a dead BR. People who play 7.0 generally just end up including their 7.3 tanks, and the ones who do play 7.0 just get dragged up to 8.0 which is a pretty filled BR range.
@Sandwiches. I outright skipped from 6.7 until 9.7 on the US tree. Grinded my way to 9.7 by just playing 6.0 and 6.7 (never 6.3) and now I have a decent lineup at 10.7/11.0 I really don't see the appeal of cold war tanks tbh.
It's supposed to carry 9 infantry in the back, thus the reason there is no extra ammo storage there. Designed through a partnership of two private companies as a replacement for the M113, it never went into production.
Its funny how my first ever nuke was achieved thanks to this thing, and from my experience even before the nuke this thing was actually quite fun to play, especially when I use HESH. I find HESH to be a lot more preferable to HEAT in a lot of my games.
Since you mentioned the m56 mind if you play it? It’s one of my favorites since you can get to fun spots and hide and kill most things even at high br.
I love how the T92 has a HEATFS round as around the same pen, while reloading faster, having a higher velocity, and being lower caliber. But it also has APDS, a much lower profile, and a .50 cal, at the same BR.
I wish APCs would have the troops they could carry as part of the crew. They would just serve as backup crew. While helping with FPE doesnt work (extra fun cause it was one of the requirements for a battlepass mission", I guess we have to be happy that helping with repairing doesnt just increase the repair time.
@@ShiverMeTimbers93 true But most of the Italian tanks have that issue so I think that’s how gaijin balances them Tanks like this is why the Italian player base is so skilled They have to work with tanks that are much more difficult My best game in this tank was a 12 kill game and 6 assists I then got a nuke So There is that
@@bornonthebattlefront4883 Issue is that even if the vehicles are good on paper, the guns in general and calibers are unbalanced and all over the place. Some planes are missing bombs, and literally no fighters in this tech tree get air spawn unless the match automatically does it
I don't really know why they added this thing, it's literally the AUBL 74 but slightly more mobile and significantly larger. It's even got the same turret so it can still be killed by a 7.62 from the front. And they still put it at 6.7, while the aubl is 6.3
"Why am I a CAS magnet?!", he askes driving the chonky boi... On a more serious note, anything that can be penned by 14.5x114mm AP or less is a joke imo.
"Does everyone know you can .50 cal this?!" No, but when Americans see an Italian vehicle the start blastng .50 because 11 times out of 10 it will go through
I am currently researching this thing and I've never seen anyone play it and I don't remember seeing anyone use it. I wanted to see what it was like. The first 10 seconds of this video pretty well set the pace 🤣🤣
Spookston is one of the few reasons I still play whenever I get one of those bad spells where it seems the previous week you were averaging 3-4 kills a game and this week I am getting maybe 1 a game and returning to hanger way before the round is over.
The same thing with double-gun R3 T106 - it's totally nerfed, have only 10 cumulative shots with bad ballistics (withour laser-rangefinder), 0 stabilization and armour, and, exactly Gaijin - now it is 8.0 BR
"yes and you call it an armoured personnel carrier despite the fact it can be penetrated by rifle fire?" "well.... you know.... one thing I should...."

You could try object 268. I think its pretty strong with that 152mm cannon and 14,5mm heavy machine gun.
It's also quite fast for a heavy tank destroyer.

This is basically a non 50cal proof sta1 with scouting and in 6.7 for some reason.
Because the back of this APC is empty, you can bait enemies into shooting it, youll never die from it
