@@MrBucket9158 also are you also wondering what Crack Gaijin was on when they added the M2A2? Everyone says .50 are OP. I have that thing spaded and it's dogturds
the 1a2? i don't really think it is that good it at a BR where it get out perform by most atgm carrier/IFV even if it is small thermal sight and the new missile wire expose you after a single shot, on the other damn hand the 1a4 variant with 20mm is such a lil shit to fight with how small and bush up it can be at a BR where thermal is not wide spread one of those in your flank can tore through half a team of MBT
@@kitsubrown as I already said it works if you can find yourself a crater or a small pit where you can fully cover yourself. Your size in such situation isn't counseling or hiding you in any way, it is nothing but a fact that gives you more wide selection of cover. If you in such ditch/pit/crater you can 100% safely fire your TOW2B and aim with a 3rd person view without ever exposing yourself.
I noticed a distinct lack of rats. ASU 57, M56, M50, the Wiesel trio, the AS 42 duo, AB 43, R3 T106, BT series, AUBL, and the biggest rat in the game next to the M22 the M18
If you're gonna call the AUBL a rat, then at least include the FIAT 6614. I'll regularly run out of ammo in that thing before I die. Little big for my definition of Raticts tho
@@camdenarnett193 The Fiat should go without saying since its basically the same thing as the T106 just with one less gun. I also didnt mention the Pumas because those should also go without saying. Uptiering rat vehicles is pretty common and the Puma is not very big compared to most things people usually uptier it against. It doesnt have to be absolutely tiny to be a rat, just smaller than most. The playstyle is the most important thing. The Ru 251 can be a rat but its best played more like a discount Leo 1. All i was saying is, there was only a single vehicle in that list that wasnt rank I. And now that im thinking about it, special mention to the AML's just because theyre French and rank IV France is actually kinda scary
VERY surprised no one's said the WW2 German Puma (Sdkfz 234/2) Great speed, great turn rate Decent survivability for an armored car Decent 50mm gun and raload rate for 3.3 (formerly 2.7 within my memory) It's actually fun to use while zooming through the map at 56 MPH
Not really rat sized but exceedingly fun to play in a similar strategy is the Breda. It has a chonky cannon and high speed as well as surprisingly good gun handling at high speeds.
@Batzero8515 they are the new kings of the 6.3 to 6.7 br now. I use the fiat to bully heavy tanks!! I'm so fast that their turret traverse can't keep up, 106 mm heat will pen everything, and has more than enough explosive filler to finish them off.
ZSU-57-2 is definitely deserving of a spot here even though its 7.0 and not super fast (50kmh) it still rips most tanks apart and is absolutely a pain in the ass to kill without big HE rounds
Yeah cause they have a surprisingly fast reload of base 3.7 and upgraded with crew will ender the realm of 2 second reload thats like auto loader speed
I'd like to point out that the L3 has a very distinct advantage on maps with points, it can get to some very hard to see and reach places and contest or capture a point. Such places include concrete pipes, buildings, and up stairs above where literally _everyone else_ cannot get to or see it. I say it deserves C or B tier if we take into account such things.
The martincitoants style of editing that is making waves on yt now is amazing, it finally feel like a higher grade of video quality is becoming the norm. Keep up the great work man
I used to rat with the M22 at 5.3 back when its AP could pen the back of panthers and Tigers and would use the tactical headbutt method to get right up on a tigers rear and shoot their engine until they ran out of FPE, truly those were the days of peak ratting with that thing

Personal Rat List/Suggestions: Sdkfz 234/1: A somewhat older vehicle from the Obj 279 event. Equipped with same 20mm turret as found on the 222, however on the chassis of a Puma at the same BR (formerly 1.7), resulting in incredibly dubious moments. Ikv 103 (Aka: *The Bean*): No armor (you can overpressure yourself on a wall) and very poor muzzle velocity. HOWEVER, at 4.0 it comes equipped with 400mm pen HEAT-FS and a whopping -16 degrees of gun depression, allowing you to abuse hills and the poor velocity allows you lob HEAT-FS over cover. Viable all the way until ERA starts regularly appearing at 8.0. M8A1: M8 Scott as seen by its tech tree variant. However while the TT has a 75mm Howie that can be fairly poo, the M8A1 comes equipped with a 75mm M3 and M61 shot providing you equal penetration to a sherman. This vehicle becomes quite slimey around 5.7 where it works great at flank and spanks. Wiesel 1A2: With one of the most fitting names for a vehicle I've ever seen, this version comes equipped with a TOW launcher that works great at hull down, hide-and-seek, and the headbutt tactic. ZiS-30: A literal tractor with a 57mm ZiS-2 AT gun taped on top offering 145mm of pen at 2.7. While the post-pen damage on the 57 leaves a bit to be desired, its size and pen allows it to punch way above its weight class as it snakes around, ambushing opponents. Just be wary of arty and CAS cucks. Eland 90: Personal favorite due to sheer cuteness. It rains superior to the bog standard AML in the fact that is has a slightly more powerful engine, a .30 M1919 instead of the MAC, and the fact its not Fr*nch. Type 87 RCV: While not as potent as it formerly was at 7.3 it can still be a menace, boasting a speed comparable to the R3 in a smaller package. Equipped with a 25mm KBA with 92mm pen darts it can use its speed to easily zip around and destroy/annoy anything it comes across. M8 Greyhound: Not the smallest in size but comes equipped with a .50 cal at reserve tier making it a very potent threat. Can (and historically has) killed a King Tiger. Wierdly avaible in tech tree for China but event only for US. Thanks Gaijobama. Breda 501 "Mussolini Bus": Another Italian silly factory. The 90mm gun of the Semovente 90/53 on a wheeled chassis. While not the smallest, the stock shell has a whopping 520g of TNT making it a one-shot machine. Very exposed crew. FIAT 6614/R3 T106: Two more Italian Wheely boys with top-mounted recoiless rifles. The top mounting of the rifles allows them to shoot while completely behind cover and near invisible to enemies. This combined with their speed and small size allows them very dumb early game positions that will send many back to the hangar. Sdkfz 234/4: Puma with a PaK 40. Nuff said. USH: A smaller, automatic version of T106. Personally, I still prefer the T106. The USH is very unstable and not as quick, and the auto fire must be kept in check or else you will run out of ammo very quick (and the cap point reload is very slow). It also only has 2 crew members coupled with its size makes it much less survivable than the R3. Just get the Raketenautomat. M53 Praga: PANTERI, PANTERI. VI STE HRABI MOMCI.

Hey, professional rat enjoyer here. Other notable rats are the Puma, R3 T106 FA, ASU-57, BT-42, AMX/AML-90, Wiesel 1A4/1A2, ELC BIS, E.B.R. (any variant), AS-42/AS-42|47, BT-7, Any of the British SARCs (and maybe even the Daimler MK II or AEC AA if they're used correctly)(Really any small wheeled vehicle can be given rat status with enough reflexes and keyboard slaving). I hate the U-SH 405 with every fiber of my being, but must admit it is a extremely good (and pretty cancerous) high-tier rat. Rat tactics (Racticts) can also be employed to some extent with the American M-56 and M-50, but are a little more difficult. The Russian milk trucks are also like this. Good in the right circumstances, but god forbid your enemy has a machine gun or has their front facing you.
@@MrBucket9158 Fair. Bushes are good in some situations, but in others (Like when you're trying to hide your L3/33 inside of a building to block the enemy from capping a point), bushes might actually make you more obvious. I usually decorate my Rats in bright colors and racing stripes. If you want any content for a future video, I can gladly get you some (on account of my unreasonable amount of rats).
The swedish U-SH 405. Basically R3 with semi automatic rockets Great video but the audio could use a lil bit of work cause i couldn't hear what you were saying at times Cheers!
The U-SH 405 is disgusting Absolutely foul Bain of every WT player's existence The only place it belongs is under a FAB-5000 Anyone who plays the U-SH should uninstall the game and think about what they've done with their lives But yeah, pretty god-tier rat all things considered
@@russman3787 I'm not sure if it's the USH or the Turm III (or VFW lol) but it's sure up there. One of those things that makes you feel like a bully to play. It has fully earned it's nickname, the swedish cancer car
i love the M22 locust. i bring it to all my linups, no matter BR. i got the "street brawler" achievment (destroy 2 player vehicles within 30 seconds from a distance of 10 meters or less) in it in a 5.3 game. it was a VK panther and a t34 85. best feeling in the game.
M18 Hellcat definitely. I only snipe and sit about 1k out, but the antics are hilarious because I yeet it over bumps and hills until i get into my spider hole. Love it so much that I run it with my M41A1 over the M56. Id give it at least give it a A. You can get into a good far spot early game and scout for a while occasionally picking off other tanks so your hole isnt compromised. Oh, and it can be just like a higher pen M22 with a 76mm. They can make a R3 run in fear. Its great at being a trap door spider, but it can definitely be a great A in this department
ASU-57 is incredibly good due to it's high agility, easy concealability and gun that can face all but the strongest vehicles, so it's often used to get god mode at top tier.
AB43 is a high-tier rat too... the cannon in the turret makes up for all the shortcomings of the AB41. also the AB-42 varients are fun to play with too.
Funnily enough, out of all the rat tanks here, the only one I can’t ever be mad at is L3-33. It’s so adorably underpowered that when it kills Me I can’t help but congratulate it. And playing as one. It’s satisfying to actually get kills with it.
@@Taboose7665 well yes but its higher br so there will be less inexperienced people meaning you are going to get spotted. But yes the round is really ratty.
Fiat 6614 makes an excellent rat when you realize the front can deflect 50 cal shots and the gun is so high up you can have it poking out without worrying about getting shot, not to mention the 5 crewman which makes it almost impossible to oneshot without over pressure
Man if you do a part 2 you need to play the pbil m/40. A fast Swedish event vehicle at like 1.7. 40 mm of pen in a auto cannon that has 36 rounds and a 1 second reload.
Are we gonna talk about the absurd quality, use of memes, humor in this video for a 1.6K sub channel. You gained another one without a doubt but heck this better blow up
my rat nomination is the M56 scorpion, it is my absolute favorite vehicle in the game. having a yeet cannon on top of a tiny chassis just makes me smile every single time a king tiger goes kablooey
With the BT series, and side note idk yet if it’s mentioned, but the F-32(?) premium of the BT-7 is honestly a great rat. It’s got the mobility of the BT-7 with a better gun and the benefit of being oddly expensive nowadays. Honestly I don’t even remember grinding for it but I’ve had it forever.
Celere Sahariano is my favorite rat tank. I've got over 500 battles in it, making it my most-played tank. It has armor that bounces too many shots and an amazing shell that one shots almost every time you pen.
Would have given an additional point for the french L3 for at least having the ben pen of is entire lineup and for the 25mm dealing actual damage somehow
Actually you can destroy panthers with the M22 locust. Just try to be im their side (they cant aim at you if you are under them) and then thanks to your hobbit size aim your main gun to the 3rd wheel or the 4rd wheel counting from the front and shoot between the wheels and the side skirts. And then try to hear the muffled Nein Nein Nein Nein while you Ring the panther with your frodo. I call this tactic: The Trollkien
I knew I recognized this style of video! I saw the decal on that M22, and I was certain. Martin’s style is amazing for War Thunder, I look forward to seeing if you make any more videos for other types of vehicles.
Going to have to add the Fox to this list. It's basically a R3 that's slightly slower but with a gun that can pen the sides of most of the enemies it faces (once you get the APDS belt).
Love the way you edit your videos! My favorite rat by far is amx13 fl10. Like it's small, it's nible, and it's gun can punch through sides of basically any vehicle in the game
BT-5/BT-7 also deserves its spot. Truly the perfect rat tank. Literally the fastest tank ever made and the tank that still holds the record for longest jump ever performed by a tank. There’s also a rare premium version of it that’s basically a BT-7 with a T-34 cannon.
Earlier today I tried out the m22 in a test drive (because I’ve not yet reasearched it), and WOW that thing is ridiculously fast it accelerates to 60 kph in no time, so of course I had to research it and spade it asap
Sadly, the L3 has slowly lost its place with all the BR changes. However, for a unique forgotten rat tank, the French LVT-4/40 is a forgotten BP vehicle that you can't get anymore.
I am a certified rat enjoyer, though I was confused by the video, as I had mostly forgotten, that you can play rats at their intended BR. I am with you on the good old squeeze boi. My first love. Has some trouble at times, but in a flank you can bring an IS 2 down pretty reliably (if updates didn't change stuff since then) The missing one is obviously the Wiesel family. The Wiesel 1A4 the obvious choice. On 9.7 it murders light tanks, but Russian MBTs need armor view and test drive studies. Wiesel 2A1 (TOW): A menace if positioned right. Can even "brawl" MBTs, because if they turn a corner, you get the first shot. Ozelot: Less obvious, but a IR missile SPAA, that can hide behind any given house, can ruin anything that gets in the 5 km range, which is 90% of aircraft players.
Gotta love me some type 60 SPRG, probally best rat, poor armour, anti tank grenade and HESH and its real tiny, bout as small as an l33, just slightly bigger, oh yeah, it has two of those guns for ultimate bait and goes 60ish KPH
Wiesel 1a4. Gen3 Thermals, smol, fast, 100 round clip is enough to dismantle and kill a heavy tank, even less for others. It can also up tier pretty well since higher tiers can have more weak points for autocannons, and the thermals really do hold up Downside is bad torque, if you hit something, it feels sluggish. Among other things like no armor and the 20mm is not stabalized, like the l33 it can be bouncy and takes patience. I usually average 3 ground kills a game with the wiesel 1a4 and it is my favorite rat.
As the R3 king I would like to make a request of the R3 T106🤌🇮🇹 Also I had the biggest grin across my face the whole time you explained the R3 tactics😈
Fun fact: The AB-41's autocannon is good if you research the APCR ammo. I saw this vid first before switching to the Italy tree bc I wanted to get the L3. So I was BIASED into not liking this vehicle. But turns out, it was actually fun, and actually VERY GUD. It is one annoying thing to come up against (if you don't one shot it first) and deserves a higher ranking.
We need a sequel/revisit once you get some of the higher ranked rats. The dual recoilless rifle R3, ofc, the USH. Plenty of weird shit at higher tier to rat with
All the pumas, all the bt 5/7s (especially the 76mm), m8a1, t55e1, ke-ni, type 60 sprg, r3 t106, fiat 6614, breda bus (italy has a lot of rats), the ebrs, the type 87s, the pz.sfl aka mini tiger, type 62. Thats all I can really name that are rat or rat like that I haven't seen people post about already (tho some are event vehicles and will be exclusive rare rats).

@@bro3217 Oh, Im so sorry. Let me edit that for you
@@CheezeSpartanthe m8 also sunk a french barracuda class submarine in a friendly fire incident
Hey, professional rat enjoyer here. Other notable rats are the Puma, R3 T106 FA, ASU-57, BT-42, AMX/AML-90, Wiesel 1A4/1A2, ELC BIS, E.B.R. (any variant), AS-42/AS-42|47, BT-7, Any of the British SARCs (and maybe even the Daimler MK II or AEC AA if they're used correctly)(Really any small wheeled vehicle can be given rat status with enough reflexes and keyboard slaving). I hate the U-SH 405 with every fiber of my being, but must admit it is a extremely good (and pretty cancerous) high-tier rat.
Rat tactics (Racticts) can also be employed to some extent with the American M-56 and M-50, but are a little more difficult. The Russian milk trucks are also like this. Good in the right circumstances, but god forbid your enemy has a machine gun or has their front facing you.
You were also using your L3/33 wrong. There wasn't nearly enough bushes on that thing
Lol, I’ll look into those!
I was going to bush it up but then I’d have to bush them all up
And if you're gonna come after my cottage cheese, you better be in for one hell of a firefight. That stuff's getting defended to the last man
@@MrBucket9158 Fair. Bushes are good in some situations, but in others (Like when you're trying to hide your L3/33 inside of a building to block the enemy from capping a point), bushes might actually make you more obvious. I usually decorate my Rats in bright colors and racing stripes. If you want any content for a future video, I can gladly get you some (on account of my unreasonable amount of rats).
I can feel Martincitopants stype flowing though me while watching this video.
Also, Ab 41 and AB 43 are OP, skill issue😂.
Good vid
The swedish U-SH 405. Basically R3 with semi automatic rockets
Great video but the audio could use a lil bit of work cause i couldn't hear what you were saying at times
Cheers!
Noted, also glad you enjoyed it!
The U-SH 405 is disgusting
Absolutely foul
Bain of every WT player's existence
The only place it belongs is under a FAB-5000
Anyone who plays the U-SH should uninstall the game and think about what they've done with their lives
But yeah, pretty god-tier rat all things considered
@@camdenarnett193 Then you would be absolutely overjoyed to hear that I play the USH extensively.
The first weasel in the german tech tree (i cant remember the numbers) plays like a slower but smaller r3 t20.
Both Wiesel are amazingly ratty in their own ways
Just gonna blindly guess it's called wiesal 1a4?
Also it gets the earliest gen 3 thermals (at the time of this comment)
The USH is a legendary rat. Fast and armed with two automatic recoilless rifles.
I’ll be sure to check it out!
Probably the most hated vehicle in War Thunder
@@russman3787 I'm not sure if it's the USH or the Turm III (or VFW lol) but it's sure up there. One of those things that makes you feel like a bully to play. It has fully earned it's nickname, the swedish cancer car
Those aren't recoilless rifles, those are rocket launchers.
i love the M22 locust. i bring it to all my linups, no matter BR. i got the "street brawler" achievment (destroy 2 player vehicles within 30 seconds from a distance of 10 meters or less) in it in a 5.3 game. it was a VK panther and a t34 85. best feeling in the game.
I love the Martincitopants style of tierlist! :)
M18 Hellcat definitely. I only snipe and sit about 1k out, but the antics are hilarious because I yeet it over bumps and hills until i get into my spider hole. Love it so much that I run it with my M41A1 over the M56. Id give it at least give it a A. You can get into a good far spot early game and scout for a while occasionally picking off other tanks so your hole isnt compromised. Oh, and it can be just like a higher pen M22 with a 76mm. They can make a R3 run in fear. Its great at being a trap door spider, but it can definitely be a great A in this department
The Fm/42 doesnt have massive bulletdrop, just a massive zoom in the scope.
The Alecto is my favourite rat tank. It's heat can ruin tanks much higher in br than itself, and it is pretty quick
Got it, I'm going to use it with my matilda hedgehog to grind the object 292 with them.
You should try the daimler mkII in the british lineup, great fun to flank with at higher brs!
I'll check it out!
Your editing style seems inspired by the frog man himself, martin, quite a lot
I love it :D
ASU-57 is incredibly good due to it's high agility, easy concealability and gun that can face all but the strongest vehicles, so it's often used to get god mode at top tier.
AB43 is a high-tier rat too... the cannon in the turret makes up for all the shortcomings of the AB41. also the AB-42 varients are fun to play with too.
Funnily enough, out of all the rat tanks here, the only one I can’t ever be mad at is L3-33. It’s so adorably underpowered that when it kills Me I can’t help but congratulate it. And playing as one. It’s satisfying to actually get kills with it.
Ikv72 is a strong rat option too. Small. Hard to spot. Packs a punch(dont know the speed but its def not slow)
ikv 103 is just a better 72 since it fires 400mm pen HEATFS
@@Taboose7665 well yes but its higher br so there will be less inexperienced people meaning you are going to get spotted. But yes the round is really ratty.
I think it's between 50-72KPH for it.
Fiat 6614 makes an excellent rat when you realize the front can deflect 50 cal shots and the gun is so high up you can have it poking out without worrying about getting shot, not to mention the 5 crewman which makes it almost impossible to oneshot without over pressure
He forgot rhe damn m18
ok this feels like martincitopants who plays warthunder and I love it.
You really took the tips mart gave to make funny vids.
Man if you do a part 2 you need to play the pbil m/40. A fast Swedish event vehicle at like 1.7. 40 mm of pen in a auto cannon that has 36 rounds and a 1 second reload.
Are we gonna talk about the absurd quality, use of memes, humor in this video for a 1.6K sub channel. You gained another one without a doubt but heck this better blow up
Thanks man!
Maybe consider joining th discord
T18 Boarhound. Not a lot of people have it but it's got a stabilized 57, it's decently fast, and has ridiculously troll armor since volumetric
Budget martincitooants style editing. I love this guy already
I assume the Puma will be in part 2. It do be ratty.
Also what about the 150mm HE slingers from the first rank of many tech trees?
That KFC honest to god looks like a Twisted Metal vehicle, and I love it.
I think the ASU-57 and M18 are decent rat tanks I’m not sure if the M18 counts as a rat tank but it feels like one to play
Noted
expecialy if you bush the asu
Inspired by Martincitopants?
Sort of. I have been influenced by a lot of people but people only notice and compare me to Mart.
I decided to finally start France yesterday and went on a 9 kill streak in the ZT3. Probably the most fun I've had in a round... ever.
my rat nomination is the M56 scorpion, it is my absolute favorite vehicle in the game. having a yeet cannon on top of a tiny chassis just makes me smile every single time a king tiger goes kablooey
L3 with bushes is OP and so much fun also my favourite tank in the game
Not so much now, but a few years ago, when the Panhard E.B.R 1954 was 4.7, it was the rattiest tank around.
Pz.Sfl.Ic is smaller than an M22 but packs a punch like a Sdkfz234/2, definitely an honorable mention
With the BT series, and side note idk yet if it’s mentioned, but the F-32(?) premium of the BT-7 is honestly a great rat. It’s got the mobility of the BT-7 with a better gun and the benefit of being oddly expensive nowadays. Honestly I don’t even remember grinding for it but I’ve had it forever.
Celere Sahariano is my favorite rat tank. I've got over 500 battles in it, making it my most-played tank. It has armor that bounces too many shots and an amazing shell that one shots almost every time you pen.
Would have given an additional point for the french L3 for at least having the ben pen of is entire lineup and for the 25mm dealing actual damage somehow
Fox and its brother, the Eland 90 deserve to be on this list
Actually you can destroy panthers with the M22 locust.
Just try to be im their side (they cant aim at you if you are under them) and then thanks to your hobbit size aim your main gun to the 3rd wheel or the 4rd wheel counting from the front and shoot between the wheels and the side skirts.
And then try to hear the muffled Nein Nein Nein Nein while you Ring the panther with your frodo.
I call this tactic: The Trollkien
Just found this channel, 2mins in and I can tell the video is QUALITY
I knew I recognized this style of video! I saw the decal on that M22, and I was certain. Martin’s style is amazing for War Thunder, I look forward to seeing if you make any more videos for other types of vehicles.
Surprised no one mentioned the u-sh 405, nearly silent with spammable rockets. S tier imo
Going to have to add the Fox to this list. It's basically a R3 that's slightly slower but with a gun that can pen the sides of most of the enemies it faces (once you get the APDS belt).
This is the single most underrated video i have ever seen in the war thunder community, keep up the work
I’m glad you like it. Part 2 is already in the works
Love the way you edit your videos! My favorite rat by far is amx13 fl10. Like it's small, it's nible, and it's gun can punch through sides of basically any vehicle in the game
I would also recommend Type 60 SPRG, one of the best rat tanks, it's small and has really good fire power in it's BR... and it can scout!
Man, I would say this man is war thunder mart if mart didn’t make a wart hunter video
M50 ontos and m56 scorpion are crazy in forested areas if you camo them up
Those heat rounds go crazy against heavy germans
BT-5/BT-7 also deserves its spot. Truly the perfect rat tank. Literally the fastest tank ever made and the tank that still holds the record for longest jump ever performed by a tank. There’s also a rare premium version of it that’s basically a BT-7 with a T-34 cannon.
you are gonna sob when you see it at C tier
Rat: *exist
Daebom: I can milk you
@@iusearchbtw69 real
Earlier today I tried out the m22 in a test drive (because I’ve not yet reasearched it), and WOW that thing is ridiculously fast it accelerates to 60 kph in no time, so of course I had to research it and spade it asap
I loved the locust. Some of the best moments with it.
Rakutenautomat. It looks like a rat, acts like a rat, and straight up makes your enemies cry
the martincitopants-like universe expands once more
25MM GAZ needs to be recognized as a silliness machine
dont forget about the r3's big brother the R3 T106 FA. lil pasta delivery car with two bazookas strapped to the top with spaghetti noodles
excellent my friend, very good. I watch from my dorm room at college and have been wondering when you would upload again. Bloody good video.
I’m glad you liked it man, it’s been a while.
Sadly, the L3 has slowly lost its place with all the BR changes. However, for a unique forgotten rat tank, the French LVT-4/40 is a forgotten BP vehicle that you can't get anymore.
I am a certified rat enjoyer, though I was confused by the video, as I had mostly forgotten, that you can play rats at their intended BR.
I am with you on the good old squeeze boi. My first love.
Has some trouble at times, but in a flank you can bring an IS 2 down pretty reliably (if updates didn't change stuff since then)
The missing one is obviously the Wiesel family.
The Wiesel 1A4 the obvious choice. On 9.7 it murders light tanks, but Russian MBTs need armor view and test drive studies.
Wiesel 2A1 (TOW): A menace if positioned right. Can even "brawl" MBTs, because if they turn a corner, you get the first shot.
Ozelot: Less obvious, but a IR missile SPAA, that can hide behind any given house, can ruin anything that gets in the 5 km range, which is 90% of aircraft players.
all the higher tier ones are going to be in part 2
American war thunder martincitopants isn’t real, he can’t hurt you
American war thunder martincitopants:
Gotta love me some type 60 SPRG, probally best rat, poor armour, anti tank grenade and HESH and its real tiny, bout as small as an l33, just slightly bigger, oh yeah, it has two of those guns for ultimate bait and goes 60ish KPH
You feel like the martincitopants of warthunder, and I like it.
Wiesel 1a4. Gen3 Thermals, smol, fast, 100 round clip is enough to dismantle and kill a heavy tank, even less for others. It can also up tier pretty well since higher tiers can have more weak points for autocannons, and the thermals really do hold up
Downside is bad torque, if you hit something, it feels sluggish. Among other things like no armor and the 20mm is not stabalized, like the l33 it can be bouncy and takes patience.
I usually average 3 ground kills a game with the wiesel 1a4 and it is my favorite rat.
How could you forget the ultimate rat GOD with his unspeakable name of 15cm sIG 33 B Sfl terrorizing top tier till this day?
Killing Super Hellcat in the SD KFC 222 is something unmatched
I adopted an L3/33 and protected it against the nasty enemy
Truly a war thunder moment
The R3 T106 is like the R3 T20 but with 2 106mm recoilless cannons, its even better
Don't forget the other rats, the one shot meme cannons and small recoilless rifle ones!
Fiat 6614 the R3’s older cousin. Nasty rat high tier.
Absolute crime how you didn't include the scourge of low tier, the god forsaken *_panzer 2_*
T-60
The gun sound is just beatiful and its really small and i personaly love the tank
Ur editing style is fantastic! 🤣
I'm glad you like it man!
@@MrBucket9158 be honest man did you get it from martincitopants
There's one rat people don't know about yet : The AML-90
this thing SLAP, I tell you, and its 90 km/h are no joke
I'd like to add the AUBL 74 HVG to the list, it's not the smallest of rats but it's fast and has an easy to aim 74mm gun that fires darts
As the R3 king I would like to make a request of the R3 T106🤌🇮🇹 Also I had the biggest grin across my face the whole time you explained the R3 tactics😈
Fun fact: The AB-41's autocannon is good if you research the APCR ammo.
I saw this vid first before switching to the Italy tree bc I wanted to get the L3.
So I was BIASED into not liking this vehicle. But turns out, it was actually fun, and actually VERY GUD.
It is one annoying thing to come up against (if you don't one shot it first) and deserves a higher ranking.
Really love the martincitopants editing style
We need a sequel/revisit once you get some of the higher ranked rats. The dual recoilless rifle R3, ofc, the USH. Plenty of weird shit at higher tier to rat with
Lmao give me a month or so
I'm deeply saddened that you didn't include the M18 Hellcat, the bane of my existence at Rank 3/4
The Fox armoured car wasn’t out when this video released but it’s one of the best and most ratty tanks in the game
The zis-30 is one of my favorite tank destroyers and in my opinion is a complete rat. Some other honorable mentions are the AS-42 and S-42/47
Too slow
you forgot the doubble recoiless cannon pizza delivery rat king 2.0
All the pumas, all the bt 5/7s (especially the 76mm), m8a1, t55e1, ke-ni, type 60 sprg, r3 t106, fiat 6614, breda bus (italy has a lot of rats), the ebrs, the type 87s, the pz.sfl aka mini tiger, type 62. Thats all I can really name that are rat or rat like that I haven't seen people post about already (tho some are event vehicles and will be exclusive rare rats).
My favorite premium rat is the American T114.
