The radius of destruction of armored vehicles: SC2500: 84m FAB-5000: 105m The difference isn't much here but it's more when you calculate the overall area. I think it's going to perform almost as well as the FAB-5000.
I used to drive the LAV-AD in my military service but only with a 50cal on top 😅 it was quite fun and fast to drive around Fun Fact: the blade on top of the driver hatch is to cut cables so you don't get hurt
About the blade I think something like it on a British IFV that was showing of at the Tank Museum :D How did the vehicle handle when you drove it? Was it rather forgiving or heavy?
@@TheIronArmenianakaGIHaigs Yes it was suprisingly fast (125km/h, 60mph) on a road 😅 pretty good manouverability offroad You drive it like a "normal" car with a steering wheel, gaspedal, brake and automatic gearbox There was a lighter comando version that had even better acceleration 😅 If you're interessted go look for "Radschützenpanzer 93 Pirahna" on google. But if it were in War Thunder it would be at Br. 0.5 😂 Btw it's still in service today
2:56 The French actually did make 2 versions of the ELC tank with an oscillating turret, they were named the ELC EVEN 90 and the ELC EVEN 30. The 90 was armed with the same 90mm gun plus an auto-loader, while the 30 was armed with dual 30mm auto-cannons. Considering they added the BIS version of the ELC tank, It would be awesome if the other 2 made it in as well.
If they ad the elc even there will be 4 more tank considering the 2 other you didn't mentioned with SS11 (mouse Guide) and the one with four 120mm recoilless gun (basically a m50 antos with biger gun)
No... They made two different tanks, under the Elc project... The Even 90 had different versions, like the Even 30 and Even 120. Or the Elc Even; the same Even chassis with ATGM's and SSM's The AMX ELC designed by Hotchkiss for AMX... The different turret on the AMX ELC was the bis model. It just gave a few creature comforts to the crew, and a few minor, practical upgrades. The Even series was a competitor design, not the same tank with a new turret. The only thing in common with their two designs was GIAT built all of them.

LAV is meant to kill god in all three phases of his boss battle: Winged God, who flies around shooting HVARs Nimble God, lightly armored with two 20mm autocannons Steel God, 400mm of arnor and a single 105mm howitzer
Actually, the ELC was meant to be a paratrooper tank, mainly for scouting behind enemy lines and the turret is 360, but only when the tank is stationary.
The tank ingame being limited like irl to 90 moving and 360 stationary is kinda dumb, when a kv2 can fully traverse but irl it would tip over if shooting sideways... Don't get me wrong I'll play it definitely but Its always the little inconsistencies that ruin it for me.
the APS systems of the black night and the t55amd-1 have been in the game before, they where used in the warfare 2077 event with the tanks having multiple APS spots around the tanks which shot down apfsds projectiles and missiles
I believe the LAV ADs that were equipped with the hydra rocket pod were usually equipped with proxy fuse rockets to use against helis and such, could be wrong though.
This all is telling me Gaijin tends to keep editing vehicles and planes. I do have a forum I made of when the Japanese G5 and G8 will get the rest of their payloads, the G8 can still do a max of 4000kg with 2x 2000kg bombs. It is a recent post but given Gaijin adds and edits vehicles, it makes sense to allow the biggest bombers Japan can muster have their biggest bombs to use like the rest of the nations.
The little French guy is apparently messed up, since irl it has 360 rotation. But, since the driver is in the turret, it doesn't turn while driving, cause it's extremely disorienting.
Well, it's more a case of him not being a contortionist. His legs would be outstretched to actually reach the pedals (which sit forward in the hull, so his upper torso is in the turret while his legs are down in the front hull to drive).
That SPAAG on LAV chassis looks like something that would appear in Prototype or Infamous as a vehicle needed to annoy the player on the move. It certainly looks on par with comicbook style of sequels to both.
@@bensmith6868 not really, it just had du inserts(more armour lower plate and turret faces) and i believe m829a3 or a4, it also had fire control upgrades so it should get gen 2 therms
Wasn't the hard kill active protection system in game during the April Fools event Warthunder 2077? I remember all the tanks in that event had APS with like 20 shots aiming at every direction making most ATGM do no damage at all.
Actually the Puma has two Spike LRs on its turret in real life, I hope they will add this in war thunder too, would be quite a shame if they forgot about it
Hey Iron. Will you look at playing a game with your friends called Wargame Red Dragon? It's a strategy game that has been out since 2014. A lot of the vehicles in that game are vehicles that are now being added into Warthunder. Like you can play as North Korea. They have the IL-28 with the 3K bomb. It's the biggest bomb in the game and is known for wiping out teams. You can take 3 of them out per person. So if you got two other friends, then you can go out with 27K bombs. Then there are some other vehicles like you might see soon in Warthunder. Such as the M-84 series of tanks from Yugoslavia. The Israeli Pereh which is an ATGM platform meant to look like a regular tank. Even to the point of South African Helicopters.
Probably many people will start usa tech tree just for a-10 since plus maybe half of team would be a-10 the rest would be American or other tanks and some spaa
Wait the tall boy? Isn't that the earthquake bomb that basically went into the ground, exploded creating a large hole and making the ground collapse in on itself? The one that sunk that German raider parked in that Norwegian Fjord? I can never remember it's name.
The ELC was supposed to be a French air droppable light scout tank. I don't know if any where made or used, but it's purely a scout vehicle not a TD. As for where it's scout ability is, I don't know.... tTe snail deemed it not worthy I guess, unless it's changed which I don't think it was. And since I enjoy life and therefor don't play Warthunder; I won't know until told otherwise.
The render errors in the video are definitely not a render error but they may be a recording error also I don't know if it was just the dev sever or my PC hitching.
The AMX elc bis is a terror in wot blitz. But terror I mean it's a stupidly op tank that is fast af and kills you easily so they are usually the first to get shot
Along with the Tall Boy 12,000lb (5,400kg) in weight there was a bigger bomb called the Grand Slam which was 22,000lb (10,000kg) in weight. Cool, but i dont think we need that in war thunder.

Shoot everything that moves until it doesnt, and if that doesnt work, you clearly didnt shoot it enough.

I think Germany getting their own mini-mini-nuke is going to be memed to hell. It isn’t PE-8 level, but maybe German players will use it well.
The radius of destruction of armored vehicles:
SC2500: 84m
FAB-5000: 105m
The difference isn't much here but it's more when you calculate the overall area. I think it's going to perform almost as well as the FAB-5000.
It depends on who can get faster turnover time in this case. Can He-111 get to airfield and back faster then Pe-8?
The He 111 has always been a gem in ground. It's handling will absolutely make up for the smaller size.
Now germany gets to experience their own version of the “accidental” teamkilling wonder that is the FAB

Hydra pods were to be fired from far with salvos of 7 to 10 rockets to deterr enemy aircraft
They might have had a airburst fuze aswell
Yeah, hydra rockets have a very wide variety of warheads and fuses they can be fitted with
The ones we will get is M247
