![]() These descriptions will cover the first impressions of each country and the trends in tank characteristics as a player progresses in the tech tree.ĭo note that these are very general descriptions of the tech tree and that individual vehicles present in each nation can have their own characteristics that may differ from the trends. With seven nations in the game as of Update 1.85 "Supersonic", there are lots of starting points to choose from for the War Thunder tank career. The fact that you even mention the 2C as an example of superiority in firepower in armor "so an upfront attack would usually fail" says a lot I believe on how much you know about the Battle of France beyond pop-culture.This section's purpose is to get the player adequately ready in jumping into a War Thunder tank battle, starting from choosing a nation towards joining a battle. I was saying that for at the time it was,if the french had more of them and better co-ordination they could've held out longer,the soviets started fighting in 41' a year after the invasion of france,by then the germans had made a few different variants and such,i am by no means saying german tanks were terrible,it's just that the B1 and 2C were superior in firepower and armour,so a upfront attack would usually fail,but what the french did not interpret was speed as such and stuck to the old ways and they got overwhelmed,for example,tigers were superior to early T-34s yet the soviets overwhelmed them and beat them,i am talking about a singular battle not the whole war as the german supplies dwindled The "better gun" not turreted was almost never used against tank because it had no left-right traverse, so really the B1 relied on its (actually pretty good, but one-man) turreted 47mm against tanks.There is a reason the Germans almost always removed the 75mm gun in the hull in their conversions - that 75mm was meant to use against fortifications, which usually don't move, so you can align your tank properly. Else, the KV-2 would be considered a better tank than the T-34. There is a reason the Germans almost always removed the 75mm gun in the hull in their conversions - that 75mm was meant to use against fortifications, which usually don't move, so you can align your tank properly.īetter frontal armor and superior gun are not sufficient, or even necessary, to have a good tank. The "better gun" not turreted was almost never used against tank because it had no left-right traverse, so really the B1 relied on its (actually pretty good, but one-man) turreted 47mm against tanks. Way more broke or just ran out of gas in a place they could not be resupplied than were destroyed by the Germans. ![]() Its military value was close to 0, if not negative.You mix up with the B2 and B2Bis, which I would not call superior due to its strategic limitation (limited autonomy, mechanical failures). The 2C was certainly not superior to even a Panzer II. It had a better gun a superior frontal armour (not turret),but i meant to say the B1 You mix up with the B2 and B2Bis, which I would not call superior due to its strategic limitation (limited autonomy, mechanical failures). Its military value was close to 0, if not negative. The 2C was superior to german tanks at the time,they just suffered the same fate as early kv-1s which was they were outnumbered and outmanoeuvred For instance, it was the same weight as a Panzer IV, though more "compact".The only operational super-heavy in WW2 (in tiny numbers - 10) was the Char 2C, and it was so bad (designed in the WW1 for trench warfare) that the French avoided as much as they could putting it in harm's way not to give the Germans a propaganda victory. ![]() The B1Bis was an heavy, certainly not a super heavy. I mean,the closest we got to operational and serving super heavies were the behemoth tanks and multi turreted ones such as the French Char 2b,they did okay but they were outnumbered so meh,early war there was potential,but by mid war there was basically no hope for them That is why no super heavy tanks were produced in the Cold War, instead all tanks were turned into main battle tanks.
