Minor correction, but the IC in the Trzyniec and VC in the tech tree firefly aren't fully roman numerals. Instead of M4aX like the americans used, the british designated their Shermans I-V, with Sherman I being the M4 and the Sherman V being the M4a4. The C just means that the tank is equipped with the 17 pounder instead of the american 75 or 76mm.
I think if your playing more than one nation and if you are only into ww2 tanks the best lineups are USA-5.7 balanced versatile strong Germany-5.3 heavy Icons tiger, panther USSR-4.3 multiple T-34s and KV-1s Great Britain-4.7 support and long range Each very powerful in their own regard and have unique vibes but all are filled alongside and amongst the most powerful and most heard or popular vehicles of the war but each at respectable BRs that are fair and fair is key in WT
@@andrewryan4417 hard to say it’s my least played nation but I’d assume it’s mainly about speed scouting and relocation tactics on mobile light tanks I’d assume anywhere around 4.7-9.7 would fit that description or category
This thing bounces shots it has no business bouncing, is fast and maneuverable, and has a great gun. It really is a great 4.7 that punches above its BR.
I chose the ac I.v to grind the British tech tree. Its Derpy armour, good engine and the same 17pdr gun along with the British 5.3 lineup is very solid and satisfying to play with
The Centurion Mk2 from the previous battlepass was the best value premium for grinding the British tree. Cheap at only 2k GE (plus everything else in the pass), rank IV meaning it can grind all the way to rank V and has a great lineup with the Charioteer, Ratel 90, FV4002 and Skink/Bosvark. Using it now for that reason, and its great.
Cool history and stuff but A.C.IV is just a way better pick imo. It's more expensive and a higher br but it's a lot more unique, has actual reverse (which is rare for britan around this br), has good gun depression, armor which actually bounces stuff and it has a nice lineup with the Challenger. Lack of gun depressino combined with tall profile is the biggest issue in Firefly imo. I would say it's mid tier at best, far from being one of the best picks.
@@thefrenchcommander5770 Yup. And it seems to be super lucky. All the Panthers, Tigers and even Tiger IIs that somehow failed to kill me, this can't be just because the armor is super trolly.
Regarding the no radiator situation. All Shermans with radial engines (aero enhines) have no radiator, as they are air cooled. Irl the cooling air was drawn in from the crew compartment, making it more pleasant in hot days, but terrible in cold days.
I would add a sixth weakness; the gun sway. The 17 pounder swings around like crazy on stopping the tank and is a huge liability, you have to plan around this more than most non-stabilised tanks.
I think you did a good enough job trying to pronounce that. If yoi need it ,,rz" is really closely pronounced like ,,sh" in English. Great vid as always
I think the Sherman VC is much better relative to BR. That sabot is 100% worth the 0.3 increase. The APDS is even better for sniping, and will pen anything
APDS is very annoying to use since the nerf though. Even if you know where to aim it's just unreliable. Even on tanks that have APDS i paradoxically prefer to use AP unless i meet something i can't pen with it, which just doesn't happen at all
It's a tank that relies on it's gun, but everything else is subpar as a result. Unstable AF gun, no gun depression, slower acceleration than american shermans and solid shot. I love it and used it to grind most of rank III and IV but it really is at a disadvantage when compared to american shermans in everything except sniping capabilities because of rank III american optics being shit.
Unfortunately, you cannot. At least not yet. You probably won't be able to get the Sturmtiger, but you may be able to get the Maus when War Thunder's anniversary comes around late October or early November.
Every vehicle this dude recommends for the most part. Secondly, you forgot to mention the abysmal gun depression this vehicle has which is -5 and hurts this vehicle being so tall. IMO, it's mediocre overall. I bought it like 2 years ago and barely play it. Get the 5.3 AC IV Sentinel way better for UK and same tier.
