The Italian L3/33 CC is a pretty infamous gremlin / rat tanks in War Thunder. It also carries the title of the smallest tank in the game (as far as I know). Does that make it good? I don't think so. I really wish Gaijin would've given it some kind of solid AP round.

IIRC the anti tank rifle used here has a recoil management system where the barrel retracts into the stock, similar to a Barret M82. So the barrel is actually going back into another part of the gun, not into Luigi's frontal lobe

@neillathotep7386 Год назад

Do you mean the bolt recoils into the stock (like a M60 machine gun), or the barrel moves back together with the bolt (like a Barret M82)? I don't know what AT rifle this is, but seems unlikely that the barrel can recoil all the way into the stock...

Honestly despite the side-effect of making the L3 even worse these nerfs were long warranted and it astonishes me that it took this long, pre-nerf german ww2 20mm ammo was absurdly good, better than modern 20mm ammo in IFVs, turns out those values were wrong, Obviously.

1:28, oh no, not necessarily. You see, it's just called long recoil. What that means is that the whole gun may not necessarily be recoiling, but just the barrel is moving back, while the (if properly mounted) receiver would stay still. So think of the 40mm cannons on the m42 and m19a1, the barrels recoil back with the bolt to eventually unlocking the bolt until they both go into battery. So the receiver isn't necessarily "annihilating his skull"... that is assuming that the it mounted properly.

@markstanard6306 Год назад

interesting fact, the gun the L3 uses is a Solothurn S18-1000, which was an interwar shoulder fired AT gun. That's why it is mounted so close to the gunner, due to the optic being integrated into the receiver of the gun. A gun store where I live has one of these on display and yes it is absolutely massive for a shoulder fired weapon. It was broken down where the barrel meets the receiver and two people would transport the halves.

@skriv0in0navn Год назад

I knew a friend who played HOI 4 that did War Thunder's Italian tree. They were the ones that got me into the tech tree to begin with, and helped me rank up all the way to 3.0. He was a native to San Marino who had great pride playing the tanks on Italy. One of the best memories I had with him was when he downed 3 - 4 tanks in a 2.0 line up at Eastern Europe. In the fire and blaze, he screamed "ITALIAN SUPERIORITY" whilst gunning down everyone going into the B point.

To answer your question about the guns recoil, it is the Solothurn S 18 1000. It’s a short recoil semiautomatic “shoulder fired weapon”, so the gunner should have his shoulder right on “the breach” because only the barrel moves. Now the real gun the barrel only recoils about 2-4 inches not the nearly a foot of recoil that the firing animation would imply.

the way to play the L3 ambush style you hide in bushes near Cap points or popular routes and wait till someone get close enough for your to take them out, your target priority is the gunner or the ammo. if your facing more than 1 enemy only target the last one in the convoy, and once you finish them off wait 3 seconds before changing positions try to be as far as possible from your last position -Tips from an L3 main
