    There are many anti-air vehicles in War Thunder that work better in the anti-tank role. The French AMX-13 DCA 40 and Swedish Lvkv 42 are great examples. They are very similar vehicles, with the DCA getting more ammo and the Lvkv getting access to APHE. I played these with Odd and we had a pretty good time, even with the Gaijin moments.

    Honestly, I want to thank you for making videos. I was getting really down there when I started watching you a few months back. I played War Thunder often but it wasn't fun at all. After watching some of your low tier ground videos I began to play some of the smaller countries in like rank 1-2, and the game has seriously become so much more enjoyable for me. Instead of getting revenge killed by a level 12 Ka-50 I'm just playing the game and having funny moments. Also I love the goofy edits you have been doing, they make me laugh a lot. Don't know if you're going to read this but it doesn't really matter. I just wanted to say thanks man, and keep up the videos.

Idk if this is the right Avenue to make this request but would you consider doing a video on the T-26E? The T-26E is a massively up armored version of the normal tech tree T-26, it has an extra 40mm or armor on top of its normal stuff! It's a USSR tank at BR 1.7 and is so much more fun than the normal T-26, especially at medium range. You are such a small target and the extra armor does a great job of protecting your crew 😊

      The DCA at its peak was by far the MOST OP vehicle that has ever existed in this game. KV1E? Calliope? Pshaw!
      It was like Medusa, anything that saw it died.
      It got nerfed until it just mehs rather than equals nuclear holocaust to anything else.
      Seriously at it's peak it was almost unplayable anywhere near its BR as it just annihilated everything. AMX-13 mobility, and 240 rounds per minute. The only thing that's come close was the Sd.Kfz.234/4 when it was still at ridiculously low BR.

    Hey Mate amazing video as always, i do have a tip for using the funny LvKv 42 i recommand only brinding a full load of AP-HE it is way better than the pure ap at killing anything since most tanks have a exploitable weakspot you can nuke them threw, the only usefull thing about the pure ap is the abylity to pen a kv 1 dead on which may still not work when they angle. The aphe is such a mosterous round it shuld be the only one you bring in my opinion at least.

    @matthieuzglurg6015 Před rokem +1

    for the record : the AMX 13-DCA 40 was even more a tank destroyer rather than SPAA before the buff
    before the maximum turret traverse rate was like 14 degrees/sec, making it a pretty lame SPAA to say the least, tracking was very sub-optimal. Vertical targeting speed was great, so it basically meant that without a lot of luck or a lot of planning, the only way to reliably get a plane with that vehicle was to get his attention, and wait that he'd dive on you and fly in a straight line trying to strafe you.
    Now with the 70+ degrees/second of turrent rotation speed, that thing just turned into a demon, capable of not only getting planes pretty reliably without relying on 50/50 tactics, but also can deal with way more ground ennemies than before. All of that without a BR increase. Amazing work on Gaijin's part lol

    • @kimjanek646
      @kimjanek646 Před rokem

      But that’s just WT for you.
      The other day I first spawned in the 2.0 Flak Truck in a 3.3 match and ended up getting the most kills in my team.
      Same story. Was waiting for planes but had to engage way more ground vehicles.

    The AMX-13 DCA has a permanent spot in my line-up all the way up to 6.7. It performs SO WELL in the 5.0 to 5.7 range. It performs just as well as an actual SPAA and as a Tank Destroyer. The 40mm makes short work of most aircraft, once you mastered its aiming habits, and as a TD the rapid fire allows you to quickly kill lighter vehicles and, at worst, disable heavy tanks reliably. It's a must-have in anyone's France line-up!
