I love the R3 poo poo, it steers like a brick shithouse at high speed, but it's so much fun.

The shark skin makes it go faster, but there should be a lancia martini skin option too.

Been messing around with the amx-10m, who thought a pixel accurate 500m/s atgm was okay at 7.3? Obviously very map dependent but you can get consistent first shot hits (and often kills) at 600-1000 meters which most vehicles at 7.3 can’t quickly respond to unless they are already ranged in. Also it has no fuse delay and doesn’t need you to be stationary so you can win a surprising amount of point blank encounters.

I'm pretty sure you can find one on WTLive, I know I've seen some streamer playing r3's with the lancia racing colors on.

ah, found it:

I like the flag on the ammo box, I'm sure that drives the average War Thunder player insane.

I don't follow racing but this is badass

Other players can’t see user skins though right? You need to really rub it in for the German players.

Isn't the AMX-10M's thing that you're a big box with no armor, and have to expose your entire casemate to fire because you can't go hulldown? I'm sure you can do work with it, but it sounds supremely annoying.

Yeah it works when the unarmoured box is 750m away from a T-44 player who needs 1-2 shots to get their range in, not so much at 200m. It's a very unique playstyle and you tend either get eight kills or zero, not much in between.

It's French, so don't worry, it'll be at 8.0 soon enough.

Yeah that’s mostly fair, he does shoot a lot of HEAT into engines at the start which doesn’t do much but when he can place shots at short range or shoot targets through the front at long range he does pretty well.

I haven't played this game for years and was considering getting back into it. Anything major about it I should know? I never got to top tiers but the last thing they'd added was helos from what I vaguely remember.

So one guy in AMX during the 60s just visited that one museum with the last remaining Saint-Chamond, looked at it and went: "Yeah, I can make that work."

Most of what's different is on the top tier, which is higher than you remember. Jets and helos with complex avionics have their own page of HUD menu now. Some of the countries have sub-trees, like Hungary in the Italian tree and South Africa in the British tree.
