The Achilles is a British Tank Destroyer in War Thunder. This tank sits at 4.0 battle rating and houses the mighty 17 Pounder.
The Achilles is a modified M10 Wolverine chassis for the British. I'd argue the M10 is a better vehicle just because it has the very handy HE filler. However, the Achilles packs a whopping 190mm of penetration which is one of if not the highest penetrating round for its BR.
Of course the Achilles Tank Destroyer is only capable of firing solid shot rounds of various types or if you're feeling exotic, can be loaded with smoke. The post penetrating damage on the APCBC round is pretty decent as long as it goes through enough armour to shrapnel.

@barongrimthorpe344 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Odd, I had the same thought of using the Achilles to try and deal with the Russians. Like you I discovered it was fairly lackluster. From what I've heard it sounds like the problem is that most tanks don't have volumetric armor. So lots of armor models incorrectly have overlapping armor in pixel width lines. When shells were pixel sized ,the odds of hitting said spot was quite low, but now that shells have volume it is very likely to hit one of those spots. One glaring example is the Pz 4s front plate, it went from being easy to pen with a 104 mm pen Sherman gun to being quite tricky because you'll hit some BS pixel. The T-34s and KVs definitely benefited the most however. I don't have much hope that any of it will get fixed, because Gaijin would need to invest the money to remodel most tanks armor. And we know that isn't a thing they would do.

@Bialy_1 3 жыл бұрын

" invest the money to remodel most tanks armor. " they allready remodeled them... for example T-34 driver hatch was a weak spot when they introduced tanks in this game. M3 Stuart was able to pen that hatch and that stuff under the barrel of T-34/76 that bounced Odds shot was also easy to pen... Not to mention how they added magical amortization to T-34, before the best option was to make a shot in move and then stop as T-34 was rocking back and fortg almost as long as Italian tank destroyer on low tier so you would be almost able to finish reload of new shell in that time.

@feddyvonwigglestein3481 3 жыл бұрын

Even before the change, when I used capped 17 pounder ammo in test drive and shot at the Panther, it never penetrated the front plate. In the armor analysis, of course, it says it should go through no problem. Game is just F'ed up.

@marcinos303 3 жыл бұрын

Few people know that the T-34 usually had to stop to fire so that the turret would not fall off. Additionally, the hatch in the front fuselage jammed on average after a week and the crew climbed in through the turret. In addition, a direct hit, taken on this hatch, caused it to fall inside and tear off the driver's head and legs of the loader and the gunner.

Something very satisfying about achieving a one shot with AP. It's different than APHE or darts. Something so nice about the feeling of your shell just plowing through the entire enemy tank and crew. You know you earned that kill.

I've been playing this all weekend. Another thing why it's better than the M10 is that the MG has a higher pitch up like the M24. I key it to fire independently of the turret speed and have shot a few planes down, then reset it to go back into place.

@alessandrocoward9014 3 жыл бұрын

Dear Od Gaijin could just say , Idk implement a similar thing to warzone but Instead of number of players on a team you would have presets for a 3 vehicle slot battle. Or 1 vehicles slot battle. Alternatively you would say have battles that have a cap limit . So you would have 3 spawns max and take away the mechanic for respawn points . This solution adds a new game mode , and solves a really stupid problem. This allows newbs to have way more leniency and keeps players in the game. Another thing is the spawn camping , this is my idea for gaijin , make it that certain types of tanks spawn at different spots in the map , so light tanks forward , medium in the middle and heavy/td In the back . Also if the enemy team moves forward then just push back the map position. Therefore take away the cap zones and it will be a tug of war , new mode that would bleed tickets from time in a zone.
