The Australian AC.I (also written as AC1 in the War Thunder community) Sentinel is a very unique tank. Even ignoring its looks, it has amazing armor for its battle rating. However, it is held down by its abysmal 2-pounder cannon which is not only inaccurate and has low damage, but has mediocre penetration to boot. It stomped for a bit before Gaijin moved it up to 3.0.

Just a note: It's not that the 2-pounder is inaccurate. It's that there's a hidden barrel overheating mechanic in the game. Basically, certain vehicles when fired too fast will become inaccurate if fired rapidly. That is especially noticeable with tanks like the T-34-57. You usually need to wait a bit for your 3rd and consecutive shots for the barrel to cooldown or risk your shot going sideways. Not sure about autoloaded vehicles. I have no idea why it's actually not mentioned at all, Adjustment of Fire also reduces this effect technically, but it's in the game.

Nice tip, didn't know there was a thermal mechanic. (Although I did realise that upping the gunner skills reduces the effect a lot) I've noticed that the 17 pounder suffers the same.

For the compression I recommend you to upload your videos in 1440p. Because KZfaq uses 2 encoders, and the HQ one is used only for 1440p or higher resolutions. Even if you record in 1080p, make your video to be rescaled to 1440p, you'll surely lose some quality because of the rescale, but the difference brought by the better encoder will completely compensate. I did the same with my rallying onboards before I got able to record in 1440p, the results were astonishing
