THIS TANK RUINED MY LIFE - M56 in War Thunder

Рет қаралды 137,536

The M56 Scorpion in War Thunder is a US Tank Destroyer with a 90mm cannon. Well... it's cheeky to call it a Tank Destroyer because it's basically a Tractor with a Danger Stick on top.
The M56 is designed for being dropped into battle via parachute. As such, it's got literally no armor at all since the crew just sit on it like a cursed Harley Davidson. The gun wobbles like jelly, the suspension is even worse and the hand cranked turret rotates slower than the Sun around your Mum.
The redeeming feature is it's pretty nimble. Not fast! But it's nimble. Just hope that whoever you're facing has a broken space bar... or you'll be back in the hanger faster than a bi-plane in a top tier jet match.
Fun... just not for me! :)

Thank you Oddbawz! This means a lot, sorry that it was a suffer fest, I always played it like an Asu-57 with HEATFS, it’s quite a ratty tank that requires incredibly passive gameplay, but in the right circumstances, it is quite a menace :)

There's literally no possible set of rules where you COULDN'T be denied by 1 second, other than "instant nuke the moment you get the spawn points" (which is possible but kind of dumb IMO since you didn't do anything at all to earn it in that case. You already got rewards for the kills etc earlier, the nuke is supposed to be for the plane sequence). If there was some kind of grace period or something, then you could simply miss the grace period by 1 second, lol. Gaijin isn't despicable... you just didn't stop and think it through before angry-typing.

The design began as the A12 specification in 1936, as a gun-armed counterpart to the first British infantry tank, the machine gun armed, two-man A11 Infantry Tank Mark I. The Mark I was also known as Matilda, and the larger A12 was initially known as the Matilda II or Matilda senior. The Mark I was abandoned in 1940, and from then on the A12 was almost always known simply as "the Matilda". With its heavy armour, the Matilda II was an excellent infantry support tank but with somewhat limited speed and armament. It was the only British tank to serve from the start of the war to its end, although it is particularly associated with the North Africa Campaign. Only two were available for service by the outbreak of the World War II in 1939.[9] It was replaced in front-line service by the lighter and less costly Infantry Tank Mk III Valentine beginning in late 1941.

@georgeerhard1949 13 күн бұрын

The M56 is the tank version of a sniper in a ghillie suit. If you're made, you're dead. But until that point, you can one-shot a lot of tanks at the same BR, from places they'd never expect. It's just a lot of work to set up the shots cos of the limited traverse/elevation. Also, NO machine gun, so you're at the complete mercy of CAS planes.

There's another reason why some people like the M56, and it's for one thing that you never do Odd: They coat that thing to hell and back with bushes and just rat out, killing people while being practically invisible as they are bushier than a 1970's French adult video star so people can't distinguish what is an M56 and what is just an actual bush until it moves or has fired at you, likely killing you or at the very least your ability to fire back.

As a certified US rat main: I just love the M56 so much. If only people werent all so salty to go into cas 100% of the time you kill them. Its always about hiding after each kill. Also the hesh is much better than you think. It can clap tigers and panthers from the cupola almost every time. I even prefer using the HESH for sideshots on many tanks because hitting anywhere near the side ammo rack on a panther also just kills it. I tend to use HESH if I get the drop on someone and the heat for frontal attacks. Another massive fucking benefit. Doming someone with a HESH usually disables the top MG and if you kill the gunner also the coax.

The Scorpion wouldn't be quite so bad if Gaijin didn't mellow it out through, ironically enough, balancing the Scorpion. It's missing the commander in the commander's seat.. And the fire rate is about 50% longer than what the gun can handle, and also as if the ready rack isn't the loader's lap.

The problem wasn't the M56 with your nukes - its the fact that you end up on teams at this BR with a lot of people who are just terrible and your teams collapse.
