My only complaint with your videos is that you’ll use protection analysis with rounds we know will get through, and not things like autocannons where armor can often make a difference.
i just get the 90% and i think i'll buy it, i researched leopard1 and im grinding marder with 6.7 lineup but it is a bit of a pain with all the heatfs boys, TAM should provide me a nice boost
I've been maining US for a very long time, and this tank has made me switch to the dark side. The in game sales for the games birthday this year got to me. I'm at 9.3 for US and realized that i could either get the XM-1 (not on sale) or spend half that and get something else. I chose this and on my first game with a wirblewind and me 410 as backup I got 7 kills, no deaths. I thought that maybe it was a fluke and just luck but the next game I got 6... and no deaths. This thing is a MONSTER for ppl who have played nothing but America. People constantly saying that the strength of the us is mobility but this thing is so much more mobile its nuts. The gun is a dream, the armor is CHEESE, and the spotting with the laser rangefinder is just a match made in heaven. I could care less that it doesn't have thermals because its fine without it. This is the first time in a long time I've logged off War Thunder with a huge smile on my face.
I think it kinda cancels out, the armor package makes it less mobile and it actually has some trouble with climbing hills. The improved round is nice but you won't pen anything you couldn't pen before, and like with other tanks you should always be aiming for weakspots anyways because they cause the most damage.
in my opinion if u want to RP fast and gain silver lion...TAM 2IP would be a better investment compared to Leo L44 due to the scouting. just scout everything and u get bonus for it.
In my opinion I see this thing just like T-55AM, it shares the same br as tech tree version but is better in every single way without any downsides. Specificly for Tam 2 IP it gets dm 33 rounds where as regular tam gets just dm 23 it has significantly better turret rotation speed (same as tam 2C) and it has better protection (composite screens) which doesn´t add any extra weight (it has same weight as regular tam) so in my opinion this thing should get moved up to 9,0 yes it doesn´t get thermals but its the same for Rad 90 and VFM 5 so I don´t see a reason why it should stay at 8,7, just like t-55am shouldn´t stay at 8,3
I mean Gaijin gotta make some money out of the FREE game right? But i also agree that it can surely do well at 9.0 because it has a good gun and everything can pen it at both 8.7 and 9.0 anyway lol
@@tranxuanminh4623 The TAM-2IP is just a worse 2C but better than the TAM in nearly every single way at 8.7 instead of 9.7, so you're not losing out much.
I bought it last thursday dm 33 at 8.7 br is lol but mostly i use it in 10.7 arcade games and its just as deadly there as in 8.7 i team it up with the leopard 2 pl and the brumbar :) works beautifully and its my first tam and it is a good times every time i take it out :)
Hey, I just got a 90% off discount on any GE premium out of nowhere, so any premium under 1000GE, would you recommend this TAM 2IP or the chinese 8.3 Wheeled one? They're the only tier 6 available for GE. Both costing around 850, I can only get one tho.
@sakosniper Look one more time of TAM composite armor again. You can't pen it with 340mm pen APFDS on it, the same go to hull and tower which have angle to ricochet most of apfds...
@@oksanasmirnova3632 Yeah i went ahead and got it anyway since, on 50% sale, it' still cheaper than the leo at 50% sale, and i had some golden eagles laying around not being used anyway :) It's good tank if you dont W yolo it
I've bounced bm42 rounds off this things front plate today . Its armour is more trolly than you think. Like the c2a1 it will mean nothing until someone with poor aim shows up. But then it will be glorious.

Sako is doing a Thorough review why complain he’s trying to help
@@joestueckrath5275 it was a respectful criticism that shouldn’t be a problem.
Oh sorry my bad
I agree, it’s like seeing if DM63 will pen an M22 rather than actually checking things that could matter
@@joestueckrath5275 it’s all good man I like Sako’s vids I just wanted to offer my perspective.
Well i jumped from Tiger E to TAM 2IP. I got the 90% discount on any premium vehicle and i am not disappointed. Also no armor is the best armor

“You just need thermals at 8.7” I play Russia I’m used to not having thermals. We don’t get thermals on a tank until 10.0
Russia is at a significant disadvantage without thermals and it's incredibly frustrating on certain maps, being shot by things you can't see.
Although a premium. Isnt the Turms at 9.7?
@@cherrypoptart2001 yeah it has really good thermals but i was talking about tech tree
@@jetnavigator yeah it's my biggest problem with the Russian tanks
haha i just got the t 80b today
I honestly like this tank better than the Leo L44. Way more maneuverable and survivable.
But it has no thermals and very bad sights, gun depression is also a big issue for it like on the other two TAMs.
@@therealmp40 fits my playstyle better.
I mean, in arcade thermals are pretty much useless lol
Tracked 8.7 with 105mm DM33 and with better survivability than MBTs, its very good. You need thermals when you pretty much only camp lol

Well the IP armor package can also be applied to the 2C irl, it was designed to.
I hope we get that in the future
Any opinions on this when its at 50% sale? Is it worth it compared to the L/44 or is the thermals just straight up better?
I'm sure leo will be on sale in package with plane -50% or just leo with only - 30 % ... Gaijins logic :)

Do you recommend buying it for half the price becouse there is a Christmas discount
I bought it and I like it a lot
Are you Planung in making an ito 90 review ?
Could you do a review on the wma301?
10:52 russian mbt overpowered? XDDD
Is it still ok if you run it in a 9.0 line-up with the leopard l44?
Yes
So I have to pay silver lions to actually buy the actual tank after I pay it with the golden eagle?
No, you crew it for 10,000 SL.
What was the skin on the Abrams?
Is it worth at -50%? or there is a better choice?
thats also what ive been wondering. so far the comments have only been positive so im probably gonna buy it

tam 2 IP doesnt even have a good sight or thermals if il consider it an collection tank to buy it to grind out tech tree tanks leopard l44 is better
