@@petrkdn8224 yeah, they get easily shit on by tanks that use HEATFS and have a speed advantage which negates the one advantage of heavy tanks...that being the armour.
@@petrkdn8224 yeah I have a good track record with the IS4 too, but it does get dunked on in uptiers. It's the high pen AP and stabilizers that just totally outclass it
@@petrkdn8224 good for you bro, now lets get back to reality where I can point out basic facts. The only thing that heavies beat light tanks at is their post pen damage because most of them especially the Russian heavies still use APHE. However because of their armour they are significantly slower than light tanks. Heavy tanks also have slower fire rates and have slower response times. This mixed in with their high penetration guns gives light tanks a distinct advantage over heavy tanks in any situation except for close quarters fighting and even then the nature of light tanks still gives them an advantage. Yes heavies do have better armour, but its mainly superficial against the majority of rounds at that tier unless you're in a downtier or you're facing the odd tank that doesn't use HEATFS or sabot. I mainly play heavies, I don't really like light tanks and my k/d in my maus is around 3. So its not like I'm just shit at heavy tanks and want to complain. I'm simply pointing out the facts of how the vehicles play and what their advantages are. Light tanks counter heavy tanks with speed and penetration. It is what it is.
@@petrkdn8224 again, I have good stats in the IS4. This doesn't mean it isn't seriously outmatched by most things at that tier at range. Comparatively worse shell velocity, reload, and pen. You really wanna snipe on Kursk vs an M60 AOS or Conq?
As far as I'm aware there is also the T69, a program designed to fit a 90mm autoloader in an oscillating turret for the T42, which was supposed to be the replacement for the M46. On the other end of the scale there are the T57 and T58, designed to fit 120mm and 155mm autoloaders in oscillating turrets for the M103.
The T77 was a T48/M48 hull with a lightened version of the T57 HT's turret w/ a 120mm. While the T58 was a T57 with a larger turret with the 155mm, both using the M103 prototype's hull.
You should try the CV90120, it's my favorite light tank right now, it's got good optics, decent mobility, a fast Auto loader and and just feels nice to play imo
The commander's optic zoom is nuts on that thing and the fact you have like 2nd or 3rd gen thermals makes it the best sniping tank in the game if you ask me.
Large team size games like war thunder should both put more emphasis on objective taking and put less on winning when it comes to points. Make people play the objective and try to win, but dont penalize people for losing when they could do nothing at an individual level
I love that you used a jerry miculek clip to open this video, and that’s how I always described the t54e1 to my friends, the fastest shooter in the west!
When you made that video about the Somua and recommended it, you were completely the reason why I bought it and it's now become my top 3 favourite tanks. Now that you recommended this, I will follow up and trust you. Thank you again for the videos and good info!
I not the hugest fan of these gameplay videos but the way you combine gameplay with other comments about the vehicle or other vehicles makes it so much better and I love it.
I am pretty sure this tank has a lot wider fov setting than other M48s or such. And it just feels so much better. I gotta love this tank. Try it with standard AP too, just be aware of high angles.
When I had my Xbox, I played World of Tanks, and they had an auto loader tank free for the us. Not all of them had auto loaders, but it was M41, T49(prototype Sheridan if I’m not mistaken), t69, T54e1, and the T57 heavy. A tank with a 120mm gun and a 4 round auto loader. Definitely something I miss, such a unique family of tanks.
Considering how much you loved the Type 60 I would recommend playing the Israeli Zachlam Tager the 6.7 ATGM launcher with a 6 missile load, manual control, and paper thin armor, lack of any air defense, and overall mediocre missiles.
I would love to see more oscillating turret in the game, i like them, that would give me a reason to grind the USA if they add some in the regular tech tree. France doesn't have enough in my opinion, we can and need more, like our whole process of making tank was putting an oscillating turret on EVERY ducking chassis we could find, we need our FL 20 turret in the game, atleast this one have a stab and NVD device which would be a great addition to our collection
i have this tank and i always using APDS because of greater muzzle velocity, can go through more modules of the vehicle than HEAT which can be stopped by a dead crew, and most importantly it can fly through bushes, trees, fences etc which is very annoying for the HEAT that exploded by random stuff so you can't even hit the target at all. I also noticed that the FoV on T54E1 is much wider than most vehicle, i personally do like it and wish more vehicle have such camera FoV.
I exactly have the same experience where most of the team are on the other side of the cap and yet they cant capture it with only 2 or 3 tanks guarding it while I'm on this cap with 80% of the enemies are here and yet I capped the point and made scrap metal most of the tanks present there.
Bro picked this guy up awhile back during a sale. Definitely load solid shot for most targets then apds or heat for hard nuts. The solid shot obliterates lighter vehicles like Leo’s bmps and such
@@kennethsalmeronrodriguez978 Not much of a surprise that the gun of a tank two BRs higher can deal with you. And sure, IS-3 has armour. But its also a clunky piece of junk that has several exploitable weaknesses
So I bought it and the little T117 or whatever the heck the 3 round auto loader freak show is, and they make a good pair. Hard to use the two at first because the mix of BR range, and of course the uptiers, but they’re so powerful. The T54 is probably my favorite tank in the game. Clean and smooth, but gotta be careful because you’re slowly getting to guided missiles from IFVs and the first real MBTs showing up. It’s fun and Hell all in one inconvenient package.
Your whole team parking outside of A, you doing your damnedest to hold C and still losing the game is the ground equivalent of the usual Air RB situation: You climb but nobody on your team does, everyone dies to the first thing that dives on them and now you're 1v7 up at altitude before even 5 minutes have passed.
To the town of the Soviet Union Drove a stranger one fine day Hardly spoke to folks around him Didn't have too much to say No one dared to ask his business No one dared to make a slip The stranger there among them Had a big iron on his hip Big iron on his hip
Yeah it's weird the french auto-loaders with 120 mm gun are 7.7 but this thing with old technologies like NVD, rangefinder unstabilized gun etc is 8.0.
yesterday i outplayed a full squad of 4 that was using the T54E1 with the Bat-Chat 25 with it's new APHE shell. one shot each. that new shell is DEVESTATING!
Idk if this is how it should be cuz it sounds like it shouldnt, but Ive noticed the happening of if their turret is turning, they bounce more than they should somewhat recently
5:16 I got a ricochet on a point-blank, near-perpendicular side shot on a DF105 with 84mm APDS. Very unbiased game! 5:35 I think the guy you were engaging fired slightly after you did and the shot didn't appear because of the timing, or something like that.
I love this and the T57 heavy and just recently got both on WoT, such great tanks, and I see it can be as well in War Thunder, the only thing I'm not sure is that I heard the issue is the T54 in warthunder is too high of a tier where it does not do well unless it's a down tier, and I've heard people say it shouldve been at like 7.0 or such.
That camera angle makes the tank look like the tiny tanks in World of Tanks. Which is one reason I can’t play it, it feels like I’m moving a child’s toy around a sand table.
Really the only reason to use HEAT is to overpressure light vehicles, in terms of post pen heat is just a thin straight line from where you penetrated whereas Sabot actually generates quite a bit of spalling
I’ve been having the same teams. My entire team will be on the other side of the map, and I’m tasked with holding an entire cap point alone. I did end up getting eight kills, held the cap, and we won, but I only had three teammates left lmao
According to Tanks Encyclopedia, both turret types were built, mated to the chassis of what would become the M103. The components all existed at one point if it's true. Should be enough to satisfy the in the steel requirements.
8.0 US is quite a challenge but I actually enjoy it, even though half the tanks in the lineup are borderline unusable. The m60a1 and the m3 are a pretty fun duo at that BR.
Ah yes, one of the tanks burned in my lizard brains as "the bastards", along side the pasta box with a machine gun, the american T34 and all the rocket vehicles in general.
Aligns with my experience in the T54E1. Deadly weapon system but 8.0 America is rough. Had games where I one shot one kill with all 9 rounds in the autoloader and still lose
I love the T54E1. Greatly enjoyed the whole oscillating line in WoT (ik different) and I would love to get it in WT but Spookston is also 100% correct in the 8.0 US line being an aweful grind. I wish it was 7.0 so I could pair it with my T29. Would make me soooo happy

Kinda funny all of those tanks are in WoT but not yet in wt
he talked about it in the video for T69 and T57
T57 was 120mm on T43 (technically before M103), T77 was the same turret but on M48 so 1 less roadwhell essentially. The 155mm was T58.
The T77 was a T48/M48 hull with a lightened version of the T57 HT's turret w/ a 120mm. While the T58 was a T57 with a larger turret with the 155mm, both using the M103 prototype's hull.
