    Of all the tanks added to War Thunder somewhat recently, the Russian PT-76-57 (also known as PT-76E) is definitely one of the most overpowered. The PT-76-57 pairs a stabilized 57mm autocannon to the PT-76 chassis, while also upgrading the engine and providing it with a laser rangefinder. At a battle rating of 7.7, the PT-76-57 mostly fights vehicles that don't have a stabilizer at all. So even if the PT can't get flank a vehicle and comfortably destroy it in one shot to the side, it can still break the target's barrel before it can react. Gaijin did raise its battle rating, but 7.7 is still not high enough.

    1. Laser rangefinder
    2. 57 MM autocannon
    3. Fully stabilized gun
    Cons :
    1. No thermal sight

    I am legit more afraid of this thing than any comteporarily-tiered tank I can think of myself - I play the Centurion variants pretty regularly and while they're all good tanks themselves, I know if I don't have my gun loaded and pointing directly at a PT-76-57 the moment it appears, I'm getting five 57mm APHE shells through my hull / gun barrel / in my cupola, it's terrifying
    Even driving the Chieftain variants and seeing someone bring this thing in as a backup is horrible - the Chieftain has a paper hull so it's never a surprise to get clapped when you're exposed in it, but when you're hull-down, angled backward, doing everything perfectly and an extremely hard kill for any other MBT, and one of these things rolls up, blasts your barrel to pieces, and then forces a billion rounds through the turret ring / gunner's sight slot / coaxial machinegun / cupola + commander's face, it just absolutely sucks

      I agree 100% with this. It was the same deal with the Puma as well. Honestly my biggest gripe with these light tanks is that they manage to consistently survive hits that absolutely should total the vehicle. If they survive a shot they will look directly at you and chip you down like a pest. I play britain as well and grinding 7.3 - 8.3 for the last few months and facing these two things along with begleits and bmp 2m's was torture.

The powercreep ruined these tanks imo.

      The Puma alone is already way, way better than the Strf 9040C, and sits at 9.3 while the 9040 is at 10.0. Puma have better armor and survivability, better mobility, better gunhandling and doesn't have a ready-rack ammo.
      Yea sure the swedish 40mm cannon does a lot of damage, but c'mon, 24 shells in the ready-rack? The Begleit have an almost half-bigger cannon (57mm) with the double of ammo inside the ready-rack, have ATGMs, better gun handling and better mobility. Also sits at 9.3.
      BMP-2M have ridiculously broken ATGMs, 4 that can be shot on the move at the same time, and also have better gun handling and better mobility. And ALSO sits at 9.3, together with the Begleit and Puma.
      Like, what? Why the CV90s have to be at a higher BR while being marginally worse?

    Let's not forget the laser rangefinder. It's bad enough that this thing has an amazing gun and ammo, but a laser rangefinder makes target acquisition extremely fast. Meanwhile, at that BR it's mostly facing tanks with a stereo rangefinder and pretty much no advantage over the PT-76-57. I have it and I rarely play it, it just feels too OP and too easy to seal-club even with little skill involved. It's head and shoulders above anything on that BR.

I don’t know what the max magnification on it is, but I do know I can very comfortably make 1000-2000m shots in that thing where most vehicles at that BR struggle. The HEAT-FS completes the package, but it’s still not a bad vehicles just running the HESH.

      Easy; the blowout panels only work if the panel itself isn't penetrated. The angle he shot it at likely smashed into the interior panel, causing the ammo det to kill the crew. I'm not saying it isn't BS, but the panels pretty often (in my experience) work if the ammo is shot directly from the side. This isn't to detract from your statement about the PT76-57; it's *very* overpowered, but in this case the blowout panels likely wouldn't have worked as the interior was damaged.

    Yes, PT-76-57 has a laser rangefinder and a stabilizer, BUT it also has 1 less gun, 2 less crew members, and less room to mess up your shot to kill it, AND its still 0.7 BR higher than the ZSU-57-2.
    You can easily carry enough ammo to get quite a bit of kills while still putting little to no ammo in the turret of the ZSU-57-2, similar to the PT-76-57.

    My favorite thing is when I get uptiered in my ww2 tank destroyer and I get to fight this

    Maybe it's just me being a bad player, but that new, fast BMD with the twin 23mm seems to be shredding tanks surprisingly well.

    This thing is the main reason I don't play 6.7, because having to deal with 7.7's is bad enough, but then to also have to deal with this thing....

    Could try playing the old trifecta of 7.7 heavies. Namely the m103, is4, and the maus. Lately I've been really enjoying the maus.
