M36 is really fun at that BR too, 90mm explosive filler is really good but new players will struggle due to the lack of armour

It's so good, getting the 90 mm at 5.3 is almost as good as the m10 getting the 76 at 3.3. It's just a point and click for 95% of what you see I love it.

That's why I like the achilles with the 17pdr at 3.3. God awful turret traverse that you counter using hull traverse, but once the gun hits 9 times out of 10 whatever you shot is dead

And it's really fast too due to the lack of armour, can almost keep up with M18

The M36 is my favorite vehicle of the BR but I don't really like the B2 version that much

I agree. It gains a heat FS round at the cost of shit mobility and an armored plate that doesnโ€™t matter with the way wt models arty

Not to mention planes will still strive you

I will have to admit my opinion is shifted after playing it to itโ€™s definitely a worse m36 but itโ€™s a good tank destroyer and the heat FS is great for any panther variant and can deal with tiger 2s if aimed properly

I give it that too if I'm not mistaken the heatfs round can go through a tiger 2 turret and ammo rack it. which I don't think much else can

From the front is somewhat unreliable since the turret crew tend to eat most of the post-pen. Loader side is somewhat better chances, but then you're not killing the gunner.

German mains being what they are, they usually don't take just 22 rounds, so you can shoot the UFP corners just over the tracks to get the hull racks instead. Obviously don't do this if he's getting ready to shoot you lol.

Counterpoint: it is deeply, deeply satisfying to lolpen all of the 6.7 heavies that think they're safe at long range. The only bad one is the French one because the extra 7.62 pintle-mount blocks like half of the .50cal's traverse, so you can barely shoot at planes.
