![]() ![]() In July 1941, the US Army began a program to develop a replacement for the lightly-armed and even more lightly-armoured M6 "Fargo" GMC, whose deficiencies as a design were abundantly clear. Many players were disappointed when the M8 was implemented only as a limited-availability vehicle, so with the addition of the Chinese version in the main research tree, I feel that this is a good time to reintroduce the vehicle to its native nation, although in a slightly different form. Most M8 Greyhounds produced, however, fitted a much higher-profile ring mount for the M2HB, which can be easily seen in the many period photos of the vehicle the ring mount also proved a handy mounting point for other weapons in postwar conversions of the M8, allowing recoilless rifles and even ATGM launchers to be fitted to the trusty armoured car. While the M8 is already present in War Thunder as a 2017 event vehicle for the USA, this M8 Greyhound, along with the functionally identical M8 LAC recently added as a Chinese Reserve, is an early model with a "low-profile" pintle mount for its. The most effective premium tank appears to be the Russian T-44-122 with a kill to loss ratio of as much as 1.The M8 Greyhound was the most significant US armoured car of WWII and, with 8523 built by Ford, also the most mass-produced armoured car of all time. ![]() In the US none optimal, above average BR can be found (if any, than most likely around the BR 6.7, including the use of premium vehicles). Britain from BR 6.7-7.0 (two Centurions, Caernarvon, Spitfire F), at BR 8.0 (Chieftain, Canberra bomber) and probably around BR 4.0 (Churchill III, Achilles). Overall arise spots in effectiveness among the nations around the following Battle Ratings: Germany at BR 4.3 (Dicker Max) and 7.0 (Jagdtiger, 10.5-cm-Tiger II, Panther II, Arado bomber) and the Maus at 7.7. But the effective use of these vehicles without a turret is quite challenging and requires already some experience in the mostly existing confusing close-quarter maps. Only in the problematic range of tank destroyers, the German teams are the clear leader. Therefore, the high win rates at most Battle Ratings, especially for the Russian team – and in the high Battle Ratings for the British – are not surprising. ![]() Only with the relatively high Battle Rating 6.7 the Germans received with the Panther II a superb medium battle tank. You can see that mainly the Russian and at higher Battle Ratings the British vehicles occupy leading positions. This is the most important category of combat vehicles, which can be used at relatively inexpensive costs and are most times armed equally, faster, and more flexible and nearly as good as the heavy tank at the same Battle Ratings in War Thunder. Therefore, one should limit the use of heavy tanks in the game as far as possible, if they do not have high kill to loss quota. Therefore, heavy tanks should be supposed to have around a 1.25-1.50 times better shooting quota as medium tanks or tank destroyers, which is unfortunately often not the case. Most effective Heavy TanksĪdditionally, it has to bring to notice, that the use of a heavy tank can cost up to 450 points, a medium tank but only a maximum of 310 points and a tank destroyer at highest 290 points. Therefore, the figures should be seen as a relative indication of the quality of the respective vehicle, nation or on the ‘battle rating’. This is why the average overall rates (victories, kills and loss ratios) are mostly in the positive range, which would not be possible in purely mathematical terms if the numbers of all players were included. Since these are often War Thunder players with above-average skills, their scores (according to the author’s personal assessment after comparing his scores on the individual vehicles in about 50 %) are better than the average. ‘Heatmap’ of the win rates of all nations on the respective ‘Battle Rating’.It must be mentioned, however, that only the results of players registered with ‘Thunder Skill’ are included in the rating. So far, therefore, in accordance with the kill/loss ratio the following vehicles (with an indication of the Battle Rating = BR) are the most effective ones in Realistic Land Battles. Some time ago the community of the F2P war game War Thunder has launched its own project on Thunder Skill to have finally a public statistical overview about the performance of individual vehicles and win odds of the available different nation teams. ![]()
