Best Experimental Vehicles
Despite the fact that most vehicles available in War Thunder are production vehicles, you will still run into unique experimental machines here and there. Those prototypes and pre-production models were used as testing grounds for many unorthodox design choices and interesting technologies, often years or decades ahead of their time. Today we’re going to speak about the most striking and curious experimental designs that you can find in the game!

Nice to see that the Maus and E-100 made it... not. They were the last prototypes of the german reich in ww2 and the fact that in your book of records video you stated that the E-100 was the heaviest tank in-game but it is the best part of 20 tons lighter than the Maus, are you trying to ignore the Maus's existence simply because you can't be bothered to balance it? Stop brushing the Maus under the rug, Maus lives matter!
you could easily balance the mouse into this game... but for this they have to stop the power creep, decompress the BRs and and have to rebalance the CHEAT-FS tanks... it is just not fair if you fight with a WWII tank vs post wartanks and ammunition. Put the light tanks (M41 (german and the US one) and PT 76 on BR 7.3 and the M50, M56, T92 on BR. 8.0.) on a balanced BR. Those LIGHT TANKS - they are for SCOUTING and NOT fighting!!!
C1c3r0, Heat-FS is no longer a problem. its really weak now :/

I remember back in the day when you guys swore against adding experimental BS tanks and planes, yet here you are. stop being World of (You know who). Any-who, great video, cleared up some confusion i had on the OBJ 279, Leclerc XXI when?
yeah, but if the dont allow experimental tanks, france would have no tanks
All answers (1)C1c3r0, Exactly
*against blueprint & fictional tanks
All answers (1)TAIMABURRR, yep. BUT LECLERC XXI WHEN!?!?!
now do video about XP-38G ... completely made up nonsensical vehicle, but it seems selling it for $$$ makes all those pesky "much realism" concerns (that got Maus purged from techtree) immediatellly disappear
XP-38G isn't half as nonsensical as their giving the luftwaffles a working Do-335, of which 11 were built and all failed, or their going pure damn fantasy in putting the Ho-229 in game, which never, I repeat, NEVER flew under power. It killed it's only test pilot in a glide test, more than likely because no human could stabilize such a craft without 6 computers constant input. The E-100 was a blueprint-only tank, and only one working Maus was ever built, so, Germany got all the love it deserves.
All answers (2)JustWill, Honesty I love those paper-planes. And I don't care much for tanks anyway. Let's also put it P.1000 Ratte and a Caspian Seamonster for navals. Wait... XP-38G is good now? I should really dust it off after like 5 years of non use, because it used to be pretty crappy.
Either you give the experimental vehicles the correct stats or you should kick them out of the game. For example: the Kugelblitz had a turret rotation of 60° per sec. and an ammo belt not stacks! And please nerf those op cal. 50. they are not historically and technically accurate!
There is a point where you have to accept the fact that this is a video game and it is made for people to have fun, so sometimes you can't make it totally realistic. They already do a pretty good job with realism so you have to cut them some slack. But that is just my opinion.
All answers (1)alec11382046, that point exists and it's far from being passed, it's not hard in the slightest to fix vehicles models, make the kugel turret rotate faster and add a belt instead of stacks, but they don't because of PURE laziness
No, the .50 cal are not OP, in fact in reality were even more powerful, document yourself. If Gaijin were to balance the game according reality, they should boost the .50 cal.
MAUS has been ruined by War Thunder Team. Up tiering it to have to face object279 and t55am-1. Well done.
I never got why people liked the MAUS so much as I just started playing, but when I looked it up I saw why everyone liked it. Such a chonkers
alec11382046, its the mere fact that it represents the sole evidence that Zee Germans HAF ZEE SENSE OF HUMOR!
It was not ruined and on top of that I killed it in 60-70% for the encounters. The problem was, I was forced to play certain vehicles, just in case I might face the Maus. This narrowed the game down to few vehicles. The problem of the Maus is that it destroys the versatility of the game.
bring back the Maus and put it at 7.3 where it objectively belongs you pussies, and maybe fix the shitty half-assed gamemodes while you're at it
and add 100 kill TDM mode back.
You again. You didn't kill yourself because of the maus already? Pls don't do it! They will bring it back in 2050! :))
Maus......... Panther II............ fix the BR! 7.0 shouldn't be getting blasted by helicopters after 30 seconds in a match!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gaijin really needs to make a second game or game mode and shove modern and "experimental" tanks over there. Wartime vehicles vs post war vehicles is just... unnecessarily frustrating.
I like to punish the fanboys with classic vehicles so much. I always use my OP experimental vehicles in order to make an unfair game. Then I look on the internet to see how they cry about it, crunching on my spicy pop corn. Such a joy.
All answers (2)IronSpanker, https://thunderskill.com/en/stat/IronSpanker/vehicles/a#type=army&role=all&country=all Oh boy what do we have here? I have seen your stats, they are not good. You are barelly above 52% win rate, which is not good. U have 2.4 K/D ratio, very bad. You barelly survive for 3 minutes. Most battles are in Obj.120, T29, IS-6... so you really like to punish people with "classic" vehicles. 0.9 frags per battle with your most played tank, Obj.120. 45% win rate with it. Boy you be quite with ...
Servers still down, Gaijin pls feed ur server hamster he's hungry and overworked );
i dont think they have Hamsters in Russia do they?
Fix the trash Hull Break
