The sprut is something you bring out early game on big maps to scout, or as a last dtich attempt to counter a spawn push. Its just too lightly armored.
@@breadboi1248 Which just isn't viable in top tier, everything plays like a light tank with lots of frontal protection. Not being spotted is a prerequisite from everything, not just lights. Its a light MBT, a role needed by paratroopers IRL, but not in WAr thunder.
the only time i would take a sprut out over a mbt is the top speed. on a map like eastern europe (the massive version with spawn sniping) you can just book it 3km out to the side of the map and with ur great optics and thermals u can sideshoot everyone
The 2S25M also gets a hydropneumatic suspension, which alleviates the issue of gun depression a bit in certain maps and allows it to make its silhouette smaller. Additionally, it‘s pretty survivable from the side when you only take 23 rounds, since there‘s a lot of space between the crew and the ammo in the autoloader.
@@arthurkal5892 It‘s by no means useless. It‘s a game of knowing your spots on the map and when to lower your silhouette and when to raise it. It allows you to shoot over certain cover, in other spots it makes you a much smaller target in the lowest position.
the 9.7 version of this tank was something special imo, the reverse speed is the same as the top forward speed. If this tank had that feature, i would definitely recommend it. But id say pick up the bmp2m or bmd4 over it .
The way match making works 9.3 gets instantly uptiered to 9.7 anyways due to the premium spam (especially the TURMS). At the same if you're playing a 10.0 or 10.3 tank you will get downtiers 7/10 times
theres actually a pretty underrated russia lineup at 10.0 the T-80B, T-72B (1989) and the 2S25M. with the T-72AV (TURMS-T), T-72B, Khrizantema-S, 2S25 and BMP-2M as backup. i also take the ZSU-23-4 and the SU-7BMK. its really fun because youre not constantly being dragged to matches being filled with 90% turms
The Russian Rank VII is and endless line of T series main battle tanks+ the Tunguska+ the strongest helicopter and CAS plane tree to support it. No alternate vehicles are needed for that. I like their ATGM based tank destroyers a wee lower in BR but they aren't beginner friendly. For being able to use them you need to be an above average player at the very least. Russian tree isn't for somebody who looking for alternate stuff. Italian Centauro line is the best in terms of wheeled vehicles and German tree got the best light tanks. Russian tree is for MBT maniacs.
Honestly the one a tier below this one, doesn't have thermals, gets mango rounds, and is faster then every tank on the Russian line up to that point... Minus bt5, but I'd honestly play that one over the m variation! Being at 9.3, it's a world of difference. It's a great support vehicle and sniper, make sure you follow or repair your friends. I grind money with it and the turms, and if all else fails bmp2m or bmp3. Point is you can make that one work well in a line up, and get good games... But ya if ur in a 10-11.0 game, the main battle tanks are just better...
If they gave this thing the 3bm46 then yeah it would be worth it but why would I use this in my lineup when I have the t72b, t64b and turms. My t72 usually goes the same speed as this thing

Whole point of a light tank

@@breadboi1248 yeah but other light tanks are this badly armored. This is the thinnest carton box.
@@orcashamudeluxeu567so you say, it could work better if it would have superior mobility compared to a mbt?
Or a cheaper spawn cost?

Nope, it has shit hydropneumatic suspension that only adjusts ground clearance, atleast in war thunder. I really wish it could tilt like Japanese mbts

IF the suspension can change depression THEN it would be a rlly nice tank where you can hide behind hills and spot with thermals but no ;(

9.3 not 9.7

theres actually a pretty underrated russia lineup at 10.0
the T-80B, T-72B (1989) and the 2S25M. with the T-72AV (TURMS-T), T-72B, Khrizantema-S, 2S25 and BMP-2M as backup. i also take the ZSU-23-4 and the SU-7BMK.

mig21s is arguably better even though it only gets 4 s24's
@@Boopity7739 i dont like S-24s. i much prefer dumb bombs. but you do you.
I agree, specially because if you're using 10.0 tanks you will get downtiers most of the time due to the TURMS spam
@@maixonmaxfull and when i get uptieres i win 99% of the time because russia suffers

3BM46 at 10.0 combined with some amazing thermals? Yeah, you cannot sleep on this bad boi for sure.
I could be wrong but doesn't it have 3bm60 now?
@@eaststarling7805 it still got 3BM46.
@@eaststarling7805 quite late, but now they have 3bm60
the bvm vertical targeting speed is 40 degrees a second and b3 is 38
Depends on the map. It’s pretty good overall for the BR. I’m top tier it’s mainly a support vic. 3BM46 is very good with gen 2 thermals
it has gen 3 thermals
problem with this tank, is that is not agile enough, acceleration is ok but if you hit any object like a tree or a fence is going to stop fully
Love these videos keep it up!
Letssssss goooooo new sako sniper videoooooooooo :D
Always wanted to get the sprut seemed like awesome tank for the russians
Well its important for the paratroopers because of the firepower that it gives them
I like the new intro, and in other news, keep up the great work, and please post some more wart hunder pron
:)
This is funny because gaijin made a video with it today too

Could you do a review on the bmp3?
I mean no armor is best armor at top tier sometimes.
I took my tiger out to 9.3 and killed four of these in one game.
Just thought I'd share :D
You mean 10.0? 9.3 is the other one.
If they gave this thing the 3bm46 then yeah it would be worth it but why would I use this in my lineup when I have the t72b, t64b and turms. My t72 usually goes the same speed as this thing
This tank should be decent at 9.7, don't know why gaijin didn't lower it's BR.
God your intro is so great
What’s a battlefield free veteran?
So the BMP 3 is last light worth to play? I am currently at Obj. 685 and it's way worse than BMP
What’s err transport?
Could you review the puma when it comes out?
2 vids in one day? That's great!
Honestly, just bring the BMP 2M. Using this is like playing a t80/t90/t72 with no armor.
YES , JUST WHAT I ASKED FOR
Nice intro!
Firepower? Nah, it's purpose is to scout so allied Kamovs can have a great time.
at 6.13 you should have flipped the chinese player in the weasel :)
I wold take you more seriously if you played it more than 10 games
Luv me light tanks, ate me CAS, simple as
tbh, when playing against skilled player, the armor is not as important as mobility.
I was literally just looking for a video on this and there this video was, uploaded 2 hours ago
