The Tank That Isn't A Tank

There are some vehicles in War Thunder that perform so poorly in their intended role that they're often better when used like an entirely different class. The Italian VCC-80/60 is one of them. This vehicle based on the Dardo IFV is intended to be something of a light tank or fire support vehicle, and has a high velocity 60mm cannon with 2s autoloader. The damage on the gun is so low that it is better as an anti-air vehicle than as a light tank, especially since it has proximity-fuzed high explosive ammunition.

" I don't think Gatorade should hiss."- Spookston, June 2022

[DerpsWithWolves]

If your Gatorade is exhibiting territorial behavior, you should try a few things:
- Sit nearby, and let the Gatorade come to you. Don't approach it;
- Try to avoid looming over it or raising your hand above it, which could be seen as threatening;
- When the Gatorade does come to you, let it smell you. This may take several attempts;
- Try offering it food or treats;
- Eventually, when the Gatorade is willing to let you touch it, try patting it, but mind that its underside may still be guarded and you will need to build additional trust first;
- Blinking slowly when in their presence can be perceived as a sign of trust.

0:26 the problem is that the game uses module hp instead of actual damage models, that's how Ivan can survive a 30mm he on the face

i know other people have said it but i laughed so hard when "why is my gatorade hissing? i dont think gatorade should hiss" came out of nowhere lol

"Helicopter damage models man"

Tell me about it. I took the A-10 out for some anti-heli action: 30mm HE (air belts) on one heli, AIM-9L on the other. Neither lost combat effectiveness and I was promptly shot down by a third heli.

Gotta love WT sometimes

Not gonna lie, I laughed my ass off at "why is my Gatorade hissing"

Medium caliber APFSDS is so useless your Gatorade got mad too.

From this video it seems to play a lot like the Begleitpanzer 57; sure it's capable of destroying tanks, and pretty decently if you flank and ambush, but it's a menace as an SPAA when using thermals, HE-VT, and a laser rangefinder.

This is also why it's possibly my favorite vehicle in warthunder. Not only can it do multiple roles exceedingly well, but its also small and fast (and being a light tank it has spotting) so it can get anywhere on the map with ease and hide in the most unusual places. Its just the ultimate multirole imo and I love it, perfect for my play style.

what annoys me the most with helicopters is their artifical survivability that allows them to literally tank a rhino 155mm he-vt (3m proxy) with getting on fire letting them the time to kill 1-2 tank more while they should be disintegrated. And i won a talisman on the vcc80/60 so i guess i'm gonna play it lol.

Hey Spookston, not sure how much you've played the Ratel series in WT but they are terribly slow and have awful mobility. I think it'd be cool if you could maybe talk about it especially because it was known in the SADF for being quite fast in tough terrain

I love this channel "why is my Gatorade hissing?" best quote

7:00 the wings rip off because planes go a lot faster than helicopters which puts a lot more stress on the components. It’s kinda the same reason early helium dirigibles had such good survivability, you’re just putting holes in the skin which doesn’t rip because the materials are not under that much stress

As an Italy player, I love the VCC 60/80, any annoying CAS is met with a fireball and while it's slow it can pen enemies from the front, good for hitting the barrels and bullying them. I can usually 2 shot things without aiming for ammo or I take out their gun breach.

The Bell UH-1D is indeed made from titanium. It's probably 5%, maybe 6% of the total mass and mostly in and around the turbine. The rest is 1-3 mm thick aluminum and a lot of cables and wires. Loved them back when I was in the German army. Old but somewhat iconic. We called them "carpet beater" (Teppichklopfer) for the distinguished clapping sound the main rotor makes.

Pressure differential is why your Gatorade hissed. It's perfectly normal.

That, or your flavored sugar water has gained sentience and doesn't want to be disturbed.

"why is my gatorade hissing" that's because that's just a gator at that point

I'm glad to know spoopston hydrates himself.
