Italy Makes Worst Light Tank, Asked To Leave NATO

There are plenty of bad tanks in War Thunder, but few are as frustrating to use as the Italian C13 T90 light. Despite having an enclosed turret, the crew is vulnerable to even coaxial MGs. The 90mm has relatively poor penetration, an average reload rate, and poor damage. In the blog post about it, Gaijin devs were having a difficult time finding anything positive to say, and I can see why.

Italy Makes Worst Light Tank, Asked To Leave NATO

11:00 "does everyone know you can .50 cal this thing?"
No, American mains just hold space bar at everything that shoots at them

[crsmith]

I actually really like watching spookston happy, that sturm video where’s he’s laughing and having fun was great

Another video where Spookston tortures himself for our entertainment

"for a 6.7 vehicle" Iam proud to report that it is now 7.0 xD

[maledetto]

8:24 I had this problem too, sometimes I burn to death even if someone helps me. The weird part is that afterwards it's like I'm lagging: I can start moving but get pushed back in position, if I shoot the round doesn't cause any damage and I can shoot instantly again(this time without the round, just the recoil animation)

You could try object 268. I think its pretty strong with that 152mm cannon and 14, 5mm heavy machine gun.

The fire extinguisher not working for helping others has been like that for a while. Funny how one of the Battlepass challenges was to help others and you couldn't do one of them

[jonathanvautour]

So the c13 t90, beyond being a below average vehicle, has two significant things against it in context. It sits at 6.7, with no other Italian ground vehicles (Italy has a strong 6.3) but also at 6.3 Italy gets the aubl with the same gun, which his effectively better in most concrete ways (strong lineup, same gun lower br, simmilar survivability, much better mobility)

Truly one of the Italian tanks Momentos of all time

[lolzers]

I main italy and i remember the only reason i was looking forward to getting this tank is that i saw its hull was resistant to .50 cals, and italy only has one vehicle at 6.3 that can actually stop .50's
But then i realised it had the same turret the AUBL has, with only 8mm of armor on it and 2 of the 3 crew in it


And then gaijin gave me a talisman for it later down the line

8:15 its been like this for a couple of months now, being on the recieving end sucks so much, but it sucks way more that there was a battlepass challenge for it, wich was made way harder due to that bug

[GhostWolf]

The C13 T90 is one of those tanks you look at in the armor preview and think why would they add this, then you play it and realize it's surprisingly better than a lot of other vehicles Italy gets. It's one of my favorite Italian tanks to play personally.

[tronk]

i love this vehicle tbh, you dont get overpressured and your hull is immune to 50 cals, also the 90mm heatfs can be used in uptiers

[The_Cozy_Couch]

I would highly recommend the IKV 91. It got a little more overpowered when they added the laser rangefinder, which is what is usually talked about, but what I find unique about it is that it has an excellent response time. It seems like one of the better all-rounders outside the US tank tree.

[fakename]

love your editing as of late. its rare for videos to make me laugh, let alone war thunder ones but the comedic timing of your commentary and editing is impeccable. keep up the good work

[TheNavalAviator]

So, Gaijin in their quest for infinite content added an Armoured Personnel Carrier that hasn't got actual armour to speak of in a game with no infantry...

[ussalabama]

You know you have a bad APC when wearing plates drastically increases survivability.

[FatherGrigori]

I'm a big fan of your gameplay videos, and it sounds like you enjoy them as well

[fsynorth]

i played this thing for a while, it was literal hell without premium and it being the highest BR tank in my lineup despite being that bad. the only success i had with it was peeking walls in reverse so the enemy shoots the empty back of the tank and does nothing, also the scope magnification is fun

[fungunfanatic]

lol imagine having a tank and anyone with an AK could just destroy you.
