The B1 ter Is Balanced

France's B1 ter heavy tank is, with no exaggeration, probably the most overpowered tank in War Thunder. In just a few days of playing it, I set personal kill records twice. It has two pretty capable guns (one 47mm anti-tank and one 75mm howitzer) as well as extremely effective armor. Couple this with decent mobility and you have a recipe for destruction. Gaijin actually removed it from the store for a while, but ended up reintroduced it as a premium you can buy with golden eagles. It desperately needs some balancing.

I usually try to add in more jokes, but I think just showing how ridiculous this thing is was enough.

0:17 the look on that panzerjager 1 is priceless

Matilda when it meets the B1 Ter on opposite sides of the match: our battle will be legendary

[polish_lama]

I think everything in Spookston"s hands is unbalanced

[captainabi]

B1 exist

Every enemy team:i have decided that i want to die

New players: [happily unlocks their first 1.3 tank]
B1: *"Allow us to introduce ourselves"*

[nekomakhea]

"Maus got removed because few tanks at its BR could easily penetrate it"
Chonky Croissant: *exists, **_menacingly_*

In today's show recap,
Spookston survived Swedish APDS,
Became the absolute unit,
And destroyed the entire armada.

[DerUberStern]

Last time I was this early, the B1 was considered a modern tank.

French navy battleships engage enemy contacts, 1940 colorized.

[Jonz]

ah yes the "is balanced series" with this heavy music playing, love it!

[iyourDog]

The most satisfying sounds in existence:
1. og german 128mm firing
2. A crackling fire
3. Spook's outro after doom or halo music

[misspurdy]

What you don’t see: the 90% of games where a swede lolpens you and deletes you from existence.

[statelyelms]

"Hey france, aren't you making up for your Reserve and 1.0 a little.. too much?"
"Qu'est-ce qui vous donne cette impression?"

[bcbc]

This just in, mobile brick obtains gun. Kills 30+ in killing spree

[miloooo]

last time you showed us something op it got moved up and it's stat got a bit worse. so now b1 is gonna be at 2.7. thank you spookston, very cool.

When the match making puts all of the vehicles capable of penning you on your team

[mouser]

Ngl I love the ter for 1 reason, it's a middle finger to flanking aa with canons

[lucasmoreno]

I still remember when I was in my B1 and a M2 and M3 Stuart engaged with me...
We battled for 5 minutes or so until the battle ended, with engine and cannons destroyed... They didn't killed me and I managed to kill one

The B1 is absolutely a unique tank

[randomchannel]

And to think i got this for free... Also the B1 Ter is very hard to balance, kinda like the Maus. If you make its BR higher, it wont pen anything. The 47mm already struggles. If there is a M4 105 in your face, either you get a lucky shot into its gun with your 75mm or you are screwd. So betwin being in 2.3 and having that armor and meh guns, or being in 2.7 or even 3.0 and being a mobile wall, i dont think its fair to put it at such BRs. If they do, either increase the penetration, or the tank will die, and it will be unfair for those who paid real life money for it, or those like me who worked our asses off for it
