Object 279 Is VERY Balanced

The Soviet Object 279 heavy tank was always very strong in War Thunder. With the recent battle rating changes, it's even stronger.

Object 279 Is VERY Balanced

[Sir_Cactus]

First time I faced the Object 279, I was playing the Maus. Was first to shoot, hit the side of his turret with the highest penning shell the Maus has, only to see it not doing anything at all, then getting killed in one shot through the thickest part of my armor, before he drove away at ludicrous speeds.

Not only did you survive being point blank bombed, you also repaired all 4 tracks, the transmission and the barrel in 11 seconds

[scrublord]

Honestly, the 279 always kind of looked like a half-dissolved bar of soap to me

[nenjeepope]

Legend says, even after the nuke that one 279 took even the nuke like a champ and is still in that hole repairing

[Ko_Kasumi]

Totally nothing annoying about fighting a soviet proto heavy that can bounce darts/heatfs and absorb atgms. Clearly very balance.

13:59 - What even happened in the feed?!?!

Video 2: please play the Breda 501. It can pen anything in its br frontally and has a lot of post pen damage. It’s also fast and surprisingly survivable.

14:15 I laughed so much at both 279s casually eating bombs for breakfast

[WintersHarmony]

Fun fact: The RCV can kill this thing quite easily. The 25mm darts are small enough to go right through the turret ring.

Spookston when the tank is blatantly Overpowered: 😢
Spookston when he is now immune to all CAS: >:)

Gajin: *Looks at paper that says tank could survive nukes*
Also Gajin:"Yep this thing can clearly survive anything based on this one crumpled sheet of paper. This tank is a force to match god and we should place it at a blatantly low br."

[Blazeyaboi]

As someone who plays this thing pretty much daily it’s blatantly op at 8.7 if you play carefully enough you’ll pretty much be guaranteed like 8 kills

[edim]

That's the first time I've seen WT players get off the cap when someone on their team gets the nuke. It warms my heart seeing this.

[CheezeSpartan]

"You were shot multiple times in the 279 but none penetrated?"

"Yes"

"What did it cost?"

"Crew ears hurty :("

[Svytorius]

I really wish there was a sound mod where we could have random meme sounds from Spookston videos in game. The M163 at 1:45 had me dying.

[theyoinkster]

Hello Spookston, would you consider making a video on the M46 Patton? It has a decent gun with M82 shot, good mobility, and I think it would fit your playstyle well.

[Faden]

Watching CAS suffer not doing anything even with direct bomb hits makes me want to play this thing, just for that not for any other reason. They deserve it.

[rogerarruda]

279 could be your favorite heavy tank, considering how much CAS it can tank just fine

[thesenate]

Just from watching 279 videos it looks like the most op thing about it is the aphe performing like long rod apfsdsagainst angles. Going through the t72 side like that is something I only see with darts.

14:04 Love watching not one, BUT TWO OBJ.279's tank multiple bombs and still be operational with some repairs
