Sick of the A13 Mk II gunning down us axis

Defending or attacking us infantry are always getting killed from this tank from spawn camping or camping out of zone.
It’s fair against the M14/41 but with the M14/41 you aren’t able to do the same.

I’d personally want a nerf but I’m not sure how so you guys can discuss about it as well.

Vickets water cooled machine gun overheats very slowly, even slower than Besa. This is it’s greatest advantage.

That is why that obsolete A13 is more effective against infantry than lets say Crusaider II which would suite the timeline better.

After playing dozens of hours of Tunis, I discovered Italian’s AB41 armor car is so buggy at its armor that makes it pretty decent at survivability.
But still, I think A13 should switch with Daimler. Latter one is actually much weaker than the initial one.
Also 75/43 M41 is a joke… Though its AT shell is good at HE. (But no MG at all).
Tunis campaign’s Axis side is pretty weak for now, in contrast with current other 3 campaigns.
But you can still find some unreleased weapons from bots like MG34. I think dev may buff Axis side in late stage?

Meh. The mk2 can sustain mg fire for a while it’s true, but… it has the slowest firing tank mg of the game. (The Deimler one fires a tad faster wich is the only thing it does better) so at range it’s meh.

I have it way easier using AB 41. Reload every 24 bullets? No problem, I can shoot 8 20mm he shells when I reload! Constant barrage. It’s armour is also so strange… that sometimes it can take 10 successive shots from a Grant to take out. Other times it will explode after just a single one…

It’s because the armor is so thin. Tank shells over pen and if they don’t hit a critical module (like ammo rack) they just pass through. The Boys AT rifle can easily take them out, especially with a side shot, but many just aim for the turret instead of the ammo racks

Flank
Line up and aim
Cook the explosion pack
Give it a strong young mans throw to its ass end
Yell, “Tom Brady” 3 times
It blows up every time :sunglasses:

Would yelling Michael jordon work as well?

Yes! in that case, no need to throw, just dunk on the A13 but you gotta jump from the free throw line … then it blows up

I don’t get ppl who whine “plz nerf det packs!”. Blowing up tanks with those is probably my favourite activity in the whole game! And yes I also love being a tanker too.

So, get your throw distance perk on, gentlemen, and yeet those amazing dynamite bundles away at tanks like true cowboys to create beautiful fireworks!

Stick with your team and they are not a big treat either. Some tanks can evade them by moving forward when one is badly cooked/thrown.

You think A13 is bad? Wait until a lot of players start unlocking the Grant. That thing is a beast

Grant is indeed good. It doesn’t cause shrapnel with neither guns… but having TWO greatly compensate! It’s so nice. But, the thing being so high of profile means bombers will never miss it. It’s so high it will always be in the blast radius “cone”.

Det packs are hilariously easy to counter, since they only have a short kill radius for tanks, however I do think they should have their anti infantry capabilities dialed back a bit

As a new console axis player, these are not an issue. Just det pack them. Works every time. If no Det pack, Mark it and avoid. They were a problem for me for all off a day before I realized I could instruct my squad to stand back. Then its 9 det packs. Usually within 1 or 2 goes, the tanks gone. Command the boys to move up while its quiet. Never send them to spawn directly etc.

I saw your ass on a grant this night/morning.

I recently unlocked it, it’s great. It’s very vulnerable to det packs (it’s slow) and kamikaze planes (got a veeery high profile), so to take it out it’s the way to go :slight_smile:

I was playing a semovente against you haha
