No offense but you're practically asking for it doing anything resembling frontline use with the AA barge. Shit's murderous as all hell and refuses to die without liberal application of torpenises.
Frontline was 10s out from spawn.
Never mind then. Typical naval spawn camping.
I want to know how much GE I need to spend for Gaijin to implement basic spawn protection. I respawned in a match and there was an enemy boat in the spawn, in the middle of the friendly boats that'd spawned there.
Gaijin solution: "For 999GE you can buy a one time use spawn protection"
TOO REAL, TOO REAL AUGH I'm gonna have nightmares that they're doing this now.
Unpopular opinion: I agree. It takes very little skill, but a whole lot of knowledge. You gotta remember map layouts, tank weak points, tank strong points and all that jazz. But for actual skills in speed, reaction-time, precision and what-have-you-not, tanks is very forgiving. You can be slow in your aiming 'cause the tank turret rotates slowly anyway. You can react late because your armour is likely to give you a second chance. As long as you know what you got, and know what you're up against, you're good. And that's not skill, that's knowledge. This is why I love tanks. It pays to be smart, not to be 'good'.
I'd argue most of War Thunder is this, with a little more leeway to mind games in Air (but still very much being a know-your-capabilities game.) Actual player skill (reaction times, leading) plays very little outside more suicidal rushing and knife-fighting in tanks versus raw map/ammo/armor knowledge. I might make the arguement that super-lights (M18, 906, M56, M50, Ru251, Type 60 SPRG, etc) push the knowledge/skill to the limit for tankers as there's often no second-chances or winging it. Being in the wrong place or even getting the wrong person's attention is an instant game over. There's a reason those tanks don't perform well for the average player, but can break the game for others.

It looks so doofy, I love it.
90mm on a truck gonna be fun on rank 3
Is this how Italy, the country of meme tanks, becomes the top tier nation?
Give them a po-2 or TB-3 equivalent and they'll be the first space faring meme nation.
All The Italian Army really lacked was: Fuel War Materials Factories Morale Money Proper Training If War Thunder went for realism over game-play the Italian Vehicles should have their guns jam every few shots.

OOOOF urge to buy A1A1 rising, no more fucking abrams for it to face!
so i just finished researching the TAM and played a game or 2 of it stock; it's so fuckin nimble for a stock tank, plus it's got a laser rangefinder as a tier 1 mod. i think when (or if) i spade it i'll end up liking it more than both the 1a1a1s
Man bringing the bagel out sure is fun when you die every single round to not having FPE ITS FINE THO YOU HAVE THE TANK ALREADY HURRRRRRRRRRRRR
just get the TAM instead 'cause it's way better the BR drop doesn't really help the begleit in practice since #1 there's no 8.3 lineup for germany so you pretty much *have* to put it in 8.7 if you want a good lineup and #2 8.3 is still exposed to the same 9.0 uptier blackhole as 8.7
New BRs have made 3.7 American glorious. So many fuckin' Shermans, plus the M10, plus you can bring the M24 along for good fun.

The only Centurion (so far) with access to APFSDS and HEAT-FS is a premium, gg Gaijin
if the RISE is anything to go by it may end up being overtiered too
No TB-3 or anything really noteworthy for warbonds next month, what a disappointment
