Thunder-Bucket

Tankopedia here: https://console.worl...Thunder-Bucket/

 

 

CREW

Comes with the Alpha Bear crew, which has the Recon skill.

 

With a thunderous engine and a hell-raising gun, this vehicle also packs incredible penetration values.

Scouts use speed and camouflage to their advantage, so keep moving, and use cover to keep the enemy in your team’s sights.

 

Bio: Alpha Bear led an ace platoon in World War II, spearheading important missions against Axis forces across the Pacific. His tank got the nickname Thunder Bucket when he charged Japanese forces in Borneo during a ferocious storm and was struck by a bolt of lightning before engaging their frontline forces. His enemies were frightened and dazzled by the flash and were easily defeated. As the war went on and on, he and his brothers in arms became tired and disillusioned with the fighting and went AWOL from the Australian Army to become guns for hire.

it's progress in right direction

Grinded this one out of the past couple of days and got a few games in last night.  Like what I have read about the other previously released merc tanks (this is my first), the tank and its gun seem like they would be very good if not OP against same tier or lower. Has a quick loading autoloader that seems great on paper. However, due to current player count on PS4 and the bad place that puts tier 4 tanks you will rarely be top tier (I never was) and mostly face tier 5 and 6 and its gun has issues hitting weak spots due to accuracy, and distance.  Not enough speed to reliably flank, close,  and circle.  Be ready to use a pretty high cost premium round to do much of anything in those situations.   

 

Again, I only got a handful of games in, all at bottom tier, so my early analysis might not be fair.

[D1G1TAL HER0]

Really? You can’t be serious with this thing. Ground out the piss bucket this week. Wow Wargaming, can you make a crappier tank? Let’s compare. Look at the seal clubber that is the Needle, or the overall effectiveness of the thresher, then look at the reload, armor, magazine capacity, turning radius, power to weight, whatever you want to look at really, of the thunder bucket. If you’re going to make a tank that has minuses, you have to give it some pluses too. Complete and utter trash. 

[Hunter-1stStrike]

I have had almost 30 matches in mine. Not 1 was I top tier. If it is never going to be top tier it should never see tier 6.

[SteelDark1975]

I have never seen top tier in mine either.  I wonder if some things broken.
