ComradeMario's Photo ComradeMario 25 Apr 2012

This tank is awesome, The gun is superb (not the derp gun) and it has great acceleration and speed and it can take some punishment this tank is the best in my collection infintely better than the M3 Stuart and the AMX-38 the Panzer II Luchs isn't fully upgraded yet, This tank has my record of most tanks destroyed which is 4

Srsly, I dont know what's going on here, but EVERY SINGLE TIME i play that tank, I wind up as the weakest one in battles reaching even tier 6 or 7!!! Furthermore, I shoot others from a faraway cover: most of the time no damage even done. When they fire at me, I go up in flames in a single shot. I really don't know about you, but in my opinion this tank sucks big time.

Don't platoon with tanks higher tier than you and you won't end up reaching tier 6 and 7...

I enjoyed very much T-46, but after 130 battles I began to feel a bit frustrated and decided to sell it. The cause of this frustration was the extremly weak armour of the vehicle, very, very thin, which put me in disadvantage againt tanks of my same tier.

However, this kind of "cadillac" tank gave me very fun moments.

I somehow don't believe you, I keep being bottom tank in my t-46 too, but that's against tier V heavies as top tanks...

The reason for the terrible matchmaking is the high amount of tier 5 tanks that people without premium tanks use to get credits.

Today I'v played a total of 5 battles and 3 times I'v been at the bottom of the list. But for now it doesn't matter as I just try to do my best to support those big boys out there! And when I get matched with the tanks same tier as I'm, it's just... :Smile_trollface-3:

EDIT: Seems to be my first post here!

According to the MM chart, and personal experience, the T-46 cannot face tier 7 tanks.
Also, it used to be one of my favorite tanks, but the autoloader change ruined the automatic 37mm gun. It used to be a beast, now the awkward 5 round, 2 bursts system, with a 5 second reload time after that just doesn't work.
I miss the good old days of using it with 3 round bursts followed by a 2 second reload, and utterly dominating tier 3 matches.

You know, some months ago I started a thread moaning about "when the game would be fun again" mostly because I was set to grind through with the T-46 to get both the T-28 and the T-50. I went for the so-called derp gun, but quickly tired from the whole thing, and until two days ago I didn't play the game at ALL.
Back again in the T-46, and even with its bad armor and accuracy (with the derp gun at least), it has started to grow on me!
I had planned to sell it as soon as I had researched the T-50, but its hard to part from it now :Smile_veryhappy:
My original plan was to use it as an assault tank in the urban maps, get close and derp them, but that only works on so many maps.
I recently had some success as a penetrator; going for the enemy's artillery, which landed me a record 4 kills (2 arty, 2 random encounters).

Ah yes, my point being?
Well, the T-46 is not as bad as many would have you think! :Smile_Default:
These days the SU-76 gets my wrath :Smile-angry:

The soviet T-46 may be the best tier 3 light tank in game.  It has all of the attributes you want in a light: good speed, good manueverability, light weight.  

View range of 350 is respectable (upgraded turrent) and can be further extended with optics.

The item that makes this tank so fun to play and borderline OP for its tier is the 15 rounds/min 76mm L10 gun.  

66/100/38 pen with 105/110/164 dmg. Accuracy is a wonderful 0.5 at 100m.

This tank, played as a sniper, owns.  You will 1 shot many of the things that come across your view and 2 shot most of the rest.

Your speed gives you the option of running from one kill zone to the next before arty can lock on.  Throw in a camo net and you have an excellent gun platform.

For tier 3 "awww" moments this is the tank you want.

YOU TROLL BRO?

If you wanna snipe, use Gun 45 mm VT-42, accuracy 0.37.

0.37 is a DECENT accuracy.  0.50 is crap.

Actually when I was a newbie I  did not read what the spec numbers really meaned and thought the higher the number the greater the accuracy. And I was going the german line. Fail.
