FIGHTING KV-8 WITH THE OPEN TOP DEMON || Achilles

It was introduced in Update 1.55 "Royal Armour" along with the rest of the initial British Ground Forces Tree. The Achilles is based on the American M10, but carries 17-pounder as the main armament, making it an effective tank destroyer. At its BR, the Achilles has plenty of firepower, especially once the Mk.8 APCBC shot modules is unlocked. The 17-pdr is enough to deal with the Panzer III and IV, since it lacks APHE shells try to aim vital points to cause the maximum damage. The T-34 is a bigger problem due to its sloped armour. When facing Russians, the first shot should always be to the gunner. The Mk.8 APCBC is quite able to penetrate the T-34 glacis even from a distance but keep in mind that the damage the 17-pdr will cause is unreliable due to the lack of APHE. The M10 mobility is not outstanding, but the Achilles is pretty capable of carrying the player, gun, and event team where it needs to go. Protection is not good. The sloped armour and the track links added to the front will protect the Achilles from some low calibre shots, but the vast majority of enemies will be able to destroy the Achilles quickly. The frontal turret armour may be able to bounce or survive some hits from heavier weapons, but this is inconsistent at best. Side armour is paper thin. The high profile and the very slow turret traverse are not suitable for close range combat so avoid deep flanking tactics. ➡ https://wiki.warthunder.com/unit/uk_1... ✅ 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐧 𝟏𝟒𝟒𝟎𝐩 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 #warthunder #nukenus #Achilles #uk #tankdestroyer #tank #tanks #gameplay #tankgameplay
