Alright... It's been stated that the ACL 135 will be put as premium SPG in the French Line


But how can this boxy tank can play as arty? D:



In-game shot


ACL as SPG
the gun elevation looks poor so how? D:


this Lunchbox must be re-assigned as TD

it comes with optional ramps to pull up on...jk

The name must be wrong. It's not an SPG, it's a TD:

Gun elevation is pretty good too:

Why are the SU-14 and the Object 212 boxes/school buses? Yet still do amazingly well?  It's arty, a box shape would probably give it more ammo capacity, it's not gonna duke it out close range

uhm.. gun positioned in the rear.. with the design, it haz a fine gun elevation

for the ACL, its positioned in the front and it appears that he'll have a TD's gun elevation
(dont compare the S-51 to this even if its gun is at the front)


@Lemmy:
*sees the pic*
oooooh... that's quite convincing.

Lol gun placed in the rear = easy running. I kid, I kid. Still funny.

Remember kids, inbreeding leads to degeneration.

Anyone see connection between those two images?

At first I swore that was the ARL with the lol turret. Tracking that monstrous beast looks easy with the tracks sticking out like that. It's possible, depends what tier though.
Has a similar look to the British Tortoise TD.

It's an assault gun, so it'll be a TD in game. They just made a mistake in the tree, all three "spg's" are in fact TD : the UE/57mm, the R35 AntiChar and this ACL135. On the other hand, the B2 10.5cm LeFH is written to be a TD while it's an SPG. Also, the P40 can hardly be called a heavy, the FCM 2C Bis is a TD like a KV2 is, the rocket-launcher Hotchkiss 28/32 nobody knows what it'll be or if it will even be implemented in the game.

Hope that clears it up

"Self-Propelled Gun" doesn't just mean it is an artillery. It can also refer to tank destroyers, however, tank destroyers are much known for Self-Propelled Guns, while artilleries should be known as Self-Propelled Artillery.

Take a look at this one:

Take a look at the premium tank "Jagdtiger mit 88 L/71" it's listed as "Self-Propelled Gun" while it's a tank destroyer.

Also, if you noticed, the whole tank destroyer line has no "Self-Propelled Gun" label, but on top, it has the label "Tank Destroyers", also on the other hand, the artilleries have the label "Self-Propelled Gun". I really don't know the reason behind this, but I'll give it a big facepalm.

So basically, the term "Self-Propelled Gun" may refer to artilleries, but to tank destroyers commonly. I would rather use the term "Self-Propelled Artillery".

Hope I clarified.
