Hello,
the other LEWD Australian tank, AC 4 Experimental is being sold on RU and will be sold on SEA on June’s 3rd.
Its stats have slightly changed so I will update you on the vehicle:
In-Game Footage:
Description:
The project of this tank was developed in 1943 with 400 vehicles ordered. The prototype was built on the AC I tank hull with the hull part under the turret made wider, which allowed to install the modified AC III tank turret with a 17pdr. The work on the prototype was cancelled in July 1943 in connection with the termination of the development program to create an Australian cruiser tank.

Armor & Model:
Terrain resistance: 0,1 …
Uhhh … what?
Garbage terrain resistance with a garbage engine… Hahahahaahahahaahahaha
No, 0.1 would have been probably the best resistance in the game, Rita changed it to 1 just now.
Changed straight ahead after posting but they were speed ninjas on detecting it. 😛
The Todger Tank finally gets a decent gun!
Odd, I seem to recall in some photos that the 17-pdr fitted Sentinels had the pernus machine gun removed.
That’s the actual AC IV, this is the AC EI, which is a test vehicle to see if the 17-Pdr would work in an AC IV turret.
PINGAS!
So, if the armor is the same as the tier 4 Sentinel and this will see tier 8’s, my god…
Might as well be a lighttank but with a better gun.
The Firefly has pretty much the same amor, is a lot slower and is perfectly fine on Tier 8. Ill definitely get this one, i love the Firefly, this will be fun too 🙂
Don’t get me wrong, I love the Firefly! Great tank, and the gun is sublime. I also like the Sentinel to be honest except for aimtime.. The armor when the Sentinel is top tier bounces more than you think. I wonder if the perfomances of the (tier 6) Sentinel is going to be on a par with the Firefly.
So we have the penis-mobile and now the… there is a joke I can make now is have a gun that can pen things. I just have to put two and two together
Pen- is mobile.
Much bette than the pentrator than I was thinking off
The tank looked good, until I saw the ground resistances…
60Km/h…
This is a lie just like AMX40’s 50km/h right ?
I’ts not quite as bad as the AMX-40. However, it will only go 60km/h downhill. It compares pretty closely to the O-I Experimental. Effective top speed is likely to be pretty much the same as the differences in their HP/ton ratio and terrain differences are small, but the AC 4 has double the hull and turret traverse.
I run my AC1 with 100 octane fuel & it makes 40-45 on the flat easily, 50+ down any slope.
60… well, on a good day…
its a improved Firefly guys, and looks like it got better gun depression and speed, armor don’t matter firefly don’t got it too, and it does fine in tier 8 matchs.
Firefly shoot faster and have a 0.38 accuracy so no it dont is improved Firefly.
I’ll take the improved depression and top speed any day, Firefly is terrible at positioning.
shoots 1 sec faster, and yeah it got a slight better accuracy, in exchange, it got a pretty bad gun elevation and the terrain resistance even being slight better, still got worse mobility, so you think a designed sniper tank that is slow and have difficulty with let’s say, using a hill and exposing only your turret to shoot is better than one that gets all these benefits at the cost of a slight worse DPM and accuracy? really better positions = more time to take your shoots, in a tier 8 match firing 1 sec faster wont make that great difference if you need to take carefully your positions to be usefull, at least this AC looks to be more “noob friendly” =P
I mean gun depression* xD
I wish they would buff the aim time on the tier 4…
so, this is MT tier 6 premium are better than firefly??
Tank is faster but has worse gun handling. Why would it be better ? Its just different.
What stats changed, Rita? I don’t see any difference
Was the gun stats compared to the last update I had given in a article solely about the tank (Supertest version)
Damn I want to move to Australia. I know it’s entirely populated by criminals, but I can’t wait for this to get to the EU server…
I think that’s the wrong video you linked to, Rita.
So…when do we get the Sentinel IV on NA server?
maybe passable as tier 5, but tier 6… gonna be like the tier 8 sherman again…
Say what? Sentinel has an amazing gun for it’s tier and good gun depression, unlike the Sherman. This thing is a solid tier 6 and would be idiotically OP on tier 5…
I use that gun on the Archer at T5. Damn, it’s fun 🙂
That’s a dick pic
Um Rita, that “in-game footage” is of a T49… not the Sentinel AC4.
And please tell me that accuracy is a lie. 0.39 with a 2.1sec aiming time from a British gun? That’s absolutely disgusting. The American tanks get better accuracy on their 105/120/155mm guns
Good and not OP tier 6 prem medium. Should have saved my money on AC1 to buy AC4 instead, because I dont like using gold.
Can we now have a massive buff on AC1?
I’d be happy with just a +5 on damage & a -.2 on aim time. I’m having a load of fun & getting good results with it, it just does so little damage!
LOW AMMO CAPACITY IMO.
ALSO KIND OF SHIT ROF, COMPARED TO GERMAN MEDS THAT ALSO DEAL 150 DPS
Wikipedia lists the AC4 as having a ‘Mark III’ engine. Does anyone what engine that might be? An Nuffield Liberty Mk III perhaps??
It’s not the AC IV, it’s the AC EI which was a test vehicle used to test the armament for the ACIV design.
Though in regards to the actual ACIV, they also changed the power unit from the original clover leaf to a perrier-cadillac, this saved space and eliminated the power loss to the drive train. Thus increasing its horsepower to 397, rather than the original 330. So as you can see, it’s a fairly different tank. The only similarities between the two are the turret.
Nice to see WG will throw the SEA server a bone, but really they just sold us the tier 4 POS (ok not total POS) (shakes head)…
When will it come to eu too? And vk 4503? They are both on sea and ru. Not on NA yet but alot of people said atleast vk will be sold globally today. Not seing that happen yet.
This tank is theft, the 60 kph is a lie you will not reach that on any horizon street with no terrain resistance, instead of the nimble fighter it is a cripple only the gun is good and only in its tier.
If the stats were right, some elevation/depression, good gun and speed were true it would be worth it now it is pure and utter theft!
AC 4 is a good tank, if you can brain is possible do good dmg . beeter in 6-7 tier battle, but he is not without chance in 8 tier battle. He is not flanker, but sniper with changing possition.
