War Thunder: New 60mm HVMS Light Tank, Comically the Worst?
The newly added 60mm HVMS light tank (Bardelas) in War Thunder is based on the M113 APC chassis and exhibits 'objectively' the worst performance due to the low penetration of APFSDS rounds, negligible damage, slow reload speed, and extremely poor gun depression. Players try to overcome the tank's shortcomings, but the overall evaluation is very negative.
