BT-5 and BT-7

[highfivingbears]

For some reason,even though they both have a 3.8 second reload time,the BT-7's feels longer.

I also prefer the BT-5 even though it IS a reserve,and has lighter armour then the 7.

7 has better armor

bt5 is one of those tanks that will lose armor if u angle it and switch to armor spec (off/armor/x-ray spec thingy at hangar/start page) and you'll see most of its front armor is 10-15mm and not 40mm like tank stats say.

though i prefer it over t-50 cause it got alot of ponies under the hood which means it reaches top speed in no time...sad thing is t-50's top speed is usually 53ish cause cause it lacks the ponies to get there

Both the bt-5 and bt-7 should never stop moving in sight of an enemy. Their true armor is their speed coupled with repaid reloading times, as their armor itself is paper thin and basically any shot from anything will kill them.

As for the reload time, its probably just perception

Two points:

1. If you are pointing the tank directly at the enemy, where are you going to go when he shoots at you? You should be angled and preferably peeking out from behind cover when you expect to be shot at. At least then you have a chance to backpedal and to evade.

2. When pointing at the enemy, your weakest armor (the flat square of armor in front of the driver's face) is also exactly where they need to shoot to kill the BT-5 in one shot. Don't rely on the armor when facing directly towards someone who is shooting at you. In other words, if you're pointing the BT-5 chassis at an enemy then you're probably about 2 seconds from death.

Yeah,I mainly used the BT-5 for scouting out enemy positions for the snipers,and rushing points.

With the BT7,though,it's armor is a bit thicker,so I can hold my own in a fight for a bit with it.

i mean ive been able to kill tanks way above to the bt-5's punching class with the bt-5

In my lineup they both have 3.1s reload, that is with maxed/ expert crew. Ace crew would get it down to 2.9s. If you think yours have different reload times I'd say it's crew skill.
