A lot of these WOULD kill if you are lucky enough to get an absolute direct hit onto the roof.

I love how Obj. 279 survives almost everything but i got killed by Friendly Arty Strike with it 2days ago

Obj 279: Designed to be able withstand shockwave from a nuke without flipping over Obj 279 ingame: Absolute bomb-proof but still flipped by a bomb

It would be awesome if the bomb timers were longer and drive over it for much more direct damage ig

I think if you remove all your ammo and you would survive longer like when the f-16 did the 500s you survived but then the ammo cooked off

I was doing the Sturmtiger + drone strat with a friend, and at the time was new to the BR so didn't recognize the Object 279. It was the cleanest direct hit with thr sturmtiger we had managed to score yet, but all it did was blow off the tracks lmao.

Gaijin: theres no such thing as russian bias Also gaijin:

I think the test would be better if you actually had bombs that hit their target instead of missing

Yeah it's quite literally immune to all HE. No matter the size of the bomb, and no matter where you hit it, it does nothing. Me and my friend did extensive testing and I dropped a 2000 lb LGB directly onto the top of the turret, top of the hull, under the hull... nothing. Mavericks work because they're HEAT

What's funny is that, while the hull design is made so that the tank isn't flipped like a flapjack if it was in the blast zone of a nuclear bomb, it was only so the tank can be recovered and used even in the wake of a blast. Having this thing survive the blast and continue fighting was never a concern by the engineers or military bureaus that designed it. So yes, the tank itself could survive a close miss, but the crew would have their insides turned to soup by the shockwave, or in the case of a nuclear bomb, be cooked alive by the radiation.

When you want to troll CAS, this is the tank you break out

It wasnt designed to survive from a nuclear blast, this is a legend born on internet. The strange shape of the tank was like this just to increase the armour thikness against heat and apds shells. It was called nuclear tank because it had good NBC for the time and 4 tracks that will help in case of mud and hard terrain caused by a nuclear explosion.

Those Viggen bombs are no joke lol I'll use them solely in CAS

Now thats a nokia tank

once i got bombed like 6 times (all 1000lb bombs) by a very upset enemy team, this thing just refuses to die to bombs its so funny

I think if tank flips in real life because of bomb it’s 95% that all crew are dead, and 5% that someone is screaming with every bone broken inside a tank

Okay, here’s why the bombs never hurt the crew The object 279 was designed to be blast proof to nuclear weapons to an extent, meaning, everything should be alright when hit, so war thunder coded the crew impossible to kill with bombs

Well it wasn't designed to take a direct hit from a nuke or any high explosive it was designed to withstand the shock wave and extreme force of a nuke , anything within the ground zero of a nuclear bomb would most definitely be atomized seeing as most nukes can leave a very very large crater in the earth

I like how he took a lot of damage with the 25kg missiles but almost nothing with the 100kg ones
