War Thunder Ram I Tank: The Black Sheep Joins British Ground Forces

In the upcoming major update, the first Canadian-manufactured Ram I tank, a Rank II medium tank, will be introduced and will become part of the British ground forces roster in War Thunder.

Ram I Tank Overview

  • Rank II British medium tank
  • 40 mm cannon with AP and APHE rounds
  • Very fast reload speed
  • Strong armor when angled
  • Average mobility, similar to Sherman tanks

Design and Armor

The Ram I shares a resemblance with the Ram II in terms of overall design, however, the key distinction lies in their turrets. Just like earlier Sherman models, its mobility is comparable. While it’s not the quickest tank on the battlefield, it navigates maps quite effortlessly.

In this rephrased version, I’ve attempted to make the text more accessible and engaging while maintaining its original meaning:

The Ram truly glimmers in its armor. Its unique, slanted body design can effectively deflect hurried or poorly aimed shots. By angling the upper hull, it can withstand powerful weapons of this rank. The turret front is heavily fortified as well. Remember, though, that the driver’s side offers a vulnerable point.

I hope you find this rephrased version to be more natural and easy to read!

Firepower and Gun Performance

In the War Thunder game, the Ram I tank is equipped with a 40mm cannon. Although its penetration isn’t high, it boasts an exceptionally quick reload time, often less than three seconds for a well-trained crew. Additionally, the smaller caliber of the cannon provides the Ram I with impressive maneuverability on slopes and elevated terrain, offering up to -10 degrees of gun depression.

In simpler terms, players have the option to use multiple Armor-Piercing (AP) rounds and one Armor-Piercing High-Explosive (APHE) shell. The APHE shell is particularly effective against lighter vehicles or when fired from a side angle. Its penetration power reaches up to 89 millimeters, making it somewhat challenging for the Ram I to penetrate heavy armor. As such, the APHE shell performs optimally in close-range combat.

Historical Background

During World War II, the Ram I tank’s gun-tank form didn’t engage in combat. Instead, its chassis was utilized in various successful vehicles. Among them, the Kangaroo APC emerged as one of the war’s most effective armored troop carriers. Furthermore, the Sexton self-propelled artillery piece also saw extensive deployment.

A Close-Range Brawler

In the game War Thunder, the Ram I stands out as an impressive close-combat vehicle. It boasts swift reloading mechanics, a stabilizer, and robust armor, making it a formidable force in head-on battles. However, its downside lies in its limited penetration power at longer ranges. Nonetheless, it serves effectively as a strong frontline tank for early British lineups.

In the upcoming major version, you’ll find the War Thunder Ram I Tank joining our forces. Keep in mind that stats might be adjusted prior to its release, but as of now, it seems a promising asset for our British ground units.
