Got the At15a and the fv201 in three brit invasion crates.

Tried the 201 , wasn't impressed, a worse BP, sold

The AT15A  however, gave me a pleasant surprise

i knew it was buffed massively a few patches ago but no one rly talks about it

its a slow lumbering hunk of metal that has 200 alpha with a 3.5 second reload 

Having 3.3k dpm at t7 is ridiculous! 

Anyways aced it with 4.4k dmg

Its a great t7 td , a fun drive

The 201 is a tier 8 Caern.  It’s actually a really fun tank, and way better than the absolute bore the BP is (I just hate the BP as it is so blinking slow, I don’t care about it’s DPM).

I have it in my garage with zero games played. I have a ton of premiums with zero games. I don't have enough money to equip all of them. I'm sure I have at least 10.

Yeah the AT-15A has been a beast ever since the 200 alpha buff. Its one of my top 5 favorites for sure right now. Plus it still has 10 degrees of depression. Wow. Its at the top of the tier right now (with others) in my opinion.

I'm assuming it's highly team dependent???

No, not at all in my opinion. Yes it’s till very slow, but just stay close to cover and you should be fine. The teams that charge and die will do the same no matter what tank you drive. In fact, this TD has such a good DPM, armor and gun depression that it actually gives you a good shot to pull off some awesome comebacks even with horrid teams.

hmmm, coming up against at15as i never felt any sort of doom. Could be a good tank as long as you have enemies in front of you but once you get flanked (and easily flanked) its gameover isnt it? it has always been on my "nice to have list" ever since the game was released so maybe ill finally pick it up and see for myself

Personally, I have only felt the doom you are speaking of while facing an OP tank like the Smasher or T22 for example. For other tanks not in this category it comes down to the driver. Even in slow TD's like this one. 

 

Also, yes it is easily flanked... if its a bad driver and they drove in the open and just sit there not near any cover. The AT-15A has an insane gun ark and is one of the best TD's in the game at using cover to not get flanked. So many tanks think they are safely beside it while it will just use the insane gun ark and DPM to continue to fire shells into their side and they are done... while bouncing about half of their shells usually. Not being an optimist, it but really is that workable with a decent driver.

I remember loving my AT 15A when I first got it many years ago and still have a game

recording with it at old Winter Mal where I did top damage with a loss

 

Also, my last time using this AT was in the Gravity Games. A respectable 3232 damage (top) 4 kill loss.

 

Haven't used it in a Regular battle since April of 2017 and it's still my most played tier 7 tank, (332 battles),

1 more than the German JP.

 

Maybe I should bring her out of retirement but those Smashers and Annihilators do frighten my Big Girl.

speaking of smashers.... i met one in mines in my first game ; he bounced me twice and got dpmed to death.

couldve easily won that but the anni got me with his spede boost

Sorry to dig up this relatively old thread, but I just one this tank. I was disappointed at first because it’s a slow turretless TD. I am in love after playing it though. It’s an animal in Skirmish mode. Small maps equal less distance to travel. DPM for days that chews up targets that try to aim for a weakspot somewhere on your front. I’m not a big fan of turretless tanks, but this thing is a rolling fun box.

 

 My only complaint is the dispersion. Once you get the bloom down you can go to town.

I love both the 15a and its tier 8 big brother... Excellent in skirmish 

[Player_0000000007]

I think it's hampered by gun handling right now. Alpha bump was great but Tier 8's can still decimate it and it has nothing to give back.

 

Unpopular opinion, but post-buff Turtle is a better choice (tier-for-tier) than this.

[rhinotx]

The AT-15A was a beast back in the day. It's still not quite as good as it was when I was running it a lot.

[Shaymin_Loves_You]

I bought a few crates because i needed a bit of free xp yesterday. Decided to grab the three TD invasion's. I got badger (didnt own that one lol), turtle mk1 (owned), and AT15A. Either my luck has to be the worst because I hate slow & well armoured TDS. Or its either the best because I spent 6k gold and got 7.5k + 2 million credits in return `

[pilotharrison]

IMO.. 

 

The 201 is fun - especially with that DPM. I like it much over the BP as it has speed, but it does require a bit of thinking to play - hull down, angling, all of that jazz. Feels a little weak at times against T8s but it's fun if you like pea-shooters. 

 

AT-15A - it's not bad, still a little too slow for me. I'm not the greatest at locations so sometimes I find the action is over when I get to it in my slow Brit TDs... but that is life. 

[Handsome_Squidward_]

AT-15A is in store.

But it’s bundled with the Turtle. Which I heard is awful.
