2S25M has a 125mm gun with 3BM42 and 3BM60 at 10.0 (580mm max pen)
Boxer MGS has a 105mm gun with DM33 and DM 63 but is at 10.3 (430mm max pen)
Putting aside the obvious differences in size and speed, how in heck is the Boxer, not 9.7 or at most 10.0? Its a worse vehicle in every aspect compared to the 2S25M and only better in armor penetration compared to some other 9.7 wheeled tank destroyers.
How is this anything but bias or huge oversight from the developers ?
Probably because its faster than the Sprut, has WAY better gun handling than the sprut, and all the other characteristics that aren’t one simple gun statistic taken out of context and nuance in a vacuum…
When the thing you’re playing can easily be penetrated by a 12,7 mm round on the front, it’s more than enough proof that the vehicle is not that armored.
People tend to forgot that 2S25 is a tank destroyer. It’s not a light tank, despite acting as, it has only enough for offensive positions. Can’t hold much for long in defensive. The good point of the 2S25M, a tracked vehicle, is the mobility. But when you need to look for a enemy in a slightly higher position, the Boxer MGS is better, and that’s it.
Its not. Boxer has better depression, reload speed, gun elevation speed, gun traverse speed.
You conveniently forgot about stuff like gun handling, gun depression and reload speed.
I think it’s nothing more than a huge oversight on your part.
Mobility? Boxer wins.
Surviveability? Boxer wins.
Gun Handling? Boxer wins.
Optics? Boxer wins.
Reload? Boxer wins.
Pen? 2S25M wins.
But yeah. Sure. ‘Bias’.
People aren’t playing the Sprut, and that just is down to map selection as well as preference.
Urban maps are better for wheeled vehicles than light tanks.
And open maps tend to prefer gun depression which Sprut lacks.
