Holy crap it does, doesn’t seem like you can incline it to get more depression? Wish I knew this when spading them.
I never had problems killing things, it just was not survivable at all.

Sadly it does not 😭 Not like how you can tilt with the BMD-4/BMD-4M/BMP-3’s I SO WISH IT DID.
I cannot argue with that at all 😂 Yeah, having so many crew members in the turret, AND high in the turret makes it almost an instant death every time. Buuuuut, since it has such good optics (high zoom and therms) I try to stay waaaaaaay back. BUT if/when I do push forward, I typically only use the missiles and fire asap to try and disable/kill them before they have a chance to nuke me lul. Even thought the darts are superb, just doesn’t compare to a tandem missile with 850mm pen =D

OH and just in case you wanted to browse, the old wiki still has a list of tonks with hydro suspension (MIGHT be one or two things out of date, like the BMD-4M etc, hasn’t been updated since WIki 3.0 came out.)

The 2S6 gets SO low to the ground, looks funny, love that one.
And the Pancake tank, Obj 775 ZOMG so silly how low it goes.
EDIT: The new wiki does have a page that lists the tonks with "controlled suspension: Controlled suspension | Features | War Thunder Wiki

question ? What does the 2s supposed to mean? T means mbt obj is mostly experimental and zsu is spaa but 2s just seems random. 2s1 is artilerry 2s6 is spaa 2s38 is spaa 2s25 is light tank

I have no idea! 😂 If anyone else knows and can comment, I would like to know too 👍
Ya tested it, looks funny. Wish i knew this as well when I was playing it like a baby BMPT trying to finish spading it in matches there was no CAS lol.

@Sternlos I just remembered another HUGE change to the tonks with Hydro Suspension! Both the M1128 and M1128 Wolfpack now have Hydro Suspension 😃 Up/Down AND Forward/Back tilt! Helps SO much with their low gun depression.
Double oh! The new wiki does have a page that lists tonks with “controlled suspension”
Ya im probably gonna buy that and clickbait when the sale hits to grind US, waiting for rdf to go one sale. Thats a pretty nice bonus.

Honestly, don’t get the Wolfpack. I think you’re better off just using the RDF and CB.
I really like the Wolfpack personally, Gen 3 therms for gun+cmd’er, silly good dart for its BR range. Only “downside” is it has a VERY high visibility stat, matters more for Arcade, BUT probably still does affect render distance in GRB (I know that is still an ongoing debate, but I have plenty of experience that Keen Vision etc DOES affect GRB.)
Im a fat oink oink paypig but im not spending 75 dollars on a single vehicle. Wont be on sale for a while since it is new.
Why cant the 2s25m change inclination with its suspension anyways?
I am a kebab person and am DEFINETLY NOT spending that much on a game AT ALL. I wish we had cv90105 tech tree
I do not have the RDF, BUT I do have and like the HSTV-L. Both are SO much better with the prox fuses now. And the HSTV-L has its crazy good gun depression (RDF still has great depression, just not “as” good as the HSTVL). RDF does have SO much more ammo though. Idk, I really like the Wolfpack, even before the Hydro Suspension, it was great for shooting over hills. And now with the Hydro Suspension, you can go up higher, and/or tilt to work with the terrain. It is definitely a different playstyle/technique though. Can’t play it “normally”.
Wolfpack Stryker is over 2 years old now

Yeah, different hull. I think it is “same”/similar to the 2S6, I don’t think they can tilt irl? BUT, fwiw, the 2S38 SHOULD be able to up/down, tilt LOL. It has the same hull as either the BMP-3/BMD-4’s. I think anyway. MAYBE it doesn’t do it IRL? Idk, but I would LOVE it if it could. People would RAGE about the 2S38 having hydro suspension though, I’m sure 😂
Skirts might clip the ground

Oh yeah like @llSolitairell-psn said, it will def be on sale. It goes on sale every year/multiple times a year. I got it on sale a year or two ago myself.
I also think the RDF might be old enough now too to go on sale during Anniversary event.
Yeah added in 2.43, I think we have had 2x updates since then? And next update coming before sale, I think the RDF should be able to be on sale, just have to see if they decide to add it to the sale.
Both are pretty good tanks, however I think the HSTV-L is superior due to that insane mobility.
