It has a 105mm with dm 33, moving it up would get it absolutely destroyed, it is not op, its good, but not op.
You definitely have never used or faced the 2s38 if you say this, 50 calls cannot pen the front or even the sides for that matter.

I agree with this, it’s literally a beast with its battle rating. It should be moved up to like (BR 11.0) or (BR 11.7) or something like that to be honest. BR 11.0 should be at its least battle rating though.

It definitely isn’t four BR steps better than 9040C or at the same level as HSTV-L.
i think 10.7 or 11.0 would be its perfect spot balance wise but gaijin wants to keep milking this cow so its staying too low down for the games own good

Imho 11.3 or AT MAX 11.7 would be somewhere reasonable to place it. Uptiered the 2S38 some games to 11.7. Didn’t change much, just some more shooting at weakspots. And my survivability didn’t really drop at all.
The only difference is that I no longer got crazy downtieres to 9.3, where I absolutely demolish the enemy team.

sure I never used it lol, and yes 50 cal does destroy it. The bmp2 is a better vehicle anyway and I dont see anybody crying about it.
The BMP 2 with its firing on the move missiles is a better vehicle yes, but spamcanons like the 2s38 are inherently more annoying because they hit you more than a one shot missile
The bmp-2m is inherently worse with worse mobility and armor as well as a worse gun and the missiles don’t make much of a difference.
Yep, but premium cash cow.
Also a very popular discussion topic, you coulda just gone to the other posts
The 2S38 should be moved up in br for its ridiculous gameplay and overpoweredness. It absolutely wrecks anything it comes across. Sure it can die from one shot to any mbt but if that mbt misses a shot it totally shreds. The HSTV-L has a similar round with more pen but its so garbage and it doesn’t kill anything. So it should be moved up to 11.3 where the HSTV-L is. Also when I come across the 2S38 in higher tiers it almost always does really well and better than the higher vehicles similar to it…
I’m not the first person to suggest a change to the 2S38. As it stands its brutally overpowered. It’s so overpowered: a well placed first shot can disable or one shot any tank, it has made non-russian slow attackers like the A-10 completely obsolete (yes bmp I’m looking at you too), and its a premium so it’s painfully overplayed and cancerous to fight against.
Conversely, the HSTVL which is a worse 2S38 in almost every way, sits 1.3 BR higher. The HSTVL was a little too strong on release but wa…
So I’m sure that most people can agree that they 2S38 is one of the most overpowered ground vehicle in 10.0, which makes it pretty unbalanced in said battle rating.
Most of the country’s in 10.0 have a pretty good balance with vehicles like Russia having the BMP-2M while USA has the M3A3 Bradley and Italy having the VCC-80/30 or even Germany having the PUMA. The same can be said for other vehicles but naming every vehicle would take a bit to name all of them. but when we take a look at the 2S38…
Dude, how much do developers pay you to defend 2s38?
I see you in every post on this forum rightly calling for a BR increase of 2s38… and in every post against 2s38 you’ve been pointed out repeatedly that you’re wrong about this vehicle… In fact the 2s38 is a SPAA vehicle, but the developers put it in the game as a light vehicle to give it the ability to do reconnaissance
Anyway, I don’t want to prey on my time for people who don’t want to see the truth this is my last message on this post, as…
Lol
U dont play those vehicles, and BMP2 is far better rest is your brain fantasy
It’s one of those “trust me bro, it’s OP” types of vehicles.
