How come
Meant absolutely*. Not, Absolutely not.
The Falcon is extremely strong.
I’m 25k RP away from it right now, and I can’t wait.
I’ve got a GB main friend that I play with and he always rips in it and talks about how good it is.
It’s got an incredible belt and the stabilizer - it’s great in the test drive, that’s for sure.
I see.
I hear people saying that less side armour and more light tanks of the BRs near ~8.7 means that increasing the BR of the Falcon would not hurt it at all, but actually the introduction of more fully-stabilized tanks does.
It gets better with its APDS belt.
Probably will, it’s still built on a fast chassis. If you even whiff a shot and have no team backup (Which is 94% of the time) your screwed.
Even with the SAP - it’s got enough explosive and the game’s damage models are so finnicky that you can sometimes just overpressure/ignore armor regardless.
If you shoot the roof of a T-72 - you’ll probably kill it. Even though it has no right to penetrate.

The engine is relatively underpowered, but yeah I agree with what you mean.
Idk, the optics/cupola are an easy pen spot on the T-72/90 and 64/80, usually my go-to spot with auto-cannon fire.
Imagine them adding the Schimtar. It’s on the same chassis, with a fox turret, I think…
Or better yet, the AJAX.
Now there’s another vehicle that would be better than the 2S38 at a similar BR.
And it’s sorely missing. Britain’s top tier is mostly just copy-pasted Challenger 2s right now. They seriously need more IFVs and support vehicles, just like France needs the EBRC JAGUAR for top tier.
I thought the AJAX was a total flop because of the engine noise, what happened?
I mean - there’s almost 250 of them. (Different variants).
There have been delays but there are multiple perfectly fine models.
Maybe I’m thinking of a few years ago when it was in R&D in 2021. I remember reading that the test drivers and crews had their ears ring for hours after leaving the vehicle from the engine sound.
I think this was the specific article I read.
I think that’s for the “new” AJAX. But there’s plenty of “old” AJAX-es which were renamed from the Scout SV.
Your stats of a vehicle are not going to change drasticly after a few hundred games anyway.

I was talking about the new ones.
Yeah - those aren’t doing so hot.
But what matters is that there are AJAX-es to be added to War Thunder.
Yeah
