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
You know that it even makes his point stronger?
It is much easier to maintain a good K/D with smaller number of battles thus if You have a vechicle with larger number of battles and better K/D it means that such a vechicle is ‘better’.

At the same time, smaller number of battles means not spaded vehicle games have greater influence over KD than the games where the vehicle is spaded, which can hinder overall performance.
If the number of games was less than 100 battles, I would agree.
