Admitting the 2S38 is at the right br right now is like saying that the ariete AMV is on par with the 2A7.

HSTVL is double acceleration, 13kph faster top speed, slightly smaller with better gun laying, better optics, and the best round of the auto-cannons.
The exclusive downside is thermal generation which largely doesn’t matter.

No, it’s more like saying M1A2 is still meta.

You fail to recall the 6 times smaller first-ammo storage and the 3 times slower auto-reload.

Neither of which matter because in the anti-tank role you don’t need much ammo.
I’ve yet to consume more than half the ammo in HSTVL in any match, and I’ve had a 6 frag match on Cargo port [one was a helicopter using APFSDS].

Ok 2S38 get like one extra features , an IR tracking for aircraft compare to the 9040c
This is false , the HSTVL is definitely better for AT stuff , especially considering it acceleration and size. And a lot of russian stuff are not on par with their peer so this is outright wrong

It is easier than admitting the latter, cause 2S38 balance by 10.3 line up for russia is pretty damn mid along with getting constant uptier and the thing is annoying at best and being a big boxy IFV at worst. Sure no other nation have a “counterpart” to it , if you want that but it downside make it enough to stay at 10.3 , moving 10.7 would also be ok. Both could work but 11.0 is a bit too much

What about the lvkv 9040c? It even has a search radar.
Should go up along with the bmp-2m both are gross and can perform well enough higher up especially with what they face at that br it’s a seal club.
I take it the sealclubbing just doesn’t work when you’re playing it though? It’s just sealclubbing when you fight against it?

bring it to 8.0 since it can be one shot yall are stupid lmao
Make the hstvl 2x bigger, give it 5 degrees of gun depression instead of 17, sounds great.

you forget one minor detail, 2s38 has better anti air performance with its proxy fuze shells, but besides from that yeah

but as a chineese main the 2s38 can fire 16 times in the time i can fire 2 times so it’s very fun to fight
The Otomatic is just over BR’d.
But doesn’t matter since you have to use it at top BR anyway. Or the Strela.
And it has a way more powerful dart then 2S38.

At this point just put it at 12.0. It’s going to be a very dominant vehicle and sky clearer
its not much better because of 17 rounds limit
i mean 2s38 need to move up regardless
11.0 would be generally fine
because everyone use it at top tier and perform fine anyway
and it shred both tanks and planes
unlike hstvl
It’s actually 12, but now you have an ammo box.
2S38 is such a non issue.
Im currently grinding France with the 9.7 premiums/squadron vehicle and they are just free xp pinatas because they die instantly.
Hstvl is a way better vehicle and it can also engage helis for a while now.
