Heres 2s38 depression visualized. I can not depress my gun any further, imagine this in the HSTVL lmao.
And here is a video showing this, its unimaginably dogwater sometimes, people that don’t play this stuff never realize. I sat there in disbelief for a second, thought he died and then killed him after having to pull forward.
And from the same match is “OP 10.3 Russia on display”, here’s what happens when you take a shot from out of cover when you have Russian reverse gears. I promise you I would have made it back behind that rock in any HATO tank near this BR.
I know it was a bad spot, that why I was hesistant to begin with, I knew I was about to eat it any moment from someone over on the right, but that cv was being a paid actor for some reason, I also expected there to be more than just him over there. Problem is with 5 degrees of gun depression the amount of “good positions” on a map are extremely limited vs 9/10 or 17 in the case of the hstvl. And im not so good at the game that I know every spot that is applicable to 5 degrees of gun depression on every map but im trying to find them. My plan on that spot was to use the rocks for cover, but I can’t sit behind them with russian depression and safely fire, I have to move out in the open to engage anyone there.
Could you tell me where on that side of the map I should be playing a tank with 5 degrees of gun depression? Because I only know the spots that work on my german tanks that have double of what russian tanks have, that 4-5 degrees makes a massive difference.
My point with the video is that most people dont even factor in gun depression for how strong a tank is, and it does matter A LOT.
i main china i know about good posistions on that map you can sit on the dunes on top spawn and snipe when they are going left also you dont have to use your deppression to play hull down on some spots you can use your elevation which the 2s38 has alot of
This just shows you have skill issues, which is not a good thing in my opinion… It’s an extremely OP vehicle otherwise you can’t explain the huge amount of comments and posts from people who have raised the subject in various posts on this forum, even professional players like OddBawZ and Spookston have admitted that it should be at BR 11.0
Everyone that has played this game for some time should say that the 2s38 is underbr and the Otomagic is too high.
If you say otherwise it’s because you haven’t played enough or because you’re biased.
The 2s38 plays like a tank destroyer and it shouldn’t.
The Otomagic plays like shit and it shouldn’t too.
So now I’m a troll just because I tried to challenge your takes and don’t take them as a gospel, interesting.
Oh, I’ve seen plenty of “experts” on this forum that bashed on 2S38 and BMP-2M and guess what happened when you looked up their stats ? They’re crap.
Makes me wonder why do they complain in the first place.

He has some matches in his Italian copies.
Who knows, some people form opinions in a weird way.
