Sure, and Strf 9040C can go to 10.3, with HSTVL going to 11.7.
Begleit to 9.7 as well.
That or have all 138 rounds be firable without reloading first stage of 2S38 and 2S38 to 10.7 with no changes to its analogues.
This take of mine is from August of last year BTW.
The turret difference isn’t strong enough to warrant its own increase in BR.
IMO PUMA would be a higher BR as well if unmanned turrets on auto-cannon platforms mattered so much. While no direct comparisons, it has far more armor and speed than CV9030 FIN, which is what primarily makes it 10.0 instead of 9.3.
you presented a stellar lack of reading comprehension , cherry picking and the complete denial of side effects of certain drawbacks and how those affect other aspects of the vehicle’s capability.
Its overhyped, over-dramatized, spammed-out shitmobile SPAA. Which makes people cry about it when they get killed by a flood of it post-sale.
And it is not significantly better than other IFV’s at its Br or bellow it
Always amusing to see the spergoids that depend on Russian Bias to perform well commit to such insane mental gymnastics to defend their bullshit vehicles.
Weird that apparently you still can’t perform with them, even though they are so broken.
Altough thats one of the very few tanks which is indeed broken and you still suck with it, gg bro.
How well a large portion of players can perform with a vehicle shows the general effectiveness of that vehicle. If a vehicle is good for BR, you’d expect that the general KD for that specific vehicle would be greater than a vehicle that isn’t good for its BR.
Of course, there are other factors that indicate how good a vehicle is, but general KD is definitely one of them, although KD can be influenced by other factors too.
HSTV-L, at the moment, is pretty good against Russian and Chinese MBTs, but it falls flat against NATO MBTs (because of their lack of unprotected ammunition racks). The HSTV-L seems to have similar post-pen damage as the 2S38, but has 1.5s reload instead of a 0.5s reload, as well as only have 26 shells.
Of course, I 100% still agree that the HSTV-L is generally better at destroying enemy tanks than the 2S38, but the giant gap in BR, especially considering the HSTV-L cannot act as a pseudo SPAA, is questionable.
Even if the 2S38 gets uptiered to 10.3, like you said, I can’t see how the HSTV-L would be 1.0 BRs higher in capabilities than it.
but it does impact the Performance because of … that buy it “look futuristic ru tonk, must buy”
it ruins entire br brackets because those people doesn’t know how to play it use it etc
Why should the hstvl 12.7 ? makes 0 sense 2s38 would beat it in all regards except apfsds pen iirc
and bagel 10.7 ? sure if we get the apfsds round the helicopter warning and the 720hp engine back
I do wonder what you smoke all day long…
HSTVL is faster, smaller, better gun & ammo, better optics, with identical protection. The only downside is thermal generation.
Weird of you to defend 2S38…
Begleit is currently 1 BR lower than where 2S38 should be.
Begleit is as fast as 2S38, same armor, TOW missiles, similar optics. Only downsides are worse thermal generation and no APFSDS.
Giving Begleit APFSDS would make it at least the same BR as 2S38, but because it’d be better than the 2S38 due to TOWs it’d probably 0.3 BRs higher than 2S38 with APFSDS.
IRT and proximity shells don’t increase its BR as it’s already above 9.3.
Reload doesn’t matter too much.
And 2S38 has the same first stage as HSTVL has ammo.
IRST and Proxy shells very much should increase its BR as it allows the vehicle to counter air targets, in particular close flying Heli’s/Planes, which is a huge deal given how lightly armored the HSTV-L and 2S38 (supposedly) is
Reload matters a lot when the HSTV-L has a 3x the reload time when it only has 20% more penetration than the 2S38 (about 50mm)
and finally
Same first stage *But about 120 more rounds than the HSTV-L total, allowing it to engage with significantly more targets overall
Its anti-air capability already has increased its BR to 9.3 [and beyond for APFSDS]. However, IRT [no search functionality] and proxy cannot be more effective than that.
2S38’s BR is currently 10.0, above its anti-air capability.
So by that logic, the LAV-AD should be 9.3? Since it has no Search mode, and replaces the Proxy with Stingers? It also lacks the APFSDS and its “rockets” are a joke.
And the HSTV-L down to 10.3? Since it doesn’t have ANY SPAAG capabilities and only has APFSDS with no IRST.
