I was rather disappointed with the C performance, compared to my other IFV’s.
Compared to the B, you gain a “better” APFSDS, but lose: 10 to 5 hp/t, if you play AB or RB, and a little more then half of your total ammo count.
i say “better” round because you gain 30 mm in flat and a little less in angled but at over 100 SL per shot and at 5 rounds a second this adds up. i’ve had good matches where i fired almost half of the 120 rounds carried, and i had to pay 5k SL in ammo restock alone, afterwards i’ve gone back to the FREE stock round.
I like the CV90’s but the 40mm versions require:
fire discipline, short controlled burst;
awareness of the ready rack, if you run out you’re screwed;
upgraded ammo is rather expensive;
The CV 9040 model’s B & C, as well as the LVKV variant, all have an “optional” LWS, and an “Auto-Track/Point” system that slews the turret over to the direction it receives the beam. They also all have a IRST gunner sight. I currently don’t have any of these, but I’m on my way to unlocking the LvKv 9040C.
Not only is KDR not the best metric for performance in all vehicle types, but using a sample size of one individual isn’t particularly clever to judge efficacy. That is basic knowledge of statistics.
Never said one player was.
In order to compare multiple players you need a KDR disparity number, which you get after looking at one profile and getting their average KDR disparity of the like-stuff.
Just so we are aware, the OTO is Ka-band radar, which I am fairly confident cannot be picked up by most RWR systems (Most RWR in game searches for G band, K band or X band IIRC- their may be some others I am forgetting but those are the main ones).
The wavelength cannot be picked up by most RWR or all RWR in game, essentially. So it CAN be chaffed, but the pilot won’t know they are locked on like IRT/IRST.
M103, yes, but others;
Nah, those are good where they sit.
Maus is penetrating well and good armoured it tanks even some of the early ATGMs.
Would you prefer to face MAUS while in 76mm Jumbo I don’t think so.
M103 has relatively weak armour compared to surrounding vehicles and quite long reload for a not good pen.
Conqueror on the other hand is, it basically has more armour than T32E1, more Pen, Commander FCS, Same reload, with two plane stabilizers. I don’t think it should go down in BR and has over 500mm of pen. Yea I know APDS acts like stupid sometimes but 80% of the time, it one shots (Except T54s, it non-pens the turret somehow).
sorry but im more scared to meet a is4m in my tiger 2 then meeting a maus in a T34 or even is3
maus armor isn’t that good if you cant angle
somehow you guys seem to forget it
??? the ap is good no idea why ppl complain so much
wut ?
shoot cupola and kill 3 crew member…
And the apds from it just sucks.
I miss typed this IG, it pens good but not well damage
in CONQUEROR:
I am not talking about weak spots, I am talking about general armour. I tanked like 12 shots in a battle and died to flakpanzer 341 with shot to my commander turret. I know this fact.
But in T32E1, I mostly die to 3rd shot frontally. it cannot hold even the MAUS’s bullet, while Conqueror can bounce or deflects the rounds from even the T55 APDSs.
The 2S38 can perform just as effectively at 11.0 as it can at 10.0, it just won’t be able to curb stomp early cold war MBTs which weren’t developed when composite armor was a thing.
Gaijin will never raise the 2S38’s BR as it would discourage sales.
