I think that the AGS is due to receive the M900 shell, especially at its new BR. I made this post a little over a year ago, asking for M900 to be added to the AGS, as it felt relatively ineffective sitting at 11.3, especially facing the hordes of T-80Us.
But now, with the AGS being 12.0, I don’t think there’s any reason for it not to be added. AGS facing the vehicles that are at 12.0 and 12.7 (max uptier) is combat ineffective unless it’s shooting an Ariete or Type 10 (even then it will not pen the turret, that’s how bad sub 400mm pen is.)
And for the nerd that’s going to come here and say “but but M68 can’t fire M900 I found this little document that says so” please shut up link from previous post.
I understand the AGS is basically a gun on tracks and can be difficult at times to take out when you only have said gun to shoot at, but the AGS has been uptiered so much that this no longer matters anymore as it can’t pen anything it sees.
Another good source for M900 compatibility is this one.
Outlines all the advantages and disadvantages of each candidate vehicle and updated requirements for the competition. Compatibility with the next generation KE round is specifically mentioned
Because I don’t want it to get moved up any further, I prefers it to be 12.0. Outside of cqc city maps this thing can be easily abuse via hull down and you will easily maintain 3-4 KD in it
I recently got the AGS from the SL crates and while I think its a good vehicle, it’s APFSDS could definitely be… improved. The APFSDS didnt seem that much better than the HEATFS it had stock. Then again I havent played it a whole lot and dont know much about it. +1
It’s insane to me its at 12.0 with a sub 400mm pen round meanwhile 2S25 from the russian tree (Light tank like the AGS) IS SITTING at 10.0 with a near 600mm pen round
Not mentioning the BMPT that sat a good almost 2 BRs lower for a while and is still a BR lower about and murders everything and is very hard to kill, where as this tank is super limited in effectiveness and dies if you dont have enough cover or if someone fires any explosive munitions at it.
It’s almost like there’s more to vehicles than raw pen values.
Or are you one of those people that thinks the Object 292 should be 12.7 thanks to it having the highest penetration in the game? Or that the M60 120S should be 11.7 next to the M1A1 Abrams because they share the same APFSDS round?
