Hello everyone and today im going to cry about balance.
Everyone knows Gepard is 8.3 spaa and it has DM23 shell with 125 mm pen and also good mobility (65km/h) and remember it has 8.3
But in US line they have XM246 at 8.7 and it have only 65 mm pen and 48km/h it is way worse than Gepard but has higher br than Gepard.
And is it balanced?
XM246 is way more survivable
The API-T is causing more problems than the APDS in the Gepard. Somehow that tiny shell can overpressure my IS-4. XM-246 also have way better armour than the Gepard.
I have both SPAAs and I can confidently say that the XM246 is better. I have tanked a lot more shots than a SPAA should, and the Gepard only gets 40 rounds of DM23, Aswell as the XM having better radar i think
The XM246 turret is a literal blackhole for any shell that hits it. It just does not take damage
XM246 is way BETTER then Gepard slower means you think more methodically and Ive gotten alot more nukes in the XM246 then the Gepard first 3 matches in the XM246 I got a nuke and my first Gepard nuke was after 26 Matches.
Also the XM246 is way more accurate with having a LRF and the guns being closer together.
I hit an XM246 Turret with 3BM42 and it nonpenned somehow lol.
Yes, it tanks some shells really good, but this is bug and it can’t tank so much, but this isn’t trigger to put XM246 on 8.7
poeple have pointed out several other things it does better so I really don’t know how you fail to see it.
Also why are you even making this topic you have none of the vehicles mentioned???
Bro i have XM246 and i’ve played on Gepard on my friends account. Gepard is still un balanced because it is fast and has DM 23 then XM246 only has armour, but it is bad
Aren’t those rounds severely limited? How the heck is it running amok after 4 or 5 bursts?
And?
I’m curious as to how it runs amok with limited amounts of DM 23.
Does it plop down an ammo depot, nullifying it’s movement advantage?
Maybe because DM23 can easily pen some soviet heavy tanks into the side?
Never mind.
