Most of light tank addition either are tank destroyers or support vehicles (CV90 105 TML) or infantry fighting vehicles.
Just because Gaijin reserves autocannons-based light vehicles for USSR this update and main battle tank for others doesn’t means there’s a special threatment, every tech tree recieves at least and mostly two vehicles (if it’s a premium bundled with a tech tree vehicle; e.g. F-2A and F-2A ADTW, with exceptions).
Last Major update the USSR recieved T-72B3A as main addition whereas Great Britain recieved the Badger infantry fighting vehicle, if you believe so, I don’t think there’s any pattern that USSR gets autocannons while other nation doesn’t.
If that is the way that op phrased it. I agree completely TT shouldn’t be asymetrical in terms of updates. For example: pantsir, mig 23, f14 , strv122 etc dominance for years upon years while not having any contemporary rival in game.
Sidenote: With the addition of this bmd ussr would have 4 TT Autocannon light tanks and the U.S currently has 4 TT Autocannon light tanks :/
You forgot to count how many BMPs and BMDs there are in the USSR tech tree, also where are the 4 autocannon light tanks that you count in the US tech tree?
This is literally the first tech [unlockable] tree BMD in USSR ever added.
This one has been ignored for as long as all other tech trees.
The balance is extremely noticeable, as all tech trees have IFVs with drones currently, or at least an autocannon tank where IFV isn’t possible [Begleit].
Awesome, I’ve been waiting for the tech tree BMD-4 ever since the event where it was added, definitely going to be playing this, and i reckon it’ll replace the BMP-2M in all my lineups past 9.3
HSTV-L is not a light vehicle but it’s a light tank. 2S38 also fits inside the “not a autocannon like BMD and Bradleys” due to the caliber, firerate and at the same time designation (as a SPAAG). And by other BMPs you mean BMP-2M?
Full lineup is even worse, 8/10 of them can scout too LOL!!! I was planning on replacing the T-55AM-1 with the T-80UD during next sale buuuuut might just have to replace it with the NEW BMD and go FULL light tank lineup and no MBT’s 🤣 Be full scouting tonks 🔭 and just 1 CAS lmao.
YEAH! I do like that guy too, but it can’t scout 😭 I have often thought about replacing something with the Khriz. Especially in the ~9.3 br lineups, since the BMD’s/BMP-3 has been raised in BR a bit now. Not much of a diff between 9.3 and 9.7 lineups anymore, with regards to uptiers. (Or even using the 2S25M and just going to 10.0)
