It will be nerfed to unplayable levels after they sell enough units. You ppl never learn?

i mean, not really, the 2s38 has been on sale for like over a year now and its only just going to 10.7

That vehicle is shit

i mean its not fun to play, but it is very annoying to fight

and shit is a bit strong for it, its still an effective vehicle

even btr80 can destroy br+11 vehicles that doest meant it should br +11, strong against what? all br10++ tanks are faster and have better armor.

the 2s38 is a light tank not a heavy tank

yeah just cause 2s38 can be killed by a 3.7 doesnt mean it should be 3.7 though

what can kill what is a terrible way to balance brs bro

BTR-80 at 3.7 🤔

That is my point, light or not it does not mater at br +11 all MBTs are faster.

okay? youre contradicting yourself, br is not determined by one single thing, be it armour or speed, its based on the whole vehicle and its performance

6+m using M735 all the way to M829A2 equivalent, you can probably take note of how to kill them here.

reliable way to nerf it (and every other Russian tank) is to give it realistic protection past ERA (around 420mm of effective APFSDS protection).

Umm…

Can you read?

Look at T-72 1989. Perhaps, I forgot to mention that by effective APFSDS protection I’ve meant dividing base hull protection by 1.27, which is normalization multiplier for long rods at 68°:

T-90M and BMPT have the same composite layout.

Am I missing something here? Why look at T-72B 1989?

a man in a suit is sitting in a chair with his hands in the air and the words absolute peak above him

T-72B89, T-90, T-90A/S, T-90M and BMPT based on T-90 have the same composite - 176 mm of steel, the rest is rubber/polyethylene material

I see.
However with Relikt I doubt any top tier rounds are penetrating anyway. Considering with our VERY basic ERA modelling in game, Relikt is actually underperforming at angles like on the UFP.

This means that you indeed need 550+ pen, but in armor analysis it’s gonna show you 433 mm value when using long rod APFSDS. For example, you can verify it via Obj.292, which has same layout as T-80U/BVM, but no ERA. Base protection - 233/68 = ~621, armor analysis value = ~488

fr i feel this is the biggest problem, a more in depth ERA system would be nice, instead of it just being a lump of extra armour
