This thing is way op at its current BR. Yesterday i saw at least 6 or 7 in one battle …

It surely is better off against 9.7s than our 7.3s are against T58. HESH hitting tracks and nuking things will work against majority of tanks and even if you miss, doing a follow-up shot is incredibly easy due to amazing reload.
And with better optics and gun handling.
Full stabilization alone would make Leopard 1 a solid 8.3. Now add all the advantages of Turm III and you’ll realize it’s easily a 8.7 vehicle.
Again, it’s easily on par if not better than T-62, which already is at 8.7.
And tanks without that can’t be too strong for their BR.

If armor was as impactful if you are making it out to be than high/top tier balance would look a lot different than it was in reality lol.

Nobody said otherwise…
I’m sure the weisel, Luchs, zsu, and is-3 thank you for you looking out for them. 7.3 is incredibly bare in terms of vehicles.
Well yeah, better vehicles go higher in br (usually). The t-62 is a very different tank firing apfsds and actual armour of course (although cursed by a longer reload). Tbh, I’d have no objection to the turm going to 8.7, however even given its advantages over the leopard I it’s still not as dominant as the bmpt.
It’s also interesting no one ever complains about the vickers mk1, which is also decently mobile, fires the a excellent apds round, is fully stabilised and also features a 5 second reload (with aced crew)
Lmao, this one is so silly I’m actually speechless.

I was referring to this
It should be 8.7 with apds or 9.0 with DM23 dart
I read that as moving it up after giving it apds.
?
What is wrong about it?
The t-62 has better armour and fires apfsds from a 115mm gun, lol.
Is it a good tank? No, it’s utter crap lol but it has some compensation for its br placement.
You said “it has actual armor” while almost the entire hull and a sizable part of the turret is a lolpen for most MBTs at the same BR.
Context matters.
It has good armour for its br, and far better armour than the turm 3.
Of course it’s not covered in composite or era and is just rha. It helps for marginal shots etc. doesn’t make it a good tank, but it’s not untrue.

People also wanted 2S38 to go to those BR (rightfully so), but as you may know, why would gaijin gut their cash cow? Destroying a BR bracket with a cancer vehicle is the least of their concern if the vehicle is making them a lot of money. And this time wont be the last.
I also want to point out that the Terminator being .3 BR higher than bradley is funny. I have said many times before but I wanna say it again: Bring the Bradley down to 9.3 please, its so overtiered. They need to fire the guy who is handling the balancing department. They Clearly dont play their own game.

Not really since almost everything with main cannon can pretty much lolpen it at 8.3, except for on some spots on the turret cheeks. The armor is only good against some autocannons.
If the T-62 has good armor for it’s BR than by your own standards the Abrams tanks also have good armor for their BR.
The turret cheeks to the left or right of the barrels. But even then it can blowout and the crew is safe or the dart passes through without doing any damage or making the belt yellow. Gaijin already “fixed” the “bug” where shooting the missile doesn’t kill it. You’re just cooked in this situation unfortunately. Do what the other guys are saying to flank it or go BEHIND IT. 9000 IQ move and you’re just a bad player. Proceeds to look up your stats. (Im being satirical for any idiot reading this comment)
Of course it can be penned, that is exactly why the move to composite came about. The chieftain mk3/5 are in exactly the same boat with fairly thick armour but it’s rha.
It has good armour for its br, meaning the armour, while not amazing, is still far better than most other things at the same br which helps with marginal penetrations etc.

I will have to remind you that a lot of those people, also own the 2S38. As long as you have that thing in your account anything you said about it being cash cow is irrelevant. They are directly contributing to the problem itself , Gaijinknow this and they will keep the thing as 10.3 as long as those same people keep spamming and buying the thing
But it truth nuke , wdym. It is , extremely well armored at the front. Assuming you can actually hit the tiny weakspot, sure it die or well , have the chance to lol. Not high but it is possible. The side is no brainer cause spalliner. The only place you could kill it effectively is the back
Gotta give the local homie who love to play the BMPT a few backshot maybe he will go and play actual balance vehicle.

Today I learned that gaijin manage vehicles br based on if someone was mean on the forums. Lmao.
The 2s28 is fine now. It most certainly wasn’t fine when the thing was an empty box with no internals, along with ammo modelled to be absolutely tiny. It was a menace previously.
My Puma has 10.3 BR too. Ppl don’t need to flank at all. Just one gun, just 3 crew, no liners, no anti kinetic armor, low fire rate, no ATGM. ATGM storage tubes kill the vehicle when hit.
Really wounder who cooks BRs at Gajin. Its a T-90 and more…
