It should be fine at 8.0, more things have less armor than at 7.7 where the majority of nations have heavies.

But its not, thats the thing. It messes up the whole USA 7.7 lineup
So? What about the RCV on Japan? The RCV can only play with 7.3 vehicles and nothing else is 7.7, or you have to play 8.3 again, thisnisnt an exclusive problem to the US. The vehicle was doing insanely well compared to stuff like the RCV so if gaijin sees its not doing well it may move down in about 6 months when they do BR changes.

Fox is more mobile on paved maps, and the gun is incredibly good in terms of penetration for a 30mm autocannon at 7.7. Fire rate is slow but so are reaction times at this BR due to slow turret traverse and lack of stabilizers.
I don’t want to be Captain Obvious but being anyways. It was a matter of time, it’s a very effective vehicle against light armored vehicles and annoying enough for heavily armored vehicles. Unfortunately Gaijin doesn’t make BR changes based on if there’s lineup or not. The finnish ZSU-57-2 and the swedish Strv m/42 Delat Torn are good examples.
Compared with similar vehicles, the Wiesel 1A4, the FV721, the Type 87 RCV (P) are relatively inferior, but at the same time between the most ‘rat’ vehicles in War Thunder but compared with the XM 800T are barely nothing. I’d stick with the stabilized and higher mobility of the XM 800T at 8.0 than any other counterpart.
To be honest, it’s most a taste thing but XM 800T can still performs very well at 8.0. Lower it to 7.7 and bring the Type 87 RCV to 8.7, everyone’s happy.

the XM is almost as fast in turret traverse with full stab, it being in the same match as the scimitar and fox is only balanced by USA mains being on average worse than brit mains
Post invalidated, he mentioned sweden /s
Honestly the type 87 rcv (p) imo works better in the 8.x bracket when fighting germany because of the light armor vehicles, also the 9.0 rcv is amazing but not having a stabilizer definitely sucks, id say quite a few ifvs at 9.0-9.3 are really mid, i love the RCV though on my 9.3 lineup and i still keep the (p) because its fun to hunt down ifvs if i know the enemy has some.

hehe, Leopard 2 Marskman go brrrrrrrrrt
But it can go up against 9.0 and by that point it is outclassed
Same with all 8.0 vehicles. Have you ever tried fighting 9.0 tanks in a Centurion? If you haven’t, let me tell you, it’s not fun.
So? I play the worse version of the XM800T at 9.3 so thats a skill issue then sorry.
Type 16 (p) is 9.3, Type 87 RCV(p) is 7.7 its still on my 9.3 lineup sunce i know when and how to play it. If hapan had a bigger 8.x lineup i would play it but they dont.
Maybe you should try bushes, most people who cant use vehicles need to use bushes, idc personally. If my vehicle isnt dapper then i dont want to play it.
If you cant play a vehicle consistently try to learn what you can fight and whether the uptier is worth it. Sure ill spawn in at 10.3 uptiers but there are way more amored vehicles than that of 8.x or 9.3, if you cant play there maybe you should just wait until you get a full downtier. Again idk what to say, the XM800T is a very strong vehicle thanks to its small size, mobility, RPM, and mag size, all of that us vastly superior to all other 20mm users of the same rounds.
