People refuse to realise the Rarden gun is as powerful as a GAU-8 but firing APDS.
top speed and turret are gimped to sop people crying too hard while they use XM800T and 2s38

When people keep on talking about that thing, I started to believe it exists bro, because trust and social bonding are fundamental to human relationships bro, but all these years I was expecting it to have that Stalinium or bias but almost always end up in disappointment.
Maybe I shouldn’t trust people anymore man I am done being betrayed!
Spoiler
The RARDEN definitely isn’t as powerful as GAU-8, but it has the advantage in some scenarios. Calling it outright “as powerful” is merely a conjecture. I do love the fox though, lol
RARDEN Autocannon
- Caliber: 30mm
- Rate of Fire: 90 rounds per minute (manually loaded magazine)
- Feed System: Three-round clips (manual loading)
- Primary Use: Mounted on armored vehicles like the FV510 Warrior and Scimitar reconnaissance vehicles
- Advantages: High muzzle velocity, effective against lightly armored targets, simple and reliable design
- Limitations: Low rate of fire due to manual loading, limited ammunition capacity
GAU-8 Avenger
- Caliber: 30mm
- Rate of Fire: Up to 3,900 rounds per minute
- Feed System: Linkless feed system with a massive ammunition drum
- Primary Use: Mounted on the A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft for close air support
- Advantages: Extreme rate of fire, devastating firepower against armored targets, highly effective in air-to-ground combat
- Limitations: Heavy and complex system, requires hydraulic power to operate
Comparison
- The RARDEN is designed for ground combat, primarily engaging enemy vehicles and infantry with precision.
- The GAU-8 Avenger, on the other hand, is an aircraft-mounted weapon, optimized for high-speed strafing runs against armored targets.
- The GAU-8 Avenger has a significantly higher rate of fire, making it far more destructive in short bursts.
- The RARDEN is simpler and more reliable for ground vehicles but lacks the sheer firepower of the GAU-8 Avenger.

Not gonna lie mate, the object 140 is probably the worst tank to use as an example xD things a fantastic tank.
The issue is all auto cannons find pixel weak points and scyth clean through the higher the pen? the bigger the point itll go through.
I had an XM800T machine gun me to death frontally in the amx30 super, shouldn’t be possible at all

The first day I got it I actually acknowledge the capula weakness because a few games I got pop by Gepards frontally, funnily it actually got overpressure by the 35mm should it go through looool
Some other part of this tank are slightly better armored than the T-55s and T-62s but it has that American m60 capula weaknesses, shoot the dome with anything you will nuke the crews, especially the left side you will kill two crews!
meanwhile XM800 can fire that much downrange it pixel hunts MBTs a full BR above it and kills them.
Total radio silence on teh forums.
Though I did sling a clip over to show how the amx30 Super is pennable frontally with a 20mm (which its specifically designed to combat…) especially on the mantlet

Is this post fr
the 140 is one of the best 8.3s int eh game man TBH
mans baiting like mad xD has a near 5/1 KD with the 140 :) if u know u know
British bias is as fake as Russian bias.
They have a bunch of good stuffs, Fox, Falcon, Chieftain Mk10, Rooikat MTTD, Olifant Mk2, FV4030 before it got moved, these things when played properly they are super broken lol I am not gaslighting I have the stats to back up my claims. I weren’t very sure what happened up there as I’m just contemplating on getting the TDD, and note that at 10.3 they have like four SPAAs, FOUR
hey hey hey hey it can go higher if it has Stalinium! I mean when you got 5, the next stop is 10 KDR bro remember that the sky is the limit, if you are a millionaire, don’t stop until you become a billionaire bro

The Chieftains have incorrect armours.
have the wrong engines
Mk5 has no L15A5 (modelled properly)
Mk5 has no laser range finder (first tank to ever mount one)
On top of that the FV4030, is missing access to : Smoke round, Hollow charge (HEAT-FS), and has incorrectly got L15A5 C&P, im actually unsure if it could even fire the L23 round.
On top of that its armour was proven to be modelled incorrectly and is yet to even be seen the report.
ontop of all that, the shir 2 now sits at 10.0, where it faces off against 11.0s regularly, with an anemic 9.0 round.
The T55M at 9.0 has a more reliable round than the L23, it struggles massively even with 10.7 tanks.
Would be nice if we had gotten the roof MG it can mount xD
Fun tank for the one or two games ive had in it

Yeah, but that doesn’t account for the true nature of the GAU-8. GAU-8 is meant to unleash 65 rounds a second, while the fox only shoots out a single round per .9 seconds (pretty sure it’s .9 correct me if I’m wrong). Comparing them just by a single shot is like relying on the stat-card of a vehicle–it doesn’t consider every possible factor
Cartridge is slightly shorter than 30x173 on GAU-8 and Bushmaster 2
Edit: scrolled down farther and the volume of propellant looks to be about the same since RARDEN is slightly wider too
You do realise that you can cupola tanks of every nation and russia is one of the hardest to cupola because they have more armour, are smaller and better angled?
You are complaining about a weakspot being penned

I mean you can overpressure MBTs from underneath with SPAA or even pixel hunt with fast firing auto cannons.
Not gonna muck about with nations, every single auto cannon / extremely fast firing gun in this game needs reviewed again,

hey hey hey don’t be that reddit guy who says 1.0-11.7 is lowtier and 12.0 is top tier, if we put the br numbers in our clock, 8:15 pm is not morning anymore, if anything it is in the high tier territory bro.
What do you think about 8.7-9.0 SPAAs? M247, PGZ09 vs the Shilkas? they are clearly not equal, USA definitely has their anti-air bias in certain brs.
