Which is a disadvantage to having both a gun and missiles. Vehicles with both are far more dangerous than vehicles with one or the other.
According to you.

Bro probably plays the AFT09/ZT3A2 like a regular light tank and wonders why it doesn’t work

I think its a good change of pace, a light tank with anti tank missiles…peek 🥲
You do realize that these tanks can’t always pick their engagement and the versatility of a gun with 900m/s shell velocity is extremely useful in dealing with light armor rushing you down?
Typical players who don’t bother to even touch ATGM only vehicles that don’t know about their weaknesses.
Keen for Object279 to have an IFV friend again
I use the ZT3A2 rather frequently and I’ve been using the Striker/Swingfire, M901 and ADATS (SAM as well, but still launcher only) every now and then as well.
Not having a gun really isn’t that deep. The ATGM only vehicles are missile snipers and the BTR-82AT is a regular APC with an added ATGM launcher.
The entire point of my original reply was to show that having the Kornet and thermals isn’t something that magically turns a vehicle into 12.3 material and the AFT09 and ZT3A2 are proof of that.

Yes, and if they had a gun their versatility would be improved significantly. Because missiles have to deal with gaijin’s bad missile guidance and spotty physics, while guns just work.
Which should be obvious when there are a grand total of zero vehicles at that BR that lack a dart slinging gun. The advantage the BTR-82A has relative to ZT3A2 and the other one is that it can do more than sit in a hole far away and punish bad players for being bad at driving.
Both can work just fine at top-tier all the same. AFT09 especially. Can’t say that about most other classes of vehicles around that BR. But yes, they’re fine at the BR they are. As will this BTR-82AT. Btw, AFT09 isn’t just some sniper. It is to be used close up. It eats rounds the ZT3A2 can only dream of surviving. While having a much more mobile chassis. Play it aggressively.

I wish Ger would get the 20mm armed Wiesel + TOW combo at 9.0 as well.
You might get that at 9.0 when Wiesel gets increased in size to a bus-sized level.

Thats probably why ASU-57 is just at 4.3 BR with 160mm pen?
What would you want here is to have a better BTR at the same BR, which is just usual Thodin take that has no connection to reality.

A TOW+20mm Wiesel would go to 10.0 or even 10.3 at least

It’s worse than BMP-3.

its not. its pretty close if not for the fact it has a 2nd gen thermals for both the cannon and the elevated kornet. which is of course much better than the gun launched on the bmp3.
For some reason they took the thermals from the elevated launcher.
BMP-3 also has 2nd or 3rd gen thermals and it can fire on the move.
It’s also more mobile and smaller.
