You can stay with 30mm but 35 is a better round to keep with if you expect to see a lot of thicker targets, it has much more volume than 30mm and much more pen from the AP rounds. 35mm has more “bang for your buck” than 30mm on average

And the same can be said from 105 to 120, from 120 to 130/140
When both the French ASCALON and the German 130 are still in the prototyping phase with no in service vehicles, it’s a bit early to be this salty for no reason lol.
ASCALON, and the German made 130mm, are mostly in competition for the MGSC. Until any of them wins the deal (or MGSC collapses and new vehicles are dvelopped independently), what will stay remains to be seen.
Anyway, even if the 130mm becomes the standard, ASCALON should still be able to fire that caliber, with an option of upscaling to 140 if necessary, so I am not afraid for the project

Missed the news germany is officialy developing a new im service tank as an inbetween with 130mm cannon until the mgcs is finished didnt you.
Germany has already contracted to put it into service. Leo 2AX /Leo 3 name yet to be decided
Italy/hungary and i think uk with chally 3 all retain the ability to upgrade tp 130mm as well

You are comparing the wrong things to argue with. 105 has shown that it still does work but it is too hard to make a continuously better shell so 120mm was used, same with the change to 130mm or 140mm.
What I’m saying is that 30mm AP has reached it end of being able to be effective at the same cost that a 35mm AP round will have, but for most militaries this seems region specific

Take them 10 years after everyone else has upgraded to upgrade themselves
And yet none of them are anywhere close to getting in service 130mm anytime soon :/.
Germany, to be precise rheinmetal is developing a tank with 130mm. Potentially as a last upgrade path or if the MGCS falls apart (which is possible.
As for Italy and Hungary, maybe they will use 130. Maybe not. Just for reference the Leclerc was initially developed wu to the idea of upgrading it to a 140mm cannon if necessary, which obviously did not happen (and explains the ungodly large and quite unprotected mantlet and why they did not keep the 20mm coaxial, as it would have taken too much space to add a 140 later down the line).
Rheinmetal is obviously trying to get its 130mm in service as soon as possible while ASCALON is still in development from KNDS (which I remind you is half German as well), as to make sure as to have the 130mm as the NATO standard. Because ASCALON is mainly for the 140mm, which rheinmetal does not aim to do, they’d be in trouble if it became the standard, while ASCALON can still retrofit to the 130mm.
No buddy, KNDS germany is. Officialy partitioned and contracted by the german govermant. Its supposed to get MUSS 2.0 as well.
Its not a standalone rheinmetall project
MGCS is far in the future and this will replace 2a8s until then.

Playing the CR2 again and have to say L27A1 feels awful. Like barely deals with the spam of T-80UEs
Just a pretty miserable time right now
Really? Is it a nerf or something? I’m not sure as the last I play with a CR2 was 2.5 months ago and the last I played WT was almost 2 months ago, so I’m not sure if there have been changes

Just feels really bad. It likely hasn’t changed,
bouncing when it shouldn’t not spalling as much, yellowed a T-80s track with a direct hit.
Not going through and killing T series tank with the driver hatch shot…
Just a rough time right now :(
looks likes a leopard with T-90M shape hull

I’m hoping after the next BR change that 11.7 will be a consistent downtier with anyone playing 12.0 also running CAS above 12.0 (especially 13.0 CAS) and so will be mostly dragged up.
That should leave things like the 2F, TES/OES and 3TD getting 10.7 matches quite often. Meaning none of the tanks the L27A1 seems to struggle to deal with and also no Pantsir to worry about it the Tonka Gr1.

That’s an issue between the chair and the keyboard unfortunately buddy.
The issue for the cr2s is not russian tanks it is the leopard 2a7s and the strv122s cruising around.
And yhen theyll go up in br for having a better score 😭
Ngl i want that olifant
There is an element of that.
Yes Leopards and Strv 122 are a real pain…
Takes so many shots to kill one
