Could the RU251 go back to 7.0?

??? its a real nice platform idk how you got to this conclusion, if you want bad try the Ratel with the same turret

Both are very unstable

Well the ratel is over a full br lower, where you barely see any stibilized tanks, so it is less of an issue, and on my experience it’s actually more stable.

doesnt change that the Ratel platform would still be bad at 5.3 as far as mobility and gun handling go.

Ive found the Eland stable enough to fire while moving quite fast a few times

the ratel 90 is still quite good at 6.3, much better than the eland at 7.7, and with the eland you keep having the same gun handling issues, but arugably worse as at these br other tanks will have much better gun handling than you.

that is only because (like the jewish sherman) it has a shell which negates ALL armour at the BR ruining the armour meta at the BR so you just don’t need to aim too hard ever.

I don’t appreciate HEAT shells of such raw power being able to shoot a panther in the face

I think it would be fine at 7.0. It’s comparable to the French ELC Bis, which actually does alot of things better (aside from having the ability to scout because Gaijin). Not to mention that it has that crappy high velocity shell that is really lacking in post-pen damage unlike the HEAT-FS of the ELC Bis for example.

Ah, yes, good ol’ BR compression. It’s sad how most tanks are nothing but paper, although I must say the Israeli Sherman is quite mediocre in uptiers (from what I’ve heard). Still, being able to yolo pen everything is bs.

Not really, the ELC is abysmal, and I’d say not as mobile as the Ru 251. It also can’t rotate the turret fully, and having only 2 crew members is unfortunate. Yet again, having a HEAT-FS at 6.0 is ridiculous.
