It has about the same acceleration as the TTD that is an MBT.
Imo it’s not fast.
According to the wiki, its faster than a lot of IFVs at the same BR, but it doesnt feel like it in game, so I dont know if the Wiki is wrong or something else is going on. But it coudl just be that it has a higher top speed, but god aweful acceleration
top speed is good yes, but how often do you use the light tanks top speed (especially if the acceleration is bad)? x)
The strv 9040 BILL for example has the same engine HP but is 6 tons lighter so has ~23hp/ton (compared to 19hp/ton) and it has 5km/h less top speed.
Yep, that’ll be it then.
Yeah, I’m not a fan either. I haven’t unlocked APFSDS on it yet, which might be skewing my view of it, but it just feels so anaemic. On paper it’s very similar to the Dardo though, and I hardly hear anyone complain about that, so not sure what’s up with the Desert Warrior.
Even then, you probably arent going to be killing anything other than other light tanks with those shells. At least I never bothered firing at an MBT with them
DW is a bit less mobile and fires much more slowly.
If Dardo is at 10.0, I’d say DW could go to 9.7 without a problem.
dardo has a chainsaw of a cannon though
Wait wtf yeah, 560 rpm vs 200
Never-mind then, DW should be 9.7.

maybe if the TOW-2B wasn’t so bad i can see it being at 10.0.
it really is terrible

Id quite like to see some kind of limitation made on the available TOWs and dropped down to like 9.0. Would actually be useful for the tree at that BR.

Just checked with the again and the kills per death is below the M3A3 by a small margin and the kills per spawn difference is huge
I like the Desert Warrior so far, it’s on-par to all other 10.0s, and obviously superior to all 9.7 IFVs in the game.
I haven’t gotten many games in it yet, but it’s getting there.
TOW-2A and APFSDS are the reasons it’s 10.0, not the B.
it would still be total cheeks at 9.0 tbh.
good missiles for the BR but everything else is pathetic as hell, honestly the standard warrior is a better choice

If you play it around the TOW-2B and use them to kill enemies behind cover it can be useful, lowering it’s br wont do much since the autocannon would still suck and ATGM flaws of not being able to fire on the move or fire from behind cover would still be there. It’s a gimmick vehicle, use is as such.

regular tow 2 and apds at 9.0
deal?
APDSFS does so little damage that I dont think it should lose that (Weaker than stuff like the Badger) but yeah, Regular TOW2s probably weak enough for 9.0
nothing else has a combination of good enough atgms and apfsds at that br
dont forget the excellent thermals and ok mobility

I don’t really think playing one match in a vehicle gives you enough insight into how it performs on average.

BMP-3 at 9.3 isnt that far off. so it could go there.
