Tiny vehicle can outmaneuver behemoth
Sweden? They also suffer because of too small size of ammo ready rack&too slow speed for filling ammo ready rack.
Or they also have slow RPM of automatic cannon- CV9030FIN, CV9035DK.
they did A LOT when came out at 7.0
9040C, 9040 … Bill ? And lvkv 9040 ( spaa i don’t really know names ) are damn great ( most of the time ). At that br you have Bradley, dardo, dardo vc, the new warrior, the Japanese dardo ? Pretty much all useless with thermal 1 and 116 max pen.
My brain erase some stuff but basically its something like that
I got this today. The only change I want is the default color, like the previous warrior ;)
Have you tried a stock XM800T? Complete garbage. Yes it’s fast. But it’s kind of “sluggish fast”. The gun can’t pen shit (the only things I can deal with are italian cars and 906s) without APDS and there are tanks almost as fast as you and the only thing you can do that gives actual rewards, capping, is a lot of times impossible before a fast medium you have no hope of ever hurting will get to your position and kill you.
APDS is a tier 4 mod btw.

Well, feels like the “suffer” was too radical expression for Swedish vehicles with 40mm main gun. Sorry.
But “Bradley, dardo, dardo vc, the new warrior, the Japanese dardo” have ATGM.
And 9040 Bill? I didn’t ride that vehicle, but I also know it has ATGM with good automatic cannon- so you may say it is OP.
Im quite disappointed in desert warrior, i really enjoy normal warrior and fox, and fox gave my first nuke and then few more, i used it with my 8.3 line up and brits play alot against german tanks at 8.3 = 9.3 and they are very easy to destroy, xm800t at 8.3 not stock is also amazing.
So after fun with xm800t i went research desert warrior.
Stock desert warrior is tragic, but i was telling myself with unlocked rockets and better main gun ammo it will be better, it wasnt.
After spading DW it wasnt tragic anymore, it was bad, with max uptiers with my 10.3 line up, and i saw barely anyone else was playing desert warrior, days without seeing anyone else.
You cant play it as rat like xm800t or fox.
Its too slow to get fast to good position, surviving anything is miracle.
Zoom on main gun at this tier is tragic, main gun, i cant penetrate most things im playing against even from side or turret side and they were close and in perfect angle , if i damage transmission or engine its also miracle. Maybe i can destroy enemy barrel before he turns his turret to me (laughing hard).
And now i read that on dev server he had better main gun ammo.
And im only using it in 10.3 cuz there is no scout vehicle at 10.0-10.3. im even using VFM5 9.3 light tank so i can scout stuff at 10.3+ and i had waaaaaay more success with VFM5 at 10.3+.

Probably my biggest issue with the desert warrior is the horrific state of the armour protection on it - why is the 150mm of composite on the LFP weaker than the 70mm composite screens on the UFP and sides? Not to mention that the composite screens on the side fall off whenever they’re shot for whatever ridiculous reason.
I cant believe how slow it is, has the same HP as the warrior, presumably the same gearbox and the same armour even weighs similar 4t difference. Yet even upgraded it doesn’t turn, it struggles up hills and you cant flank because you are so slow!
Does anyone know if there are bug reports with the transmission? Did they really have to boot Britain right in the bollocks with every near top tier vehicle we get?
Is the Desert Warrior not British?
British designed/built, exported to the only user of it, Kuwait, which has it designated as the Fahris IFV.

he is British, but it was to understand that Italy and the British have common problems and to underline even if he has a good rate of fire the Italian counterpart can still do little about it (perforation)
Here the corpse was kicked
- Desert Warrior — the gun depression and elevation angles have been changed from -8/60 to -7/59 degrees.
I mean if its realistic then fine. It’s already a pretty terrible vehicle. I cant believe a light Recce/IFV has optics as bad as that in game. Have there been any changes to TOW-2A or B?
I agree completely. Just grinded it, I find it really bad. Yea I did not take the latest apfsds, but I really struggle with it. It is really badly slow. Big. Gun is useless, you do not pen almost anything. The rate of fire is so slow that you cannot even destroy enemy barrels before they wipe you away. Tows have a big drop, so you must be veru careful not to lose them on the ground. I am really disappointed, I prefet to use my premium Rooikat at 10.7 BR because I feel better with that.

It has all the negatives of the Bradley and none of the pros.
ATGMs still need to be fired stationary, No air tracking IRST system, lower pen export APFSDS, no commander thermal site for hull down launches like the Bradley and it’s slower!
TOW-2B is still massively nerfed at this point they take 2-3 to kill an MBT and 1-2 to kill a light vehicle.
TOW-2A have a good pen but they are slow and again dont always pen ERA and angles. Making using them a massive liability.
25mm is anemic, with a lower pen dart, terrible spalling! Side armour for even a 2A4 can be problematic.
It’s just generally a really poor vehicle.

Yeah. It’s very annoying as they announced it with a much better dart then released it with what is has.
A better dart would help immensely.

I have never understood the “export” mentality. We have Desert Warrior with an export dart but the XM800t gets DM-63…an export APDS round it wouldn’t have used in US service…
Pick a lane Gaijin.

Gaijin are consistently inconsistent. The rules are more suggestions at this point sadly.

They are and if it’s a balancing decision give it the US dart and put it up the 0.3 BR higher…makes no difference you face the same tanks anyway!
