Gotcha. I think the issue lies how they implemented it. I think I voted no in the polls. Don’t get me wrong, I want it but I want it for all the vehicles which is realistically not possible unless we wait 2-4 years.
Regardless, internal modules should represent it’s real life counterpart (or at least close to it).
My argument when the 2S38’s internal modules were added, they gave it a buff. When internal modules were added to the HSTVL, no subsequent buff was added that can improve it’s firepower.
At 10.3 majority of hellfire helicopters have terrible zoom and along with how terrible hellfire perform, it is usually fired below 5ish km. There are the Shturm from export hinds but it’s maximum range is 5km and the platform itself is like a bus. It is much easier to kill hellis at this br bracket than helis in top tier.
Majority of engagements occur when the enemy is not looking at you. This is because if the enemy hits you anywhere, your autoloader/breach will be taken out. The issue with CQC is once you’re spotted, it is hard to hide again because the enemy knows you’re out there. This doesn’t help the fact there could be multiple enemies. And again, the biggest issue with the hstvl is it’s round where it is very inconsistent
That being said, @Ion_Protogen made a good point that it’s personal preference.
