I already have my decoration slots filled though, all 4 Anime Pillows on the back, the Hussar’s helmet because I am just that Dashing, and the psycho killer mask on the lens cover hatch.
Normally I’d say skill issue, but this is really more of a taste issue.
Its a tactical decision. Players see anime pillows and either don’t care (tactically neutral) or get annoyed, annoyed players play worse, tactical advantage. Besides if they aim for the pillows they aim away from my crew.
Marder APC is also a decent counter, you just need to keep front towards him, and spray the instant he pops up. Turm 3 also counters a Fox if you have good situational awareness.
With quick reflexes, anything with okay front armor and a top mounted HMG can knock a fox rush out too. Swap to HMG and aim for his turret. The hull is super trolly, but the turret is paper and reliably penetrated by 25 to 30mm penetration ammo.
Then yeah, sure, if you solely look at its shell pen, its better than any other tank in game (though until you start looking at better IFVs with better guns with better shell pen)
TLDR, its a bit better in some respect that equivalent IFVs like the XM800, but barely.
Please provide a single reason it should move up other than “it can kill me when it shoots me in the back when im not looking” like every other tank in the game can.
Con:
•no stab
• (nobody has thermals at 7.7 so that’s a irrelevant point)
• slow rounds per min. (Really not a flaw, learn to aim better, I actually found it to be rather stable while driving, and continuously firing.
Pros:
•tiny
•faster than everything at its own br while being stock
•very high turret traverse
•very high pen for an auto cannon
•great armor, apparently can live 105s according to my videos, in addition to .50 cal’s.
If anything, it’ll be 8.0 at most. 7.7 is fine, it (and similar tanks) just make playing any non autocannon lightly armoured vehicle miserable (AMLs, most french things, BMPs, and anything else without armour). This is mostly due to autocannons being flat out better in any 1v1 situation with another light tank.
