No, not at first, but I think its going to be the same as when Fox initially came into being, when the majority thought it would be rather meh because “RARDEN bad lol”. People will soon realise “oh, this is actually a really good vehicle when used properly”. also 100% gaijin will put its br as silly low causing upset.

A) Higher fire rate helps get through shell shattering.
B) Higher fire rate helps assure destruction of barrels and tracks
C) Higher fire rate makes it easier to engage air targets.
If I need to explain this to you, you have no place commenting on this stuff. It isn’t hard to grasp. The lower pen matters much less given you’ve the ability to effectively cripple the targets before going to the side and killing it. Or you’ve got the fire rate to shred targets more effectively if you start on the side on account of being able to fire through shells shattering.

3.3, and im not even kidding when i say this. The 2pdr apds will have the dispersion of the russian 30mm irl (basically a shotgun). Its apds would be an early british apds which shatters on basically anything that inst flat. 4.0 perhaps but it really wouldnt be all that broken as 2pdr apds really wont be doing much damage at all and would require multiple shots to kill anything, meaning the 3 second reload wouldnt actually be as good as you think. It would still be alot of fun as it would still get a squeeze bore solid shot to use but it really wont be all that high.

Trying to compare a btr with whats basically a crueless turret and a fast firing 30mm to the warrior is not even worth the arguement. The btr is perfectly capable at its br to flank targets and get kills, the problem is people who use the fox are smarter on average. Its not hard to get into good positions.

Yeah, and I’m fully aware of that.
It’s this muppet who ain’t.
meant the fox lol, but yeah. No idea why this guy has such a massive rage boner for the fox. The xm800 is more effective than it and you dont see nearly as much hate for that thing as compared to the fox.

XM800 with a stabiliser and high fire rate that means it can reliably cripple barrels and tracks whilst moving but it is fox that is the issue.
Because its always the big nation mains that believe everything they dont have is broken beyond belief. So when a relevant vehicle gets added to a minor nation once in a blue moon, more good players are going to use it since minor natiion players are generally higher skilled.
I have like a 65% win rate in the Conq and the conq has 500mm of pen so by that logic it should be 9.7 right? When compared to my win rate in the M103 or Maus, it clearly shows how much better the Conq is therefor it must be easy to play and blatantly overpowered.

This round is so unreliable I unironically run mostly hesh. It is also inconsistent, but in my experience it is significantly more consistent than the sabot.

Now just replace 500mm with RARDEN’s pen and Conq with Fox.

Yeah. Shell shatters are constant on fox. I assume the same with xm800, based on statements from my mates. But then it also fires an order of magnitude (and then some) faster, so it matters less.
A. Rarden is clearly more accurate and on the move the fox is a very stable platform.
B. Shells rarely shattered for me in the Fox
C. I had no problem 1 tapping several aircraft out of the sky. (F9F, A2D, Me262)
In the BTR, as an example, you pretty much have to be still for the gun to be level.
So although it has a higher fire rate, its closest in resemblance vehicle cannot content on the same parameters as you believe. Also, barrel snipes aren’t always the most effective thing. I’ve hit a barrel many times with both the Rarden and 2a72 and it takes 7-10 hits most of the time to break an enemy barrel.
Hmm. Odd, because my BTR kdr isn’t nearly 2.0,
Yet my fox Kdr is 2.2
Care to explain?
Because the Fox has the speed to get to good position, allowing you more opportunities then what you wouldn’t get with the BTR.
Uh Huh. RARDEN is looking pretty stable to me.
(And before you use this video as evidence for the Fox being faster, I messed up crossing the water with XM800. XM started from a slower speed.)
I wonder what shell will be better for killing airplanes???
Because Gaijin has increased Barrel health to prevent barrel break meta

Keep in mind, they highlight the number of hits.
Whilst completely neglecting the fire rate difference. Oh, and accuracy.
Rarden isn’t even stable on warrior. It’s an improvement from rarden on fox, in my experience, but not that great.

Clearly evident from the video, the Fox is a very stable platform giving it the same stability as the XM800 while on the move.
Just look how quickly it took to track the tank I was shooting. It is so stable and overpowered.

I refuse the play the warrior as I detest IFVs but I would assume thats it stems from the fact the warrior is slower and innately going to be slightly more stable and its tracked.

But it isn’t good.
