Any ignore facts. Fox is op, and schimiatr is going to be a slightly slower fox… seems pretty unbalanced. God forbid it was Russian, it would be an 8.7 already if not 9.0

The fox seems to be the best example as of late.

TL:DR,

The fox needs to go up in br. There is literally no argument against that at all, you can’t say X factor is bad.
Exceptional penetration
Exceptional speed
Exceptional turret traverse
Decent armor
Post penetration damage is like a 105mm for some reason.
It’s pretty much stabilized as I’ve shown, it really doesn’t bounce like the btr, is wayy closer to the xm-800 which went up in br, but hey the Brit’s get the ultimate 7.7 lineup.
France is next best, but let’s be honest people want ez kills so they’ll revert back to the fox.

It’s good fun really.

but yeah, I must admit the Russian hulls are a bit more tedious, partly because the bits of the side you can pen are a bit lower down (easily forgotten when the red mist descends hahah) but otherwise, they’re mostly fine.

It very definitely shouldn’t be

You are literally just on this forum to argue with people using the most uninformed pov. How you’ve not been banned yet is beyond me. Every single time i see you post something it’s an argument with another community member stating something that’s factually incorrect.

Scorpion soon then?

We can hope hah. Hopefully HESH gets some tweaks before it gets added so it isn’t completely useless, though I doubt it.

First off, at no point in that video does the Fox ever get shot in the side with .50 cals aside from at an angle. The Fox, when angled can and should easily defeat .50 cals.

The 105mm did not “fuse” because it was never actually fired, there is an ingame glitch where damaged guns when fired will produce a projectile even if they aren’t firing. This is just a visual bug, its not a Fox issue. if the shot was fired but did not fuse, it would still have done at least some damage, it didn’t. There is also no hit sound for the huge 105mm shell, as once again, it never actually registered.

So in these videos:

  1. The Fox resists .50 cals which is intended.

  2. The Fox takes a glancing shot and survives, which is expected.

  3. The Fox player breaks the T29’s barrel before he shoots so his shot dosen’t actually count, just a visual bug.

None of these are Fox specific issues.

The video of the Fox vs BTR shows both the BTR AND the Fox’s guns bouncing around all over the place when you go over a bump.

The Fox has excellent gun elevation speed (compared to the BTR), therefore it can correct its gun faster, hence why the “bouncing” is less noticeable. This is the case for any vehicle with better verticle targetting speed.

Fox vertical targetting speed: 30 degrees/s
BTR vertical targetting speed: 14 degrees/s

Its almost like vehicles with better gun handling have better gun handling?

The only thing wrong with the the Fox is the amount of drivel you have to grind to even get to it…So much crap you have to waste SL on.Not so with Russia.

Nobody should be forced to grind the Ratel 90 :)

it gets shat on but the Ratel 90 isn’t bad by any means, its perfectly serviceable even at 6.7, where I bring it out, just pray you don’t get a hilly map or a map covered in mud

ZSU-57-2 has a comparable turret traverse, I think that’s about it, it’s not as stable, isn’t as fast, and does to literal 7.62 machine guns. Pretty bad comparison on your part.

It doesn’t… but aight. Maybe the Brit’s should invent some APHE

Remind me, weren’t you the one bringing in false information, that you conjured up, to save your OP vehicle from going up in br?
