It would be useless at 6.7. Any US tank would just .50cal it to death
And 3.3-3.7 sherman 75 hell would be better lol
All tiers has USA 12.7 on every tank that arguement is void the whole USA is just filled with 50.cals

It will be bad no matter the BR cause its on bad platform. Its slow and sluggish,no armor best armor works when you have mobility
Its pretty darn agile when you have it spaded and full drivers ability lol.
I am missing only engine on mine,and the mobility still feels very mediocre.
For context you are inserting this vehicle into “Sherman 75 hell” Where each nation has a 3.3-3.7 sherman or a M10 GMC
Its already there. 3.7 downtiers or 4.7 uptiers
Then why feel the need to insert it even deeper having a long reload and no armour will kill this thing more than it currently kinda is
Some things in the game are dead and borderline unplayable. Thats how it is. Like Type 60 ATM,which suffers from map design as it needs few hundred meters for the missile to start descending. Or some other vehicles that are rarely seen like Firebrand or Sea Fury from air.
Yeah this is literally just changing a tank that didn’t need change it shouldn’t have gone down even if it’s KD was bad it was fine were it was.

yea, EXCEPT for that tiny little issue of Gaijin just removing the HEATFS projectiles from it. If they REALLY REALLY REALLY want to put a Ikv 103 at 3.3 there is the Ikv 102 for that(except oh right…Gaijin hates the Swedish TT and so they cant get something that isnt completely baked, DoA, or copy paste…

This is why I posted the video above friend, did you watch it?
This is timestamped to the section where he talks about the Ikv 103.
“This vehicle started life at 5.7 BR” Brother, again, this is nothing new. Take a breather, watch this section to get a better overview of what is going on. You should really watch the entire video:
Gonna be honest I’ll never click a TEC video lol, I care not for slop tubers who show their bare ass on stream lmao.
Regardless it’s the nature of the vehicle that gaijin thinks reducing its BR is helping when it’s not. Gaijin could buff it’s reload as a way to help it since lowering its BR does nothing.

Valid? Brother I know all about the IKV I played it then lol
TEC isn’t really a good source for opinions either on the matter.
My point is the vehicle is fine where it’s at, it’s not just about sending it down, the vehicle is just a meh vehicle its gun can occasionally pull some wonk stuff and I’m fine with that. I love it because it’s terrible it’s a silly vehicle that can occasionally pull some crazy shots to an enemy whose unsuspecting.
My issue isn’t just accuracy to realism but gameplay. This change reminds me of the Draken flight model nerf where the aircraft would prevent you from rolling when below 600kph because so many noobs were buying the Prem draken and crashing from low speed maneuvers.
The vehicle shouldn’t change because of bad players, that’s type of change just ruins a unique vehicle for the noobs to further still not understand.
I’m sorry but you’re childish for coming in here and getting upset over our opinions of a vehicle you don’t care about. yes I get some people are crazy about the vehicle but in the end it’s because we like the vehicle. We like the game despite how much we say we hate it. We give criticism because we want it to be better and this change does not make it better.

and that doesnt currently happen already?
you cant really argue going up would be bad when the thing youre worried about happening, is already happening.
Currently there are 6 shermans at 3.3-3.7 across all nations and they use the short 75mm with a fast reload and they will absolutely devistate the Ikv 103 more than it already gets with the 76mm and british 17-pounder shermans and soviet 57 & 85mm T-34s and KV-85 etc.
Its performance will always be sub optimal with the current map designs and relying on open fields/CQB maps. And “noobs” that doesent know how to use the vehicle will always get stomped. But it should really be put at 5.7 - 6.0 where it can be used to knock out slower, heavier tanks with bigger guns.
Yes it was 5.0 - 5.7? When it first was added but with how much br changes has been made since then to mid tier i think it deserves another shot. It overpressures M18 Hellcats and the like vehicles so i say why not

It’s admittedly a very situational round compared to the HEAT-FS, but that’s no reason to not add it. It has novelty, and makes the Ikv 103’s ammunition selection a little more interesting.
