Harimau: Tiger, Tiger, Burning Bright

Yea no shit my guy. DoA.

Yeah. It’s not great. It’s ok at waiting and ambushing other players, but you can say that about most things. If Japan had a 10.7 lineup this would fit quite nicely. Hopefully there will be some 10.7 and 10.3 additions from subtrees to round this out. I guess you gotta start somewhere.

Probably worst reload time at 10.3, even worse than t72s.

It would have been ok if the turret didn’t get nerfed almost immediately. Although it was at least a realistic nerf.

Because this is Japan. We have a Leo 2A4 with decorative armor at 12.7

it’s the same turret with a different sheet metal skin (spaced armor).

And it sits at 10.3 with no lineup whatsoever, but hey, most if not all 9.7 & 9.3 vehicles are better than this sand crawler sized medium tank. As you said, dust collector after spaded, just like the Oplot-T.

The brs of the large caliber light tanks about this range are very inconsistent. For example compare the m10 to the vt5 then compare the harimau to the 2s25m, then look at sweeden. These vehicles are all over the place

Idk, I like the oplot-t way more then the type 10, too bad they botched the armor.

Can’t stand no depression, otherwise yeah, similar.

More armour then any German leopard btw. (Unless it’s been nerfed to 2a7V levels)

Don’t know why they would. As it is it’s already underperforming, or at least the side armor is. Despite using a heavier version of the AMAP-B side armor package than the Strv 122B+, in game somehow has less armor protection.

But the Leopard 2A7V should get its D-Tech composites, iirc it’s still just stuck with C-Tech in game. It’d also be nice to see a German version of the Leopard 2 Revolution, or even the Leopard 2 Technologieträger with AMAP-ADS that are more fully equipped than the current squadron Leopard 2PL (or 2RI for that matter).

You see it’s going to be another TVM or anything else :3 never added to Germany.

Revolution would just be 2RI with rosy

Yeah, also a better commanders sight, RWS and slat armor around the rear.
Though the 2RI does have a heavier armor kit, but even then there’s a demonstrator for this version that could also be added and also has slat armor the 2RI lacks. This was also sold to Singapore and used on later Leopard 2SG.

I really wish you weren’t right…

Harimau is just bad, lol.

  • 105mm that pen 430mm at 0m, 0°,
  • 7.5 sec reload
  • not a single lineup to backup, no tanks, no Heli, no good CAS
  • mobility is meh for 10.3
  • 2S25M is just better at 10.0.

Am I the only one thinking that ?

I totally agree. The Type 16 (P) is better too—even in 10.3+ battles—yet it sits at 9.3. Gun depression is its only weakness compared to the Harimau. I’ve had a better experience with the Type 16’s DM23 than with the Harimau’s DM63. Even the Gal Batash—also at 9.3—is slower, lol, but the same shell, faster reload, and ability to actually survive a hit here and there make it a better choice at that BR. The Sabra is a monster compared to that matchbox.
And they all have excellent lineups.
Everything is better than the Harimau.
They really butchered it.

Kinda reminds me of when the M4/T26 was added and they listed a key downside as lacking APCR . . . as if anyone would use it anyways.

They’re legit just typin random stuff to hit a word count.

It’s really just a 9.3 shell that you can find on the Olifant mk.2 and other, the reload is from 9.0, the light tank mobility is from 9.3-9.7, gun handling from 10.0+, that’s the reason it’s 10.3. No logic there.

If it’s moved to 10.0, they give the A-4 PTM it’s Mavericks bringing it at 9.7 or 10.0.

They could add at 10.0 the MD530G from Malaysia, that can carry APKWS as only guided weapons, gun pods, and classic rocket, the lineup could actually be enjoyable.

Yes the premium Hawk 209 would be the only viable CAS, though that would mean bringing it to 10.7. If it had 5second reload and a better dart, I would indeed be tempted to run that… but definitely not in its current state. If they want to keep it the way it is it’s gotta go to 9.7 to make it somewhat viable. And even there I would probably rather run the Stingray.
