CT-CV on 10.0
Boxer just better or something
DoA, 7.5s reload time seriously??? Also good job nerfing a f****ing event vehicle that’s played by 10 people. Ffs.
Since Gaijin is so concerned with historical accuracy can we have the HISTORICAL 3.4s reload for type-10? Ooooohhhh now you suddenly don’t care about historical accuracy but “BaLaNcE”.

yup. pretty pointless addition when everything outreloads you + they added only 1 vehicle at that BR so you can swiftly OneDeathLeave

Safe speed and maximum speed is 2 different metrics. Plus the 3105 never was stated to fire as fast as it did.
Type 10 reload speed of ~3.2 seconds is the fastest sustained reload. The loading arm still loads the shell in the regular 2s, with the added time being for recoil, setting the gun to and from loading position and cycling the next round and dropping it onto the loading arm.
From what I could find aside from a 1.2s reload (which is more likely a cancelled reload than a faster one) and ~2.2s reload (still loaded the shell in the regular time, just with the next shell dropped onto the loader before firing) there is nothing faster for the tank, no separate maximum speed or fast reload testing is known.

Yes I was quite excited for it, thinking it would come with the same 5s cockerill turret that I grew to love on my Boxer MGS… then I realized that they went ahead and not just spoiled the dream of a solid option at 10.x in the Japanese tech tree, but also one of the two things that made the Boxer MGS viable. I really loved to bring that one out together with the Vilkas, to have to wonderful Boxer wheely boys duo. Now there is no way I would dare to bring it out at 10.3 let alone bringing it to 10.7… I feel like 6.7s reload and 10.0 might be justified, things is as easy to find as a barn in Saskatchewan.
Also the little tiger would have made a perfect Indonesian companion for the Hawk 209 that became recently competitive after not finally received the additional two AGM’s. I would have picked that up, now I see no valid reason, especially as it may just end up at 9.7 anyhow. The stingray can at least bounce the odd shell and hide behind some rocks…

would be funny if you could activate max speed and after 2 shots the whole autoloader fails… (there is a reason) Gaijin can also re-set the speed to 5.5 seconds if it needs a boost its not a true system lock so it stays historical.
So after 92 matches i’ve realized that Harimau is not good at all.
My thoughts are next:
Mobility/ it drives like a MBT it has no good acceleretion nor reverse (like smashing W would help) it’s not agile at all. Stingray otherhand is excellent mobility light tank. It doesn’t matter what terrain you are driving Type 16 drives better so idk how about the “sidegrade tracked light tank” for it. Lastly it suffers the Type 10 syndrome when you slightly steer left/right you bleed so much speed. Not to mention other nation MBT’s and light tanks are faster than Harimau. (mobility full spaded). AND IT MAKES CLUNKY NOISES ALL THE TIME???like the tracks are falling off or smth
Reload is lowkey bad. the amount of times that 5s would have saved my ass is immaculate…
If they would give the 5s i would see some likeability to that tank…
Survivability is pretty much nonexistential so mostly you die in one shot. I’ve had only 3 occasions when my turret did his RNG but hull does nothing.
Only positive side i can see is horizontal turret traverse and thats about it.
Overall this would be the tank i would put up on to the shelves to collect dust. Even if it gets somewhat lineup i can’t be bothered to drive it. Not even positive k/d with after all this…

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)
