So I keep being told that the Falcon is an absolute beast, and that it’s almost unfair against others, that it can gun break a tank with ease allowing you flank and take it out, etc etc.
Yet somehow every T54/T55/Leopard 1A1/1A5 that I come across laughs off having the gun/breach break under a hail of fire (my record is 200ish rounds and absolutely no effect).
And yet… the XM800T even looks at any of my British level 5 mains and… bang no gun/gunner/tracks and probably a fire allowing the little goblin to get around the side of me.
Am I missing something? Is there some secret to knocking out barrels that shooting them isn’t enough? (And yes I have upgraded to the SABOT rounds - they work well enough on the Fox/Scimitar but they don’t seem to be able to barrel break either).
its still good. its just been powercrept into not being what it was
I ain’t breaking a Leopard 1s gun when the APDS can easily find ways to pen the actual tank from any angle. I don’t go barrel hunting in general with the Falcon. It’s small - can fit in nooks and crannies. Great for city maps in ambush situations. It’s a slow vehicle, so the whole break a gun and then flank-de-whoop is not it - to begin with, save that for the ZA-35. I play Britain 8.3 just for Falcon and ZT3.

At the very least It’s in the wrong BR rating (considering it’s the only Rank V 8.3… the next rank VI SPAA on the British line are also 8.3… but have radar guidance, better armour and full belts of APDS rounds (rather than 1 in 4).
With very limited ammo. Least Falcon gets a full belt with 1 in 4.
