I don’t have a straight answer as to why. But i personally don’t think it matters. I’ll quote my reply and personal opinion to a similar question:
Edit:
If you’re interested; you are personally also performing better in the CV9040C compared to the 2S38:
Looking at my dong. The 2S38 is a premium vehicle who gets bought by beginners thus making the stats drop significantly. From what they actually are. Expecially since Russia is the most played nation making the stats highly inflated(in warzone if everyone is using a certain gun usually means is meta , and everyone plays the meta always in every game )
Russian bias as always
This:
So bottomline is that even though the 2S38 is better in every single way on paper, because of skill issues the 2S38 ends up in the same BR.
the issue lies not with the 2s38
I don’t think it’s that simple.
Even when i’ve looked at single users they tend to do badly in the 2S38 when they do better in other vehicles of similar BR. So i think there is more to it than just looking at paper stats.
I sadly don’t have any insight into exactly how balance is handled but i can see if i can find any official post about it.
Edit:
Here is an official post with a description of how they try to balance vehicles:
The 2S38 is one of the most overpowered vehicles I’ve played
Even just holding W you can get a decent amount of kills
This post only seems to talk about RB for air?
The first part under the category “Battle Ratings” seems to be universal.
While your amounts of battles are relatively low in many of the light tanks of that BR range you do indeed seem to do better in the 2S38. I’m not 100% but i think it’s the only exception i’ve personally seen. My personal experience is however anecdotal so doesn’t really mean anything.
No offense, but players from one of these countries just aren’t as good in general:
Thus, even discounting the inherent statistical differences between premium and researchable vehicles, a direct comparison of their K/D ratios is somewhat unreasonable.
Conjecture. You have to also think of the vehicles they face. If two identical vehicles on average face different opponents with different performing vehicles then those identical vehicles will also end up with different stats.
I don’t think so. Additionally this:
I don’t know what you’re trying to say with that.
In GAB, there is no division into enemy nations. Everyone plays against everyone. Accordingly, the opponents in both cases are identical.
++ 2S38 is a bomb with treads
++ 10.3 is flooded with USSR prems (more player problems)
++ only the UD was a good vehicle for the longest time
autoloader buff and BMPT will not have filtered into stats yet
Is it possible to have the same nation on both sides in a match? If no then there are still the same factors at play, especially for the bigger nations in that case.
BMPT stats are live, but not the autoloader buffs.
2.4 kd/r on tech tree/67.5% WR
yeah
this is fine
it’s good at it’s br
never had issue with it flank the enemy tanks or wait for them to come to you and stick with team so you don’t die fast !
i did grind all Swedish tec with it also you have a lot of good copies you can bring !
