This tank is literally unplayable bro
Like really? 26 total ammo??? I can literally run it dry just 50 seconds into the match bro. Petition to make this a tank destroyer please. So once you unlocked the HEVT and allocate 10 shells into the tray, so 16 APFSDS and 10 HEVT? Rambo will hate this vehicle
Inb4 noob skill issue, learn to aim bro
̶J̶o̶k̶e̶s̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ Jokes aside, ain’t there a version/prototype that carries 60 total ammo?
yes thats the premium one for a whopping 60 dollars or 70, i forgot and i dont wanna check, with x3 the ammo at the same BR cuz money
HSTV-L is “okay” tho. You cant just spray and pray like 2S38 and RDF/LT cuz u got only 26 rounds so its a skill check tank and the dart is missing ~100mm of pen but its whatever. It’s a decent terrain fighter cuz it has good gun depression and low profile
I suggest u dont take more than 1-3 proxy shell cuz ur ammo is so limited already. U cant even look up that high and u need all the dart u can get.

Not to mention this little bastard also has a pathetic 8x gunner zoom, long range sniping going to be ass at that br
Not that it makes the situation much better, but just in case you didn’t see yet, both the HSTVL and RDF/LT have IRST. Soooo makes it slightly less worse for using the prox fused shells.
I carry a bunch on the escort tank 57, around 80 HEVT mainly to get rid of scout drones and helicopters. The HSTVL has thermals, might be able to see incoming LMURs and KH-38 and intercept them bro can’t imagine having only 5-10 ammo for this role lol are there any tricks that I could refund my two million lions?
lol no, its a shitty gen 1 thermal and you cant see much with it. I only use it to scan for tanks/plane/heli from time to time and keep it off so i can see and land precise shots
This entire forums questions and lack of understanding can be answered and fixed by watching Spookton’s old videos on the HIMAG, HSTV-L, RDF/LT and ADMAG videos. Like 30 minutes total to get the full understanding of the entire program
its at the same BR because its worse in almost every other way
Despite the low ammunition count, the 75 mm autocannon is very much effective, matter fact maybe the best autocannon vehicle in-game in terms of damage per shot. It is naturally a hard vehicle to learn to play but in general is very effective. The high explosive variable time fuse projectile is, in my opinion not recommended to bring, unless you get yourself a handful of 4 or 6 projectiles for low and slow flying targets.
Hmm, aside from ammo count like what can the tech tree version do the prem version cannot?
tech tree has better gun angles, better survivability, is faster, and looks cooler
RDF/LT also has a slightly faster reload of 0.9s which is 10% faster than the HSTV-L
its like the same tank bro what difference is there between the two
It should stay a light tank.
And 26 rounds is more than enough for 13:1 KDR, and getting 4:1 KDR is impressive enough.
I even started dropping my ammo on Leopard 2s down to 16 rounds.
Positioning is everything with the HSTVL. It’s an ambush and flanking vehicle in an offensive role.
Ok, second match got 3 kills total. It’s one of the deadliest flankers, I can see it could take out an entire squad within seconds, side shots were OHKO and got its first double kills reward lol
High mobility is a key part of the HSTV-L’s design, use it. I sound like the typical AI voice explaining things in a monotone voice, I feel like Lazerpig now
