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
The cope is strong here
damn almost like its a testbed

Almost like the average American player is as incompetent as Gaijin at modelling anything or making a game that works
I have yet to complain as any action ingame is skill based
Most. I can confirm spawning in and 2 milliseconds later after spawn preotection goes being blown up by a Kh 38 or similar that acquired you after the body it was locked onto disappeared is not a problem of your skill, rather not have a balanced game
Genuinely a worse tank than the 2S38, shouldn’t be 12.0 in its current state. I doubt it will be made a tank destroyer tho, so just make the most of it ammo and then rush a point or smth
