Hello everyone, I was wanting to get into higher tiers a little bit more and was wondering if the CRV Block 2 would be worth it, before you say it, yes I’m aware it’ll get obliterated by the BMPT, yes I am aware that it can’t go head on with MBTs but it would be to supplement my 10.7 lineup which only consists of the G-Lynx, T-90S, FV4030 and soon to be the Rapier, I do already enjoy all of these vehicles but I liked the look of the CRV and was wondering on your thoughts? Its currently about 15 Gjn
Just FYI it’s APS is currently bugged and only 1 of the dozens of hard kill launchers actually fires it’s 2 charges, the rest of them are just dead weight.

Alright thanks, although I’m guessing the playstyle of this thing is to not get shot, is it worth adding to my lineup do you think? I am nearly at 8.7 so I can bolster my lineup shortly sooo

I don’t have enough time in it to really say, the spikes are funny to derp people over hills, but they are not the most reliable, so you are basically driving a 9.7 at 10.7, that said I still use my Type 24/25s at 11.7 Japan and they are ok if you don’t expect too much from then, lots of assists and scouting, not many kills. But I would get the opinion of someone with more experience in light tanks them me before deciding. I wouldn’t have commented other then I literally just had the thing in test drive and noticed the APS is broken and the bug report is 2 months old for it (at least it is accepted though), so I figured I would give you a heads up on it.
Alright well I appreciate it man! Happy hunting

yeah the CRV is definitely worth it. Its my go to light tank at 13.0 so i cant imagine it not working well at 10.7.
It has some pretty glaring weaknesses though.
-
Its very large so peaking hills isnt recommended.
-
Speaking of peaking hills, its crew sit in the turrent so any well aimed shots will kill you
-
Its guns are either hit or miss, so youll have to use your speed to flank or wait for a good shot
-
Avoid the terminator at all costs. Your gun will even struggle to kill them side on. Its not worth engaging them with their relict + spall liners + era combo. A single burst from them (at any range) will kill you.
Apart from that its a very good support vehicle.
-
Youre moderately faster than mbt’s when you get up to speed so flanking shouldnt be a problem.
-
spikes are reliable cripplers and thats all you should expect from them. They are good for disabling an enemy from a safe distance, with the rare chance of a kill
-
It has a very good defensive suite featuring APS, LWS and alot of smoke grenades
-
Its good at getting Spawn Points (for your glynx, which is also awesome) so you wouldnt have to do much to get it
I recommend grinding for the stormer hvm too as its basically a light tank. Starstreaks will kill every light tank you’ll see and can even kill T72’s from the side. It was my Light tank before the Crv and it was great
Mmm I appreciate it, might pick it up then as I want something new to try and it looks pretty. Thanks for the help
theres a reason its so cheap. spikes are about as reliable as a bridge made of wet toilet paper unless its fired at a heli thats already in gun range. your APS is only theoretical and youre better off just using the ajax in 90% of situations
I just bought it and I actually enjoy it quite a bit! Its very fun!
its fun, but far from effective

Its just another wheeled carrier plus aps and ir missiles. Ir missiles are slow and occasionally work. Aps is useful if the enemy bmpt decides to fire a missile instead just shredding you.
I love it its so good, until you go up against anything Russian, when your missiles wont work and your autocannon is useless. I have a 0.5KD in it!! Which is pretty good considering the BMPT…
