Yeah, fairly enjoyed that event. All products have their own pitfalls sadly

So it has a Lepard hull that gives it mobility. Nice. So you have same case as the marksman Leopard 2 case. Should that SPAA go up to 10.3 because it has a Leopard 2 hull? No, It is sad that it went up from 4.3 to 4.7 but it should stay where it is. Either way if you shoot that vehicle into a hull, then you deserve to die to that vehicle.

Gaijin is so good at making fun April fools events, it’s unfortunate they don’t come back for certain anniversaries.

what they do have is actual armour around the crew, and so what if it is a bit faster, you will die if you try and face the enemy alone
they become no longer fun when people find the meta
It’s not sad that it moved from 4.3. It was criminal at that BR. The DCA 40 is already one of the better TDs of that BR, that firepower on a Leopard 1 hull is beyond broken at 4.3.
5.0 would honestly be ideal.

Oh yeah i loved those submarine events they did back in the day. Also i wonder if the operation rattlesnake video was something akin to foreshadowing.

Didnt the Ostwind just go up in BR again? If so, i can imagine more spaas to follow eventually
NVM, that was the Ostwind 2

No it not. Wow it has speed and 40mm gun. Have you seen the turret that is the BIGGEST WEAKSPOT on it? No only a small HE will kill it, but you dont need to even use a shell to kill it. Just MG it.
There is a non-negligible part of the community that very much wishes the Leo 2 Marksman to go up in BR.
As for the Leo Bofors, I see no situation where the Leo 1 would die where the others would survive. All are incredibly lightly armored, yet the Leo can reach good spots for engaging ground targets much easier as well as it can run away if it notices ground vehicles easier too.
If you are getting shot with any if these vehicles you might as well have already J’d out, the survivability through armor is negligible for all of them in the balancing sense.
Ostwind II i think went up only 0.3 br up

now I see why the MH-60 was glossed over on stream
it is but a shell missing textures
loadouts seem good tho

The same goes for the lvkv, any tank it faces can mg it with ease

If you face the enemy alone frontally then you already lost regardless of what SPAA you’re playing.

True. Outrageous that the Ostwind II was all the way down at 5.0

I don’t quite understand people who claim it’s bad, it is one of the best SPAA experiences I’ve had just after the Coelian.

You mean a lot more mobile than the Lvkv 42. 14,8 HP/ton of the Lvkv 42 and 18,6 HP/ton of the DCA 40 vs close to 23 HP/ton for the new Leopard 40/70.
Around 7 km/h reverse for the Lvkv and DCA 40 vs 26 km/h reverse for the new Leopard 40/70.
You enjoy underselling advantages to keep things on an overpowered BR?

No need to be aggressive, though your points are good.

Yeah, fully agree. At that BR, the regular Ostwind was the best one before the Ostwind II was added.
