Honestly my biggest gripe about them are the fact it has an aluminum superstructure compared to the steel superstructure on the 2S3. Allows overpenetration for every APHE shell, which is what most tanks of that br depend on. I don’t mind that it is an M109 mixed in with WW2 tanks, I just mind that it is make of aluminum in a world where steel was the lightest material they used.
You are not wrong at all there.
My personal take is that gaijin put the m109 in the game, across close to every country, in some form, is to accommodate the less than average player.
Think about it.
The HE artillery tank is broken beyond hell. Overpressure lurks around every corner. Its a broken mechanic, abusive with artillery tanks. They dont have to aim properly, while when your aphe heat dart tank hits it slightly off, you will not survive long enough to hit it a second time. They have so much crew and space in that turret, its a miracle they didnt include a fucking jacuzzi.
Its a tank, that is meant for when your girlfriend asks if she can give the game a try. You give her an m109 and zhe will think she does alright.

If we’re talking about hitting a tank and it doing nothing, try being in an early M109 and missing/having a shot eaten by enemy tank lol
Long reload and you’re huge as a house with no armor, at least YOU’LL damage the M109 shooting him more often
