The M1128 might be the worst Top Tier wheeled vehicle.
Reasons.
Cons
1: Horrible GD as bad as a Soviet Tank.
2: Horrible armour the M1128 can be 7.62 and strafed by any aircraft with guns larger then 12mm
3:Horrible stock HEATFS round.
4:B.R. at a B.R. of 10.3 it gets constant uptiers to 11.3.
5. It’s just bad mostly because you can get the M1 Abrams for the same price and atleast take some hits and live.
Cons, Bad GD, Horrible armour, Bad Stock round, Bad B.R. , can just get Abrams.
Pros…
1: Great Final round M900. The M900 is one of if not the best round for it’s B.R…
2: Good top speed still way slower then its counterparts… decent acceleration Pro tip use the suspension and lower the front of the M1128 and you will accelerate faster and have more GD.
3: Great Thermals way better then the M1 Thermals.
In my opinion the M1128 should be 10.0 because of how out preformed it is by other wheeled vehicles at it’s B.R. or below.
The problem with the M1128 is that its inherently a super situational vehicle, and it can’t really go down. Your solution is to spawn it on maps where it works well, specifically on long-range hull-down maps.
Yeah I agree, on some maps, M1128s sniping behind hills with only turret out is hopeless for enemy vehicles, and otherwise in an urban map it itself is hopeless.
Although compared to other wheeled vehicle as well, this BR can totally be justified. ZLT11 sits at 9.7 with worse everything, armour, reload, rounds, speed, manoeuvrability and depression. I would reckon it is a solid 10.3, but super dependent on the map.
The M900 made me completely change my opinion on this thing. It doesn’t play like any other light tank in its tier but it can still get kills even in 11.7 games
The M1128 would be fine at 10.3 if it got its realistic 6 second reload and actual depression of 8°, also, the .50 cal shield should just be removed without the armor kit.
That certainly is a take.
The Stryker is fine where it’s at, the VEXTRA is sorta fine as well, albeit it’s half paying French tax and half compression that landed it 10.0.
Unmanned turret also
And remember that the Rad 90 is 10.0 with the same shit armor, stock HEAT-FS, but without an unmanned turret, any thermals at all, and a top shell comparable to M833.
