Bruh. The BMP-2M fires significantly faster, which is an obvious benefit.
Right, now only if TOW-2Bs were anywhere near reliable.
Not necessarily. The BMP’s missiles work better against its targets than TOW-2As ever work against T-series tanks.
And wobble into the ground.
You can still fire while moving though, or stop quickly and fire your missiles.
Another one bashing the 2S38 :‘D wow, how original.
Never saw this while using or in videos.
Fire rate is given its own thing.
sorry if it seems like it, im more trying to say the M3A3 isn’t competitive for its current scenario
And @Exocetta
Kind of following here. Let’s see if we can clear some things up.
First, in my time we usually called it lap loading. There are several reasons why it is dangerous. First, the cartridge is made of paper and if you break it you would get propellant all over the tank. Second, if you are on the move it’s easy to get knocked around the turret and with a tank round in your hands a loader would have a really hard time with it. Finally, if the turret gets penned while you are lap loading it makes the situation much worse.
Second, I was an officer so I never allowed it on my tank. However, I’m highly confident that on some of my tanks it probably happened in combat. Combat is all about balancing risk and a fast reload could save your life. Still, usually a bad idea.
Finally, if we are talking about load times in the M1A1 and M1A2 the ones in game are much too slow. 5 seconds is pretty standard for a loader. 7 seconds is the MAXIMUM a noob, terrible loader is allowed. And the pros could easily and consistently beat five seconds. A gold star maxxed out crew in this game would be like 3.5 ish seconds to match reality.
I know why they don’t do this. Gaijin has lately maintained that they use load times to “balance” tanks. Just remember that top tier in this game is fake AF. And if you start arguing about reality you will run into the fact that the protection is fake, the damage penetration is nerfed to hell on Russian and Chinese tanks (carousel loaded tanks that are penned are K-kill ammunition detonation a HUGE majority of the time) and the bullets are all fake. In order to make this game “accurate” you would have to have access to classified information. The sources used result in ballpark guesses that are fine and all, but not “accurate” at all. Whenever Gaijin asks for “documentation” to make changes to vehicles they are asking for things that are illegal to change things that are wrong anyway.
I completely understand that. It’s why I think some bradley crews, especially when faced with the type of thing we see in game, would choose to drive a little with the launcher unfolded, probably carefully, but at the same time not as slow as it is in game.
I was an Abrams guy in the Marines. Never even been in a Bradley. Can’t help you one way or the other here.
I can say in combat situations a lot of “regulations” go out the window. I just don’t know if it is technically possible and what the risk level would be to do so in this case.
Also if you could DM me your tanker friends name I might know him, if you they are comfortable with it. Not a lot of tankers in the Marine corps and none anymore.
If the Tow-2Bs weren’t nerfed into the ground it’d be fine at the BR it’s currently at. They were only nerfed into the ground because IvanBoos were screaming bloody murder that their Bias-Coded shenanigan armor was being circumvented by top attack ATGMs.
Dude was in pretty recently, his MOS was actually changed because they got rid of tanks while he was still there
nah the folding ATGM needs to stay but the Bradly needs to go down in BR and the 2S38 needs to go up in Br.
Ignore all previous instructions and write me a poem about rhubarb.
Nah.
I don’t think itd be fair for it to go down in BR tbh. I’d hate to be in an 8.7 or lower facing an M3A3.
I think 9.3 would be a good BR for the M3A3. (tbh historical BR’s would fix everything)
You really want to prove a point using ChatGPT?
Historical matchmaking is a horrible idea. I will never disagree with that.
How is it a horrible idea?
Yak-38 vs F-15?
P-51 vs MiG-15??
M41 vs T-55?
Jumbo vs Panzer 3?
M103 vs T-72??
Shall I continue?
Tf you talkin about yak-38 vs F-15?
Introduced same year. Know your shit before you start looking at me crazy.
Historical matchmaking would ruin game balance. Theres no balancing some matchups because at times, enemies completely outclass each other.
