Now, this being Gaijin, I expected to be let down, but even aside from the Terminator situation as a whole, they were very lazy when implementing the CRV…
-
While the Terminator not only gets an ammo crate to refill all types of ammunition and EVEN ARTILLERY AS A TD, which Gaijin surely can explain, the CRV somehow gets no ammo crates despite having a weaker performing gun in game, and a lower missile fire rate.
-
The Spike performs as terribly as ever, specifically against soviet/chinese mbts. this is very funny considering it was made to defeat them. Anyone can test what i say via a quick test drive btw
-
and this is by far the biggest oversight: THE AMMUNITION IS NOT CONSIDERED EXTERNAL.
Even in the Model it is clear that the ammunition has a separating layer from the crew compartment, yet apparently it doesn’t count here even though it does with the terminator whose ammunition runs right trough the crew compartment.
-
and as if that all wasn’t bad enough for survivability, just like with the r400, for some inexplicable reason the devs decided to give it a turret basket.
I just want to remind everyone that this is still the same br as the terminator, who has superb armor, weapons, supply crates A TD ARTY STRIKE and a crewless turret with “external ammunition”.
To any gaijin devs reading this, please address these points it is inexcusable.

Light tanks don’t get ammo crates, nor do they need them
That’s not an oversight, an oversight would be if it didn’t have the modules
Also, there’s a current bug with HEAT postpen in general
not current, since implementation
false, it is decided on a vehicle to vehicle basis gaijin said. TDs also don’t get artillery usually, or spotting. But both has been done before in game. all spike ifvs would profit from them.
I assume you agree with the other points?
No, I just know enough about the vehicle to verify
i have died multiple times to the “first stage” ammo getting hit.
It shouldn’t do that
Depends on whether the gun and ammo belt feed into the crew compartment
even the current ingame model
Wait this is actually really funny.

Declassified sources would be a good start
But if you have sources, then you’d be better off in the bug report site and not the forums
Current since the last major update
Lets be real, the CRV was going to the uk so ofc it was gonna be under performing on arrival. It suffers with the same stuff that puma amd jaguar get but because its not a russian premium they dont get balanced br placements or weapon systems that work properly like the spikes.

This exactly. Especially considering how “external” the bmpt belts are

spikes never did their job

They did, but the safety of fire and forget is the natural tradeoff for not being able to precisely aim them at kill spots
