I would move it up even without buffs, but sure, you can have its’ full capabilities at +/- 11.0

It’s extremely niche and would have to be at a very high BR to avoid another Starfighter at 9.3 situation

Perfect event vehicle material, but adding it as a SQV like the F-117 would also work

nah but how do you get to see these? I don’t see upcoming vehicles at all in my game

Will have to be seen if it is equal to the vjtf. Imo it isnt, since not nearly enough armour or technology suite.
Hence around 10.3-.7

Except vjtf sucks because Gaijin refuses to fix the ammo rack bug, where if you get ammo rack, you lose both of your tracks and the electronic modules, making you a target awaiting death.

as well as the armour being bugged as well as MUSS having a 100m detection range when its actually around 3km

@gromvoiny can you say If the Packs on console arrive in time with the Update or do we have to wait again a few weeks?

A Begleitpanzer with APFSDS would have even more firepower than the already under tiered 2S38, no way it would be fine at 10.3/10.7

not realy, because the Bagel would still be limited by its ready rack, unlike the 2S38 it cant just fire all its 144 rounds without an break…

wait what br was the tracked rapier

Inform yourself, it’s a production vehicle. The combat module is fully functional, compared to what a KF-51 and AbramsX is now. Bleh.

But on the topic of the Begleitpanzer 57, it ever used APDS-FS ammunition or is something only stated by a document?

the advertisement doc said something about an apfsds round but there’s like fuck all info on it lol

Too high to be useful, 10.0 or 10.3 iirc
