Poor Otomatic still sits at 11.3 when it’s clearly worse than any other top tier AA. Even 9.3 SAMs work better than it

The main reason for its BR sadly is the APFSDS round that it gets. It can’t go down in BR, because it would be too strong when used against tanks.
It’s only got 12 APFSDS and it’s breech is the size of a low-tier light tank

That’s still 12 rounds of up to 311mm pen with a reload of 0.5 seconds. The breech being huge or the tank itself being rather easy to destroy doesn’t change that.
12 76mm APFSDS is worth 4 tanks if you’re lucky, though, which is much less than the 2S38 or even the HSTV-L’s capability. 10.7 would make sense for its current implementation.
Thinking about It, does It get the ammo box?
If so It might be slightly better now.
Still the worse SPAA at the BR tho.
The HSTV-L is at 11.7 with worse reload and worse pen. The 2S38 on the other side is under-BR’d for all intents and purposes.

Worst reload, yes, but it is a less obvious target (and until the most recent patches, it didn’t have a massive module that would brick the whole vehicle). The pen is worse but you do get more ammo.
The OTOMATIC being anywhere higher than 11.0 at the most is just nonsensical.
If you can implement these fixes with Storm warning, they’d be very welcomed from US ground.

It can’t go below 11.0 if it keeps the APFSDS round, it’s the same situation as with the Falcon, where the performance against tanks matters more than the performance against planes.
I do agree that at 11.3 it is pretty bad, but putting it below 11.0 while letting it keep that APFSDS round would be a bad idea.
Those Tigers are super neat! If they’re actually adding a cosmetic-only full lineup bundle with those three that’d be awesome, seems like a great model for premiums and I hope we get more like this!
I am sad to know we will go into 2025 and there isn’t even a single notable MBT-related fix to be seen anywhere…
Bugs that were reported and “acknowledged” months and even years ago…
And only ONE Rank VIII MBT across the span of an entire year…
In terms of Naval, I am also sad to see that the also acknowledged shell room detonation mismodelling and unhistorical American Battleship reloads haven’t been addressed either.

Ah yes the Tor, far inferior to the Type 81 and the OTO.

Out of all the nations that need new SPAA I would probably say Japan and Isreal need it the most.

Italy hasn’t had one since 2018.

Then remove the APFSDS and let it be just a SPAA at 10.3 or something…

Type 81 workes pretty well
They just got the Osa.
Not having a radar at top tier a joke, unable to lock onto heli’s at 5km is a joke.
