Move M24 to reserve, 3.7 is too high

No, but seriously, why is this thing 3.7?
Excellent mobility, great reverse gear, stabiliser, 10 degrees gun depression, can not be killed by MGs, great turret rotation, .50 cal (with 70 degrees elevation, Shermans have 25, do M24 can be an ad-hoc SPAA if needed and I’ve been shot to pieces by these more than once) and of course excellent gun for its BR.
It would do just fine at 4.3.or 4.7 even.
Puma has higher speed, but cannon is pew-pew joke, no stab means you are not winning any gunnery duels and I still think it should go up.

What in the name of god made Gaijin place M24 at 3.7 where it can just roflstomp everything?

it should be at the very least 4.3 as there is no reason for it to be lower br than the amx 13(fl11) which is at 4.3 while being worse in almost every single metric

Counter play in the Stuarts vs this thing at range is minimal

What kind of Stuarts?
So you basically have to play a nation with a Stuart AND choose it as first spawn.
That’s hilarious.
I strongly encourage you to do that because my 1st spawn Ostwind has to eat.

Also, by the same logic, you can literally “counter play” anything else in a stuart, as it basically penetrates most tanks at this BR range.
Does it make Chaffee any weaker?
Nope.

The AMX-13 FL11 is worse and it’s at 4.3 (lol).
I’d place them at 3.7 and 4.0 (maybe 4.3) respectively, with the first EBR being no higher than 4.3 too.

Change it to rank III as well, it just has everything perfect for a light tank to be only 3.7

4.0 BR minimum would be fair.

I’d honestly take the M24 over any of the Pz. IV variants any day.

Even the new LVT premium with the M24 turret is terrorizing 2.7 with the gyrostabilizer and 75mm.

Did you not notice I was agreeing with you?

Chafee one of the best light tanks on his BR, he can pen anyone in side, and most of tanks in front, in one battle i just did 10+ kills only on him, so can’t say he have too high br

Full up tiers are super common most of the time I would be facing SU-122s, T-34s, 75 Shermans.

Remember the LVT M24?

Yep it’s pure pain facing it, omg why?

People talk weird these days, I assumed you’re saying Chaffee can be easily countered by Stuart, and this of course was quite an outrageous statement.
If that wasn’t your point, then I’m happy we agree upon this topic.

Oh neat, my take was stated for me.

M24 is silly strong at it’s BR, I have no idea how it’s still at 3.7.

I think the M24 should be 4.0, but 4.3 may be too much because of the mediocre 6.5s reload.
If it were given the 5s reload like the M4s then I could see it being 4.3.

The AMX-13 (FL11) should go to 3.7 in my opinion.
And the Puma to 3.3 (It was too good at 2.7 but 3.7 is kinda crazy).

The 5.3 EBR should definitely move down to 4.3, as it’s basically a Puma but with the sherman gun, but a 6s reload instead of a 3.7s reload.

After the M24 had its stabilizer added, I was cruising around 3.7 against German teams and bullying Pz III and IVs.

Crazy to think that it never went up in BR.

Welp, guess this marks the beginning of Loofah complaining about every vehicle in Warthunder that isn’t German.

Just move the AMX-13 down then.

Welp, this marks another post by Pangolin where he makes personal remarks because he can’t even imagine somebody is concerned with Game balance.
I play Italy, after roflstomping my enemies with M24 I thought “hey, maybe I’m not THAT good and it’s the tank?”.
Yup, it’s the tank.

I guess my posts about plywood not fusing HE and Bf 109 F4 tanking 3 37mm like it’s nothing is just “fanboyism” and “crusade”, while you brave hero have been defending this game from Tank Only mode for years, so we can’t have fun and engaging gameplay and instead have this spawn-the-plane race in a mode with “Ground” in its name.

Unfortunately I can’t show you the battle summary of my Finland battle with like 16 kills, so this screenshot has to tell the story:

Or just move up the objectively undertiered vehicle

What objectively undertiered vehicle? The M24 is perfectly fine at 3.7. it’s not quite as good as vehicles like the Turan III or Puma, and I cannot imagine a single person having any trouble killing an M24.
