Moving the Object 140 to 8.7 completely blunts any edge it had, now it faces vehicles with far superior rounds and mobility more often. I do not understand why the decision was even made to move it, where it stood at 8.3 was extremely balanced given its limited capabilities and generally equivalent opponents.
Sure, it can be potent in the right hands, but it lacks a LRF or any advanced forms of armor or AFSDS. Many of which tanks at the new BR have. It was more or less a side T-55A, it has largely the same capabilities with a more potent gun, slightly improved mobility, but far far more inconsistent armor. Why has this - something equivalent to the T-55A - been uptiered while the Turm 3 continues to dominate 8.3 completely uncontested?
