The Object 685 is light tank, can be found in the Soviet tech tree. It features a Two-Plane Stabilizer, a 6s Autoloader, a laser rangefinder and excellent mobility at only 8.7 while other contemporaries such as the M60A2 or higher in BR such as the Leopard A1A1, don’t feature the same capabilities. As a result I would like to see this tank go up in BR to 9.0 or 9.3.

Neither of the listed tanks you mentioned are light tanks.
M60A2 is 8.3.
Leopard A1A1 features a 50% better round and superior turret traverse at the minimum.
The closest to Object 685 is TAM, which is firing a 50% better round, has more gun depression, and could very well be more mobile.
The TAM is easily 0.3 BR better than the Object 685 and it’s currently 9.0.
So if Object 685 went to 9.0, would you support moving multiple other light tanks up by 0.3 as well for fairness?
Ikv-91-105 is another light tank firing a notably better round.
Class 3P and PTL02 are wheeled vehicles firing better rounds, and PTL02 has thermals.

Object 685 isnt that bad IMO, something like Object 906 is way dumber. Two-plane stabilizer with 4.3 second auto loader at 8.0 with great APHE round + HEAT is just retarded. It’s very strong at 8.0 and could easily come up to 8.3 or even 8.7

The autoloader of the 685 is what gives it a far better advantage over the light tanks you mentioned. Even though the round may not be as good, does it really matter when you can fire again in 6s? I’m mainly talking about when it gets downtiers which is pretty common for 8.7 where it has a clear speed advantage, paired with a stabilizer and autoloader over any tanks at a lower BR. It can very well fight against 9.0 light tanks without any challenge.
Well that’s another OP tank…
