Its take basic logic to realize the just because a playerbase (like premium players) plays a tank poorly, that doesn’t make a tank suddenly justified in being buffed. A good example is America 8.3, where the stats look great because only skilled players play those tanks, despite 8.3 America having a mediocre lineup.

Delta rounds? What are these?
This is a problem Gaijin has been having. In fact, Gaijin looked at HSTVL stats and said “Hmm the stats are ok must be fine” even though only skilled players attempt to play the tank because it’s so bad.
I never claimed I did exceptional in it either. You think this is some pissing contest when in reality im just telling you that you have no experience in the tank worth mentioning. That said, you ignore all the nuance of stats so it fits your argument. When did I play the HSTV-L? What lineup did I use? What was the meta at the time? What was the flavor of the month at the time? How GOOD was I at the time versus now? You ignore these factors.
Besides, 7 games is not valid. You would have to play a lot more than that to be able to stat compare anyway…
Also, while i have it stock, you are close to spading it.
Meanwhile the average 2S38 player:
The K/D sucks because the players using them suck. That doesn’t make the vehicle itself any less broken OP. It is effectively a vastly superior Otomatic that is 1.3 BR lower, where the Otomatic is effectively worthless due to the existence of things like the Pantsir and constant uptiering to that BR.
I should also remark that the 2S38 is at the same BR as the CV9040s, the 9040s: which have a 24 round first stage ammo rack that goes insanely quickly, which takes longer to reload 1 40mm shell than it does an Abrams to load a 120mm shell (for some incredibly intelligent Gaijin reason), while also being less survivable than the 2s38, with less pen, worse AA capability, and only the Lvkv9040C can track air targets to begin with, using a much less reliable lock than the 2S38. The 9040s accelerate much slower, and have worse gun handling.
So yes, I’d like to see the 2S38 moved to 11.3 and the Otomatic moved to 11.0. I also think the 10.0 premium Russian stack is absolutely obnoxious and I’m tired of seeing it, whilst my team of click-baits dies once and leaves.

Bud, nothing you say will change the fact you have a whopping 7 games. Please actually play the tank and get back to me.
My friends call it the “Oops All Premiums” Lineup lol
But gaijin will NEVER break it up

Thanks for proving Lvkv can survive much more than 2S38 can. Thanks to spall liners,crew in the back and large crew count of 6,compared to 3 people getting oneshot every time 2S38 is hit.

Are you for real? Are you actually being for real? I survived because the person in the video was an idiot shooting precisely in the same spot over and over, failing to hit my last remaining crewman. The 2S38 can pen through the entirety of the 9040s, front to back, anywhere.
You surely must be joking.

But my tank has such obvious weakspots!
Mfw 292 has weakspots while most tanks at the BR have weak zones or are just weak lmao

Mfw when I shot a 292 in the breach in my Type 90 with the APFSDS and it failed to pen.

Funnily enough, the 292 is one of the only tanks in the entire game (of like 2) that has no artificial breech weakspot. The mantlet is extremely hard to pen, because it has no gaps like every other MBT in the game (because artificial Gaijin reasons).
Lmao just compare the armor on the 292, to the Type 10 (one of the most expensive and advanced tanks on the planet)

Can also shoot the sides of the mantlet and it’s still a complete toss-up whether you pen or not.
It can also survive a frontal UFP penetration by a 1200mm penning tandem warhead ATGM. Because… realism.

TOW-2Bs also can’t penetrate the roof because it has that thick ass plate over most of the turret roof… this is besides the fact the TOW-2B doesn’t fail to penetrate a single tank irl lol (gaijin has the kinetic penetrator at stupid low levels of penetration rn, like 110mm)

no, it doesnt.
2s38’s mobility even worse than leopard 2a7’s

where did you get damage of 57mm apfsds from? can you share it with me?
this can be said about EVERY vehicle, because the only goal in this game is to make frags. no, they play differently. the closest analogue of 2s38 is strf 40
