There is no proper argument the 2S38 hysteria partakers can bring up that warrants this vehicle being moved up. I wonder why players like you ignore the Swedish IFVs having HE-VT, radar and APFSDS with better armor at 10.0.
Literally, bandwagoning cause you got killed.
One good thing about TAM variants is the engine acts as hull armor, unlike Leopards or Chieftains, hitting there almost always guaranteed OHKO, TAM will shoot you back if you hit the hull, even the 130mm APHE from the Object 279 will stuck there, the only way to reliable kill it is the turret cheek, so it overall has better protections/survivability than Leopard 1 variants.
dont know about that chief. maybe if were talking the russian 100mm APHEs found on T-54/55s, but the schlong of 279?
testing in protection analysis, maybe if you hit the LFP and transmission, but the 279s gun can cut straight through the sloped UFP and kill it.
this is where i am speaking from experience, i have spaded more or less every plane that is going to fight these down tiered migs and sabres and i can say with absolute confidence they are going to be fodder, all the sabre or mig has to do if they mess up is run away and come back later, with the exception of maybe the la200 in which case you just turn and let that sky whale list as the two more modern fighters are infinitely more manouverable and retain their energy. Also as someone who has spaded every spitfire, i can also tell you that currently the later griffon spits are horrible to play, as that uptier is just death, now its guaranteed death

Before I forget it:
Air RB
Put the BB-1 from 1.3 to 1.7 or even 2.0
It’s way too strong as a Strike Aircraft. It can carry an insane amount of ordanance for 1.3 while also having good flight performance and better firepower than most fighters.

Its not the fact they are ignoring it, its more the fact you dont see those ifvs as nearly as much and they are not nearly as good, i was spading out my chally 1 mk 3 today, and i think i saw one swede ifv which i promptly nailed to the side of the cross, but every game i would see the 2s38 and normally it was more than one.
The two vehicles are not really comparable though, as the 2s38 is significantly more survivable, that front fuel tank sometimes eats shells and there is nothing in the turret, unlike the 90s. The 2s38 also has aphe with 151mm of pen on the flat on a 57mm gun, along with better penning APFSDS than any of the 90s, the only 90 with a good apfsds shell has 170/143/93mm of pen on the flat at point blank, to the 225/190/130mm of the 2s38, which is the difference of front plating and turret ringing alot of people, as i cant get front penned by the swedes, of which only on has the good shell, where as the 2s38 can do it easily.
What you have listed there is two different vehicles each having their own strength, one has radar but the weak dart round, the other has the good dart round and no radar. They all have a fuse shell, but that is standard fair for any ifv with a 40mm or larger gun.
Something you would know if you had ever actually played any of them

I think the issue with that is us waiting for the seperation of air and ground br’s for planes, as there are alot of really strong revenge bombers that are all now hovering at br 2.7 or below XD

Well, the BB-1s BR is too low for both air and ground battles.
It’s just way too good for 1.3 compared to any other aircraft of its type.

AGS need m900 and maybe go to 11.3
shenyang f-5 need to go 9.0
2s38 and obj292 both go to 10.3
G91Y go to 8.7
G91YS go to 9.0
this two plane can’t even supersonic why they have so much high BR
And why AMX go to 10.7? any reason? cuz GBU?
so you want a subsonic plane against f-14 or other gen 3 plane ?
GAIJIN that’s why Italy has only 1% player to play
GUESS NO ONE CARES ABOUT ITALY

its on par, most trees have a strong attacker at that br
Umm I may be wrong, but I’m pretty sure that the only difference between the prem and TT versions of regular m18 is the muzzle break, which is mostly cosmetic…
and the later ones have 460HP rather than 400 on teh Black cat, this was a buff in the last week though
The Vampire Yes, the venom was suprisingly enjoyable, main problem is the Hispanos being lacking at that BR
This would be a very positive change, we can avoid players who only go for the most broken vehicles and dilute the skill levels of top tier AMI players with their ass F104S grind.
Huh, okay. I didn’t realize this happened
as someone who played the hellcat religiously back in the day the prem one and the normal m18 are identical bar a few cosmetic changes , and of course that premium bonus
Oh yeah? On par with what? With a Stuka that flies like a boat? Or a Japanese plane that carries 250-500kg bombs instead of 1200kg?

so theres the Ju-87R-2, SB2U-2, SB2U-3, V156, Wirraway, B5N2, D3A1, V-11, Ba…65, B17B
None of these are better than the BB-1
Hell the Su-2s are are equivalent and at from 1.7-2.7, with the MV-5 being the most similar

Sb2u, tbf-1c, ju-87 r2, v-156, wirraway, b6n1, v-11, hawk III, ba.65, b-17
all are very solid ground attackers and some are better than the bb-1
yeah no
Only the TBF has a chance with the 50 cals and the 2000lb, or the SB2U-3, both of which are 1.7 and at best sidegrades to BB-1
