Yes it has a 1s reload, and a commander sight, and good speed. But it has gen 1 thermals at 12.0, which are useless, very poor penetration relying almost entirely on tracking and barelling vehicles then flanking, and only having a whopping 26 rounds of ammo is absolutely miserable, all of which combining to make a worse RDF/LT with no premium bonuses
So 2S38, is 11.0 vehicle, slow, one shot, with no gun depression, which got nerfed many times. But nobody’s gonna talk about Strf90, with less penetration, but way faster fire rate, much better survivability, better gun depression/reverse, and even missiles, on 10.3… I see totally balanced and not biased opinion.
Reason: Currently the hq-11 is in the same boat as the spyder, which is being limited to 8 missiles ready and only being a single system while being very large.
this ends up putting it at a great disadvantage compared to the other 12.7 sam systems and one that builds onto the original issues.
there are two separate solutions to this, either bring it down in br to 12.3 or keep it 12.7 and give it a secondary launcher (maybe even the ciws gun it should have) as this would help both survivability and effectiveness.
Shouldn’t the Japanese A-7e also be move with its American tree counterpart?
also move the Sea Hawk mk.50 and mk.100 back down to 9.0, that’s the only thing that made them worth using.
Vehicle : Turm III
Gamemode : Ground RB
BR change : 8.3 → 8.7
This German tank is very strong for its br. It has 5.0s reload on 105mm gun, has 30mm secoundary canon. Downtiers to 7.3 are playground for this machine, yes it has no armor, but if used right, it will wipe out entire enemy team. IMO it could be 9.0, but lets put it on 8.7 for now and see what happens.
Vehicle : Premium T-80UD
Gamemode : Ground RB
BR change : 10.3 → 10.7
Because of recent reload change (from 6.5 to 6.0s) this tank is OP. Has a lot of armor and is very mobile forward.
Vehicle : BMPT and BMPT-72
Gamemode : Ground RB
BR change : 11.3 → 11.7 or even 12.0
Do I really have to explain this?
Vehicle : Object 906
Gamemode : Ground RB
BR change : 8.0 → 8.3 or even 8.7
How is this fully stabilized tank with 4.3s reload is on 8.0 where some of tanks have no stabilizer on this BR, especially if it gets downtiered to 7.0?
Vehicle : Object 685
Gamemode : Ground RB
BR change : 8.7 → 9.0
This tank is better than Ikv 91-105 (which is 9.0), because it has 6.0s reload while Swedish tank has 6.7s best with ACE crew. Ikv has 105mm while Object has 100mm, but it is not that big of a difference, because that 0.7s faster reload makes HUGE difference.
Vehicle : T-64A (1971)
Gamemode : Ground RB
BR change : 9.3 → 9.7
6s reload which it got recently buffed this tank a lot, like its better brother T-64B, which now goes on 10.3. This tank is way better than T-72A, so they shouldn’t be on same BR.
Those are tanks i can think of right now, there are for sure more things to change, some of them were mentioned by others, some of them were mentioned in past br changes, but nothing changed since then.
I do not think the chieftain mk10 or chieftain 900 deserve to be moved up to 9.3, they are the only counter to the object 279 at its own BR with the strong turrets and decent dart.
