Then make a R3(late) and give it the proposed fixes

I would say it would do fine at 7.7 I think it’s a little faster than the Japanese wheels boys but a plus to the r3 is that it’s smaller, and has an unmanned turret, irl it did have nvd as well
unmanned turret is useless when the ammo rack is at its side…
the same ammo rack that can explode when hit by 7.62…
being smaller means that crew is packed togheter (4 vs 5 of the “japanese wheels boys”)

size is a really big deal when dealing with rat tanks such as the xm800t, the Japanese type 87 (p) is really tall and can frontally be penetrated by 50 cals while the R3 is immune frontally from 50 cals, the R3 also has better elevation angles which can help with airplanes, and the R3 is amphibious, overall what im saying is that the R3 would fit perfectly at 7.7 with its irl features.
That’s not true at all, it seems you’ve missed a giant windshield. It can actually be penetrated even by some small caliber mgs through windshield in close combat.

Not having thermals will never be at BR7.7.
As for turning it into a light vehicle I agree with you.
IDK it’s faster than the Wiesel. I see it as roughly analogous.
It will never be on the same level as the Wiesel, for several reasons.
- The developers have nerfed all the vehicles with wheels you notice it immediately when you have to climb a hill, in some places you slide like there’s butter on the ground, you won’t be able to reach some points on the map that those with tracks can, because those with tracks don’t slide.
- Wiesel has thermals, while R3 T20 does not.
- Wiesel has munizini belts, APDS while R3 T20 does not.
The developers just have to leave R3 T20 at BR 6.0 and put it as a light tank.
