As is well known, the German 7.3 Br is one of the weakest Br in the entire game. Compared to other HEATFS primary ammunition, RU251 has a relatively slow rate of fire. Furthermore, the damage of HEATFS is inconsistent, resulting in a relatively low kill/death ratio. Reducing its Br is the solution. If we get a Br 6.7 or 7.0 Ru251, people will be more willing to buy it.

Ru251 is at 7.3 for a reason. It trades protection and shell selection for mobility. Same HEAT-FS shell and reload time as M47, with one of the highest HP/T for its BR.

Sometimes M47 can kill more with chossing M82. Speed is precisely Ru251’s best advantage. However, heatfs shell can’t help with more kills. It performs even worse when facing the side of a tank. Therefore, it would be even better to give an APHE.

6.7 is to low but 7.0 ? yes, why not.
M56 too with 1.5 seconds faster reload and is 6.7. Yes, i know no armor and poor gun handling but can fire APHE, is small and very fast. Meanwhle RU have some armor and is turretet plus MG-3 machinegun but cant fire the APHE so 7.0 look more fine.
Honestly the only reason why RU is 7.3 is because is a German tank. Gaijin for “some reasons” try to destroy and nerf in every possible way the acces to movility for Germany.
No, it was broken at 6.7 and then 7.0, so now its 7.3 which is fine as it is now.

I have it. It is perfectly fine where it is. One of the most mobile tanks in the game, at any BR.
If you are dying it in, you should probably be using its incredible reversing abilities to get out of harm’s way while you reload.
So lower it to the same BR as Ratel 90 which has a nearly identical gun but worse ballistics, far worse mobility, and can be .50cal’d frontally
HEATFS is inconsistent in its spalling, but as long as you aim for ammo you should have no trouble at all killing any tank. HEATFS also has the added bonus of overpressure. The shell is not the issue
I concur. I do extremely well with the m47 aphe shell. I dont dare touching that god aweful heat. But the m47 has excellent mobility for what it is, and its armor protection is just enough to be competent. Its in my opinion better than the m48.
But giving the RU aphe would only increase its br to 7.7. it basically becomes a german batchat.
At that point the vehicle would just be a better Leopard 1 in my eyes. APHE for all of the squishy vehicles and if you couldn’t pen just use HEATFS or run away
bruh its a leopard I with better mobility what the hell are you smoking

lol Ru-251 is a 7.7 that’s currently at 7.3.
It’s slightly OP at 7.3 where its equals are all 7.7 at this time.
