Sad M901

Machinery of War Discussion Ground Vehicle
1

I have waited for some time to finally unlock and play the M901. WHAT a disappointment! No tow 2b’s, no machine gun, no scouting, no artillery and sub par atgm handling. Can we get the upgraded versions of this unit at least, like the M901A1 or the M901A3?? AND on a second note, the ammo boxes are a cool idea, but FFS allow them to be placed on ANY GROUND next to the vehicle its SUPPLYING!!! the fact that it has to be on level ground or some other garbage is ridiculous!

Update:
After playing this vehicle for the past couple of weeks, I have come to the conclusion that it is junk. Sure it has its niche on a few maps, but the overall dynamic of this vehicle in game is garbage! I am sure in real life this unit is great, I am sure in real life you can stow the launcher at any time as needed, I am sure in real life the launcher doesn’t just start being stowed automatically before the last atgm has reached its target, I am sure in real life, the atgms actually go where they are aimed, I am sure in real life you could scout targets and call in artillery, I am sure in real life the exhaust signature is not 8’ above the vehicle, etc, etc, etc…

It’s a very fine vehicle,even tho it’s highly dependent on the map you get. Find a hill,park yourself behind it so that only the launcher is visible and enjoy the show!

“But my launcher gets constantly destroyed” okay and?unless the enemy is REALLY close,they can’t cover the distance before you’re done repairing.

The only threats to your survival are:

  1. CAS (as always)
  2. HE (kinda rare at that BR bracket,but you can still see them. And 105mm HESH sometimes could do the funny)
  3. Light tanks (if they spot you,your launcher is basically a SL piñata)

TOWs have an okay agility, obviously you can’t nake them zigzag but they’re still viable,you just need to get used to

Both the A4E and the M1A1 AIM are good from what I’ve heard.

It’s a M113, sadly you can’t expect a lot of mobility

Let’s wait until Gaijin will add the LAV-AT series of vehicles…

A-4E is ok, but it has not ground lineup and is overshadowed by options held by most other nations.

Abamz is just simply bad

12

you can expect level 2 mobility because m901 were fitted with better engine/transmission(look spookston vid on m901-theres sources there)

I agree about the ammo box but… you have 30 degrees of gun depression, use it

I agree that it can be annoying, but alot of times you just have to spend a couple seconds scanning around to find a spot you can place it
