In the planned changes in combat ratings, it is planned to raise the b.r. for the SPz-12-3 LGS.
Let’s compare the M50, SPz-12-3 LGS and FIAT 6614:

---|---|---|---|
Guns | 6 * 106mm recoilless rifle | 1 * 106mm recoilless rifle + 1 * 20mm autocannon | 1 * 106mm recoilless rifle |
Reload time | 13 seconds (2.17 seconds per gun) | 10 second for 106mm + 7 seconds for 20mm | 10 second |
Ammunition | 18 (+18 in reserve) | 28 | 17 |
Vertical guidance | -10°/+20° | -17°/+65° for 106mm + -6°/+20° for 20mm | -17°/+65° |

Total
M50 has better mobility, better weapons, and better reloading.
SPz-12-3 LGS has smoke, autocannon (it can shoot down low-flying aircraft) and slightly better vertical aiming angles (which cannot be used on every map).
FIAT 6614 is similar to SPz-12-3 LGS, but without autocannon, but with much better mobility.
Opinion
Why do SPz-12-3 LGS increase b.r.? Because of autocannon? Or is it because more professional players play it (because to get this technique you need to understand the basics of the game and at least find Gaijin market)?
On the M50, I have the following statistics: 239 revivals, 226 deaths, 1 aircrafts, 368 vehicles destroyed - 1.63 K/D
On the SPz-12-3 LGS, I have the following statistics: 76 revivals, 67 deaths, 23 aircrafts, 167 vehicles destroyed - 2.83 K/D
Does this mean that the M50 is worse than the SPz-12-3 LGS? No!
I was still playing on the M50 back when I was just starting out and my game was bad!
As example, I decided to go into a “test game” and scored a nuke in first battle! (not without the help of airplane, but these are the details)
P.S. M50 reloads faster (in terms of barrel) than T114. But M50 has 6.7 br and T114 has 7.7! Why?
