In a defensive position the gun handling and round would make it fairly good at least.
Maybe 11.0 will be fine for it.
It may be just… fine, at best, indeed.
But far from OP or good enough to warrant any higher BR. Worse mobility than Challenger 2 OES is… really something.

If you can get into a good position before the games ends or a Leo/Abrams teleports across the map

Oh 11.0 will 100% be fine for it but the problem with this tank is that its one of those tanks with such a major flaw that it will never be good unless its put at an absurdly low BR, which it isn’t at.

Reverse speed has saved me more times than armor has at top tier.
The thing is, I can use reverse speed to my advantage and be fully in control. If I want to use armor to my advantage I have to hope that the enemy isn’t very good, which is out of my control.

T-80UD/BE accelerates better but it’s nothing special, and gets a 6s reload (which is great for a Russian MBT but, again, nothing special for NATO MBTs).
The T-72B3 Arena gets much better gun handling (though again, nothing special for NATO MBTs), 3BM60, and a decent APS system.
I wouldn’t really say it’s inferior to the T-80UD/BE. More like a side-grade. Though I can see where you may want to use the T-80UD/BE over the T-72B3 Arena and vice-versa.
Armour is only a supplement to reverse speed and gun depression.
Without reverse speed and gun depression, you only have armour to rely on instead of natural cover (such as hills / valleys) or buildings.
2A7V has the reverse speed and gun depression AND the armour, which is why it’s so good even after all its nerfs.

I have the Vickers Mk.7 Spaded.
Would you like me to record some data points with it?
My friend also has the Chally DS, which is lighter than the Chally Mk.3 due to not have any add-ons.
Let me know if you would like that too.
Sure :)
Just record yourself going 0-Top Speed in custom battle on cargo port’s highway, and ill take it from there.

Would you like me to record multiple attempts or do you think one video is good enough?
I assume just one considering there won’t really be any random error.
One video is good, however there definitely is a margin of error from driver/instructor RNG, however it is minimal.
Sounds good.
Vickers Mk.7:
Challenger DS:
Are the highways’ terrain modifier any different?
Also TTD while I’m at it I guess:
I do not believe so. Thanks though.

lmao just waiting till u find T-90A at 11.0 with basically better armor and the same dart.
it can only stop ATGMs, anything that’s merely an APFSDS/HEAT-FS it’s unstoppable for the Arena-E.
the T-72B3 from the tech tree is extremely upgraded: it has a modification that allows u to change the engine for a newer and better one + adding ERA iirc, and the T-72B3A is the same but with Relikt ERA and Arena-M which is a better APS system than the one in the event T-72.
12 pcs instead of 8 pcs.
+40 degrees cover instead of just +20 degrees.
Yeah that is a decent improvement.

still an improvement, and the Relikt does it’s job being unpenetrable from the front if u achieve to hide the LFP.
