I always wondered why these where 8.3 when the weasel was 7.3, but ive been playing 7.7 russia recently and found out why, at least I have 50 cals on these tanks but that vehicle is an absolute black hole for fusing shells, shot the engine and somehow didnt knock out the crew with spall or explosion. These things terrify me.
Also wish russia would have put a stablizer on the btr we have in game, kinda miserable without one. BR increase wouldnt matter since it honestly performs better in uptiers than downtiers because of how many heavies are present at the lower brs.
i mean btr-80 w stablizer would be the biggest rat ever
also the pen isnt even that good, id rather use bradley over that
its also has no armor and slow
u can 50 cal it
Well do i have good news for you, it exists and is called the BTR-82A, even has thermals!
HSTV-L is in an another league when compared to BMP-2M.
When AAs are around, FnF helicopters are easily better than Kamovs, that’s not even up to discussion.
they are in different league of their own yeah
Bad turn rate would stop that from happening…
Also the BTR-90A with Berezhok weapon system exists, which would be a BMP-2M on a BTR-80 chassis.
HSTV-L is a black hole, while a single hit on the new BMP-2 model means you die, no matter what.
Lower profile, proven system in game, and overall better option as the BTR-90 also has better mobility over the BTR-80, and I think I remember reading somewhere it got neutral steer.
yeah bmp2 fragile for sure
still the thing is kinda annoying
I’ve played it a lot recently and it’s good if you catch people off guard, but if they remotely expect you might as well just J out and get in a different vehicle.
lmao
Also, the BTR-80 is paper
a non issue imo, i quite liked playing the current BTR-80A, just give me the BTR-82A for the stab and i’m happy
is 2 uptier was one of the stupidest br changes ever lol.
i wonder why they didnt add the btr 82a first, btr 80 was essentially DOA, btr 82 wouldve been actually fun.
my hope is that its comes together with Thai btr4e once that update drops
does it improve on the armor?
Why would you care about armor in an ifv besides maybe stopping 50cal, but then the trade off is more spall and fusing rounds so its not even a direct upgrade.
Id rather it be made of paper lol, as long as the systems in place in game are how they are, which is kinda dumb at this point i feel way more confident taking on mbts than light tanks in anything with a reload.
btr 80 can be extremely easily 50 called id rather not
