Not really, I just highly dislike any vehicle that gets it’s barrel pushed up to the moon after hitting a curb, let alone other terrain with literally any inclination.
Also, IFVs as a type are pretty much dogshit once MBTs start catching up in terms of mobility and response times, as that was literally their selling point in lower tiers, where MBTs usually lacked in those departments all the while having meh at best FCSs and shells.
The amount of absolute handholding IFVs got in terms of legitimate wall hack aka scout drones just shows to what extend they have to be buffed in order for them to have any viability for spawning.
It’s been a trend to see people with absolutely no USSR experience or with 0.6 K/Ds absolutely glazing vehicles like BMP-2M or 2S38 for some odd reason.
I’ve yet to see anyone perform exceptionally well (in comparison to his account average) in those two, but yet they’re literally bashing them here.
It’s also been a trend for people who use it that have a 6.0 KD to glaze it. BMP-2M is cracked at targeting Helis and Tanks from long range. I have 2.0 KD (yea I know, not the best) in it. 2S38, don’t get me started on that thing. Helis? Gone. Planes? Evaporated. Random Light Tanks? Eviscerated. People tend to forget that the 2S38 isn’t a light tank, it’s an SPAA. Scary MBT rushing you? ESS and Shoot the barrel once or twice, switch to APHE and boom one shot.
Do you still find russian tanks fun and/or viable?
First or all I am NOT a USSR main,
However, I found Grinding the Ground tree that at least until BR 8.0, but likely until BR 10.3 the TT is quite strong and games are quite enjoyable if you’ve gotten over the fact that your gun ain’t gonna get any depression and reverse is not an option
I personally found especially the lower half of ranks much more Enjoyable than other TTs I’ve ground like the Swedish one with it’s lack of lineups and the German one with it’s lack of Usable teammates
Russian experience: get vaporized by 4 out of 5 rounds that pen you… get that one round that doesn’t kill you and just completely disables you giving you a 45sec repair… guy who disabled you sits there shooting round after round into your angled UFP despite you LFP and side being exposed, you finish repairing and line up his weak spot, he still doesn’t think to shoot your gun barrel, you kill him… He screams “Russian bias” in the chat and rage quits the game.
He obviously played it on his stepmoms account and the stats there are just bad because his little sister usualy plays and dies to the enemy on purpose to lower russian winrates.
Pretty much sums up one of my numerous experiences with UD for example but one stood out. Was having a corner fight with a Leo 2K and ofc since my reverse speed is OP I wasnt able to move out of the way and he shot my track and engine and kept shooting it 17!!! TIMMES SEVENTEEN!! and didnt kill me ofc, all he had to do is move 5 meters to the side and get my LFP but noooo, lets keep shooting into the same spot for 17 times, thaat will get him. Long story short he died, mate came in helped me repair and we killed him lol
Still waiting to meet that mythical creature which has above account average stats in either of those two. Statshark stats after millions of games played also tells us those two are far from being local bullies.
You having around 2.0 K/D in it isn’t impressive seeing how you have similar (or even better) stats in many other high tier vehicles.
2S38 has worse AA performance than a 9.0 M247, which at 10.3 isn’t anything special. It’s an AA and most gun based AAs can shred light tanks as well, so your mythification of the said system doesn’t hold any ground.
Telling something is brokenly OP while having shitty stats in it doesn’t make much sense to me, which is why I’m calling out all those people.
