Well my username is meant to be ironic so when i kill someone in game they get ragebaited
The 2s38 is a very capable vehicle for any road, and possesses a penetration capacity far superior to any other top-tier box
You forgot to mention that its faster, more manouverable and has better stats overall compared to the Shilka
F-15A/J going to 12.7 is insane. You’re telling me that this plane with 4 AIM-9Ms + 4 AIM-7M loadout (AAM-3 on F-15J), powerful engines and flight model, and 240 CMs is somehow equal to the base MiG-29 (27ER + 60Ms), F-16AJ (literally just 2 7Fs + AIM-9Ls), and Mirage 2000C-S5???
It is literally lower than the Mirage 4000, MiG-29G, the Tornado F.3, F-5TH, JAS39A, etc, lower than the equivalent Su-27 and J-11 which have incompetent radar and RWR, unlike the F-15. If this was Russian, forums and SNS would be blowing up with accusations of bias. But it’s US, so it barely gets attention, and Gaijin effectively withdraws into a position of appeasement in lieu of balance.
By the way, none of the planes mentioned here have ARH missiles (except for F-5TH with 30 CMs, weak radar, and a whopping 4 missiles in total (max 2 Derby missile)). Most have inferior flight performance, the French ones have worse radar missiles (and less overall), and few have on and on. The more parameters you compare overall, the worse it gets. There’s no excuse for this stupidity.

Sure, but you stated that its ‘good enough’ when the RFLTD is more mobile…
Both Mi-8s having the same battlerating is unjustified. The Mi-8TV (the Soviet one) at 8.0 is okay-ish, but it could have stayed at 8.3.
The Mi-8TV (the German one) has worse missiles: they have less range and less explosive filler; but 7.7 would be too low when compared to other 7.7 helis with missiles. The difference of range is 1 km and it matters when facing radar spaas.
In the German tree, the Mi-8TV should replace the Alouette II as it has now a lower br. While I’m at it, I suggest a decrease of the total amount of RPs needed to unlock all the modifications on helis: it should be equivalent to the amount or RPs needed to do the same for a tank of the same battlerating.

It is still mobile enough to be that br though. It doesnt need to be the best at everything
Yes, it’s clear that you’re playing with Russia

loud and proud
this comment literally shows the mentality of russian players. You are saying a br change is not fair because it is not the best at its br at something…

So mobility is the reason for it moving to 12.7?
Shilka doesn’t get APHE nor is it remotely as fast.

It dies to 1 shot of anything 20mm+ and cant even disable my Japanese tanks 90% of the time before I kill them, L2A4s are basically immune to it frontally, and it’s mobility is lacking for a light tank, I don’t think going to 10.7 will kill it but it’s sure as hell not 12.0+ worthy like you claimed

No it is mobile enough to say “it cant be that br because of that mobility”
yeah, but it can kill anyone with a single shot too
Saying that 2S38 should be higher than HSTV-L is peak WT forum.

Changes are a joke and I knew that they wouldn’t listen to the ‘feedback’ the community provided in that topic. Thousands of replies for nothing. I don’t know why the community does it to itself.

I dont find it would need to be higher, but i wouldnt be opposed to it.
So you want it HIGHER than the HSTV-L and RFL-TD because its mobility is good enough to warrant and BR increase? Do you OWN it?
Or if you are too touchy with Russian stuff, we can compare the AMX-30 S DCA with its new 53mm pen to the German Gepard at 8.7 which still has 127mm pen with APDS belt… Removing that belt was unnecessary, but if they do it, it is mandatory to lower AMX-30 S DCA 's BR…
