The reasoning might be odd but 7.7 is actually worse for the XM800T due to 7.7 being BR of the Heavy tanks. At 8.3, however, is a BR where tank sacrafices armor for fire power and mobility, thus making the XM800T able to prey on them more efficiently. Stuff like bmp, Turms III, wiesel, Leopard I, TAM, RakJPz, Marder, etc are food to XM800T and they are found commonly at 8.3
I agree, I always struggles to destroy anything on this BR with the Type 87 RCV (P), and that’s why a few times I force uptier to 8.3 with the Type 87 SPAA.
But good luck penetrating Eastern vehicles like the T-55. The massive gape between the side skirts and the chassis is big enough to reduce the penetration power to impossible to penetrate.

Yea at 8.3 the russian tank are the hardest to kill with XM800T imo cuz their side armor are too thick. Germany at 8.3 are so soft tho, they are my favourite to go up against when i play XM800T at 8.3
It’s fine at 7.7 and it helps finally teams with the USA to get better intel scouting.
USA already has 2 8.3 light tanks, but there was a gap at 7.7 for America before the XM800T

Placing XM800T at 7.7 is perfectly fine. This helps American players build more diverse lineups, whether they’re playing at 7.7 or 8.3.,they can keep it in their lineup and wait for an opportunity to bring it out.
Taking it up to 8.3 might make XM800T a more exclusive vehicle for high-tier players, and higher-tier American players might not welcome XM800T as much as they did at 8.3.

If you want to put it at 8.3 the option to pair it with an 8.3 vehicle is always there. Just like you can do with any vehicle in the game, even reserves.
