Why NATO IFVs autocannons are so BAD?

I heard that the 9040 used to be able to fire all its ammunition in one go, but it was later changed to having only 24 rounds of reserve ammo. Why is that?

He is right though.

He is not. For both air and ground.

France 100% has one of the most competent ground lineups at the moment (and for quite a while now really).
Good MBT’s, second best AA after IRIS-T, one of the best light tanks, some of the best planes and an IRCCM heli.
What else do you want ?

At what BR? Because he (and now you) are implying this is universally true and it is not.

  1. Leclerc is not in the top half of top tier MBTs, assuming you mean this.
  2. Most french MBTs prior to the Leclercs are pretty garbage at their BRs. See: AMX-30B2, AMX-30Brenus, AMX-32 105, AMX-32. AMX-40 is ok but not great.

I assume you mean Jaguar? Spike-like missiles are pretty garbage currently and the Jaguar is BMPT food.

Again, at what BRs? Rafale, yes, what else?

Can’t wait for you to tell me “oh I meant explicitly top tier but implied the entire nation was like this”

You are right, i was speaking of top tier.
11.3 is also quite broken if you like CAS, the Mirage2000 is untouchable.

Maybe not for a bad player, Leclerc is a very good tank.

Yes the Jaguar. Those BMPT you can actually delete quite nice with the Jaguar if you don’t try to head tank them.

All the Mirage 2000 are very good as well.

I usually don’t care for BR lower then around 10/11

Not better than the Leopard 2s, Abrams, STRV 122s, Type 90/10s, or the T-80BVM. That puts it basically as the best of the worst MBTs. It was also heavily power crept even more lately with russians getting reload buffs to 6 seconds which is only 1s faster than the French. They were power crept previously with NATO MBTs besides the Leopard types getting a universal 5 second reload anyway.

No logic found. Jaguar is BMPT food. BMPT instantly 1 taps you the second it sees you, your main gun struggles to deal with them frontally, and side on their ERA will eat multiple shots before it will allow you to pen it, often resulting in you dying to the BMPT swinging around and insta-railgunning you with the APDS. You also can’t claim something is strong if you can’t engage it frontally. Everything has the chance to win a fight when it starts at an advantage, but even then the Jaguar is not always going to win due to the above factors.

No lineup

Whatever, if you say france bad i let you believe that.
Why would i care…

This forum is used to discuss the game. You just don’t want to accept that I disagree.

Yea and this discussion will go in a circle as they usually go, so.

So don’t reply with "wah wah, why would I care :( " and just end the discussion.

I am correct.

Yep, I am. I gave reasons. You did not. Figure it out.

Either from documentation or because 9040s would eat up a lot of MBTs if they didn’t have to be conscious of their 24 round limitation, I’d easily take it to top tier to keep slapping down T90-T80 since RU is all I ever really fight.

It doesn’t have apfsds russian boy, go your research

BMPT is op enough, no more bs is allowed. Thank you for your consideration on that mater

Tired to be rushed by 11 BMPTs each game and to loose under 45s of gameplay.

You mean than thin paper armor lacking its main apfsds round we call the Leclerc?

Really? because from what I’ve seen the gun can use it, it just requires a different muzzle brake, not exactly a complex modification, to fix the accuracy issues it causes.
Now whether or not it’s actually issued and deployed, that’s a separate issue.

The BMPT uses a different feed mechanism that does not work with the 3UBR11 APFSDS
