For the record, nobody cares about the acceleration, top speed, reverse speed or even gun depression.
Because top tier games always end the same : you’re getting spawnkilled in less than 35 seconds.
So no, the 2S38 is not balanced. Less gun depression, less speed is not a balance equivalence of penetration / armor / reload speed
Your point being
Because Russia bias
th 2S38 is pure pain, at least you can safely go hull down with good depression with the HSYV-L
If you are trying to hull down with an autocannon ifv, you are probably doing it wrong. Especially when you have the pen numbers to lfp most of the vehicles you fight. If you haven’t learned how to use -5 gun depression by 10.3 russia, you won’t find success in any russian vehicle no matter how OP it is.
It’s supposed to be an AA vehicle at the origins. It’s normal it has bad gun depression.
There is no need to lower its BR that significantly. It has to go 12.0 all the way.
11.3 is too high of a BR.
And no, only players that want unfair placement would be happy with 11.3.
Also it doesn’t remove scouting: Wiesel.
Also, it’s not a SPAA exclusively IRL. It’s a multirole light vehicle.
Also F-18A is more OP than 2S38.
Close quarters maps where there’s no where to hide the side armor of T-series tanks.
have you ever been against that thing when its hull down?
It makes sense if the IFV has a non humanized turret though.
You can harass people’s barrel and tracks without risking your crew members, scout, and even kill on the side if you flank.
And again, At the risk of repeating myself, but I am right… None of the ones you mentioned are -1 whole BR lower, as is the case with the 2s38, which is currently 10.3 when it should be at BR 11.3. It’s one thing to say that a vehicle is strong at its BR, but it’s another to point out that a vehicle is OP like the 2s38
EDIT: typo fixed
Also F-18A is more OP than 2S38？？？？？
What a joke
eh, its not that strong. It has no deck armor. HE, HESH, or HEAT will all overpressure the crew. Thats the point though, you can’t take a hit like every ifv and shouldn’t be sitting around at long distance hull down. You have a ttk comparable to almost any other mbt with lfp hits. Half of what you face you can center mass. Almost no other autocannon can do that. That hull down is your requirement for an autocannon ifv is absurd.
That is correct, if we multiply you by 16 and put you and all your clones into the same team, then your team gets steamrolled regardless of which nation you play. You can pick the so-called OP as hell vehicles and you still get steamrolled, because the problem isn’t the vehicles.
If it is acceptable for OTOMATIC to have BR 11.3, it is also acceptable for 2s38 to have BR 11,3.
I am sorry, but the manufacturer of 2s38 has classified it as SPAA.
False equivalence fallacy.
OTOMATIC is not a 2S38, and 2S38 is not an OTOMATIC.
Compare 2S38 to its actual class of vehicles: VCC-80/60, Begleitpanzer, HSTVL, RDF/LT, Strf 9040C, Ajax, etc…
And no, the manufacturer has classified the vehicle as multi-role.
The thing is, the 2S38 isn’t worthy of being above 11.0, and neither is the otomatic.
And it’s well known, I have 15 clones already on this earth. They always play with me, and that’s the reason why I constantly see NATO teams loosing under a minute at 12.7 GRB.
And no, the manufacturer has classified the vehicle as SPAA… Just because you want it to be a multi-role vehicle doesn’t mean it becomes one.
Could’ve been simply gained maybe, there’s also a weakspot on the leopard 2’s cheeks where the gunner sight is, it’s about one pixel big, but it’s possible to accidentally hit it
