Well usually they aren’t intended to be played as snipers, if you manage a good enough flank, you can reach the weaker side armor of stuff while simultaneously staying safe from return fire in the process; it’s a pretty basic concept as far as light vehicle gameplay goes.
True but its a risk and to be honest a bit of fun if you are bored.I am just saying that Gaijin will throw any vehicle into the fray for the hell of it and in many occasions the out come is exactly what you would expect in reality.A lot of Bradley’s got lost in reality.They gained respect from troops who thanked God they weren’t walking and that is about it.
I think some players expect too much from certain vehicles especially now the maps are becoming narrow and with great zones marked off limits in a way that you don’t know until you get there,then you realise your sniping spot is gone and you are left holding the baby in a useless lightweight.
Some vehicles are a big gamble but sure often a fun gamble but don’t complain in the very likely event of it going belly up.
Fair take, when they work they work pretty well, as you don’t have to worry about such things as volumetric, but generally the map design has gotten more cramped and confined over the years, which diminish these “fault-proof” traits of having an automatic cannon.
Personally I think I’d still like to see some larger autocannons (50mm, 57mm, 40mm) in addition to fixes to the ones we already have. The map design issue is a different one entirely that can affect vehicles of all classes, not just flankers.

Today I tried to play with Bradley, its autocannon is not capable of harming even light armored vehicles. I just shoot and the modules turn yellow. They weakened Bradley so much that now he can’t even penetrate an infantry fighting vehicle.

Yes, a large box that detonates from any hit.

As they did in reality and too often. Also in reality those auto cannons did some damage to the M1s in friendly fire situations but is that enough to get multi kills in the game? I am struggling to get kills now in anything other that most armoured of vehicles.I played a few games on a friends PC and up the BR levels its even harder of course.Its about being seen and taking damage if you can instead of playing clever ,hiding and moving.No space for that and little cover.
There seems to be no hiding places anymore.They are squeezing the fun out of the game from every possible angle

if you set a key, then press the key and roll the scroll in mouse at the same time you can do that much faster
nah wtf bm31-12 is something i can only dream about, 300mm rockets are insanely powerful, so far i have made 4900 kills with the 150mm panzerwerfer, if i had that MLRS it would be so much fun and absolutely destroy the opposite teams unfortunately its not for sale in market place which is truly sad
related to the topic, the worst tank i’ve played is rakatenjagdpanzer 2 HOT bcoz it fails in many aspects and seems to be poorly designed for combat, PT-76B bcoz of it’s awful fire rate, and LVT which is way too ugly in design and seems to be specifically made for infantry transport through rivers and support in case of emergency rather than fighting other armored vehicles directly
Adding another addition to this bumped topic:
The 8.0 MBTs of Germany / Italy / USA that are unstabilised, boring, and limited to strict playstyles. They’re not bad vehicles per say if you play them right, but I can’t think of anything worse to waste my time on. Especially when you can jump in a Falcon or something similar at 8.3 and melt those MBTs before they even get their unstabilised gun on you (unless they’re having a snooze fest camping away).

the french full 1.3 lineup is pretty decent, you’ve SPAA, a tank destroyer with +100mm of pen and the new 47mm gun is decent.
Almost all of the 1.0 tanks yeah they suck
Most of the FW-190 As except the A-1 since they have no high alt performance and can only really roll well, since diving is out of the question due to not being able to reach for alt to compress enemies
Stock MiG-23M
yes, basically all of the 1.0/reserve french tanks are the worst. 1.3 is about 10% better
They are still the worst tanks to play in the entire game, and its not close.

Su7 and su17m4 which im not even gonna try to spade cuz its su17m2 performnce but a full br higher and its not like su17m2 is amazing but atleast it got good missiles against flareless planes
Right now it’s the Skink from the Hell on Wheels bundle. Straight up junk. Almost makes me regret purchasing the bundle. Should have came with a different SPAA but what that would be I have no idea.
Mig-19…
Homeopathic ammount of ammo and missiles that track just as good as HVARs.
It has speed like F-104, but no teeth.
