i mean it won’t stop it changing in rank, BTR-80A went from Rank IV (maybe even III) on the dev server to Rank 5 on release, just wait for the dev server

Only reason why it would be at rank 5 is this
While yeah a laser rangefinder is cool
AP shells for a 20mm are going to be really really REALLY bad

Welp, this means the SEPv3 most likely won’t be added next update despite how badly it is needed
It’s not really needed, at least until other nations can get tanks compareable to even the base SEP
Every nation outside of Russia, Sweden, and Germany needs new top tier tanks. The SEPv1 is one of the better tanks that aren’t Russian, Swedish, or German, but that isn’t saying much at all.
thre isnt much difference between the existing SEP models anyway, an extra M1A2 to add to a lineup isn’t going to do much, if you want to fix america sit on your bug reports and maybe try and remove all the level 8 retards that plague top tier USA
Hull DU armor, APS, and better DU armor everywhere would do much?
enough of this offtopic

I’ve been looking forward to this one for a long time and here it is!
Thank you so much!
Very excited to see this in-game! Hopefully it’s around 7.3/7.7.
?? What offtopic (I’m lazy to scroll)
So it’s the M601 API-T round, it’s a tungsten core AP basically that’s 111g, with an 85.5g core that has an MV of 1100m/s. Here’s its pen if it’s APCR
And if it’s AP

It certainly looks like APCR
And I just remembered that the R3 T20 has M601 HVAP in-game. Your numbers match, which is quite cool.

That’s… actually good to be honest
Considering that the LAV-AD has a sort of similar pen with its SAP round, you basically have a similar damage profile (but not output) at a considerably low BR (my bet is between 7.3 and 7.7 since it will realistically fill the gap between the T92 and the M551)
Amazing mobility,good pen,fully stabilised and LRF,man this thing will be nasty
I’d still rather have APDS…

Depends on what BR gap they want it to fill
I think it will be good either way. It’s a fast scout that doubles as AA, which is quite nice.

Yeah it’s going to be really really bad at any BR over 3.0. AP/APCR of that caliber does basically no damage
Well yeah,if it faces the usual 7.3/7.7 shenanigans, APDS is needed when facing heavy tanks
But we just witnessed how the Fox broke Hell at 7.0,and even now at 7.7 is very strong with its APDS round. Having basically a better Fox at the same BR not only is a death sentence for the Fox,but another death sentence for the tanks at that BR.
My guess? 3 belts: Standard with a 1:1 ratio of HEFI-T and API-T, Armored with a 3:1 ratio of API-T/HEFI-T and air targets with a 3:1 ratio of HEFI-T/API-T, just like the Vulcan on the M163
In the devblog it is worded “belts”,meaning it is not a single continuous belt bur rather different magazines with definite belts,meaning you can bring 2 types of ammo maximum.

the APCR is so bad it can barely even penetrate most mid WW2 mediums from the side

That’s true, but it’s rank five so I’m guessing T92 and m551 so that’s 7.0+ right there
Yeah.
That’s what I’m worried about
