HSTV-L 14-0. The Great Beach Disaster (For The Enemy Team)

[@ElMerz18]

The day Gaijin adds the missing 100mm of pen, I'm going to cream out of happiness

[@eliradinsky7088]

Scream?

@@eliradinsky7088 I meant what I said

[@Ando0o0o]

what if they added the missing pen AND increased the spall?

@@Ando0o0o More like revert the spall parameters from what it is now back to long_rod.

[@Kwisss]

RDF/LT and HSTV-L still need; - XM885 missing 200 m/s of velocity - XM885 missing M774 levels of penetration - Revert XM885's spall properties back to long_rod which would make it spall better. It's a telescopic round (meaning it takes up 90ish% of the cartridge) and is housed in a ~405 mm cartridge - Could give it Delta 6 (430 mm of penetration) - RDF armor is incorrect and missing its applique armor package which would give it resistance to 57 mm autocannon frontally and 14.5 mm side on - RDF is missing smokes. - * For all tanks with turret baskets - they shouldn't be apart of the horizontal drive or affect it much. Yes one would assume it would get jammed but its thin sheets of metal. There's more but I forgot. Though like any change, it usually only comes in when it involves money. Surprise they didn't implement the Abrams turret ring fix bug report that was accepted (volumetric ~300mm + fixing a gap) and hydraulic pump if they sell M1 KVT and Clickbait like hot cakes.

[@hatze4120]

I can't find any images on applique armor package

[@morgus9892]

Hydraulic pump was changed, it no longer does anything but they left the line going to it that still counts as turret drive and will get disabled if damaged...

[@TachyonXCIX]

I assume this is one of the things you forgot, but for both of them they could also make the minimum crew one person like the Strv103. So as long as one of the crew members in the hull is alive the vehicle would be usable and you wouldn't need to wait for a crew replacement timer. Also for the person in the comments wondering about the RDF/LT applique armor, Spookston's RDF/LT complaint video has an image of it with along other inaccuracies.

youtubers always get the paid actor enemies that you only get when theyre on your team

[@raizencore]

This A defense was honestly perfect!

[@teyyo9745]

Oh it would be SO DEVASTATING if they gave the RDF/LT smokes!!! It would just be too op!!! I honestly don’t understand Gaijins logic

[@prinzabubu]

Craziest cap defense I have ever seen

[@reinyfrost3753]

Problem with the HSTV-L is that you need a lot of ammo due to the lack of spalling and penetration from the rounds. For T-Series MBTs, it may take two shots, maybe three if you're shooting at a T-90M. However, for NATO MBTs, you usually would need to take three to four, sometimes even five shots to kill. With that ammo efficiency, as well as taking 3 rounds of Proxy to maybe kill one aircraft, you'd only be getting around 4-6 kills before you have to find a capture point to reload. If it had more ammo, or a better round that did more spalling and had more penetration, then it would be perfectly fine at 11.7 or even 12.0 for the latter. Right now, I think it would be more reasonable at 11.3 than anything. Same with the CV90120 and the Centauro 120. In this game, you were pretty lucky that you were able to get onto the capture point first, had pretty unaware / oblivous enemies, as well as the capture point being pretty perfect for being hull-down. Although, that mostly came down to skill in the end.

cavenub are you swedish? or is the akut button universal?

Also what is it with you and Ket cooking up wild names?

[@judgement4934]

Such a balanced and fair tank

[@christopherchartier3017]

And it’s still underperforming

[@bokoblinlogic1619]

It IS balanced, sits at too high a BR while the 2s38 exists at 10.3

[@judgement4934]

@bokoblinlogic1619 2s38 is a fucking joke. Hstv with its ungodly gun depression and is somehow able to survive side shots, that's balanced??

[@bokoblinlogic1619]

@@judgement4934 yes, since it had very few round for its fire rate and is very lightly armored. It’s also doesn’t have good thermals, and the post pen damage isn’t good. The 2s38 has a higher fire rate, better thermals, more rounds, and can carry APCBC. My friend, who has both, agrees that the 2s38 is better and is at way too low of a BR. I have also never had issues dealing with an HSTVL, but have had issues dealing with the 2s38 because of its higher fire rate and APCBC.

[@judgement4934]

@bokoblinlogic1619 everytime I face a 2s38 I just point at it and click and it'll die 100% of the time. Everytime I face a Hstv it either 1 shots me using its maximum gun depression in a stupid spot or I shoot it 3 times and it doesn't die like a paper tank is supposed to. I'm starting to feel like you guys are just some of those "Russian OP and America not Op" type of people

[@phantom_ii4594]

Is the HSTV-L really better than the RDF/LT? It seems they're rather equal, however one trades mobility for more ammo.

[@taj2332]

The rdflt is better just because of how much ammo it can hold

[@akiara8491]

@@taj2332no lol

[@taj2332]

@akiara8491 gonna say why? The hstvl is held back alot by how little ammo it can carry

[@akiara8491]

@ the rdflt is literally slower than most of the mbts it goes against and as a light tank that kind of sucks big ass

[@taj2332]

@akiara8491 the mobility is obviously an issue, yes, but the fact it can hold double the amount of ammo while having a faster reload then the hstvl makes it much more versatile

MASSIVE SKILL ISSUES HOLY SHIT

[@zolarien]

This the try hard and skill diff reason why high br will NEVER be fixed xD

[@SRDPS2]

Tryhard exist in every BR (especially low tier) Top tier (especially 8.0 - 10.0) is so trash because everything just sooo fast and gun that pen anywhere (at least 8.0 - 10.0) Which everyone effectively play light tank in small map
