The R3 is the perfect counter to the EBR: it’s slightly faster and can easily camp popular flanking spots, and can dispense 100 flaming noodles and render it immobile faster than most Medium tanks at 4.3 can.

The R3 T20 is why I stopped playing war Thunder. I loved just taking out the funny things and my absolute favourite was brawling with the asu57. The moment every single match had them spammed with them being at a lower BR and light years better in every single way, that was the final kick I needed to stop playing the game. I know you can play the ASU as a sniper, but that takes what made it so special in my heart and makes you play it in the exact same way as any other tank destroyer.

Heh, it took them how long to raise it from 3.7 to 4.0? I doubt any more is gunna happen, maybe some tinkering with shell pen, ammo belt size and reload times, maybe repair costs. They're very defensive regarding criticism over possible errors in BR placements. Plus it's suitability in "events" that include tasks to capture points attract less skilled (More risk taking? Less team focused?) players who just leave the game after getting killed once, making those precious statistics that Gaijin base everything on probably show the thing as actually under performing.

[@mad_maxj65]

Before volumetric it was a good tank and i loved it , now its a pain to play

[@combatantezoteric2965]

@@mad_maxj65 I agree the br is definitely too high. Gaijin keeps thinking that any vehicle with a gun and rounds with a lot of explosive mass deserve to compete with vehicles which have everything better: armour, mobility, penetration. The same can be said for tanks like kv85, is1 and t-34 ( though vastly more superior vehicles than what gaijn gave italy at those brs). But the fact is that the APHE round of the p40 only has 70mm of pen which is barely enough in this game, especially now with volumetric update like you said and the heat one has less pen than those of america and germany at the same br It could easily go down to 2.7 since it's not like at that br other nations don't have incredibly OP vehicles: french and americans have the sherman 105 which has tiger like armour and a round with 130mm pen with low reload and good mobility, the Germans have the sdkfz 234 with a lot of mobility, survivability and great gun.
