I regularly up tier this to around 9.7 and it does just ok, not very spectacular, but not useless either. If you compared it to the Leo 2K, you basically trade some of the firepower on the main gun, and put it on the 30mm coax. The 30mm and the 20mm of the Leo 2K have similar pen, but the HE filler in the 30mm is mental and if you can pen something it will likely be killed instantly, opposed to the APCR of the 20mm EDIT: I also hate how when you try to spray something with the 30mm, like a cannon barrel, you're basically blind firing because the muzzle flash of the auto cannon is visible when using sniper mode of the main gun
