The RDF/LT was an entirely private venture by AAI, not a government program. It was submitted to the MPG/MPWS program which later evolved into the AGS program. The cannon was supposed to penetrate the most modern Soviet tanks as they were developed, but ultimately couldn't keep up. The tank was supposed to be helicopter-transportable, I have no idea where the notion of putting the XM274 on helicopters comes from. The price was not deemed too high, the Army and Marine Corps concluded that the XM274 wasn't optimal for the program and wasn't worth setting up new production lines for. The 76mm RDF/LT was designed as an export venture far before the RDF/LT was disqualified for the MPG/MPWS/AGS program.
Because the US had underestimated how thick Soviet tanks were going to be from the front, when the gun program, MC-AAAC, began the US thought the T-72 would only have a protection equivalent to about 320mm.
the 2s38 isnt better than the rdfl or hstvl its far less survivable and crazy big in comparison also it has no depression unless the hstvls that has loads and is basically unkillable in a hull down position
2s38 have no survivability, no gun depression, no speed, no damage and penetration. YES, 2s38 is toxic in some specific situations. But not imbalanced, it’s not even “good”, it’s bad. I agree that it HSTVL/RDF shouldn’t be on 11.7.
Adding Spookston's favorite vehicle in existence, in such a pathetic state that he was infuriated and advised against buying/playng it. That is peak Gaijin.
I like how they didn't name the fire rate of the cannon mounted on the RDFLT and the HSTVL because if they named it then more people would ask why the HSTVL's reload is still incorrect.
They mention it’s great for aggressive play, yet it lacks the tools it needs to be aggressive. No smoke, it can be side penned by coax machine guns, they even mention that the IRL version used a diesel, but in game, it has a turbine engine noise. Avoid this tank until it gets those buffs.
@ 0.5s reload 57mm cannon with APHE, Proxy HE and APFSDS with comparable pen to the RDF and HSTV, with IRST, and a Drone, good manoeuvrability, decent survivability to high pen low spalling rounds.
@Willtabixx APHE makes the 2S38 8.3: PT-76-57. Proxy HE makes the 2S38 9.3: M247. APFSDS that's notably worse than HSTVL's makes it 10.3. It doesn't have IRST, it has IRT which again makes it 9.3 which it isn't. Drone is every light tank. All you've done is prove that 2S38 should be 10.3 unless you're arguing to lower its BR because of APHE and proxy rounds.

@@ArchontProtossno damage and pen? Are you joking? I've seen low level players in 2S38's destroy entire lobbies. If it spots you before you spot it, you're already dead.
Just a list of things u still have to fix gaijin. Revving engine noise has been going on for about a month its rly annoying when u try to listen for enemy tanks. Solid shot moments as we call them. Its when a solid shot pennetrates a tank but doesnt do any dameage at all. The churchill now somehow has dirt flying to the side when u drive with it. When u spawn in ur tank doesnt make any sound untill u drive for about a secobd with it dont know if this has also to do with the revving engine problems. Barrle health is just one clusterfuqq all together. 1 barle is comepletely out after you hit it once while u have to hit the other 17 times for it to turn yellow. Tires disform when driving over uneven train on some maps for exemple the ww1 map. Bombers are way to weak to actually have a chance u can easily make them more durable and tell the whining pple that say i dont wanna waste all my ammo on one kill to that just simply not go for bombers or wait till the end of the match. Also an option to make the planr have more drag when hit as it would do in reall life making it slower. This is more a personal opinion then a problem to solve tho. Heat shells disapear sometimes for no reason. On some maps cars and bushes eat the whole shell when u shoot at it a car might stop one or 2 20mm rounds but not a 17 pounder round gaijin. And lastly planes are way to easy to spawn only needing a single kill or assist wich is way to easy to do. Its ground RB not air RB. You can keep ignoring our tips and comments but its your money income in the end of the day that u make of it. Motible pple groups and clans are with me when i say that if there were concurrents we would be long gone gaijin. Wich means no more money to be made cus more and more pple walk away from your game. If you want warthunder to still be a thing in 2030 i suggest listening to the comments and fixing more than adding more stuff to the game.
Don't why this thing gets a 0.9s reload and the HSTV-L gets a 1.0s reload, it doesn't make any sense. Its just a worser HSTV-L that only difference being the ammo count.
Can you please change the requirement for unlocking the Australian leopard a1a1 skin I really want the skin but I don’t have the tank yet and I won’t have enough time to unlock 🙏
yall buff Lvrbv 701 its at 9.7 BR and comparable to the russian anti air thats at 9.3 its wayy worse since the russian one has guns AND lock on missles AND a radar while the swedish one doesnt even have an actual radar and the missles are laser controlled... you get the point make it like 8.7 or atleast 9 br
Hey could you give the AI in assault ground arcade default amo it's like were fighting good players with tier 4 or 5 tank and it's also like they have aim bot and know we're the weak spots are I keep losing to them
Where is air rb EC, gaijin? Why do we still not have any new game modes despite this game being like 12 years old? They can’t keep getting away with this.
They have almost no tanks of their own making, would probably be another copy paste lineup same as for the dutch vechilles couple nice ones but not enough for a tech tree. Would love if they added the polish tankette to the british tree as the polish sherman is also in that tree

hi spookston
Bro respond pretty quick.
Btw hi spookstoon, can you play the MBT/KPZ-70 or the XM803, and talk about the apfsds round being nerfed so badly...
Probably they somehow mess the script or maybe the translation missled them for the helicopter part
o7
Spookston dropping facts!
You know Spookston is still pissed right?
:O
It's the wrong bullet bro they gave it the weakest bullet it could possibly have
this is still.... yeah xD
@JacksonBohne I’m well aware. Spookston is still pissed, this being a reason why
Literally clicked the video just to like this comment
"expected to front pen even modern tanks" So why isnt that in the game when Spookston has repeatedly shown it has performance on the level of M774?
Because the US had underestimated how thick Soviet tanks were going to be from the front, when the gun program, MC-AAAC, began the US thought the T-72 would only have a protection equivalent to about 320mm.
@@STGN01 The shell in game drastically under-performs still
And why the RDF is 11.7 and the 2S38 is 10.3? They both need to be the same br either 11.7 or 10.3 because they are functionaly the same
Even ignoring that 2S38 is atleast 5 times better
Not to mention RDF doesn't even have smoke grenade

make 2s38 11.7 as well
You Russians need to stop attacking US equipment. RDF is superior, get over it. Russia will NEVER make anything as good as the RDF.
