Now waiting on the round fixes and other things; - XM885 missing 200 m/s of velocity - XM885 isn't M774 levels of penetration (its weaker than M735 and M464 76 mm from the M41D which was the same gun used on the exported weaker round bull dog armed RDF variant) - change spall properties back to long_rod (it's labeled as a long rod in the brochure + telescopic round encompassing 95% of a 430 mm long casing) - could get its delta 6 round (430 mm) These buffs would also go to the RDF/LT as they use the same cannon. *This one is for interior modeling in general but the turret ring basket shouldn't be apart of the turret ring module for many vehicles. I understand it may jam the turret drive if parts of the basket is warped but its made out of thin metal and would be easily crushed by the drive. Forgot the others... The issue with getting a new round or even a round buff is it might entice them to put it at 12.0. They don't want a premium "top tier" 12.0 vehicle to avoid being called out for having top tier premiums even though we have 11.7 ones.
@wee3ty162 the weak spots would still be very similar ngl, when I play the hstvl I don't find pen to be a issue. The Spall would be nice but it would make the rdf Lt more brain dead
I'd much rather have 2 second reload but actually good damage round so I don't have to pinpoint every crew member in a leopard 2a7 and one that doesn't disappear when it hits relikt at a 90 degree angle
True, but I think there are things you can do more with 1s reload. 1s reload means that you can shoot more targets at a time, especially useful from the rear and sometimes more useful from the side than a 2s reload with a good dart. You can mitigate the problem of first dart disappearing from T-90M side ERA by just shooting the lower part of the hull, where it is weakest and where the ammo is. 2A7V is the only real problem, and I'd have to agree with you that a 2s reload with better spalling dart would be prefered for the most part.
@@reinyfrost3753 yes, I know about ERA, only problem that it is a pretty small area(if we are talking carousel, engine is exposed) and if there are any obstacles or/and the target is moving this becomes pretty complicated to pull off and any T with that armor turns into a brick with few weak points. And even then the carousel quite often detonates with no effect. Adding to that the fact that hstvl can be mged by soviet .50 Shooting barrels is unreliable as ever, sometimes even those same 90 degree shots are consumed especially if the enemy turns the turret to you while you shoot the barrel. Just you average volumetric things.
I feel like if they just made a bigger HSTVL with more armor and perhaps a slightly bigger gun, you’d have one of the best frontally protected vehicles in game. Or maybe I’m too drunk, maybe too drunk

- XM885 isn't M774 levels of penetration (its weaker than M735 and M464 76 mm from the M41D which was the same gun used on the exported weaker round bull dog armed RDF variant)
- change spall properties back to long_rod (it's labeled as a long rod in the brochure + telescopic round encompassing 95% of a 430 mm long casing)
- could get its delta 6 round (430 mm)
These buffs would also go to the RDF/LT as they use the same cannon.

I mean isn't just about every round in war thunder missing penetrative power?
@@TallyPatka-dz2cz not like nearly a HALF of it

The worst part of playing top tier US is having US on your team every game
needs an ammo box especially with the reload buff
Too bad only SPGs / SPAA get the ammo box.
@reinyfrost3753 tell that to the Weasel 1a2, "TD"/light tank
@@leonidas231 missile carriers also get the ammo box, they gotta be pure missile carriers tho, unfortunately ifv's cant have it.
why cant we have Tow-vees?! I WANT HUMVEE
@nickkozak4763 it would basically be an American Weasel 1A2
hurry go tell Spookston.

Big buff for the "potentially best vehicle after fixes are made"
Is that the base camo? It looks sick
no, it's a prem camo

If i remember correctly, there were 90mm and even 105mm caliber version of the HSTVL gun
@ yeah, but give it a bigger turbine engine, more frontal armor and the same turret shape and auto loader- it would be unstoppable
Or nearly
1sec eyyy that's scary as heck man
Yeah and 2s38 is not scary but deserve to be 7.0
and still misisng half of penteration of the dart
First!!!!! Kirsh Love your video man
give it the real round stop playing around
