Only really a difference made once they buff the pen of the rounds. This just feels like gaijin responding to the point of "RDF/LT is just worse HSTV-L" so now gaijin can say it's better because it fires faster.
@AlbanianEmir Everything else isn't fixed: The round is still dogshit (it isn't irl), the tank is still not agile enough and the armour is still wrong. (Unless they updated it, I dunno yet)
For everyone saying it got buffed, only the rof got buffed. It still not using it proper APDSFS round, something Gaijin adamantly will not add despite Spookston giving them actual archive documents.
To explain what happened for those not in the know (likely not many, but still): Spookston is another WT TH-camr whose favorite tank happens to be the RDF/LT. When Gaijin announced it's release in game, they name-dropped him in the announcement to boost sales. However, the version they released was neither historically accurate nor properly balanced for the BR it was released in, and Spookston had made several observations about the inaccuracies and overall underperformance of the vehicle. They promptly ignored him and the community at large, even when presented all the documentation that showed it should and could be far more powerful than they had made it(And no, the documents were not classified, this is information they had full legal access to and had actually seen before.) They promptly ignored everyone. In short, Gaijin thought they could just use his name and ignore his critiques and thought they could get away with it, not realizing one of the most basic truths in advertising: if you're gonna name drop a celebrity, you damn well better be sure they consent. So a few days back, Spookston made a video asking his entire audience to boycott the vehicle. He did this because Gaijin had used his name to endorse it without his consent, even when he had objections to the state of its release. He explained his position, about how the vehicle was laughably worse than the HSTV-L, which was a predecessor to it historically, yet was more powerful in Warthunder and at a lower BR. Lo and behold, the boycott, as well as the terrible in game performance of both vehicles, had a massive impact on vehicle sales, reviews, and even impacted the playtime numbers of the HSTV-L. Combine that with the increasing number of complaints from a now well informed audience, and the company was left with two choices: stand their ground and lose money, or submit, adjust the performance to something more reasonable, and salvage sales numbers.
Spookston didn't even ask people to boycott it, he just told them to not buy it, because it's in every regard a worse 2S38 with an additional 1.4 points of BR on it. Guy has been sending them documents from both the US army and the manufacturer, proving them they are wrong for years and the moderators keep shutting him down with "we don't believe that is real, it must be US propaganda", if i were him and got namedropped like that to boost sales after the constant shit they put him through i would have gone ballistic, he was far more calm and collected than i would have expected.

RDF/LT with 75mm that is firing a round designed to defeat every single MBT up to T-80 frontally struggles to penetrate everything on the sides. God forbid this happens to some Soviet/Russian vehicle ....
thermals are situational. And since they're ass in game default sight is better. Personally (not a pro ofc) I only use them to search for heat signature in bushes, and in night maps, sometimes for very long ranges, and with spaas to find planes more easily. Otherwise visibility with default sight is so much better.
thermals are all lower resolution than normal sights, they should be used for spotting targets at medium-long distance and for ESS baiting, shouldnt be using them when engaging in most situations
When I play war thunder and have my rear end handed to me my depression gets buffed because I'm a console caveman compared to every other player I go against
i cant wait to non pen and do no damage even faster now!!!! it only took them adding something they can make money on to actualy fix one part of that tank
I think the HSTV should get a better penning round with a 1.3 sec reload bc it has limited ammo but the RDF should keep the round it has bc it has way more ammo
idk why gaijin was so scared of buffing its reload when the round cant pen anything unless its a light target or its standing still show its sides. it now needs its betetr round which THEN we can talk about it being op.
0:10 sure gaijin two 75mm apfsds round going right trough the middle of the autoloader is not going to destroy the tank, I swear russian tanks are so hand holding in this game. 3:18 bro idk if that is a mix of HSTVL doing no damage or autoloaders eating rounds wtf.

Snow globes have arrived Malzi. I opened 20 and got a T30 (American Heavy) and it's probably the most exciting I've been for anything in this game
Holy, that's some luck you have there. I was contemplating whether to spend my life savings on 20 of them, turns out there's a chance
I bought 60 and got 300k. A net loss, but loads of wagers and backup cards.
T30 is ass but i love the 155 meme launcher gratulation tho
ThunderWar opened 1500 globes and got fuck all, like 2 tanks he didnt have already, whoopee! 🙃
@LarryPigeon1 I will not tolerate any t30 slander
"I have a feeling a certain content creator starting with s will be very happy" *content creator immediately crashes out*
Finally, a worthy buff
The HSTV-L is such a cool-looking vehicle.
After the buff if it sells well we probably get another buff like the Su-33 lol
Delta-6 maybeee
Su33 needs it and maxbe Begleit APFSDS
I actually enjoy the RDF/LT since the buff, might buy it when my rental expires
Oh hey Ewok, strange seeing you here

Did they fix the armour on it so it stops eating shells?

Honestly as long as your a decent player the 2s38 along with some sort of heli or plane will be your best choice
Don’t listen to me tho I main France, just from my experience a smart 2s38 is scary

The ammo is still nerfed and unreliable, I would still wait but it can be fun at times
Its miles better than the abrams, a thrice time almost have a nuke in it yesterday

Thank god for spookstons
Wait, does the thermals got buffed as well?
Nope...Gen 1 for Gunner, HSTVL has that plus Gen 1 for Commander - Both have Higher gen therms for the drone they get
They also buffed the PZH 2000 :D
both of these tanks are like middle finger with their ROF the only down side is the HSTV-L Ammo Count
The devs still didn’t give its proper apdsfs round …
Why do pros never have their thermals always active?
It’s because the tank he is using only has gen 1 and gen 1s are trash so they only use them for spotting targets and that’s about it
Gen 1 thermals are really bad, so you get more visibility without em. Only exception is like on large distances and to look through engine smoke.
thermals are situational. And since they're ass in game default sight is better. Personally (not a pro ofc) I only use them to search for heat signature in bushes, and in night maps, sometimes for very long ranges, and with spaas to find planes more easily.
