SAV 20.12.48
The devs need to nerf this tank. It's a rank 2 tank with a 3.7 rating and 1.2s reload. For $20USD become a rapid moving tank destroyer that can outflank and outgun damn near anything else on the field. This is literally the most overpowered tank I've ever seen and a clear case of pay to win.

Was 3.3, was bumped to 3.7 already. Keep an eye on BR changes they usually come every few months. That's where you'd see any changes.

Also, it's been in the game for months. People are using it a lot to grind out new tanks, give it a week to simmer down and it'll be back to normal.

Not to mention it has near zero armor and few crew, it's a solid oneshot if hit anywhere in the crew compartment with APHE rounds.

I've read what people have said about this vehicle, I'm not bothered by it as I mostly play rb these days, yes the reload could be a pain but in rb anyone hitting first is more of a problem.

so for me, killing this tank is down to my skill.

strv 103 is way more of a pain, have a play with the armour pen analysis, you will love it.

It being squishy doesnt matter since more often than not it will spot you first. The fact that it has 1.2 reload that can lolpen more or less everything in its br and you find it oke is disgusting to say the least.

explain how "more often than not it will spot you first"

In ab, crew will be low, so can't be keen vision, not yet.
In rb, that is you not seeing them, not the tank.

you are sure making like it is how you play and not the vehicle that is at fault.

"outgun"

It reloads faster, but has lower pen than most things at its BR, along with being almost completely unable to penetrate the Sherman or T-34, let alone the KV-1

"rapid moving" It's about as mobile as a T-34

it has decent mobility, and extremely fast reload for 7 shells, and high filler amounts for said shells. It pays for this by having poor firing angles, poor armour, few crew (only 3 people, easier to kill it than other tanks), open topped (so strafing with .30 cals can kill it), and only ok penetration (as above)

It's not OP, just a very different vehicle.

It's a 90mm 1.2s tank destroyer that tops out at 53kmph. If an entire enemy team is using it then it just absolutely owns the battlefield. It's not a "bad" tank, it's just overpowered for a $20 vehicle.

It's not a 90mm (it's a 120mm with 95mm of penetration, not enough to frontally engage most tanks of its tier effectively) the 1.2s reload only happens for the first 7 rounds, after which it can't reload at all for a good 10-20 seconds, it never gets to 53km/h in game (stat cards lie) and the only way it's owning the battlefield is if people aren't checking their flanks/corners.

It's not overpowered, it's a strange vehicle that's being spammed out (probably by older players too) because the new tree dropped.

hull aiming is still broken
you have a fighting chance against the STRV as long as you have some kind of AHPE or heat round
