Khrizantema-S worth it???

[Craz(Y)een]

So is the Khrizantema-S Worth getting and playing or am i better off with other Russian stuff??

[MaDeuce]

It's great on some maps, not so great on others. You'll probably be better off getting T-72 and T-64 first, because you can use those in several different roles and they work fine on all maps.

Khrizantema-S is best used at a standoff, holding down an area of a map from a distance behind hard cover. You can't just wheel around all over the map like a tank.

Grab the BMP-2m or BMP-3 instead, then you can at least shoot down any revenge bombers on their way to kill you.

[Pozieres]

it is useless in built up maps like urban, forest and hills. You ideally want an open map like red sands

[Dozz]

what do you already have at 9.3, because the Russian 9.3 lineup is mostly made up like this
T-72A
T-64A
T-64B
ZSU-23-4/37-2
any BMP
2S25
BMD
and any other filler tank or aircraft you might have
IMO if you see any of these and either don't have them don't like them or otherwise can't use them, and are at the Shturm-S i see no reason not to give it a shot, its got good missiles, a ground to ground radar which is 1 of a kind, and it can shoot down helis if you get the right angle! think about it logically for your LINEUP more then the usefulness of the tank in this case, as the tank is not good nor bad, its all in how you play it

But thats just my take on the matter, do as you feel! GL and have a good day/night!

Its obviously not meta, but it is a lot of fun. I enjoy the different playstyle it offers. As mentioned before it is useful on open maps. Because of the radar you can and will kill vehicles behind bushes as well

OP AF in some maps and complete trash in others.

i'd say first 2 comments nailed it well.
you need to find a perfect spot and use it as a sniper.
however, you will get a dozer blade, which means you can potentially create your own stand off point.
requires you to goof around in maps to find the best location for yourself, for your play-style.

but yeh, i pretty much agree with the fact that it is a very situational vehicle just like Shturm to be used in certain maps.

It's been like a whole year since it was added and Gaijin still haven't given it any hydraulic suspension so no, it is not worth it.

I think for players that like atgm veicules its very worth it, i dont play those, but i died alot to them.
Their atgms are very fast, i lost abrams, Lclercs, leopard2 facing those.

Honestly use the BMP's, they have good atgms at autocannons against light vehicles
