Leopard 40/70 Is insane

[dake]

I grinded out the italy tree up to the new Leo since the last update because its the perfect vehicle for my playstyle and it is a dream. I have never had so much fun, but it is kinda out of place.
-It has one of the fastest turret traverses in the entire game at 85 degrees aced (if not the fastest, the only thing i could find close was the Mistral at 78* stock).
-Can sideshot anything except the Churchill and annihilate any light/spaa.
-Its mobility is second to none having higher speed than an m18 and neutral steer. (often I can pass the objective and sideshot enemies trying to get to the battle at the beginning of the game)
-93mm of pen at 5.0 makes every enemy feel like butter.
-While upteirs are somewhat common I have had a fair amount of downteirs where nothing stands a chance (even full uptier its still faster than 98% of everything else)
-it can aim straight up and has enough turret traverse to often trade with planes even if they have the jump on you and the 40mm cuts planes in half with AP so I dont even bring HE
-(edit) also can fire on the move unaffected due to the traverse and the AP is full caliber so it does great post pen
Where do you all think it should be? I feel like it should get nerfed or moved up in BR but it would still do well even at 5.7 or 6.0.

Also why is the object 211 so damn loud, it sounds like a honda civic banging limiter from a mile away.

My bet is it will end up 6.0 eventually since it has bigger bullets than the OTO R3 which is currently 5.7, also has twice the turret rotation

I'm already using it with a 6.0 lineup (M109G and 2S1) and it works quite well even in a full uptier.

It's perfect for late match when you've lost one or both arty's and need something for caps/decaps or just sweeping up.

Who would've guessed the 90mm pen autocannon on a fast chassis would be amazing at 5.0 and never have to be used to fight planes

Amx/Lvkv - Does the far superior mobility/reverse speed/traverse/lack of large ammo racks in turret only warrant .7 br increase?

Phong kong- yes it gets two cannons but, Again traverse and mobility, Its high pen round is only hvap which does way less damage and slightly less pen (Its enough to matter against certain vehicles)

I also hardly ever face any of these so they could be more powerful than I would know.
