Luchs A2

[LordBUM]

just unlocked it and i'm not very impressed with it so far i mean its nice to have it and all but
its way under-performing for its BR it seems way too slow then it should be at 7.3 and its penetration is very situational. i mean at best its a decent AA but its being labeled as a light tank but all it can really do outside of taking out other light tanks is scouting. iv'e had match's where i would just sit there scouting every tank that drove by while not being able to do anything else because i cant pen their armor.

at the very least an 8-wheeler such as this should have decent speed to get away from danger but it takes so long to speed up that there's no point in running away because the enemy will kill you anyway because you are too slow.
and not being able to kill 90% of the tanks you face especially in an uptier is really annoying most vehicles at 7.0-8.0 have more than 70mm of armor having only 66mm of pen just wont cut it. yeah sure i could kill another light tank or an AA but most the guys you find are in an MBT or something and most light tanks will already die before you even see them.

so really the Luchs should either be Buffed and given higher armor pen at least 76mm or it should go down to 6.7 where it will be somewhat more useful in its current state.
the darn thing is literally the very definition of 'we have a BTR-80A at home" but its worse in almost every way.

wiesel speeds up faster is less than half the size of the Luchs and has a Laser range finder and superior thermals the only downside to the wiesel is that it has the same gun as the Luchs.

plus buffing the Luchs's armor pen would also buff the Wiesel and the Marder but they aren't nearly in as rough a shape as the Luchs is in right now.

Just a little correction. The Luchs A2 isn't an APC, it's a wheeled recon vehicle. The wheeled APC of the Bundeswehr was the TPz F u c h s (thanks to Steam censorship paranoia, I've to write the name with spaces between the letters :s ) currently in the process of being replaced by the Boxer.

Type 87 RCV (P) is the same akward spot but even higher in BR at 7.7.

Same armament and roughly the same armor but lower reverse speed, worse optics and no thermals or Nightvision whatsoever.

The only two things the 87 (P) has over the Luchs are the higher top speed and dual controls
for the drivers.

It makes more sense to use BTR-80A. you don't need stabilization or high rpm. At least it's easier to destroy tanks while scouting with this tank. I wish you hadn't gone to such trouble.

-А ещё модель этого безобразного германца. Проваливается под землю на старте. Каждый раз, когда вы начинаете бой или используете дублёр.
-Если посмотрите внимательно. То уже в ангаре, колёса того частично, но заметно погружены в "землю". Из-за этого глупого эффекта. Модель подпрыгивает на старте, не позволяя набрать скорость.
-Как у FV107 - из дна торчит кусок текстуры, которым "танк" бьётся о землю. Если та имеет неровность. Из-за чего не редко начинает застревать на ровном месте. Издавать характерные звуки. Как раньше. Когда модели танков "засасывало" в камни или деревья сейчас.

Просто выкинули низкокачественные и, недоделанные модели "лёгких танков". Со свежей собранной статистикой. Намеренно сделав вашу игру на них Очень Сложными. Подобрав характеристики таким образом, чтобы без покупки за деньги. Было почти невозможно исследовать все модули на "танке".
