Is the warrior good?
Is the warrior good at 8.3? I cant tell if its worth playing or if i should just skip it. Those missiles look good but that 30mm gun looks terrible with no stabilizer and 80 rounds/second.

It is not worth it at all, it is easily the worst IFV/APC in the game.

yeah wouldn't surprise me that its bad, im just wondering how its at 8.3 cause it looks significantly worse than BMP-2 or bradley

honestly if you wan't good IFV's grind either US USSR Sweden or Italy.

hmm couldnt say it sets the world on fire tbh. MIlan 2 is still pretty slow. RARDEN gun is an interesting real-life concept, but a bit of a joke in this game compared to USSR 30mm autocannons.

Still - it's not bad and if you are into Britain already then probably worth getting it.

It is. If you want to get angry at the game you can play it but I would save the lions and time.

Nah, that would be the BTR-80A

The BTR is faster meaning it has a better chance of flanking and it has a higher fire rate, meaning it will have more successful attempts at shooting down aircraft as well as being more reliable against ground targets.

I do not see how it is worse than the Warrior in game.

I mean the BTR 80A to me is a bit too high in BR but idk where else to truly put it as people will complain about it regardless. But it's only issue is that it has no real way to deal with heavy armor threats like all other IFV's.
do you guys think the striker is a better option for support tank at 8.3? or would i be better off using a swingfire with that funny camera sight?

I actually just got it a few months ago having put it off for years. I tried it and it is quite horrible. There are very few specific instances when it can be used properly. It also loses to most IFVs it meets. Worst IFV on the game. The BTR-80 is an APC, so it doesn't count.

I wish it were better but in game terms, the RARDEN cannon is weak. In real life, perhaps not.

I did want to post a question asking about people's experiences about it. In any case, you did!

Eh i kinda expected as much, might try the striker instead cause swingfires are actually competitive solely from the fact theh might be the only ATGM that is still highly responsive.

Don't listen to them. It's actually pretty good. Milan is amazing, basically one-taps any tank you may encounter on this br. Even in the 8.7 setup I'm still keeping that thing. The only serious downside is a lack of stabilizer, which makes fighting other IFV's much harder, but other than that, it's amazing, especially considering the fact that there aren't many other vehicles you can replace it with. First rooikat is significantly worse due to nonexistent damage and swing/striker is basically useless on half of the map pool.

warrior has it's merits, but it is at too high a BR. Needs to be downtiered otherwise it is forced to up against MBTs FFS.

Milan missile can kill for sure, but the problem is it is very slow and at those BR's you hardly get the chance to use it because thermal sights means you get spotted very quickly.

I liked playing the warrior at first but eventually just got irritated by it because there are never enough situations where it has the advantage for it to be fun for very long.

Yeah - exactly this, at its BR there is only a few situations where it performs. should be downtiered to 7.7.

RARDEN was designed purely to eliminate MBTs if flanking. If it meets an MBT or other well-armoured vehicle head on then you are lost. Interesting story about its development on wikipedia somewhere as I recall.
