The HSTV-L could receive numerous buff it historically has, - Missing velocity (about 200-300 m/s) and penetration of XM885 (M774 levels) - Better round - Faster reload (0.8 seconds though 1 second is fine) - IRST - HE-VT rounds - Better optics with no vignette as it was TV - Should have same ability as the STRV-103 to be manned alone BUT with all these possible buffs, they should just make all low caliber APFSDS have a very tight cone with lots of spalling thus aiming actually has meaningful damage. Its annoying playing tanks such as the Rooikat Mk.1D, VCC 80/60, M41D and many others with their inconsistent damage. Though like Justin says it is better now but still some shots can have inconsistent post pen.
It not having any of those is so farcical when you stare at it being 1.3 BR higher than the 2S38...... it literally has all the features of the HSTV-L and is lower in BR.
So Sweden (For Finland) is getting the KV-1 m1942 this update, but sadly it's a premium. Gaijin dropped the ball again and Sweden is still with Italy and Japan as being members in the "Still doesn't have a tech tree heavy tank" club. Now the only way I can see Sweden getting a heavy tank (Or with these, heavy tank adjacent) are the two ISU-152's that Finland captured during the Continuation War.
Combo video idea: The ZLT11 and either the J-6A or Taiwanese F-104A. (Yes, I know that both aircraft are BR 9.3 while the ZLT11 is at BR 9.7, but it's the best I could come up with.)
Id prefer low caliber apfds to have more consistent spalling, but its performing pretty close to what it can actually do. Some of these low caliber apfsds rounds like the 60mm are only a 17mm penetrator, which severely limits what they can spall and do.
I've only done maybe 200 matches of top tier so far. I've yet to be killed by an hstvl. The vehicle that I see killing me most is the centauro lol. Idk what it is, but people that use those at top tier are good and sweaty af.
Justin? Can we see the VFM5 and Buccaneer S.2 with its payload of 16 RP-3s? They're very good rockets which can OHKO most tanks if you hit the roof or the tracks, and the ballistic calculator helps you do that. Day 10 (I think)
But… they didn’t buff the round Justin, like at all. The stats are the exact same they’ve always been, which is verifiable in the files. You seemingly are just making use of great shot placement which is what’s netting you those kills. Meanwhile the 2S38 still has better damaging spalling and more spalling overall…
Huge part of this is also probably the new autoloader models, which help with them not being able to shoot back. They also produce spall, and this helps tremendously when the spall cone is that small.
@bendawg8-wi4dr several small updates ago (can't find the specific one) gaijin modified the smaller caliber sabots (75,76,60mm, etc.) Allowing them to have slightly more fragments when spalling. Which in turn is a fairly significant buff to this round, alongside the aforementioned.
According to the leaks the Zulu gets K-Hellfires which would be awesome since it is due for years now. Probs means that it goes up to 11.7 and that would destroy the awesome lineup sadly. I use the HSTV-L, AGS, and the AIM and clickbait. The only thing lacking is a good AA. Maybe the adats will get downtiered in the future :)
That’s sad but it’s 100% true. I bounce a few shots on HSTVL but 100% of the time my breach automatically goes out in all the Abram’s once hit. I can name only a few times I can remember actually bouncing any shot in the Abram’s without taking any sort of damage.
I feel like if ur planning on using cas to win ur team needs to use u to make plans like say a10 or any cas jet or heli block enemies from A as ur team gets a then c or b stuf like that

@@Optimusprime56241 so how am I supposed to shoot the hull and I run into one ina hill down 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Point still stands. It just needs its auto loader system modeled to fall inline with the rest. It simply only makes sense.
@@Optimusprime56241higher caliber ounces apfsds all the time. It’s such an unreliable shot that I will refuse to shoot an HSTVS in the front of the hull or even the turret thanks to the empty space. It’s kinda crazy that gaijin models Auto loaders for all of the T series, all of the type 90 series, the lercrecs, but neglects the bagel, the hstvl, all of France 7.7 etc. etc. they added a nerf mechanic but only implemented it into a fraction of the tanks they should have.
It's probably unironically the best SPAA option for the US. The ADATS is quite easy to defeat, but with the AV-8B you can sit in some unexpected spots, and the AMRAAMs guide themselves just fine, so none of those wobbly manual guidance problems. Too bad they upped the SP costs of fox3s by quite a bit, so it's not as easy to spawn anymore purely for SPAA duties, but I suppose the ADATS isn't that much better anyway for what it offers for its own high SP cost problem.
Btw can u drop short vid of ur graphic settings?I had to delete and download WT and it fucked up my settings and now whatever i do game just looks like crap
CAS is a double edged sword, on one hand yyyou're taking out enemies for your team, but on the other, you're not capturing the bases or playing the objective
Typical USA fashion... if im not mistaken which i very well could be, but was that a 0% win rate in that video today? haha awesome gameplay though! very good combo suggestion!
@Optimusprime56241 Its really not. You just need to know tank weak spots. Yes it shouldn't probably be at 11.3 when it's compared to 2s38 at 10.0. But the HSTV-L has incredible gun depression at -17 degrees. Very good mobility and etc.
@Optimusprime56241 Yeh it's true. At first I almost broke my monitor because this shit didn't do any damage. The HSTV-L realistically should have a 75mm apfsds round which has equal penetration to m774. Over time I learnt to play this
i'm afraid of giving away account details since there's been word about account stealing :( is the GE for WT or the telegram bot actually legit? is it worth it too?
It's legit, and has actual contract with gaijin about the tasks you have to do in order to earn gold, and I used it too and earned like 100 GE doing smaller tasks.
The Apache is better because you’re able to Helly rush off rip go to 800 to 1000 meters set it to hover and rain down gunfire until you run out of ammo then you can use the 76 rockets you got and get out. Most kills I’ve gotten is eight doing this strategy

ISU-152 is a SPG tho

K hellfires wouldn't change the performance of this heli much, if at all. So I'm hoping it stays at 11.3!
That is true but every helo with it is at 11.7 but maybe gaijin oversees this, let's just pray for it :D@@JustinPlaysTV
the only exceptions are the AH-6M and I believe the OH-58D, although they can only carry 4 of them
love these two vics the zulu is my favorite helo in the game and IRL SF Justin
Great Video as Always Justin!
Zulu viper is a cold killer Z-19 and Z-10 could never 😂
The Blackhawk has MAW. Not sure if it’s relatively new or not. But I can confirm, it does have it

I want to see you suffer a bit (with a fun but kinda hard challenge), how about the Hungarian 2a7V with the Tornado IDS (1995), both at 11.7!
can u try the amazing combo KF-41 and AMX?
This
Maybe it's "viable" for U.S. at 11.3 buuuut Japan TKX (P) and heli AH-64DJP both at 11.0 are much better.
What’s goin on with this telegram on iOS? I don’t understand this
Why does the zulu not have upgraded agms? Shouldn’t it have Ks?
It should be getting the Ks soon, but you know gaijin.
I bet using the AV-8B with the amraams while hovering next to the battlefield, as a mobile sam station, would be a fun gameplay for you. 🤩
It's probably unironically the best SPAA option for the US. The ADATS is quite easy to defeat, but with the AV-8B you can sit in some unexpected spots, and the AMRAAMs guide themselves just fine, so none of those wobbly manual guidance problems. Too bad they upped the SP costs of fox3s by quite a bit, so it's not as easy to spawn anymore purely for SPAA duties, but I suppose the ADATS isn't that much better anyway for what it offers for its own high SP cost problem.
