There should be damage to the auto loader mechanisms. I have the 2S38. It's great, but it can compete at any br from 10.0 to top tier.

My biggest problem is that if a 10/.3 tank against 9.0/9.3 punishes a lot, the 2s38 destroys entire teams (And before they come to me and say "you're a fucking one-armed piece of shit like your entire team", when 5 players with a winrate of 70%, 1.6 kd and +35000 games played cannot do anything to it, it is no longer a question of skill) yes, I think you have to raise the br so that at least you will not destroy the inferior brothers . The other option is for the Hull Break mechanic to return (exclusively for that tank) and for gajin to ensure that without exception (no excuses of "Oops, it's the server, packet loss, etc.") every hit on the tank front fuel kills. 100% of the time for the crew, and an engine shot always immediately ignites the ammunition.

I think its not about the vehicle factor but the players. Cause in what i've seen top tier players are built different ( if they are in a Normal Tech Tree tank ) considering you actually need skill to grind the modules against people of your skill which also are good players. And tanks will like likely ignore major ( if any ) damage just in time for you to react to a 2s38. So i think it will not fix the 2s38, but it will increase the difficulty of the players when you rush to top tier with a premium.

Imagine what the BMPT-3 would be like which is likely to have a 57mm cannon and be armoured like a tank. Russlanders have shifted from 30mm to 57mm esp seeing as there are 57mm LASER-guided rounds available.

To think the Otomatic got nerfed to the ground and never buffed, and then there's that thing... yeah sure Gaijin.

I find the best way to counter the 2S38 is to have something that has an even faster firing rate than it. Such as the LAV-AD, the 9040s, and other such light, quick firing vehicles. They're almost perfect counters because in the time that the 2S38 takes to reload one shell, the LAV-AD can get off 7 rounds of HVAP and 3 rounds of SAPHEI, while the 9040s can get off 2 individual 40mm APFSDS rounds than can two shot or even one shot ammo and one shot crew members, allowing you to kill 2S38s almost as soon as you click your mouse. The 9040s are also suprisingly tanky, so if the 2S38 gets off a couple rounds you'll usually survive. Sadly, this is limited to like 3-4 trees, and otherwise makes the 2S38 have the issues you mentioned in the video.

i think the clip againt the leopard was more a case of the front fuel tank completely eating the round and stoping it, wich seems to happen way to often in this thing

Honestly if they would add the autoloading mechanism as a module that could be damaged it would balace this thing.All those shots that just hit the empty space under the turret and missed ammo would at least disable the "loader". In the case of auto-loaded tanks, you could repair the mechanism (and damage to it could act like a wounded loader).

5:11 sure but just like "Spall Liner" By second before publishing, internal module gonna apply to other tank mean it's not really 2S38 fix, it's all tank fix mean power creed stay the same

I love this vehicle,got it on sale and it helped me grind the tech tree next to the turms but yeah fixing tanks once you introduced them in a certain way can be difficult

Actually gaijin can be really creative with damage model if they want, they need to add more modules for example if you hit autoloader, than your time would increase to reload and speed would be dependent on your reload speed skill, if you damage optics your targeting is fully black and cant see anything or very blurry, or if its badly damaged after fixing lense is cracked and distorted, so you basically can only use third person view to fight, even with current ones they can do a lot, if commander is hit, yuo cant use binoculars until fixed, if dead than entirely could not be used, i know binoculars mostly was used by tank commanders during ww2 but hell it would be much better to fight premium op tanks because more components would break, in general people would be more careful, imagine if they implement hydraulics system, 1 hit can completly disable your tank.

Shooting it anywhere in the front half of the tank already results in an instant kill. I also don't understand how poor shot placement not killing it is a problem. This already happens to literally every tank in-game. If you mess up a shot on a tank, they will shoot back. If the claim that a tank is overpowered stems from a literal skill issue, is it really right to consider it overpowered for that reason?

It definitely still needs to go up in BR. 9.0s should not be facing the 2S38. I recently tried stock grinding the ZTZ96 (9.3 T-72A equivalent) and it was nearly impossible against the 2S38 horde.

You forget the 57 mm penetration values. the game gives the 57 mm penetration almost close to the 75 mm on the HSTV-L despite no evidence that Russians have 57 mm with this amount of penetration, the game just give Russian imaginary shells like the Object 292 which given 700 mm of penetration despite that apfsds shells only depend on length for more pen and there is zero evidence that Russians got long shells at any time (only 3bm-60 on newer tanks, and still barely long like other nato shells) but the game just abuse the fact that its 152 cannon (i mean by this logic mbt-70 should get similar shell)

I had a rather mixed experience with the 2s38 survivability. Yes you can survive a badly aimed full broadside shot, yes you can survive the odd dart from the front that misses all the crew and ammo, yes u can survive while hull down and yes u can survive the odd bullshet bounce on the upper plate (seriously why is that still a thing). I'm gonna play the devils advocate here and say 2s38 is very easy to kill IF you put more than a few braincells at work and aim for a bit, the entire middle section is just ammo, the fuel tank loves to explode since its not an external one and for the better or worse all the crew is in the same spot. The new interal module thing actually worries me, not bcz I will not be able to ruin matches in 2s38 but bcz I do not trust gaijin to make such a radical gameplay change without breaking something for a long period of time. Ppl asked for volumetric for a long time and it turned out to be a horrible idea that only makes gameplay worse due to its very poor implementation. I am worried about glancing shots completely disabling tanks and taking a very long time to repair (if anything they should add more modules to helis bcz as of rn they are basically empty)

Honestly that increased spalling would be better, and (sadly for Russia and tanks based on theirs) should be applied to anything not a truck or wheeled vehicle. Russia has this habit of up armoring their stuff when it doesn't need it. Both their SPGs and SPAAs are built on tank chassis, it might have less protection but it's still the same chassis as the MBT it's built on. Not to mention Russia's flawed logic of fuel tank=armor; doesn't really work well in reality and never did since WW2. But the game says otherwise.

The biggest problem with the 2S38 are the down-tiers If it gets a 9.3 game (not even a full down-tier) It can fight Leo1s that it can reliably pen from the front at any range and they have pretty bad vertical and horizontal drives.

It's also way fater, and don't even expect flarring it (meanwhile the optical tracking is bugged and react to flare and chaffs for no fucking reasons). It's not a jack of all trade master of none, it's a jack of all trade master of all. it's an extremely recent vehicles and shouldn't have been put below 11.0 from the start and is more than capable of being 11.7, especially since it's an spaa.

No, it won’t change anything for the 2s38 but it’ll definitely change something for the poor 9.0 bastards. If we’re being completely honest it’s still at 10.0 because the turms is at 10.0

Needs nerf asap

What do I think? I'm indifferent. I don't really understand the outrage. The reason the vehicle does so well isn't because it's OP but because of how damage works in WarThunder. Single shot damage, outside of huge HE or OHK crew spall, loses to rapid fire auto cannons. Not to mention the no armor best armor. I'm pretty sure we've all shot at an AA or IFV, failed to kill it and then die cause they breeched or barreled you. It's annoying but it's just part of the game. Plus you are absolutely right, increasing its BR won't change it's performance. It'll still have empty space for darts to pass through and it'll still be able to breech and cannon torture the opposition.

I have a few thoughts. In this case "No Armor Best Armor" isn't actually because of the armor, at least at that BR. It's the module size to overall size ratio. MBTs usually have large modules and strive to make efficient use of space so the crew and components have as little as practical space between them. Where as light tanks like the 2S38 usually have smaller engines, guns, and overall components aside from fuel tanks. While being as large or in some cases larger than an MBT, Giving far more dead space to hit where little to no damage would be done, as well as larger areas to hit where things may be damaged but not enough to stop retaliation. For the solution, I can see the stun mechanic, if implemented correctly.

1:05 "Master of none" Bruh what kind of crack are u smoking? That thing can survive more shit than most MBTs, in hull-down spot its unmanned paper thin turret is almost impervious to darts, and if you shoot at centre mass of the 2s38 from the front which most likely you will, the fucking fuel tank in the front eats all of the fragments of your dart so you either only kill 1 outta 3 crew or the dart will pass through harmlessly and only get the engine, and with high pen ammo, rapid firing gun and extremely fast turret traverse, if you ain't killing it in one shot you are fucked, and good luck aiming outside of centre mass when you will most likely play in some close range maps, facing this monstrosity go-karting around the corner. This thing is almost the epitome of Russian bias. I haven't even mentioned the lack of a dedicated damage model for the autoloader which is extremely unfair to vehicles reliant on a living loader to reload in max speed, cuz this thing and most of the Russian T-series can fire at top reload regardless of how badly mauled their crew are, meanwhile a chally with only 2 men surviving gets double reload time.

shoving the 2s38 up in BR will fix it, by making it go against vehicles & players that actually know how the game plays instead of being at the BR where its just premium spanners who don't know how the vehicle works lmfao

Well thanks to top tier premiums and even some squadron vehicles at 11.3 like the M1A1 AIM, you're always going to find people who have absolutely no idea whats going on

I think people need to only be freaking out about it if it is incorrect to its true to life form. Yes it is super annoying to play against but in real life having that cannon would kick ass against many modern vehicles.

I mean in real life it would have already been slammed by a drone with a mortar ducktaped to it. Real War is not fun neither should it be compared to a video game.

This autocannon ain’t doing shit to most modern mbts from the front unlike War Thunder, not doing anything from the side either since most tanks have era (it actually stops rounds unlike in warthunder)

No IRL it wouldnt pen an M1A2, Chally, Leclerc or a Leopard frontaly...theres not a single thing realistic about WT top tier...not to mention 2S38 fuel tank working better than spall lines

2S38 doesn't need a br change, it's very light and all it takes is a shot or two with HEATFS

I play top-tier Sweden and USA. In no way is this thing balanced at 10.0. You could put it at 11.7, and it would have the same stats. HEAT-FS has no effect on it.

cool story bro... It eats HEAT-FS and ATGMS for breakfast. You have to hit it many times with this type of ammo to do some damage (with one in a million chance to oneshot it when you trapshot it to overpressure). It rapes the 9.0-10.0 BR games atm and makes them a pain in the ass. The worst thing with it is that every fucking monkey can buy it (because of premium vehicle) and escalate the cancer even worse in those high BR games

Fine where its at.

PUMA was pushed up quite a bit, and it is far worse than the 2S38

It only kills main battle tanks on the side. I don't see any of them. And I'll be quite honest with you. When I do see them, they're burning and they talk about moving this thing up. Well you know what? Go ahead and buy the God. D*** thing and then they'll move it up on you. I'm not a big fan of it. I have it, but I wish I'd never bought the God damn thing. Cause it can only kill main battle tanks from the side. Oh, sure. It can kill planes and helicopters. But a lot of times you get 1 or 2 kills on planes and you're dead. Personally, I think it was the worst buy I have done.I'm not a big fan of the fucking thing
