PTRS is BR1 now, which should be capable of penning.

Great, but can you pick off the crew/hit ammo before it deletes you?
Also everyone is still ignoring the US will have to face this too… and that BR I players might not even have AT stuff unlocked.

You expect too much from M13 it’s SPAA not a real tank better ask for performance vs American 37mm

That’s another issue: the boys is bad. But it’s not a reason to uptier a vehicle.
It’s a reason to introduce a decent AT rifle instead.
As for allies vehicles, any m13, or Stuart or starter tank can also take the Sig out with ease…

I feel like we have all been playing so long we have forgotten how clueless we were when we started. BR I needs some level of protection from instant death. I know a player who kills KTs with the Rhino, but we aren’t going to say that the Rhino should be BR V or KT BR I.
We’ll take note of this at the moment
Depending on the overall reaction to the tank when it’s available that will decide whether or not it gets an uptier

They will be facing my PZ3N with upgraded armor that is also BR2, Sturmpanzer 2 with paper thin armor and long reload is the last of their worries just two matches and they will have m2a4 unlocked which is enough to take it out. And Soviets will take it out instantly with PTRD-41 or T-26
Not a criticism of your test, but do we know which shells get used first when the sIG shoots? If those top ones do, are you still able to hit the ones in the lower chassis?
That is such a huge improvement over the instant APC prenerf in the past.

Yes. It needs
It’s the only sensible way.

This should not be a thing either. Idk why they moved one to BR III and not the other.
I have no clue better ask devs, but even without a single shell you still can murder crew one by one as it has close to zero armor. Also fuel tank can also get hit and destroy their TD.
My only complaint is that then BR II becomes a punching bag for BR III. If only the game wasn’t such a mess of balance. BR V needs to be on it’s own or broken out into a BR V & VI. BR II is mostly balanced vs I outside certain vehicles. BR II and III are weird. III and IV kinda work. But I guess that is a topic for another thread.

A bit too late for that as Germany BR2 is a punching bag of both Soviets and Americans and not just BR3 but also BR2. They got ultra overpowered smgs, great planes, great tanks (T-28E is the best BR2 tank), Soviets got best semi at BR2, both of them have better bolties. There are no reason to play as BR2 Germany and we are way past just worrying about BR2 as it got power creeped massively not just by BR3 but also BR2, Germany is playing with power of BR1 while rest are playing with power of BR3 at BR2.
I prefer to talk about it after the release, XA 38 was much worse than I imagined, maybe this one will be the same.

Tested it from about 100m away and it was fine you can ignite fuel tank and kill crew one by one and destroy tank even without hitting ammo. M13 is not a tank fighting vehicle, Stuart are and it can easily destroy sturmpanzer ii i don’t even need to test it to know it. Boys is really weak they should get something better.
The perfect setting is of course +/- 0 for every br…
I really hope we will get there eventually. Because too many things are all over the place…

That’s good. Still doesn’t address that it 1shots everything at BR I and will be nuking the infantry. But at least it will die easily if the enemy gets a chance to shoot back.
My expectation is vets like us will deal with them easily while new players get farmed. Similarly we will farm with them while BR I players wander aimlessly. Maybe those grey zone snipers will finally have a use 
It’s a glass cannon it will die against anything, and infantry will get killed either way by German short 75mm at BR2
Newbies will uptier themselves to BR5 and won’t need to fight vs Sturmpanzer ii with their T-26 as they will be visiting Berlin
