It’s a decent HE slinger, but it’s open top, has cardboard armor, ammo racks on either side of the front of the tank, a terrible reverse gear, and the HEAT is inconsistent in terms of damage.
Compared to the M8 Scott it’s night and day, the Alecto does not belong in BR2, it’s too underpowered.
No, the Alecto and 15cm sIG are both BR 2 SPGs, no more no less.
Yeah this exactly, neither are BR1, but neither are BR3.
The Alecto is not a BR2 SPG
Yes it is. A 105 mm HE slinger has no place in BR 1.
Well good thing it’s a 95 mm HE slinger, and it currently has no place in BR2
No, it’s 95 mm
And it’s HE have same tnt filling as 75mm
On the other hand, 15cm sLG have more tnt than KV-2 with one third of the reload time
Or how about we compare it to the M8 Scott, which is its main competition at BR2.
The M8 Scott has twice the reload speed, is much faster, has more than 3 times the reverse speed, better armor, a turret, a roof mounted MG, is much less open for the crew, and is a tech tree vehicle.
The only disadvantage the M8 Scott has over the Alecto is that the Alecto’s HEAT has 110 mm of pen compared to the M8 Scott’s 89 mm pen. But considering the heaviest vehicle you can go against is a Panzer IV I don’t think this really matters.
not a single vehicle with 75mm or larger gun is BR1 to limit HE spam in BR1-2 matches.
I cant even comprehend how anyone thinks a 95mm HE spammer is entitled to be BR1, especially right after its Axis counterpart was forsaken to BR3.
First off the 15 cm deserves to be BR2 cause it’s funny, but also I think the 95 mm HE slinger deserves to be BR1 cause it’s shit, ripe dog shit.
Also the vehicle system as a whole just needs to be reworked, people are never gonna stop crying about HE spam until that happens.
not happening, a score system was tested years ago but was ultimately abandoned.
Instead tanks got nerfs after nerfs to be easy to destroy which they really are.
Yet has almost twice the fragmentation of the 75mm shell.
So no, they are not the same.
Well I think a score system would work, but besides that the Alecto either needs to get buffed or dropped down.
Only if infantry AT gets massivly nerfed. Tanks as they are are kinda just a score piniata for anyone willing to claim it.
There really are only 3 or 4 tanks that might be hard to destroy but the rest are just a joke.
I mean technically you have the italian 75mm which still has “We have HE at home” HE.
Oh right, true Semovante does have 75mm cannon but no HE.
I have answered this question before
It’s Fragments/s is worse than BR2 HE spammer
And the blast zone is positive correlation with ROF * TNT filling
So it’s worse in both blast zone and fragmentation
Read the stat
It is currently the worst HE spammer in game, plus it’s rarity, make sense as BR1
And still better than all of the japanese ones.
Most of the effective kill zone for fragmentation is determined by the density of fragmentation. If a round has twice the fragments count it can also cover a larger distance reliably aswell.
Just because, in theory, fragment can travel 15m it does not mean that there will be sufficient numbers of fragments to actually cover all the area within. So more fragments means bigger effective radius aswell.
When I say blast zone, I mean shock wave, the damage that is independent from fragment
shock wave only affect by tnt equivalent
No, Ho-I have better shock wave and firing rate
Ho-I : 810g TNT * 63 RoF
And it got better armor and turret
It’d be nice to give people something that actually dies when you hit it with a PzB
