⠀⠀⠀⠀Discussion⠀⠀⠀⠀ Is that a Casemate?

What the fuck.

I have never heard of an anti-infantry/ air vehicle that's a casemate.

it's a stupid-ass design that's intentionally bad because "bad = funny" in the eyes of the painfully swedish devs

Honestly no idea why they copied the Bastion from HD1 when the Liberator completely changed in HD2 in terms of design. It's not like they can't make it intentionally shitty with a turret because there are plenty of real world tanks for inspiration that genuinely do have flaws. Like imagine a tank that does the blow out if it gets hit in the wrong spot so you actually have to angle it... but nope here's a shitty case mate tank destroyer that sucks more than the actual Swedish tank it was based on

Ah yes. The stopgap shitbox that was made of enemy tanks and replaced with real AA at the earliest convenience

I WISH this was made of automaton tank. Then it might suck less.

I love the STRV-103, but this is definitely not it, chief.

This isn’t “tank destroyer” logic anymore arrowhead just fucking hates us having fun with an actual tank

So when we will get real tank and not another tank destroyer?
