I only just noticed this the other day when someone had a real laugh in chat after looking skywards...

Ramka-99 is a rare breed. Between the 500dmg on Ataka and 155mm pen on 2A42, I can see why people hate it so much, but I love it just the same. Seems to work some magic on spotting even though it is a shitty spotter.

I sold my BMP-2 (again lol, not much point since 3M is so OP and I don't play T5 anymore) and Cent 120 (needs changes, won't rebuy until 0.14's TD buff) for the Warrior to go alongside my Ramka. Batshit Begins
Certainly was not the best of teams, and not MM's best day either, and not to mention that I didn't get rewarded with a blue star in the end, but it sure had me sweating. Down to 99hp, shit ton of 2A6s and a Warrior in the cap circle and less time on the cap timer than the game timer...holy shit it was stressful knowing that if that Warrior started moving in the right direction I'd be within spotting range and that would be the end of me...

RARDEN is insanely powerful and I don't think it's too far off in real world terms (in relation to other autocannons in game, of course). There is a lack of info regarding the RARDEN's rounds but I read somewhere that APDS from L21A1 can penetrate 50mm @ 60 degrees, 1000 metres. Not bad and not unreasonable in game considering that 3UBR8 does 25mm @ 60 degrees, 1500 metres.
