another tank regiment suggestion - enjoy ben shapiro!!!!

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
This suggestion is to readd the K-17, a version of the current K-16 which has an Explosive Cannon (Similar/exact same as the PUMA) and Double ATGM Rockets. In return, the K-16's slots will be reduced to 2 and the BTR-90 can also be reduced to 2 slots. As it currently stands, the K-16 is an incredibly ineffective vehicle which only purpose is to destroy emplacements, as it's cannon kills them quickly. The BTR-90 is a vehicle which is never really used, and is overall a glass-cannon with little to no damage against infantry or tanks, or just entirely remove it as it serves little purpose due to it's bad engine.

I would also like to point out that ATGMs are overall very inconsistently and a fair amount of times don't actually do any damage (for some reason).
The K-17 would be able to face off against 10k HP tanks better than the BMP can

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
No.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
More usage of IFV's against NATO
Balances NATO / USSR IFVs, as NATO get 4 IFV slots with ATGM, while USSR only get 2 IFV slots with ATGM (which is also being nerfed significantly)
New glass cannon Tank Destroyer..

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
Might be unbalanced slightly, as the K-17 is superior to NATO's Marder and Bradley in basically every way.
May take dev time if devs seek to remove the Double ATGMs.

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
I feel this suggestion should be accepted on the basis that tank regiments (USSR mostly) never touch IFVs, the K-17 would be a reasonable addition as it's not overly powerful and takes 3-4 AT4s / 2 Tank Cannon shots to kill. This suggestion wouldn't require any dev time, as the K-17 is in a functional state and could just be added alongside the addition changes to balance out getting a new ATGM IFV.

Suggestion Partially Accepted


Hi @Biscuits , the Content Team decided it would be a good compromise to keep the K-16 in the game and change it so it's similar to NATOs Marder. The main cannon for those two will be buffed to do more damage to infantry and ATGMs will be added to the K-16 (A ticket was already up about this).

Thank you for taking the time to make this suggestion!

Kind regards,
Dentos​
