From a pubbies point of view, the regular pubbie usually hears of the FV4202 negative stigma and immediately associates it with the tank being weak overall, not knowing that the upper plate is actually quite good they would shoot it. As more players play the fv4202, I suspect the gernerall play base would know more of where and where not to shoot the tank. But hey, I'm not purple so my speculation could just be average dumb pubbie fallacies.
