10.3 British Ajax Is DoA

Dont forget i nthe exact same update they added the SU-34 with 6x KH-38MTs

Yep. Also dont forget about air and naval.

PoW, Vanguard, Rodney, etc. All basically rendered DOA by Soyuz

And even the Typhoon is hard-pressed to compete with the Su-30SM2 which has a better radar, better missiles, more missiles and after the recent UFO buffs. possibly also a better FM. I am 100% certain that things FM is overperforming quite a bit. But god forbid they fix Typhoon reports from 12 months ago

I honestly don’t play naval, after what they have already done to our air and ground I don’t think I could handle the trash they would do with our Navy.

I never once found the Typhoons to be better then anything RU had. Missile spam simulator at top BR was always horrendous and the Typhoon when I got it ( 1-2 days after release ) was given the Sea Harrier Radar I believe as a place holder that wasn’t refreshing enough to even keep a lock for BVR missles to work.
So I ended up using the missiles the same was I would with SARH anyway. I spaded it before the radar was fixed and I rarely touch it anymore because I just hated the experence so much.

AESA Radar should have been an upgrade not a 400k+ RP sink to research a second Typhoon just to have to spade another one in the current BS that is top tier

Essentially, imagine if the max BR in ground was 10.3 (so delete everything 10.7 up) with all the issues going on with BMPT. Thats the Soyuz. So there was nothing above it and no way for it to move up and the only thing fighting is weaker vehicles

basically, yeah, that radar and the radar it had for the first 6 months was aweful.

M-scan is okay these days, but yeah, outclassed by anything with ESA.

I dont mind it too much long term, because hopefully Meteors and/or ASRAAM soon, and then it makes sense to have a seperate platform. but short term it could have changed more.

  • Brimstone 2s
  • Litening V
  • eDASS
  • Even just CFTs

They could have made it more unique to the first one.

and then they also failed to fix any reports for the Typhoon ontop of that

Since when did RU ever have a semi decent navy??

Yup, I found it impossible to play properly. not sure how the UK one was the one with the worst implimentation of the “placeholder” radar. I flew mine at the same time my friend flew his German on and his radar would actually refreash and keep targets in tws mode, mine wouldn’t.

My problem is that in the long run from what we see in there choices so far, they may add yet another Typhoon with these modifications, and lets be fair none of them will perform correctly and RU will already be firing more superiour stuff.

Since Russia started re-writing history.

No idea.

Unless they had better connection?

Yup, most likely

I think a bug report was accepted at the time saying about the refresh rate on the UK typhoons place holder been bugged and target dropped from radar view because it didnt refresh in time. So we got a bugged sea harrier radar. While I can’t remember which they used for the German typhoon. But no matter what we tried his radar was always working better then mine and I ended up carrying max Aim-9M’s and used Aim-120’s as a back up

It should be removed, without a complete damage model overhaul at top tier they are still very strong

Sorry to go off-topic as well, but to be fair we only have 3 LAVs in the game (2 if you don’t count premiums), the game could use many more.

I’d agree if they put in more varients then the standard Gat Gun / Hydra config, there rather boring

Gaijin need to rework the T-80/90/72 autoloader it has to stop the tank from firing.
Cannot take this anymore side shots disabling everything but the actual gun.

Either make it explode or make it disable the gun/turret mechanism

Welcome to strikeshield in WT, it has been really bad ever since it was added with the KF41 ~1.5 years ago.

I am finding the Ajax great. I have a 2.0 KD with it. Flanking, scouting and supporting the team works really well. You can take out most enemies from the flanks and rear. Some from the front with very specific weakspots. Especially driver hatches ,sprockets and turret necks etc.

Tbh Ajax should not be same br as 2S38. The latter is literally better than Ajax. And BMPT, that thing should go to hell.

1 Like

2S38 is just under BRed, it always has been, but since the decompression it could quite comfortably go up to 10.7/11.0 without even denting its performance.

Unfortunately, being a soviet premium, it gets spammed by a lot of bad players and so its stats are artificially reduced and as we all know…

they-listen-to-everyones-opinion-right-v0-lizpgsxvdp9d1

So it wont get moved up, despite being notably stronger than any other AFV at that BR

I’m not an expert on either, but the Boxer CRV I’m pretty sure is much larger and with a worse cannon? The APS I haven’t seen work a single time while killing them, even with slower rounds and ATGMs.

And the Ajax iirc gets AHEAD.

Apparently the APS only works front aspect or something, so yeah, very limited coverage currently (I assume its wrong though)

It should be quite a decent Spike slinger, given its quite low BR (relatively speaking) but yeah, between terrible spike modeling and the inherrent toxic nature of that BR… Its not looking perticularly healthy. Ironically though, ive heard people having better success running it at 12.0+ than 10.7.

Im looking forward to unlocking those and the HE-TF shells, im close, next 2 mods to unlock.

I find better results at 11.7+ w/ the Type 25 RCV and Type 89 FV than at their respective BRs. I feel like autocannons get better as you go up. Hence why the Type 87 RCV (P) I find better at 8.3 rather than 7.7 as most tanks at 7.7 have armour all around, whereas at 8.3 you start to face cold war tanks with weaker sides.

Being an op vehicle – bad players spamming it – it has bad statistics – not get nerf.

Being an underpowered vehicle – only good players use it – it gets good statistics – never get buffed, get nerfed even.

This cycle is common, but ridiculous and should not be justified imho.

Yeah, it is stupid

People are taking it to top tier and it still performs incredibly well. And while it was moved up, it was also artificially buffed to be more surivable.
