I suspect that Gaijin compressed two different BR vehicles into the same BR, otherwise it’s difficult to explain why playing with the 8.0BR vehicle has such a large drop
T54 at 8.0BR is more reasonable because it has better turret protection and a wider variety of shells compared to T541947
Surprisingly, the ZTZ59A and T54 are in the same BR, while the ZTZ59A has a stabilizer and laser rangefinder, and the stabilizer still does not fail at 40km/h. In my opinion, ZTZ59A has at least the same strength as T54A, but it is in the same BR as T54
But if you think ztz59a should go to 8.3br, then you are completely wrong. Because the T55a is at 8.3, its stabilizer is stronger than the ZTZ59A, and it also has a 3bm25 and better hand feel.
If you think it’s enough to enjoy T55a, then you’re still wrong. Because ztz59d1 is also at 8.3, and its strength completely surpasses that of T55a
Seeing so many powerful enemies, the T54 seems weak, but this is still not right because Leopard 1 has been squatting in the trash can for many years
I am not targeting any vehicles from any country, it’s just that my gaming experience has been disrupted. When I want to play with powerful vehicles, I always worry that suddenly they will go to a higher BR. When I play with a weak vehicle, I have very little gaming experience. Anyway, I have to stay away from this BR
8.0 is pretty dookie because of compression, and it really doesn’t help that so many people cough cough Brit mains cough cough are always asking for 8.3-9.0s to be moved down
It’s also weird how compressed specifically 8.0 is, just the power difference between some 8.0s and other 8.0s. Like the Chinese T-54 models you said, or the OF-40 being just a better Leopard 1 with also a LRF, or the Magach whatever with M111 and ERA, or the CLOVIS just being a quite substantial direct upgrade of the DF105
there are a lot of examples - magach 5 and ztz59a (type59 too) are the most outrageous ones
shot kal alef and cent mk.10
magach 5 and m48a2 g a2 (that german shitbox at 8.3 lmao)
m60a3 tts (us and chinese)
chieftain mk.3 and mk.5
df105 and clovis
amx30b2 and brenus
i really doubt that this will get resolved in near future since this br is not a big moneymaker for gaijin
the chinese version also lacks ERA, which unironically hurts it since there are quite a lot of atgms and hest in general at that br
shot kal alef has better apds, and a better engine
mk5 has a better engine with no drawbacks
also that apds is no slouch, i think the tank is alright at 8.7 (i was just pointing out that the better tank sits at the same br)
brenus is straight up better than the b2, has era and EIREL
