You’re referring to the repair costs when it was 40k+ yes those level of repair costs are prohibitive and as a community were agreed to be removed.
Thanks again for admitting that they work as a balancing measure.
Im not exactly saying they are a good measure. Other non-bomber aircraft have been affected by the same measures, but to a lesser extent. And some you could say was essentially negligabl
I am glad decompression and economy rework is essentially going away from repair costs as a balancing measure. Because it just hurts less skilled and non-premium players
“If taking out a vehicle meant losing 50k lions does it effect the average player’s inclination to use said vehicle?”
Yes
“Does Gaijin use repair cost to balance vehicles”
No
Making a vehicle unplayable is not balancing, it’s removing the vehicle.
The javelin has over 88% win rate. Guess it should be at 9.0?
It has 15G IR missiles. lol
You might not agree, but effectively reducing the occurance of a vehicle is a balancing measure.
It can be notably less aswell, like some planes/tanks costing 8-12k for a spawn in Ground RB was reason enough to avoid bringing them into battle.
It has firestreaks. What about it?
My F-84F is 8.3
Removing the vehicle from the game entirely is a balancing measure.
There are many things which are “balancing measures”.
Gaijin does not use repair cost as a balancing measure and has not since the community voted that that was a stupid ass idea.
There are multiple props that still do and high tier planes all cost around 13k
Certain heavy tanks reach around 8k Repair costs but 7k is mostly the upper limit
And? I know you havent played the javelin. Let me summarize for you, javelin isnt that good.
Javelin is an 8.3 jet with 15G IR missiles
I don’t know what else to tell you.
Good thing i didnt say they do so intentionally.
Thank you for confirming they exist? Idk why you are mentioning that given i was only saying that repair costs was a soft measure of balancing.
I am saying and have been saying repair cost is not used as a legitimate balancing measure nor should it be as it’s a bunk ass way to balance.
Damn, that is what i have been saying aswell

At least now we know for certain that you have no idea what you are talking about.
MuH FaVoUrItE YoUtUbEr says it must be good so it is. this was about a year ago, and it also isnt difficult for a youtuber to nitpick certain games where he does well and not include the games he does poorly.
You have proved two things replying like this, first of all that you have no agency and rely on others to make your opinons for you, and that even when you know you have no idea what you are talking about you refuse to just say “i dont know”. pure arrogance
The best part about the video he posted is that like 80% of the things he says about the javelin is negative.
DEFYN posts respected reviews of planes and has been doing so for years.
My favorite WT Youtuber is Pink
My second favorite is Malzi
I prefer Hunter’s WT videos to DEFYN’s but I usually use DEFYN’s videos for air comparisons on something I’m looking at because he’s a more knowledgeable air player.
If you are unable to recognize that there are people who are better at the game than you that is arrogance.
Yes the Javelin is not a fantastic jet.
It is still an 8.3 Jet w/ 15G IR missiles. In the hands of a skilled player it likely has better performance than the average 8.3 Jet, it certainly is something I’d rather fly over my F-84F.
Air RB has worse balance than Ground RB. I have no suggestions on how to fix it as I avoid it due to me finding the game mode boring as hell.
