F-15A never had HMD does it?
Only F-15C and E were provided with HMD/S systems
from all i see, none were ever used on F-15A (even the VTAS used on F-4J/F-4S USN aircrafts, and thought for both F-15A/F-14,… but the 2 last got denied before VTAS even reached a cockpit)
Thanks for considering our feedback, the list has certainly improved.
Even then there are still decisions that don’t make sense to me, and some glaring omissions.
Firstly, the 2S38 is way too strong for it’s current BR. It is equal and in some cases superior to HSTV-L both in terms of performance and most importantly it’s overall combat utility. You would expect the BR to reflect that. The 2S38 should be going up to meet HSTV-L at 11.3, or both meet each other halfway at 10.7 or 11.0.
Also, the Chinese M60A3 TTS is still inferior to the US counterpart at the same BR, changing the order of researchable modifications doesn’t change the performance in any way. My suggestion is to either give the Chinese vehicle M774 and researchable ERA module, or lower BR to 8.7.
You were on to something with the F-5E, it should be going to 11.0.
The F-5C is also ridiculously strong at 10.3, either it should go up to 10.7, or have it’s performance nerfed in some way.
T20 has no place at 6.3, even with APCR which is a sidegrade at best. The T20 should stay at 6.0, and the M26 reverted back to 6.3.
Alright, so if the falcon is going up to 8.3 (AA, no radar) then can we assume that every other nations AA around the rank, is going up? take the ZSU-37-2 first, 37MM with Radar, or the M-163 which has radar…
i feel like a broken record at this point but HOW does the somua and ebr stay at 7.7 but the two other with 210mm pen goes to the same br as an Obj 906? no idea why the sudden hate bonner for the BC25t is comming from its been 3 br changes gaijin is trying to dunk on it. Cant wait to face T-55 point n clicking me with their full stab at the same br.
2S38 is significantly slower, larger, and less survivable (though the fuel tank eats a lot of stuff it shouldn’t) than the HSTV-L. the 2S38 definitely does need to go up, but it’s not equal to the HSTV-L
(MiG-21MF and superior also should get bumped by 1 step,… in my book, even the Mig-21F13 and -PFM and -S should be bumped → currently doing 2 KD in MiG-21F13,… a “difficult” aircraft to play,…)
[EDIT: Along similar one in chinese TT]
(Japanse Tiger premiun aka Heavy Tank No. 6) move from 6.0 to 5.7 = His model is more closer to H1 than E, suffer from nasty and useless “S-minen” launches can block his gun in critical situations with terrible consequences or just move the stupid “S-minen” .
(SPz LG3 12-3) move from 6.7 to 6.3 = This tank is extremly bad, long reload, poor post pen and mediocre movility is ridiculous he stay in 6.7 when you have by far better options in low BRs. For example M41 with HEAT, faster reload and movility is 6.3 or the Jagdpanzer 90 in 6.3 too. In another trees you cand find faster and more powerfull HEAT slingers in 6.0 , so is senseless 6.7 for this crap tank.
(ARL 44) move from 5.3 to 5.0 = Big turret with poor armor and bad movility plus reload speed.
(Vidar) move from 8.0 to 8.7 = Really dont need any explanation.
The 2S38 compensates for it’s slightly worse chassis with other qualities such as 3x faster fire rate (0.5s vs 1.5s), much higher ammunition capacity (148 vs 26), HE-VT, IRST and higher quality thermals.
Also, the 2S38 does not have a loud gas turbine engine that makes you audible from across the map.
Even then I wouldn’t go so far as to say the 2S38 has the “worse” chassis. It is larger yes, and technically has less armor, but that works to it’s advantage. It spalls very little, especially side shots, which combined with the amount of “void space” inside the vehicle makes it surprisingly survivable. Compared to HSTV-L which is very cramped, meaning any penetration is bound to take out the crew or hit ammunition/fuel.
The upper front plate is extremely angled and can auto ricochet most rounds that land there, it is conveniently placed at the height which most people aim for reflexively. It’s turret is also entirely unmanned, whereas the HSTV-L only has a low profile turret.
In their current state I still believe the two are more similar than expressed by their BRs. I vehemently believe the 2S38 should go up. I’m not proposing that the HSTV-L goes down however, rather buffed to be on par with historical data. If it got HE-VT, aircraft tracking, penetration similar to M774, 1s reload rate, I would even be content with a BR increase. As it is now however, it is rather sad at 11.3.
