When I first unlocked it I didn’t thought it was going to be that problematic until I realized I can just slingshots KH38MT’s from 14-16km’s at decent altitude and speed.
Remember at those times KH38 flight model was also busted and could reach greater distance than currently can.
Mav is a crap which does no damage in like 85% cases, even for light-armored vehicles.
Ok, is that an argument ?
Basically “yes, the game is russian biased, take it or leave it”
At least you’re honest, thanks
Still don’t get the “we” here. 90% of the people on here always balance the vehicle/nation around how they feel or outright personal bias.
In general yes. They want to give people reason to grind a nation , minor or major alike and the best way to do so is implement something that worth grinding and flock out 60~90 bux for pixe tank/plane. BMPT is a great example of this. Remember they still took their time before raising the thing BR to get some more money in , even tho I would raise it more so I can play 10.3 in peace.
And think about it , why did it take them years before we get new SPAA for everyone ? Simply because SPAA are boring and not that rewarding compare to a MBT or LT and the effect of not implementing more SPAA was not that impactful beside 2-3 thread complaining about CAS why would they care ?
Just marketing strategy and stuff. Take Japan for example. Look at ground , they got three top tier MBT and some how we got Type 10/TKX sitting at the same br as the 2A7/STRV/T90M. Don’t you think they , you know , may need some more vehicle or Type10/TKX getting some correction ?
Japan went through 3 major update and it got a good amount of Air addition and Naval , I wonder why. And all of the air additions are good to actually meta. Naval doesn’t count but Yamato class and stuff along with Nagato premium. Don’t you see pattern here ?
And nation with EF/Typorn instantly get a new premium following that , how strange. F18 copy and paste left and right. Italy got a Mig29 sniper.
My point is unless it affect their income they would not do anything. Russian biased or Nato biased or whatever. But there is a certain pattern to the thing they add and I don’t like it. All sign point to dollar sign and we are the losing one.
The only case where they actually care enough to work more than 5mins a day is the BMPT, for obvious reason.
It’s a simple phrase to remind anyone reading, generally the collective we, to never forget about a specific event when bringing up debates about top CAS, imbalance, and or unfairness because KH was unrivaled in least effort most reward.
Except to my understanding JP literally ends at the 10/TKX and for IFVS still have the Type-89 in service, they just don’t exactly have an explosive armoured division like that of say RU, US, GER, Most of the newest additions are for their Naval because there were a few BB missing and once that’s at a close I guess submarines (lol), even though RNB is basically a barren wasteland full of bots at any given hour. Beyond those additions all their premiums have been tech tree copy pasta essentially if not exactly 1:1.
Boring as it may be, you play down peoples capacity for revenge kills after being bombed lol. It’s almost assured after being AGM’d, Bombed/Revenged bombed, someone is spawning SPAA to attempt dealing with whatever aircraft. I also haven’t checked but I imagine there are scores of CAS complaints, idk how many times I see “Ground only mode” posts whether on here, reddit, or in-game. CAS has literally made a mess of top tier specifically FNF AGMs, anyone managing to maintain laser lock for bombs deserve whatever kill they get in the face of the new SPAA.
I wish the desire for profits wasn’t so blatantly obvious, F2P games obviously need to make money but man alive, most of the systems in place are meant to frustrate you into shilling out more in order to progress faster to a position of “relative” equality.
This isn’t consistent amongst most other tanks, so I’m not seeing the point here. Esepcially those that take direct Artillery hits to the roof
They could fix it by lower TKX/Type 10 BR or at least fix their armour and gun handling along with the acceleration. But they didn’t so there that. Basically nothing was done to make japan a worth grinding or even playing nation. Or maybe just give them SK vehicle , K2 would make a good addition but no we getting Oplot and thai vehicle, on paper it seem nice but still extremely meh over all.
TKX/Type 10 are still good vehicle don’t get me wrong but it skill floor has been raised significantly if you want to actually do good due to all the bs other nation get. People could just go for France instead cause MICA are still very strong and the Leclerc are basically the same if not better.
My point still stand , people really does not want to play SPAA unless it is a necessary. That the point.
They been doing this for a while , we got a good amount of premium are undertier but since they are premium nothing being done about it. They tried to pull the same thing with BMPT and expect the playerbase to suck it up but it turned out that doing so broke the 9.3-11.3 br range for a good while.
That’s what people said when the Pantisr S-1 came out, and everyone questioned why other nations don’t get an equivalent.
That was solely the playerbase not understanding that no other NATO nation has a mobile air defense system like the Pant sir, and it even when it came out, people started to slowly laugh off how “easy” it was too defeat.
Like with the Terminator, only some nations have specialized vehicles for special roles.
The only thing the U.S has in terms of competing with the Pantsir is basically humvees with stinger and Stryker’s with stingers and hellfires lol. (on a actual mobile platform)
I find hard to believe that the US, the nation with the most important military budget wordwide, by far, cannot compete with the russian military.
As well as other occidental nations, which have generally a much higher GDP than Russia.
EDIT : even though Russia allocates 35% of its GDP in the army, while the US and other occidental nations only 3%, the absolute value, in USD, between occident nations spendings and russian spendings is nowhere near.
U.S is more oriented on static defense systems, but their main strength is air superiority, so the need for devoloping a mobile defense system equivalent to Russias wasn’t neccessary.
Russia has such systems in place because achieving air dominance is unlikely in their situation.
Also why do you think so many nations got S.A.M systems and nothing like the Pantsir S-1, because if you look, they legitimately don’t have anything like it
So then add the IM-SHORAD. :D (I don’t even play US.)
They can, it just won’t be a Pantsir, and the Pantsir was designed to defend the Actual SAM systems, so it will suffer the same fate of being overwhelmed by munitions.
And I don’t think the Stingers themselves were meant to intercept munitions in the first place, just low flying drone targets.
and that is why us has bad missiles and nerfed airforce in this game right?
To keep on track with the whole BMPT/72 topic, I do want to note that the T-90 uses the exact same hull and interior layout with just some slight difference of not having a power system module and different (but similar) ammo layout.
This first clip here is the T-72B3A and it’s using basically the same layout as the BMPT/72
I see a LOT of clips showing angled shots and then some screeching about the armor when this is M900 against Relikt at an angle doing it’s job on a completely different chassis.
us got a good air tree what are you talking about. yes they dont have shorad and small sam like the tor or pantsir.
He means Stingers getting nerfed across the board some time ago.
Strela doesn’t count since it’s technically a large IR SAM system with different tracking techniques.
oh yeah thats on gaijin
The Black Panther? I imagine it was just easier for them to add the Oplot since it’s of RU design/inspiration and uses the duplet composite/ERA, whereas the K2 has so much more technology behind it, meaning if anything they’ll hold off on adding it so JP can get something when everyone gets 5-9 more additions. Just the reality of JPs self-limiting armoury, though I imagine that’s due to what I assume is more a shore defense/home territory doctrine vs intercontinental ventures. I was sad that the Leclerc got our one major strength in the 4 sec RoF autoloader, but we still have hydropneumatic suspension which allows us to be trollier on hill cresting lol.
Me sighing in frustration when first spawn has 2-3 SPAA, and I know I’ll still eventually get LMUR’d/KH38/29T.
The T2 is a carbon copy of the tech tree version, wouldn’t even give it the gun lead it had back when TT T2 was “OP” because of it, P-F2 is worse than TT variant with gods awful AIM-7Ms… P-Type 16 has a worse APFSDS dart than the TT version, I don’t own the “Red Star” type 74, but I assume because it’s in JP it’s mid at best, doesn’t even get APFSDS. P-BMPT is suffers from the fatal RU 3-crew setup, and is less bulked up like the TT version but still just as annoying regardless.
Another contribution from Russian developers to the poor Russian tree. I’m very saddened to see these efforts.
This is just to give some light that these are very similar chassis (similar setups) produing similar trolly results.
With context here, the X-ray gives a very bad illusion on the 1st vehicle that nothing is happening, when in reality that side shot hit parts of the ufp and that is why it got stopped.
