The team has already made multiple mistakes if they let T-90Ms and T-80BVMs do that though.
Like that is like a dream target practice for nations like US, Germany, France, Sweden and Italy. Russian MBTs are pretty easy to fight for these nations, Russian top tiwr only becomes problematic when they spawn CAS.
Of course a nation seems to be the worst to someone who is just mediocre. (Not talking about you here obviously)
Ah yes you concluded that all Israeli tanks are more comfortable based on the experience of 30 battles in the Magach 6B Gal and 8 games in the Merkava Mk.2D?
US > Israel and it really isn’t even close at the majoritt of the BRs, except maybe 9.3 and 10.0 which are pretty great for Israel.
I think that due to the still powerful armor of bmpt in 12.7, increasing the weight is not enough to balance it out. I believe it would be more reasonable to restore the missile frame/grenade launcher and 30mm chain that explode at the slightest touch in the test server and retain the weight of 10.3.
Yeah I didn’t take it that way dw, but it did make me chuckle a bit the other day checking the stats of two people and they had terrible stats in the Falcon of all things.
Gaijin deliberately buffs the USSR. Pay attention: the entire game from BR 9.3 is balanced around the USSR. At 10.3 they have four tanks that significantly outperform the rest. For example, the penetration of shells from the TURMS or the T-80UD is about 450 mm, while the US M1 KVT (10.7) has only 370 mm. The Leopard 2A4 (10.7) with DM23 has around 400 mm. I understand that they are Russian and want to see their nation stronger, but not in such a blatant way, right?
Let’s not forget to mention that on top of strong shells, they also give their tanks very good armor. On my M1 KVT, I can’t penetrate that BMPT-72 at all, while it can penetrate me from any angle. I won’t even mention that playing at 9.3 has become impossible — I’m always matched against 10.3 USSR.
Sigh, the reason people are taking these complaints less seriously is because people keep claiming ridiculous things. The M1 Abrams (the tech tree KVT) is already more than fine where it is, its my highest performing stock grind (bar the T26E5) yet. And I regularly see people get nukes with it without just being a sneaky flanker.
Well no, lol. I know you like to try and trap people into gotchas and you do love your whataboutisms but I’m going to have to disappoint you.
The t-58 in particular is fundamentally almost impossible to balance, it’s practically a rolling contradiction.
Mediocre mobility, no stabiliser, no thermals, no laser range finder (thank god), a reliance on chemical rounds (no one is penetrating hardly anything with the aphe round) and armour that can be a bit trolly but isn’t really an issue for the things it faces.
What holds it down in br is obvious, just as what pushes it up (the gun and autoloader) is obvious. It’s stuck just like the maus and should probably have never been added.
The turm3? I don’t really have any issues with it. The only things it has going for it are the fire rate and coaxial auto cannon.
The bmpt is none of these things.
Excellent thermals, extremely strong top tier level protection, very high multi-channel firepower, good mobility for its weight and an absurdly forgiving damage model.
The correct solution is obvious: add the darts it should have and push it up to 11.7 to sit with the premium t-80. The single reason for its br placement is the ammunition which is a conscious decision by gaijin to keep it at 10.3 where its protection just isn’t appropriate for the br.
If it keeps happening you can complain to a moderator and they can remove their ability to do it I think, or give them a forum timeout for abusing the feature.
Good players fully understand that armor does not matter much at all ultimately and the two most important things are mobility and firepower, of which the turm 3 is top class in.
The mobility isn’t much better than the leopard? It has a what, 2 second faster reload rate and the 30mm over the leopard. Both use the L7 and I think have the same ammo? Not at my computer to check.
They’re super squishy, I don’t get the issue with it tbh.
