It took 2 weeks to nerf the spall liners, it took 2 days to nerf the armor from it’s og 780mm to the current 650mm, it didn’t even take 6 hours for Gaijin to nerf the acceleration.
The rest happened gradually, but these 3 happened basically straight away. They even tried to expose the turret ring more, FOR ALL LEOPARD 2s, because of the 2A7V (2A7V was also going to get it btw), until we bug reported it… and they only reverted that because they got called out, but they never actually bothered to fix the model in a way, that the turret rings should be protected/not exposed.
So again, was it german bias for years with the plethora of stuff they got?
2A5 dominates: nerf to mantlet within a week, making it much easier to kill, makes the turret ring exposed, lowers efficiency of inner cheek composites
2A6 dominates: the above but also slaps it with a longer reload (within 2 weeks)
2A4: performed well - massive (20%) nerf to the hull composite that persists to this day
all biases? , or can we not see that gaijin themselves do not test a damn thing which is added to the game.
Considering the fact APDS was directly nerfed due to Centurions who were the main users of it, and said nerf made the T-54 unpennable for a time…
When they didn’t test the Puma, they made sure to nerf it, and then never bothered to fix it, and that was within a week of it being at 8.3. They even made the driver’s hatch DM bigger to make sure it can be overpressured easily within a week…
BMPTs still haven’t been hit, and it seemed like they just so conveniently forgot about all the lessons learned from the M3A3 & Puma about releasing a broken AFV onto a much lower BR than they should be at…
Why you bring up their past transgressions, which were most of the time VERY QUICKLY ADDRESSED via both BRs and performance nerfs, to make an excuse for weapons/vehicles THAT HAVE BEEN DOING THE EXACT SAME FOR MONTHS NOW, but without any nerfs, and barely any BR adjustments, is illogical to me.
