brother that was a 1 tap from rushing, your not immortal holy hell nato coping needs to be studied
Yep, agreed. Though that is the other solution. Just remove all the ERA from the BMPT. give it equal protection to every other IFV… in the game

Not at all what I’m saying. Easy to diffuse an argument when you skew it.
I’m not saying it doesn’t. I’m saying it has much better protection compared to all that it faces. It’s a direct counter to your “aim for the weakspot” argument, because you could genuinely pick a random place on the Abrams and it you’d have better chances of penning than not.
For newer Abrams variants, the armor is blatantly ahistorical. A bug report was posted here about the turret ring specifically, but 2+ years later and nothing has been changed. It’s hull in later variants is the exact same ingame as the 10.7 one. Do you really think that with an almost $1 trillion defense budget, the USA wouldn’t upgrade it’s MBT armor a single time in 40 years? If not, why is the modern armor classified? Why are the SEP/SEPV2 7-8 tons heavier without any armor to show for it? There is no reason for this to be the same hull other than blatant laziness.
Irrelevant because the BMPT has infinitely more armor and can survive hits directly, as you so nicely showed with one of your photos.
Again, not what I’m saying. Im saying that you say NATO players have a skill issue while the USSR has a factually easier time penning tanks ingame.
Again, no. I’m getting you off your high horse here. Don’t complain about the USSR potentially getting nerfed when it is grossly overperforming at high/top tier.

Don’t forget top tier naval and air.
Personally I can’t say much about naval, and I only have rank 8 air for the USA (rank 7 in a couple other nations though). I haven’t played top tier lately because the USA has been shafted for a few updates in a row now.

Top tier naval in a nutshell… I use to love playing Britain 7.7 and I now dont touch 7.7+ because I got fed of being one shotted by Soyuzs that I cant even damage in return. Their 8.7 is a paper ship which would be better balanced at 9.7. Gotta love how the nation with the worst navy of WW2 has the best top tier battleship. Only really the Iowa gets close, but I dont mind scrapping with them in my 7.7/8.0s anywhere near as much

Hint hint for USA air, the super hornet and GE is just sad to see fly. And spend 5 minutes reading about the soyuz. :)
Exactly. The USA needs a proper air buff since our “14.3” planes are genuinely worse than the F-15E at 14.0. I’ve checked out the soyuz forum too, and man, that’s abysmal.

What do you want done, specifically?
They’re definitely not meta but doing poorly with them is still a big skill issue. Top tier is generally about skill expression, not what jet you fly.
Every br? Please. How is it every BR? How are they overperforming at say, 8.3?
Your stats do not indicate the performance of somebody who does not struggle to deal with things.
Small weakspots that are hard to hit while the bmpt is currently killing you actively (it takes about 2 seconds on average)
Just came here to also say that I think this thing is the greatest example of greed and purposeful imbalance I have seen. :(

Yeah there is no doubt in my mind at this point that gaijin manipulates game balance purposefully to increase their sales count. Before you could at least say it was likely but not so implicit to be considered obvious. Now there is no doubt. P2W is definitely the way they work.
I think the USA was not quite ready for certain things to be added considering we are missing many weapons and the fact that AMRAAMS are objectively mid missiles in the current state of affairs.
The Golden Eagle was a pathetic excuse for a 14.3 and the Super Hornet is currently a missile bus that’s too slow to effectively use it’s missiles.
A proper buff would be a buff to the AIM-120C5, but not much more can be done without ruining balance. The next step to be added for the USA would, historically, be the F-22, and that can’t happen yet.
I have also heard that many top tier airframes for the USA are overweight by ~500kg or more, but I’ll have to double check that myself.
The strike eagle can also carry 28 GBU-53s, which are basically SPICE 250s. While I do not think it should be able to carry 28 of them (for obvious reasons), it should get access to more historical weapons.
Generally speaking I think there’s a lot more infrastructure that needs to be added before pursuing higher ranks, especially decompression. Electronic CMs, historical weapons, and an overly hopeful bomber update would be nice.
Definitely an overexaggeration on my part. I was referring more to high/top tier where they have objectively the best vehicles in the game right now (scroll up to my winrate post).
Sure but this turns an otherwise correct and respectable post to something lesser
I agree with this primarily

I’ll edit that out. Thanks for the revision :)
This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.
This was more of a discussion of ~10.0 that turned into a BR change discussion. Furthermore, your post didn’t even mention the Terminator until ~10 minutes ago. We weren’t breaking the rules here :)
My post discusses any and all vehciles, it’s a great space for discussion, and I did add the BMT.
Simply speaking here is a waste, and repeat topics are typically removed.
your post gives it no buffs for 11.0 smh give it darts atleast
This was not originally a topic about changing BR, and hence, is not a repeat topic. Moreso an expression of dissatisfaction with the addition of the Terminators.
