Tbh 10.3 lineup is peak UK. Chally 1 is okay, lynx is great, Stormer is a mixed bag, but overall good and unique SPAA. Haven’t played the Jaguar GR1A but you can’t go wrong with 2 LGBUs + aim9G. What I really want is the Stormer AD because sometimes I’d rather have Stingers and a gun rather than Starstreak

doesn’t surprise me at all… it makes me truly sad-

Imo, Britain have been like… cheapened out at most turns in the game. Rather than giving us AS-90 or Abbot, they gave us the M109. Both Abbot and AS-90 would have made more sense. Scimitar i’m surprised hasn’t already been added, seeming a the Falcon literally exists, and now they have the Fox too. take turret off fox, put onto falcon chassis. ta-da, scimitar. ((very simplified)) - it just feels like they just dont want to anymore.

10.3 is ok, but it’s far from what other nations can field. we lack a real light tank the VFM5 can sit in and the Desert Warrior is a thing. But there is balance at that BR

Oh totally. 10.3 russia or Germany or Sweden is insane. Would be great if UK wouldn’t stop being playable beyond 10.3 since all the Challengers 2&3 are what they are, an overtiered fabrication of sick mind. Not to mention how ADATS is a crap SPAA but I digress…

@DevilO6 add this to the suggestion section, since this one is actually still open.

Of course its not just only Britain, but Britain is revelant to the topic at hand.

For some memes I have a copy for every nation so I can post in the relevant thread if need be.

Im not that delusional to believe only Britain suffers.

Dont worry, im not saying you are. Just wanted to add that, so anyone who might come here and read that just might look at the other problems. After all, the more of us rise our voice the better.

I can get the Abbot, because 105mm HE is probably a bit wonky for our purposes, but the AS90 makes no sense. Guess its the effort of modelling a new tank?

tbh I don’t think most of us want to. I genuinely feel drained playing WT.

I feel this. I’ve mainly stopped playing MBTs and have been only spawning in the Stormer on maps that aren’t city Call of Duty maps and able to thoroughly enjoy my experience. I can sit back and relax while playing the game.

If I get a city map, I just spawn the Fox and try to get to sneaky spots just so I die and move onto the next game.

I mean, I was researching the TES and just finished it. I wanted the CR2s because a) absolutely gorgeous marketplace camos, and b) I’m a tea drinker, of course I want it. The godawful stockgrind, the issues with CR2, combined with the lack of viability of some high tier aircraft in Sim, and the not great “balancing” going on in ARB have just killed my interest in playing on my own. I basically only play customs, or with friends for kicks and giggles now.

I gave up playing the Challenger 2 after the god awful rework and treatment of the bug reports afterwards.

If I want to play a tank that plays like a 1950s heavy tank, I’ll go play 7.7 with Conq and Fox and enjoy my time, at least there’s more balance between tanks in that range.

Challenger are not 11.7 or 11.3 worthy because hill camping isn’t going to do you any good at 11.7. How about trying to move around, oh your a brick shit house and your ammo placement is arguable worse then T-series tank, good luck enjoying your time.

The amount of time I’ve invested in this game dropped after Object 292 event. I’ve spent more time reading the forums then I have playing the game.

I got there, started doing okay in it, but just wasn’t progressing that fast in the grind. Normally I bag a kill or two before I get nuked with CAS but I just can’t enjoy it.

Conker my beloved. If it weren’t for it randomly shattering on angles it just shouldn’t, i’d play that thing all day.

Relate! I’ll play one game every so often to reinstate my talking privileges.

Conq is by no means perfect, I also may be a minority but I thoroughly enjoy the Conq at 7.7. I think its perfectly balanced at where it sits. And you get the Fox and AML-90 when you feel like ratting with a car.

My only disdain for 7.7 is the lack of any usable AA against CAS. CAS runs rampart at 7.7 as all AAs suck shit. We seriously need more proxy AAs, more WZ-305 please.

I’m not even going to say but that first (not a bug) … Yeh we all know

some of it hasn’t been fixed over multiple years, since the first challenger 2 got added.

The person is me and now what spite bug reporting?..you are a class act
