so the challengers are basically completely useless, and i mean completely like before they already werent very good but now there just a waste of space on the tech tree
That’s why they put the Abrams in the British tech tree, so they wouldn’t have to improve anything else. Now all that’s left is to wait for the Leopard 2A7HEL to completely bury any chance of improvement for the Merkava 4.
meanwhile russian tanks don’t get their “rotating floor” that completely knocks out the horizontal drive like we do, despite them having a functionally exactly the same thing IRL.
they wait for players to do it for them, and then deny their reports anyway.
In reality they have nation researcher’s, some of which are incredibly bias ((Ho-Ri Prototype being completely fake and made up for example)) as for how well they do their job… I’d say the models that get made from their research are great, however some of the finer details leave a lot to question. Some of the information isn’t researched before Gaijin try to fully implement things (or its ignored), which means when more info comes forward; they deny reports or just outright leave it to players to fix it. :/
I think part of why they haven’t gotten it is also because they lack neutral steering which would make the possibility they can turn and more accurately aim the cannon at you. But ofc I think you can still steer fine enough.
What is actually stopping them fixing the way the mantlet looks? Why have’t they lowered it back to where it was before the rework. I saw one of the devs on the bug report said it would all have to be remodeled and wasn’t worth it but I don’t get why.
