Create a gap between ww2 and cold war vehicles and tech

This isn’t balanced. Or do you think the ASU 57 is as good as a early T54?

Apples and oranges. What if an ASU-57 could start the game from anywhere on the map (“airdropped”)?

It would still perform poorly. And as a extra what about the ikv 72?

If would perform poorly if you tried to use it as a tank and not a light self-propelled anti-tank gun. Likewise with the IKV. Most players don’t take advantage of its extreme gun depression.

My point was that you should not think in terms of only changing one thing, but that the entire game should be reworked because Gaijin has painted it into a corner and is stuck with a game structure that does not reflect its subject matter very well.

SIR THE THING HAS SIXTY MILIMITERS OF PEN (85 on only AP, but the APHE is the only relavant shell it has)

how tf do you expect that to do anything against a T-54 or IS-3???

Shoot it in the sides?
I’m pretty sure the Sweeds had a 75mm HEAT in the 50s too.

You want both the ASU and the ikv to have a higher be than the American T34?

Not for this gun- its quite literally the same one as the Strv m/42 EH. Also shooting it in the sides wont work for most tanks around that BR, it has so little pen- assuming you can even get close enough, as it can quite literally be 7.7d.

And this is the biggest crock of bullshit I have ever heard. Gaijn has made it very, very clear that they want balance and not blind adherence to realism, while still keeping it a good simcade- which it is right now.

And according to Wikipedia the ikv fired only he sounds balanced to me.

You are still only thinking 2 dimensionally.

Then what is an anti-infantry howitzer doing in a tank shooter game.

The ikv 72 is a nice addition to rank 1 Sweden.

You are pro realism. Do you also want your German tanks and planes to spawn without fuel?

It’s not a good reason.

You love logical fallacies don’t you.

Do you want some he rounds of the bf 109 to fail because of sabotage?

Ok let’s say very limited fuel.

I say a fun fact about how wide of a spread “historical” engagements can be. And now i dont get to know how a year based matchmaker would work with Warthunders vehicle set.

Correct, and thats why we have what WT is now, which I rather like. The reason why there isnt this “historically accurate battles” that y’all seem to want is because gaijn realizes that within that framework there cant be if they want balance- that is why the BR system is how it is.

WT isnt a historical simulator, it isnt meant to be a mirror of irl situations, it is a game.
