Quite interesting, but tbh germany and America and Britain could use some multi gunned high RoF spans too between 8.0/8.3 to 9.3 and below 7.7 as well, planes are way too easy to play at these at 8.0, and they should be punished >:3
Jokes aside, what kinda BR will this sit at? Can’t be above the ZSU-37-2 cuz that thing has a radar already, maybe below? Things with radar tend to be at 8.0 and abov after all or 8.3 like the Gepard, would be nice to have a competent spaa at 7.3 or 7.0 filling out the zsu-57-2’s role as that’s not that great for spaa, or below that (tho unlikely)
If it sits at 7.0, it can’t really kill things there anyways, like at higher BRs unless you’re fighting an IFV and get lucky, pretty balanced already, but it’s really slow as well sp it can’t really do escort stuff let alone the fact that 50 cals can detonate your ammo
You do know that missiles are pretty bad now right, you’ll prob spend half your ammo just shooting some A-10 who’s trying to stratoclimb into your team’s spawn
Long awaited increased spaa rewards, improved radar tracking, anything more like encouraging people to play spaas too, spaas are probably treated the worst besides French atgm tds, I mean at least they aren’t meant to fight planes (but still have 20mm cannons lol)
Nah, the devs only make changes to vehicle specs based on what their “informants” tell them, that’s a whole other thing on its own, so they won’t even listen to classified or declassified documents until their informants catch up with it, which is extremely frustrating
And I mean it matters less when the devs can just decide “nah, well just add this or remove this and add this thing the community really needs like 4 years later and give an excuse”
If you want to make this argument for asymmetric balancing than NATO nations get increased access to CAS aircraft. The doctrine that created more SHORAD is because of the threat they faced. You want to throw “historical” accuracy into the argument the US air tree would be drastically more dominate. F-4Cs wouldn’t need to fight Mig-21SMTs or Mig-21MFs, they’d be fighting Mig-21F-13s. Me 163s against B-17s, etc. NATO countries developed a lot of prototypes and concepts that can be used to “balance” the game.
This vehicle is a classic Smekalka approach both game wise and historically. Its an easy copy paste tank with the biggest change being the removal of radar. The T1E1 is just a slightly changed T1 and M6. Summer update most of the new items will be slightly modified existing units.
Doesnt even need to be that complicated. If there is genuinely the issue that NATO/western nations dont have as many options for SPAA because they relied more heavily on air superiority (which I think is a total fallacy, there is loads of options available). Then make our CAP cheaper to spawn in than soviet/eastern nations that have plenty of SPAA options. Id have no issues with spawning a fighter instead of an SPAA 99% of the time except for the fact it costs so much more.
Pretty sweet and historical modification of the vehicle. Designed during the Soviet-Afghan War and can be paired with our other modification that came out during that time, the BMP-2D. Exciting 🤙
Probably BR 7.3 to fill the gap between the ZSU-57-2 and the ZSU-37-2. Good filler spot but I think there’s more pressing things that could have been focused on nevertheless I will definitely use it.
They don’t even like to balance similar aircraft. Because the A-10 can bring a little more AGMs vs the SU-25 its 10.7 vs 10.3.
How long did it take for the Strella to get moved up? Feel like the US ground tech tree is purposely weak because they’ll never get top tier US balanced.
It takes more effort to add a whole new vehicle compared to just removing the radar and doubling the ammo on an existing vehicle. I’ll even bet you that it will be bugged and might retain features of the radar shilka due to c&p
