Gaijin waiting for the stock to sell off for it I guess
yes and that does happen to WWII heavy tanks. it’s called the Ratel 90
germany has slightly similar vehicles but they aren’t pampered down 4.3, 6.3 and 6.7. and i wouldn’t even want to play them if they did.
The ratel is slow and is the size of a school bus.
It also isn’t stabilized so you r got anything while moving.
I am curious about the lack of discussion regarding helicopter BR (Battle Rating) discrepancies. The performance gap among helicopters with a BR of 11.0 is quite significant. The AH-1W has targeting equipment that is as poor as its counterparts with a BR of 10.7, and it is rated higher by 0.3 BR solely because it can launch AIM-9L missiles. However, these AIM-9L missiles even conflict with the Hellfire missile mounts. On the other hand, the Z9WA, also rated at 11.0 BR, carries TY-90 missiles which, although they also use AKD9 mounts, are not only far superior to the AIM-9L but can also carry four missiles on a single mount.
The Tiger HAD helicopter is equipped with AGM-114K missiles, Mistral missiles, excellent targeting equipment, and a cannon with minimal dispersion, while the A129 CBT only has poor targeting equipment, AGM-114B missiles, and a 20mm cannon with significant dispersion. This seems clearly unfair.
The Swedish HKP9 (FC) helicopter is armed with only four TOW-2 missiles, yet its BR is 9.7. Meanwhile, the Israeli MD500 can also carry four TOW-2 missiles, but its BR is only 8.7. Although the BO105 airframe of the HKP9A (FC) is indeed superior, the difference between the two does not justify a 1.0 BR gap.In comparison, the AH-1F and AH-1S helicopters are equipped with eight TOW-2 missiles and a cannon. Although the Cobras’ maneuverability is somewhat inferior to that of the BO105, it is clearly superior in terms of overall capability.
Additionally, in Ground RB (Realistic Battles), it’s unnecessary to artificially enhance underperforming top-tier tanks just to keep them at a higher BR. For example, the Leopard 2A6 was given the never-used DM53 shells and a higher rate of fire, and the Merkava had its rate of fire increased, all just to remain at a higher BR. Similarly, the Challenger 2 is clearly weaker than other tanks at the same BR, and its BR should be lowered. My point is that if a nation lacks tanks suitable for top-tier BR, they shouldn’t be placed in inappropriate tiers. If this results in those nations not having top-tier BR tanks, it’s not a problem; they can simply be placed at a lower BR. Let’s not forget that when China was first introduced in 2019, its best tank was the ZTZ96A, while other nations already had superior tanks like the M1A2 and Leopard 2A5. Yet, this didn’t prevent the ZTZ96A from having a lower BR than other top-tier MBTs.
Another issue is with the British MBTs. The first Challenger 2, apart from having more advanced thermal vision devices, doesn’t seem to have any advantages over the M1A1. However, the Challenger 2’s BR is higher than that of the M1A1.

Turm III → 8.7
Just saw this thing get the fastest nuke I’ve ever seen. It’s got over 20 HP/tonne! It’s got an autoloading 105mm and a coaxial 30mm. It’s dual plane stabilised. It’s ridiculous to be the same BR as Vijayanta which it undeniably outspeeds, out fire rates and out firepowers.

No idea what you’re trying to say here
It needs DM23 and 8.7-9.0
My favorite Air RB planes were higher tier Russian Jets, but I can say the supposed “Russian Bias” is definitely over, and you are right, US Jets are the thing right now, and it is a money thing. But I will say this, in every major war since the late 80s, US aircraft, or NATO aircraft do, in reality seem to dominate the field. Well said mate, money seems to be a big factor in game now, more so than it used to be. I am starting to believe it is the main motivator in the development of planes in game, or if not, a big factor. Good Luck Mate
I only fly aircraft mate, but I have run into this many times, somebody is going on and on about a particular vehicle, come to find out they neither do not have it, or have very few missions in it. LOL well said in my opinion.
This doesn’t matter in WT since we balance by BR, not year of introduction.
Yeah, this thing is pretty crazy. Also, technicially it has a 3 plane stabiliser it’s just not modelled like that in-game.
Doubt it’ll get DM23 as the tank predates the round considerably but then again Gaijin make weird choices sometimes. It may not work mechanically either tho
Yeah, we have time traveling HEAT for Germans and time traveling APDS for the Swedish. So the precedent is there.
Literally does not matter because gaijin doesn’t follow any rules regarding this.
@Just_Baron
To follow up on your MM thread, I found several players in your team that have 10.0+ vehicles unlocked. For example, player ZOMB3ykiller_ has more than 100 games in a Leopard 2A4.
He was my squadmate and was not playing his Leopard 2A4. It was not in his lineup.
Having a vehicle unlocked does not mean you’re using it in a match.
Was kk058148 your squadmate ?
He has Namer 30 and a 10.0 plane.
TyfoonTTV has multiple 10.0+ vehicles in US tree.
Yeah I know, but it’s also not required to spawn your highest BR vehicle in a game. Sounds weird but this is WT.
Once again, owning a vehicle does not mean you have it in your lineup. I own the entire Israel and German tree with US, USSR, and UK getting there, but I often don’t play the highest BR I have.
This line of thinking doesn’t make sense when you further realize that they would not be using a Kpz-70, Leopard 1A5, and other 9.3 vehicles in a lineup as their first spawn (or any if they’re sane) where they can see 11.7 tanks such as with the Namer or Leopard 2A4.
