Sorry about yesterday. I was a jerk.

The most simple thing they could try is to change the <=+1 and >=-1 is to just leave <+1 and >-1, that means strictly < or > …
But clearly they don’t want that.
Gaijin mechanic is to enrage and frustrate people so they would pay for premiums etc

Can a dev please justify the br/implementation of the Luchs for me?

I need something laughable to cheer me up.

Seriously tho wtf gaijin? First the luchs, then the pzh, then the typhoon… everything broken or crippled

Luchs at 7.3 seems okay when compared to Type 87 RCV at 7.7
It lacks stabilization but gets better reverse, thermals, more ammo before reloading and a bit of armor.

That’s what happens in rushed updates. PZH received many fixes over a few days.

the 87 is also over-brd but is more mobile.

Also how do both of them seem ok? You are a driving rp pinata. Russia and other nations have far more potent light vehicles at those brs, and you are useless against medium tanks and up as you cannot even disable their barrels

New Russian bias: BMD-4M.

19.6 HP/t on Luchs vs 20.3 HP/t on the Type 87 RCV. Former has much better reverse speed so I’ll have to give the mobility advantage to Luchs.

They are definitely not great but they aren’t trash either.

This simply isn’t true.

its a german vehicle, thats the explanation

can u say f 14 why they are at 12.7 there is no plane can handle them from 50 km away ?

for the same reason that Maus is fighting against 500mm APDS and HEAT shells (bad balancing)

i assume that you with 3000 battles dont have top tier (srry if u actually have)

F14 is kinda bad against modern ARH missiles, so what happens is that F14 (being american ofc) got the benefit of the doubt and was undertiered while many other vehicles are being overtiered because “they would be too OP in downtiers”

i mean tbh Phoenix missiles arent that crazy and the F14 has to kinda know how to launch because they arent reliable necessarily

Gaijin really needs to decompress.

Even one of the better 13.0 planes (F-4F ICE) still struggles in an uptier, and goes against planes with more missiles, and a hilarious level of flight performance.

Apparently, Gaijin thinks that a Phantom airframe and a Typhoon airframe are only worthy of being 0.7-1.0 apart (depending on if we count the better loadout as an extra 0.3, which we should).

Gripen C for UK needs some help the recent buffs to the Su-27/J-11 and the addition of Typhoon and Rafale. Combined with the worst Radar missile in the game at top tier the R-Darter. They can no longer play the only way they can because the Typhoon, Su-27 and Rafale with MICA EMs all do it better.

This jet no longer has a niche it cant bvr and it cannot rat anymore

Nothing can really be done about it really

Compression everywhere

We just need decompression, because top tier could very easily be 16.0.

It is. Unless you hit them at a perfect 90 degree angle from close range for several seconds.

The Luchs cannot accelerate at all when at a slight hill and is so slow that it can barely keep up with medium tanks. No chance of keeping up with other light tanks.

Oh and the fucking hvap shells shatter against the side armor of m18s when shooting them at medium distances 🙂🔫

You cannot reliably harm ANYTHING other than slow/low aircraft

Simple:

They want Americans to spend money to get it

Also no, irl this is very much not the life of wheeled vehicles. You seem to be extraordinarily unfamiliar with the properties of real grass

Yes, similar vehicles share the same faith, Luchs isn’t alone.

I’m talking from the in-game performance standpoint.
