Ask for the Khalid to move up then next time there’s a BR update
The Chief 900 never should have gone up, it was a thoroughly average 9.0
It went up on its own merits, too good for 9.0
other than maybe the T-55AM, every other 9.0 is superior to it
edit: except Object 435 for obvious reasons
Ask for those to move up then
only “advantage” it had was its “fire power” but the reload made using a dm23 slinger just better, plus they are both slow, name what made them to good?
please ill wait
Firepower, depression, reverse, etc, etc, the usual qualities you look for in solid MBTs
for what purpose
I don’t believe the Leo A1A1/Type 74(E/F)/T-62M-1/ZTZ88s are 9.3 vehicles either
doesn’t break any penetration threshold vs M111/DM23 because it’s short rod apfsds
you trade reload for a bigger number on a card that in practice doesn’t mean anything
chief 900 players will certainly get that at 9.3 (no one is going to play it)
ah yes the incredible…* checks notes * -12kp/h in reverse, totally worth the same BR as a ZTZ96/Khalid/T-72A/Kpz/MBT-70
going forwards is also a big quality and the Chief 900 has almost the same HP/t ratio (it’s actually slightly worse) as the Object 435, the worst 9.0
It isn’t a 9.3 vehicle on any metric
Decompression
L23 is a long rod, just with earlier gen angle modifiers, about x0.93
Short-rods, in addition to the extra short rod penalties, have about x0.77
Its closely comparable to 9.3’s like the T-72A’s and ZTZ96
It is
Why should it? It’s not 9.7 material, and neither is this Chieftain 900 9.3 material.
Furthermore, gaijin does not listen to BR feedback. They never have.
“Furthermore, gaijin does not listen to BR feedback. They never have.”
This is not decompression.
Say how.
You did not think this through.
I worded that a bit poorly, what I tried to say there is whether or not it’s impossible to separate the tanks in these BR’s a bit so that people aren’t getting constantly full up/downtiered. But, now that I think of it, I can just stop playing at that BR and play something else instead.
the current queue times in rank VII russia are horrible.

it was never this bad 2 months after sales
I wonder what happens when two op vehicles are added undertiered and unfixed and people want to abuse that. Now with the arena in, its going to stay horrible. Legit several vehicles in different nations are rendered useless cause of the arena.
queue times are important amirite?
2 OP vehicles that are undertiered - nothing is being done to address the issue.
It’s always Russia that has this “issue”… and nothing is being done because it favours Russia.
Best CAS, by miles. With absurd fantasy FAF missiles. Heli immune to IR missiles. Constant buffs to vehicles such as reload ones. Absurd vehicles added which while they went up in BR simultaneously also got buffed and have completely unrealistic protection performance, etc.
Wow, I wonder why Russian queues are so long, maybe because there is hardly any reason to play anything but them at those BRs. So most folks now play lower BRs!
Edit, seriously the solution is obvious. Just allow Russia to fill both teams on it’s own without anyone else having to be involved. So they can enjoy facing their own fantasy stuff.
10.7 is just a clownshow right now. Its got nothing to do with the Arena, its all the BMPTrash
Played a match, put up against the glorious motherland as usual, we got steamrolled, everyone on my team quit after a death leaving an army of BMPT’s to drive around mopping up. Match ended after 7 minutes.
Absolute joke.
Go only up to 9.7. 10.7-13.0 is a shithole.
Basically, after spending much time in almost every BR bracket, I seem to have come to the conclusion that everything’s just the best at 3.0 to 4.7.
Unlike any other bracket, stuff are unusually balanced. Each nation still has their own specialties and players are all somewhat experienced. The gameplay at this bracket is just much more enjoyable overall with probably the most viable playstyles, there are no tryhards and no ODL, and uptiers are all completely manageable.
I’m not sure about air but afaik 3.0 is pretty fun too.
I really think there’s a lot more potential to early/mid WW2 BRs, it’s kinda sad there’s not much new being added to that bracket, without stuff to research at lower BRs the sweaty mess at 9.3+ is starting to seem like the most worthwhile option.
