Yeah, shall we start counting how other nations have historical inaccuracies because the American mains cried about it, or are you just going to casually forget about the Brimstone debacle? I mean, it took how long for the OTOMATIC to get APFSDS, and even then, it still doesn’t get the proper mags. Then we had the Mirage premium that didn’t get Magic 2s until recently. MiG 29s are not modelled properly (they should be on par as the F-18, if not better). The Russian missiles are not modelled properly. Then we have Britain who gets shafted every time we get something, such as the Harrier T-10 not getting BOL pods “for balancing issues” (just forget that the A-10 is constantly at a BR where they’re fighting flareless jets at 9.3). Oh, and the TTD is supposed to be equipped with a 120mm cannon (5 120mm turrets were created), as well as a 140mm cannon, but that’s not in the game. Solid Shot works terrible in game, while in real life, there was virtually no difference between Solid Shot and explosive filler (hence why Britain hardly used explosive filler). HESH rounds don’t work properly, and have been complained about for years.
Meanwhile, when Americans cry for a buff for their already excellent aircrafts and tanks, they get it. The only exception is the ADATS, but that’s because you cannot throw the PATRIOT system on the back of a Ford F-150 and call it a SPAA.
Not long, seeing as it got them on release. Here is a video from 6 years ago of the 1.85 dav server, which was the update which added the Italian ground tree. Just skip to 4:29 and see what modifications it has:
beepbeepbeep my bullshit detector went off again. Here is another video, this time from the Apex predators update 2nd dev server (2 years ago). Skip to 1:53 and tell me which missiles you see in the modifications:
Same as German and Russian mains, but looking at your biases you will likely just deny that these complaints and likely even the buffs ever happened.
Not entirely true. People complained about wanting a better armored Abrams. Gaijin giving the Abrams a reload buff was not something the people asked for or wanted initially. Hell I think a lot of people would happily have the reload buff reverted if it means getting the Abrams fixed and adding a properly armored Abrams as a 2A7/122 counterpart.
What? You talking about Mavericks? They’re miles away from being broken and also they’re not KH38’s and the F16C dominating Ground Realistic battles era is long gone.
You call it crying, we call it complains and they must exist since so many bugs and unnecessary additions were implemented either wrongly or not added at all.
But go ahead buddy, Germans can cry over the 2A7 having less hull armor.
Russians can cry over not having FnF missiles for their Helicopters while having the best ATGM called Vikhr.
Russians can cry over the bad reverse speed and bad reload while the second best tank and the best Ground lineup ever.
But when an American player suggest an issue like bad armor on the Abrams or Hellfires are so slow or Mavericks are from the 80’s he get attacked and he’s crying.
Also barely scratching the surface of the Russian arsenal.
Though they do tend to get cooler things before everyone else which is slightly peeving, AASM would have been nice earlier, but we have them now. Except the big one.
I want to say they do have an equivalent to the CBU 105, but not the GBU 53, as that is far too subtle of a solution for the Russians. As is probably obvious given the development of glide 3 tonne bombs. Though I may be missing something in that regard.
Seems the weapon Russia considers equivalent from their state outlets is Drel. I am not sure I would call that equivalent to GBU 53, but there you go. Seems it is closer in functionality to 105, but apparently they’re comparing it to 53.
Wouldn’t call it worse, has some functionality I’d argue make it better, so I’d say it’s different but not better nor worse. If you can get to the area to drop the CBU, then probably better, but if you can’t seems Drel has a bit more functionality.
This is provided that functionality works, given the unfortunate circumstances Russia has saddled its manufacturing with.
Aye, and if you can get that to the target, it is much better. But if your target is angy, Drel seems a bit more able to manage it even if there’ll be less effect on said targets.
To answer the functionality:
Supposedly they’re making it glide-y. Seems the Russians have gotten pretty good at making stuff glide a decent way.
