Define “exceptional” because the Is-3 / Is-6 / is-4m / T-10A, can’t pen the Maus unless your barrel is quite literally shoved into the lower side of it.
And all of these can die to the maus a bit too easily if im honest. SYX simulations showed that the Maus really shouldn’t be able to head on the IS-4M as easily as it does in game.
Pretty much every other heavy can kill a maus easier
Biased ≠ balanced
Hmm, my favorite vehicle, the Ka-50 was nerfed
It first got dropped from
•1200mm pen to 1000
•Br increased
•Then got the nerf to firing all its ATGMs one after another.
•Then its sp cost got massively increased due to its proxy fuse in the Vikhir.
I didn’t complain about it, other than the pen, because they reduced the pen from its realistic pen to a fictional pen for balance. And otherwise it was fair and balanced with the nerfs, and realistic all in the same.
I do have a realistic complaint regarding other helis, the Mi-35 is an over B’rd heli, and all its counter parts are at 10.3 but they greatly outclass it. But that’s for the purpose of balancing it.
All of these changes were desperately needed for overall balance at top tier and the ATGM changes were only performed under the pretence of more realism, none of which can be applied to the Fox since it’s been modelled very well and can’t have it’s pen or mobility adjusted without outcry since it’s practically unwarranted, the only nerf the fox can or should feasibly see is yet another BR bump but that would only make it more potent so it’s a catch 22 for you;
Leave it as is and have to occasionally face an annoying tank or have it go up and be massively more problematic at a BR where it fights thinner armour and even more premium players…
In the specific context of it vs a Chinese helicopter, yes.
the game spaghetti code does not care about what you think “should” happen
and?
I am not sure a fox will win against a Z-10
Honestly its the most effective anti air option the British have at 7.7
I’ve shot down a good few helis with the Fox.
You mean the Skink is no good for dealing with Helis? :P
I wonder why… They are from the same era… and same BR :P
I have shot down scimitars in SQB with a warrior, rardens has a good muzzle vel but the fire rate is subpotimal
Just wait till you can shoot down a Scimitar with a Scimitar :D
So pretty much everything else needs a buff according to you then.
Especially the poor BTRs.
I mean I’m down. Either buff all the other light tanks, or nerf the fox am I right?
(Again, higher br = higher rewards)
And most ATGM nerfs were for tanks…
May I remind you Tiger UHT didn’t get nerfed as hard an it has FNF IR ATGMs which you can fire all of them, then land and repeat over and over for free kills while hiding behind a hill.
But you’re right, down with USSR! I’ll get my pitchfork (since Uk can’t own guns)
Bounce the same round (APHE/APHEBC) that all 4 of those have on the lower bulge of the turret (just not under the gun directly) when it is facing forward. There is also 2 small weak points to those 2 same rounds if you have slight elevation advantage of the Maus.
Congratulations you just one shot a Maus from the front, or 2 shot via the roof (or 2 shot if you barrel them) (APHE OP).
Edit: 500m and not point blank BTW*
Have you got any technical information to buff the other vehicles?
Sure let me just travel to Russia real quick to obtain technical data on BTR-80a’s 2a72…
No, that is restricted in my country.
500 meter, from a very big height advantage sure. I could say that about most tanks. Problem is,
All those Soviet tanks sit far lower than the Maus, and if they had the gun depression to hit that shot, not to mention the availability to, that would be a 1 in a million hit.
Especially since all those Soviet heavies (thanks to nerfs and no actual data to back it up) now have -3 gun depression, it’s pretty much impossible to do the shot you are speaking of.
Also, it’s funny, you have very little experience in the game, compared to me.
Your Lv. 50
A Brit main no less,
And have a 0.6 kd.
I could’ve said any Brit vehicle and you would’ve flocked to this forum like a moth to a flame.
Then may I suggest one simple that may solve many issues and will nerf the fox tremendously if applied correctly
See if we all had a dose of this then all problems would disappear, just like that
Fox can’t get to your side if you’ve been to specsavers
Ah yes let me focus on a tank to my left I may not hear because I’m being engaged in an open battlefield where clearly very quiet cannons, machine guns, artillery, and planes aren’t about.
Why didn’t I think of that??
Also, if we all had that mentality, nothing would get nerfed or buffed.
Because you haven’t been to specsavers
There’s more to it than situational awareness
Can you simultaneously fight 3 tanks at once? Over all the noises? I can, but my reload more than likely will get me killed.
I know pc mains have sound mods… which is super cheap, so they can adjust that really easily, but on console that’s a different story.
