I could say the same thing to you. Are you not intelligent enough to be able to decipher differences between vehicles by looking at what was changed between them? I doubt this is the case which leaves me with thinking, are you just ragebaiting?
How does this work with, for example, saying the OTOMATIC is extremely bad? What are you even comparing it to? There is not really anything like it in the game, it is one of the most unique vehicles the game has to offer.
The rest of your reply doesn’t really need answering, my previous point stands - give it a shot, you may find a playstyle that suits both you and the vehicle, then you may see the vehicle’s qualities. Or you may not like the playstyles it requires, which is okay too.
I can say this because it’s been in the game for a very long time, I’m a very experienced player, and its extremely hard limited by the TYPE of SPAA it is…? Are you about to tell me the OTOMATIC ISN’T extremely bad? About 95% of the community will hardcore disagree with you.
The rest of the SPAA?
Other SPAA, who are all just about strictly superior?
I think what makes you come to conclusions like this is the SPAA label that it gets in the game. Think outside of the box for a minute. This ‘‘SPAA’’ has ways of dealing with MBTs head-on, something not many can do. The only other SPAA that comes to mind is the ADATS (0.3 BR higher anyway), but I don’t really see many people praising it for its anti-air capabilites neither.
Look at players who enjoy OTOMATIC. Most of them rarely use it for its anti-air role. It is very limited against the top tier jets, but most SPAAs are, only a handful can defend against something like an Su-30 fitted with Kh38MTs. But keep in mind it is at 11.3. Besides the Oto, only the Tor sits at that BR, which is undoubtadly better as anti-air, (namely against jets) but that’s basically it.
I feel like the only reason people might say the OTOMATIC is bad is because it is the highest SPAA type in the Italian tree and thus expect it to be on a similar level to end of the line SPAAs of other nations.
Also notice I never claimed it to be a great SPAA either, I said it is a fun vehicle. You calling it ‘‘extremely bad’’, however, I really disagree with.
Which is cool as far as “fun” goes, but its not exactly GOOD at this job either, it’s just CAPABLE of defending itself. It’s still a trash SPAA as far as ACTUALLY being an SPAA is concerned and it’s an incredibly mediocre if not downright leaning towards bad “light” tank if you try to play it like that as well.
I know you didn’t. You only seem to care about the raw performance, but even there you are wrong about the OTOMATIC. I don’t expect you to understand, you’d have to try it on your own and it would need to fit your playstyle. Of course a vehicle will underperform if you don’t pick a correct playstyle.
