You may know about the issues, but you’re unlikely to know to what extent that issue affects them. I have played most nations til top tier, including nations such as:
- Germany
- US
- France
- Russia
- Sweden
- Japan
Since the topic at hand is about top tier, and more specifically, about CAS, bringing up the issues of other nations is nothing more than attempting to change the goalpost. I for one know that the issues talked about by US mains are way too overblown. Abrams has been very forgiving for me, my K/D and K/B are quite frankly great for what’s supposed to be “a bottom tier MBT”. SEPv1 is quickly overtaking the 2A7V in my rankings of “most enjoyable tank to play” for example, the biggest issue US players are dealing with is that they’re, to put it bluntly, bad. Abrams has pretty good armour all things considered, sure it’s not Leopard 2 tier - but at that point you’re not looking at things objectively i.e how good the armour is overall, but subjectively where unless your armour is as good as, arguably speaking, the best MBTs in the game, you classify it as “terrible”, despite the fact it isn’t.
I think this also applies to any other nation/vehicle, doesn’t matter which vehicle is, if there’s a horde of CAS you said, it’ll be mostly a defeat. So it’s not a exclusivity.*
You’ve misunderstood what I meant there. Most nations have answers/CAS of their own, see: Italy despite how atrocious the Arietes are, has the Gripen C that by itself can change the outcome of the match thanks to an outstanding Maverick load-out & a great thermal pod to aid in long-range attacks. By comparison, despite how good Germany’s ground is, their CAS can not influence how the match will end, it just can’t.
I no moment I said Germany is undeserving of a good CAS, just don’t need much of them
At no point did anyone argue they should receive a lot of extremely potent CAS aircraft, what has been argued however is that they need a better CAS aircraft that’s on par with what most other nations have. Currently the best Germany has to offer is the F-4F ICE with its 2xMav Gs - yes, they’re good, the platform however, and the amount of ground ordinance however are atrocious by comparison. It doesn’t even get a TPOD, so it’s limited to an internally installed camera with terrible zoom & equally bad quality.
