what is the difference between the shir 2 and the chieftain 2000? I know they are different I just want to know what makes them different
Yeah, neither really have much of a place in GRB for CAS. Id just use the Buc S2 probably at either 9.3 or 9.7. Maybe with the right buffs it would become worthwhile, like fixing the Harrier Gr3 (Heat sigs and removing the sooty exhaust) and adding Phimat to it.
What is Phimat? ive never heard of it before.
Been brushing up on the sort of 70s and 80s tech knowledge but theres so dang much of it.
Yeah im going ot get the buc line purely for this tbh now.
The GR1 though is irrelevant for cas as you say.
would be nice to see some of the inbetween jets we made as well for 9.3 and 9.7.
there is a plethora of stuff srill not in game
TBH this Shir 2 will be a struggle to spade as well btw
Yeah. I’ll get it, but probably wont spade it for a while. I barely play GRB as it is, farming any event puts me off the game for weeks, especially ground events
In my opinion 9.3 would be a better place for it because of the improved mobility.
9.3 is also stacked with light tanks, so adding one MBT there wouldn’t hurt either.
Either would be better than 9.7.

Chieftain 2000 was basically just the Chieftain 900 turret on a Shir 1/Khalid chassis.
The Shir 2 is basically a Challenger 1 minus the TOGS and with Chieftain sights.
Yeah and considering we just had a ground air and naval event im feeling pretty done in with grinding.
I havent even started to spade the Kfir yet, and have done a bit of that T80UD/BE we got.
100 percent agree, would be like a slightly better khalid.
which seriously suffers in the armor department in uptiers.
We seen this coming though to be fair.
it wasnt gonna be 10.0 when they said it wasnt getting L23A1 and it wasnt gonna be 9.3 with a fast reload etc

As a general rule of thumb, I skip anything that I dont think I will use. Unless its air, in which case, only if I can be bothered.
So the last event vehicle I grinded for was HMS Barham.
I’ll probably just spend the next 2 weeks CASing my way through this grind.
yeah i got the kfir and T80 as i thought the T80 potentially could get teh 3bm46 and go to 11.0 or 11.3.
the kfir I wanted for making the grind in isreal a bit funner when i get bored of the A4E early M
But yeah its a bit of a pain they drop this just after the last event as id have left the T80 to get this instead
Is this the Dev server?
Maybe
well that’s me miserable for the next 2 weeks

No one’s forcing you to grind it out
No one’s forcing Gaijin to make the grind that absurd
id dare say the Shir 2 has much better manoeverbility and probabally stronger and more effective coverage of the armour, with 2/3rds the reload speed.
Don’t get me wrong ill like it to be at 9.3 but i just can’t talk for balance,
Cheiftain Mk.11 when
Im sorry then it should get the L23A1 round and go to 10.0
9.7 is a really bad area as now you either need to uptier it to 10.0/ 10.3 with only L23.
Or take the chance of taking an entire 9.3/ 9.0 lineup to 9.7 to which sees 10.3 a lot.
With only L23 in your arsenal.
It had access to L23A1, L23 does not even exist.
Even the war museum has on the photo of the L23 round on its website L23A1 on the side of the damn round xD
or they can give it the 8 second Chieftain reload and move it to 9.3
Against 9.7.*
9.3 and 9.7 are also the best BRs in modernish ground cause everything is decompressed and balanced.
I can count all 9.7 on my fingers.
9.7 usually play against 10.0-10.7
Which is at most 25% of opponents, in reality it’s close to 8% as you’re unlikely to come across them in matches unless you over-play your vehicle.
