Two things can be true, the Rafale is busted and “French playerbase” are also better than major nation mains, and it’s not because French players are better than German players but because more German players play France as second/third/fourth nation than there are French players playing Germany as second/third/fourth nation.
A million German players grinding Germany as their first nation and then grinding France as second nation means that Germany ends up having worse stats and France having better stats compared to 100k French players playing France as their first nation and then grinding Germany as second nation.
Its just by nature that major nation players have more effect on minor nation statistics than vice versa.
Major nation players are not inherently bad players since they do end up getting better in skill, its just that it happens to be when they play minor nations.
I mean, I can’t make sense of this statement because you contend that it would make it better than 2A6 but nowhere in this statement does it state it would be powercreep, which it wouldn’t since powercreep would imply it would become better than 2A7. I fail to see any performance-based argument against giving it a DM53 level performance shell if said argument doesn’t state that it would be an unnecessary level of powercreep.
It’s understandable to be against powercreep, but not understandable if your argument is that it would make the vehicle become the 2nd best in the game (which by definition is NOT powercreep).
The argument against it is that the Leclercs don’t really need it, their performance is completely fine so giving them a 2020s nato round is not necessary. If France was struggling in top tier sure but right now I’d rather have SHARD in the backpocket for when it’s actually needed.
Unfortunately the game doesn’t always work on a “does it need it” basis but rather based on advancing the game. There’s two ways to look at things:
“Is anyone lacking in MBTs/shells?” and if yes, let’s prioritize those, and if not, then it defaults to “What is the next step up that isn’t powercreep?”
What would be your answers to those two questions?
Most who aren’t Russia are severely lacking in modern shells but what’s powercreep and what’s not is very subjective and depends heavily on gaijins implementation of said rounds
In this case I’m asking for your subjective opinion. If no opinion, do you have any argument against SHARD addition being added as a next step-up in advancement of the game?
Leclerc simply don’t need any more buffs, especially since you have four of them in your TT.
They’re already competitive and work should be done to bring other vehicles to the same level.
I believe you haven’t answered my question. On the basis of advancement, what should be the next step-up in the game if not the addition of SHARD ammunition to the Leclerc?
I didn’t ask if the Leclercs need it, I asked what should be the next advancement?
Me when I cherry-pick data without taking into account that the average minor nation player massively boosts vehicle performance.
Oh my god, I can’t believe the Ariete is more OP than the Leopard 2A6 because stats say so!!! /s.
Statshark has very little data for Minor nations compared to the big 3. This leads to the statistics being derived from a smaller data set of higher-performing players, which causes them to overperform on larger datasets.
Despite knowing that the average player is fairly okay at the game, tanks like the Leopard 2A7V have a wildly high global rating. They have the largest datasets, yet they’re overperforming significantly. It’s clear to anyone who’s studied data that the Leclerc and other minor nation MBTs lag behind the Leopard a lot. Minor nation MBTs need serious buffs right now.
It doesn’t have any proxy round that would make it a useful feature.
Again, what should be the next step-up/advancement in the game beyond this auto-track feature? I’m not saying the next advancement should come anytime soon but what do you think the next advancement should be?
That’s not what advancement means. Advancement means a step-up/forward progress in capability/performance. Can you stop with the games and answer my question?
What should be the next step-up in advancement/capability for top tier tanks?
