Sprut is very good but also has very strong downsides like gunhandling of a battleship and it dies to 50 cal. and of course the russian classic of no gun dwpression.
It could move up a little bit, but it’s definitely not op.
I quite enjoy my BMP-2M and i found him pretty solid !
The Sprut have downside but if i make the comparison with CV90-105 and CV90-120 :
CV90-105 is 10.3 more agile indeed but Sprut have the upper hand on the ammunition.
CV90-120 is 11.7 and yet again Sprut ammunition is better while Sprut is sitting at 10.0.
In itself Sprut is a pretty good vehicle and i don’t think him as an OP vehicle if i only look at him and his equipments.
BUT him sitting at 10.0 give him the possibility to be downtiered at 9.0.
Additionally you’ve to think :
What make a vehicle bad/normal/strong/OP ?
To me a good indicator is the ability of a vehicle to be uptiered and yet be consistent and/or be easy to play.
With his ammunition Sprut is really consistent on top tier and is able to work effectively on top tier.
On this specific topic i only talk about russian vehicle being not at their due Br. BUT vehicle like that to me are indeed in others nation : Begleitpanzer for exemple.
In a nutshell there is a lack of consistency in the BR attribution and some vehicle should be way higher or way under. It’s not an USSR thing BUT it does contribute to the hegemony of the nation. Giving the possibility to be way more difficult to get out of the game to USSR players.
@Alpharius11348 As you reply to someone who says more of “my” takes than anyone else.
Ion’s a great dude that I agree with probably the most of the consistent forum posters.
Obviously we’ve had our disagreements, but yeah your insult isn’t what you think it is.
The Brit’s, French, USA, and Germans all have viable options too. Considering this is Russias first true fighter with thermals, I have to say, it’s about time.
Only France and the Soviets have 60km range FnF AGMs with IOG that can be equipped onto fighters in any kind of quantity
Also, the problem isnt that the soviets have gotten an equal AGM (though they already had that with the KH-29)
the issue is that the soviets have gotten the best AGM whilst still having the only viable top tier SPAA and they have had that SPAA for the past 3 years
I can never get my radar to even see the helis, let alone allow for an Aim-120 fire. The problem is, when they are sat in hover, PD doesnt detect them like it should. Also, cant flare or chaff a SAL weapon
mavs are even better for that, because they dont get a laser warning or anything and still immune to countermeasures (also enough explosives that if they fly to low and it somehow misses it will still kill)
