I’ve literally never had an issue with it. That said, I don’t play the Type 10. So I don’t know, maybe? At the very least, in my experience.
Yes, we felt it, especially now that the respawn points have been raised to 950. And the A-10C with an AGM-65 with a belt generally flew away for 1000.
ive had so many shots get eaten by their fuel tank and do no damage, or if I am lucky kill 1 crew member or engine
after which it will still be able to kill me before I get to cover or reload
I also generally aim for the cannon breech because on the Type 10 that thing is HUGE. Plus I can move faster forward than it can backward so unless its really far away there is no point in not taking the time to breech then flank.
that said, I have not had fuel tanks eat my rounds on the Type 10. Usually I one shot, but there are also plenty of cases where because of poor aiming on my part I only get driver engine. Still, I back up and try not to get shot. It’s that stupid survivability onion or whatever, of “dont get seen don’t get shot” thingy.
ive also had that gun breech area eat my rounds through volumetric so I try to avoid it
I’m pretty sure it’s both. lvl 10 premium players and players giving up early on in the match both have a tremendous impact on US’s wr. The issue lies in determining the weight of these factors and to be honest, it’s really hard to say.
It’s easy to identify low lvl premium players but for those who give up early, there are countless factors.
these are just a few and I’ll give an explanation for it.
- how frequent and dominant russian cas is: Even after the SP change, laser guided agms haven’t been increased. Guess what russia has in their arsenal? the Kh38ml. With the introduction of the TGP (for su30) and the increased range for them (up to 30km), they can be used outside of spaa range and to great affect. Not to mention, the follow up Su34 and how easily accessible the ka52 is (even with the attakas)
- Mediocre American CAS: not only US doesn’t have laser guided agms, their “top” agms aren’t any good in today’s environment. Yes they can still be used to great affect however it cannot be employed the same way as kh38 which is pointing/clicking outside of spaa range and getting back to back kills fast. The F-15E is the only plane where mavericks can be used at farther ranges due to their gbu-39. Even still, it is not a consistent tactic.
- COD like maps: The abrams kinda struggled in cqc maps due to how big weakspots but now it struggles even more. Any penetrating shot is most if not all cases a crippling shot. The abrams excel in large maps but those are scarce.
- The low level players themselves: I think it’s safe to say that seeing them take up more than a 1/4 is disheartening. Applies to all nations
I’m sure there’s more, but this is what I’ve seen/experienced the most.

You’re very unfortunately right, this is the only solution and it’s not the most reliable either, and even then, this forces you to waste your time in a plane and not actually play ground realistic… in tanks…
This is true, it would be better to quite simply nerf KH38 heavily or increase spawn cost CONSIDERABLY, not the puny 8% increase

I would also like to note the confusing lack of GPS+IOG+laser guided bombs for US CAS despite many of them being american made and in US inventory these weapon options are missing on many aircraft that can carry them
being that these are a signifacant upagrade from singularly guided bombs their adition would be a massive imporovement to planes like av8b+ which has to rely on gbu 38s or gbu 12s because of its limited agm 65 capacity

LMAO, the worst take i’ve seen so far.
As if pantsir can’t just intercept all of the munitions easily. Unlike mostly everything else which has a hard time intercepting more than 1. And despite you saying that F-15E is better CAS, i don’t seem to be seeing any US mains abusing it by spamming AGM unlike the russians

All CAS needs much higher spawncosts, and removing their airspawn would also help a ton.

F15E is definitly the best US CAS because of its ability to carry 6 mavs and a lot of SDBs but it is still much less effective than having 6 KH38s

Yeah, removing the airspawns and moving back the airfield a lot would fix it. This would also make harder to instantly resupply.

Best US CAS, yes.
Honest give CAS ARB spawn where they’re like 30-40km away. It would actually indirectly buff them, but would give ground time to not get instakilled.
This is also where MRAD comes in
TBH this would make it easier for CAP as well since you can be out of the pantsir safety net
I mean you can already do that just by not going to the center of the map, but sure. Also lower CAP sp cost
I think the only US aircraft that does have them is the F/a-18c but it’s still no where near potent as the Mavericks let alone kh-38s
@Chubbmaster moving the goalposts to AGM interception cause they can’t acknowledge that CAS is OP and has to defend Pantsir instead.
on a good amount of maps the sides of the spawn are out of map boundries, and you’d have to risk the airfield AA taking potshots at you AND pantsir trying to missle you to get to a enemy plane before they launch all their AGM
