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.
And the bmp is overrated af.

Idk, I’ve been launching Hammers from as far as 25km or so reliably, one even towards a Pantsir that couldn’t shoot back

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.
Edit : correction of a repetition in a sentence.

I love you this guy
Bias ≠ fairness.
Yup, the non Russian teams finally see the Russians be on par at top tier and no surprise it’s spammed.
It’s called fairness.

All CAS at top tier is OP, but Russian cas is just better because they also have the only AA that has a chance of doing anything.
It’s very unfun and unfair to die to something you can’t counter, and expecting someone to grind an entire air tree is unreasonable.
The last thing russia needed was another CAS plane at top tier.

@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.

At this point USA mains shouldnt be allowed opinions, they’ve been doing this same thing they’re complaining about now, but for literal years.

Only france does with the AASM.
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
Or Spike.
Pars, Mav, Spike … Western F&F ordnance, designed to destroy tanks…are actually better in killing helis than ground vehicles. Telling :)
But at least the spike has a bit more range
Yeah, only reason I even bother with Brimstones is because they are quite good at dealing with helis. Much prefer PW4s for actually dealing with tanks
I guess we’ll toss the Ito 90 and others right out the window then eh?

Statement stands, They are okay, but still no where near as good as the Pantsir.
The last heli I met ate an AIM-120, TWS lock with my ICE . There’s imho no need to use ground ordnance on helis, when playing fighters.
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)
