Up means you can go mach 1.4, and get gravity assist on ordnance.
SPAA missiles also lose A LOT of maneuverability and speed at higher altitudes.
i mean theres a reason why they have altitude limit but it also mean that you would get intercept mid climb, also depend if on the missile itself and the vertical limit
When their armor and total modeling stop being erroneous trash then my opinion will change. Until then, they’re glorified light tanks with none of the benefits and only the downsides. Dogwater.
Cute flag. Doesn’t prove me wrong.
So your answer is “their armor is bad so they’re bad tanks”. How about actually play to the strengths of the Abrams.

Abrams have always been a jack-of-all-trades. You’re good at everything, but you do not excel at anything. Leopards and Challengers are the best at sniping. Ariete, Japanese Type, and Leclerc are great at flanking. T-series and Chinese tanks are amazing at brawling. American can do all three just fine, and a competent American player (an oxymoron) can best anyone.

just play Russia bro
Sure, you want to buy me the GE so I can GE to the BR bracket I want to play? Or want to buy me multiple premiums so I can research the tree faster?
Dumb as hell to say just play that nation when it completely avoids the point that USSR Top Tier is not a balanced nation vs rest of the nations in game.

The drone thing is completely and utterly broken and it’s insane Gaijin has not patched it.
I love camping air spawns vs Russia, if I’m in the mood for it I just fly a Z-10 with 16 TY-90’s out to their airspawn and sit there, It’s the easiest 4+ air kills you’ll ever have. Russian air is so over-tuned that it makes first spawning the Z-10 a consistent strat because you will see a minimum of 4 planes every game, they will never not bring it, it’s too good to pass up

Only time spawn camping is justified

It was really bad these past couple weeks but I’ve noticed a downwards trend of people spotting like that
almost make me wanna whip out more money to do that and start grinding china, one of two nations i still need to grind. id be laughing my ass off smiting all those op planes right at spawn. on the other hand i promised myself to not pay them more than i already did (unfortunately) as long is this unbalanced state of top tier “gameplay” is the way it is. theres just no point when i can just play russia, do nothing all game and win 80% of matches vs minor nations unless the french dudes actually do manage to pull off a mirace.
Ah well back to spading my puma vjtf, the saddest of sadmobiles.
Better than the BMP-3 and BMP-2M at least
lol the bmp 3? one of the strongest light tanks in game? unless your talking about top tier then yeah but why would a 9.0 light tank be good at 12.0? the puma is 11.0
and its main gun struggles to pen the flat sides of russian tanks point blank, the spikes are inconsistent af and do critical damage 1/4 times. which is cool cause you only do get 4 of them. trying to get them to lock tanks that are standing completely in the open does get you killed more often then not. AHEAD ammo is just a bait so you start shooting at flying things to tell them where you are. The only thing it is good for is baiting snapshots into your turret so then you allies can peek and kill the enemy.
If it was russian it had proxy fuze shells that actually work ahem ahem 2s38 but unfortunaly it is not. while apparently also using ammo similar to ahead irl the 2s38 gets proxy fuze ammo which kills in one to two shots and the puma is using whatever the AHEAD ammo in game is supposed to be…a tickler?
2s38 can kill any tank reliably from the front from any range. Puma cant do it point blank from the side. or at least it takes you like 20 seconds hammering their sides until all crew is dead or the ammo finally decides it actually has explosive propellant. 20 s which you usually never have in top tier
Because they are different types of ammo.
LOL, good luck penning a leopard with 3UBM22

It is good but at 9.0 there also a good amount of good IFV. Especially considering the size of BMP-3.
Sound like cap but sure , it is an IFV. What do you want it to do ? Easily one shot MBT from the side ? One shotting one of the better armored MBT from the side ?
I mean , is that the Russian fault or the random nature of the game ? What the hell man
I mean if it had HE irl then sure, make a bug report. Also the 2S38 is 57mm HE , don’t know that will be able to kill anything from above
Errr no , even at long range it is still spamming shell and hoping for the best. Which is applied to literally any IFV and if you struggle to kill MBT from the side with PUMA then idk man , maybe change to MBT ? There reason why MBT are higher BR
If it take you 20s then I suggest you should not touch IFV. If you get a drop on MBT and in the first 3 second you haven’t taken their main gun out then might as well retire. 20s to kill something from the side. Lord bless this man, he forgot that he have to aim
For China I grinded it with the WMA and just ran that and the heli, grinded that forever till I had lineups but the Heli line is really hard to grind now without spending a lot of GE on modifications, both the Z9W and Z9WA are absolutely useless without their best stuff, the Z9W being at such a high br it’s only viable weapons are the TY-90’s, I got lucky and did the grind before they all got sent to higher br’s
