I like how you get even a little bit of pushback and immediately start to throw insults and aggressiveness toward us for not agreeing with this discussion.
Then it would not be historically inspired.
You didn’t see columns of 76mm Sherman tanks.
You often saw 2 or 3 75mm Shermans.
Either 1 short* barrel 76mm or a longer-barreled 76mm Cannon.
P2: There was no “King”.
There wasn’t a King in WW2 either.
Mate, a lot of the vehicles that fight each other would not be used anymore. If people slowly realized that “Historically inspired matchmaking” existed, you would see vehicles from that era fighting vehicles that never fought them. That were in production in various degree’s. Such as ARL-44, IS-3, T29, T32, T34 tanks.
You try fighting a full team of Maus Tanks and tell me how that goes. Cause I have.
Ever fought a full team of Ho-Ri’s? It also doesn’t go well for the enemy team.
The point is, “HiStoRicAl inspired” matchmaking does not work; it’s no different from a historical matchmaking either. People will figure out eventually that they can just make 1 vehicle a meta, and everyone starts using it.
Just like irl.
lol no. It was trash in reality. only around 6 MGM-51s were ever actually used in combat because it was absolute dogwater and the rest of the vehicle wasnt much better.
Im not just being patriotic when i say FV101 Scopion and FV107 Scimitar did everything the sheridan tried to do far better. they at least worked when used.
In game tho. Man that thing could easily move up to 8.3 i love it as a heavy hitting light tank
._. I am referring to it being forgotten. Also not entirely correct; it suffered from some design flaws and mechanical issues; however, it helped push the idea of airborne deployable assets to where they are today. So, mixed success. Since it was used in its intended role, it did fine. In a pinch could perform fine as well. Otherwise, it would be a disaster in roles it wasn’t intended for, depending on its severity.
ah right. I guess my social media feed is unusually full of sheridan apologists then.
i mean kinda. CVRT blew it out of the water by being far more viable for that very role tho being fully aluminium and not half steel. CVRTs also sold incredibly well and have a successful combat record, which sheridan frankly doesnt
Sheridan had a very good canister shot at least. Very useful for infantry support.
When you consider that the Sheridan wasn’t really fighting any vehicles. It was also being used in a conflict where it wasn’t really going to perform at all. It’s not surprising.
It would be like trying to send a T95 to Africa and expect it to perform.
If we are talking historically battles, and guessing you talk about the IS-3, then it wouldnt be the case bc first combat use of the IS-3 was in 1956. We talk about historically battles, not a historical 1944 used tank vs a 1944 test field used is3
“Historically inspired.” The original user said, "Historically inspired. So IS-3 would still appear in the What if WW2 matchmaking. Aside from that, seems like he might have been muted for a week or 2. For rudely insulting folks.
This is the issue that will kill it. Outside of the handful of people who love doing historical roleplaying, people wont play like that.
In an unbalanced game, the only fun is from playing as the op vehicle. Gaijin has tried this style multiple times and everytime they do, players figure out the stronger side and only queue for them. Like with the ww1 event having like 200 in queue for germany while 5 are in the allied queue.
Bullsht then, not very different from the fictional matchmaking we have now
What @SinisterIsRandom already say too (edit: you are lol)
Lol
Some tech trees in certain areas would just be unplayable. Japan, Italy, and Sweden would be utterly useless until almost top tier with even slight historical matchmaking (even just era seperation would banish the ST-A tanks to fight MBTs)
Historically inspired so Semi-Historical. The issue is: The person said “historically inspired” on purpose. So it would be fighting vehicles it never could have won against irl within that era of it’s completion.
Calling R 400 op takes some insane levels of mental gymnastics ngl
Also the vehicle was first shown in this configuration in 2000 (Eurosatory, as “H 400” but gaijin is stubborn about it)
Neither Rad, nor R 400 have particularly good gun-handling either (24°/s hor. and 6-7°/s vert., which is on par with- or worse than most other vehicles around their BRs) and neither need to be moved up in br (especially not R 400, that irrelevant trashcan should be moved down if anything)
If you cant tell the difference between historical and historically inspired then i dont see any point talking to you. Its like im talking to someone whos having some imaginary conversation in his head.
It seems that you are pretending to be dense on purpose.
What op vehicles? Do you think that if we remove vehicles with modern ammo like heat-fs that the rest of the ww2 tanks would be impossible to balance against each other? Do you think that if we dont have 1980s go carts against older stuff that it would be impossible to balance? Is Leo 1 vs M60 and T54 unbalanced in your opinion? Or are you just incapable of seeing the difference between historical and historically inspired? Do you think i used two different words to describe the same thing?
Push back? You are not even capable of acknowledging what i say. You are having a imaginary convo in your head.
Can you please explain to me how you interpreted my sentence: “It doesnt have to be historically accurate, it just needs to be inspired by real life meta.” as: " It doesnt have to be historically accurate, it just needs to be historically accurate"?
I really dont see how you can get there unless you want to be intentionally rude and trying to derail the topic.
Could be fixed with variable br depending on what ammo you equip. Full caliber AP for ww2 and modern rounds fore later BRs.
If you create a line between ww2 and post-ww2, you create a second top tier. Lets say that is 7.7. Why would i ever play 6.7 over 7.7? 7.7 gets perma full down tiers while 6.7 gets near perma full uptiers.
I would also like to see what br you would suggest for the heat using tanks at low ranks. If you want them up in br, please explain why anyone would use the tank at the new br over the tanks currently at said br.
Why would you play anything else than top tier then? Yeah some low br tanks that dont have any normal AP shells and only HEAT would get unfavourable BR. Better than ruining the gameplay for many tanks IMO.
