For SPAAs that rely on guns with limited effective range against air units, removing their ability to defend themselves against enemy ground units also indirectly nerfs their AA, because they are less likely to survive enemy tanks outside the spawn point. There is a reason why we find Gepards and Falcons anywhere on the battlefield.
not that they struggle at their BRs by any means. almost spaded the chieftain marksman today both from griefing tanks and vapourising planes (ww2-korean war planes have no business seeing 70s-80s spaa units)
far better than it is right now where SPAAs kill tanks more than tanks kill SPAA
yea, they are better tank hunters than the tanks are
This will happen as they promised
This isn’t guaranteed.
I don’t disagree about APDS removal itself.
Itself is a debatable point.
Okay, it is your will not playing it.
It also has a chance of not lowering BR just like R2Y2, Vampire, and B-66B does.
If Gaijin plans to remove APDS of Falcon, then they should’ve also initiate initial BR buff down from 8.3 to 8.0.
Keeping it 8.3 without APDS will make no buff on Falcon, making it forgotten instead.
B-66, Vampire, and R2Y2 haven’t been nerfed at their current BRs.
False equivalence.
Though I can’t think of any vehicles that have been nerfed to prevent being moved up and being moved up anyway, or nerfed and not moved down at this time at this time.
Usually stuff moves down, whether it’s instant or takes a while.
R2Y2s had their air spawn removed, then after that they moved up to 7.7, then to 8.0.
B-66 has had no changes.
And Vampire has had no changes since being 8.7. Vampire just suffers Spitfire & Zero syndrome: People turn fight them far too often.
