But when compared to the off-boresight potential of the MICA or R-77. The AMRAAM is one of the weakest in a dogfight.
Good thing dogfights are supposedly nonexistent according to this community?
And I’ll agree with you on Air but ground isnt even close
Thread is about air, lots of us don’t play ground… USSR isn’t advantaged in air more than USA
so why is the competitive scene dominated by the m1 abrams?
and what does this have to do with the aim120’s performance?
Because the 2A7s and Strv 122s are excluded?
Why are the competitive air scenes dominated by F-15Cs and SAAF Gripens, when the Rafale/EFT/F-15E have existed for months now and when R-Darters are apparently some of the worst BVR missiles according to the people here.
Don’t get me wrong, the Abrams aren’t bad, but they are not close to 2A7/Strv 122 performance.
Are they really banned for use?
They were banned during the thunder cup tournament that happened a while ago. Seems like they are slowly being allowed more now from a quick look at the website.
weird that they ban standard vehicles from usage
To create a more balanced approve to E sport , it is not that weird when it come to game like Warthunder tbh , gaijin themself probably know about the group of vehicle that dominate top tier , so they have to make something happen or the tournament gonna be average top tier gameplay. E-sport ready btw, maps suck ass, vehicle are not well balanced , br placement issue , inconsistent in gameplay and they really focused on selling overprice premium instead of fixing problem
The lists for these tournaments can be incredibly special regardless. iirc the thundercup list had the Merkava Mk.2B as the 4th vehicle for Israel, in a top tier tournament.
everyone has access to the tech tree
Because THOSE are the dominant vehicles. So dominant that they are officially acknowledged to be too good to fit the competitive scene.
Leopard 2A7V, Leopard 2A7HU, Strv 122B+, Strv 122B PLSS, Strv 122A…
And, after those, Type 10 and TKX are most popular due to their extreme rate of fire and mobility even despite of the nerfs.
Of course, not counting any of these 8x tanks, the Abrams becomes “the best” lol. Then it’s actually more like Top 8, being generous.
And that’s why I’m so disappointed thst we haven’t seen a single new counterpart, or fixes to correct the currently ingame counterparts and make these more competitive, in so many years…
Yeah but if you have been playing top tier you understand why they have to restrict those vehicle. I understand that everyone have access to all tech tree but Gaijin is super incompetent game dev when it come to game balancing and map design so that what we , the player , have to deal with
Calm down and write it shorter next time , no need to scream at him
It’s not a scream, it’s mere emphasis on the word hahah
Yeah but Im pretty sure he understand what you and I mean on these problem , you no need to elaborate on it that much and please , no capitalization of word next time please
Well, I keep seeing certain users stating that the Abrams is the best or second best tank in Top Tier, so I can’t see how it hurts for me to elaborate in 5 lines why it’s not the case…
Although I just realised this is the cope topic about AIM-120, so I can’t even see whybit suddenly became a cope topic about the Abrams, hahah. So I’ll just leave it there as to not to feed the off-topic.
but gaijin sees fit to never really do anything about it on the actual game lol
Indeed, hahah.
They don’t even need to implement new vehicles (although it’s about time after 15 months); fixing the already ingame ones would be enough to level out the playing field…
Hopefully the top tier jet streak is finally over so that ground top tier may see some attention now; both in terms of 2A7/122 counterparts, bug fixing, and new SAM systems to counter all the OP C*S they’ve been implementing.
