Yes. That is exactly what I am saying.
One person pools can only be used for comparing like-vehicles. Such as Strf 9040C, 2S38, and HSTVL balance such as with Cavenub’s profile.
Otherwise they’re pointless.
The APFSDS pends 250mm or if you use the lower flat pen round… 300mm.
Compare that to 380mm+ of other countries.
ZTZ99II nor the 99-III are nowhere near of being ‘Overpowered’, they got the same weakness as USSR Tanks - no gun depression, no reverse speed and in fact the ZTZ-99 (including the 99A) are the easiest to kill MBTs in the whole Game with larger weakspots and even have a larger LFP than USSR/Russian Vehicles. The 99s APFSDS also only is as strong as the Soviet ones with 577pen (in fact they actually have 3 less pen than the T90A which is also 10.7)
Its not even close to being the worst 8.7 what are you on about, also a 200+ game sample size is plenty for determining how often it gets downtiered. Even in the unrecorded matches I’ve played in that thing before the downtier ratio has stayed around the same. I can absolutely assure you that both the t55AM-1/d would be perfectly fine at 9.0, it is completely unfair at that BR considering how many downtiers it gets. If I had to face 7.7s maybe as much as I face 9.7s there wouldnt be any issue, however considering 9.7 is one of the least played BR’s in the game due to both the massive influx of premiums at 10.0-10.3 and it generally not having as many vehicles causes the T55amd to get constant downtiers. You should not be able to fight against a vehicle with an APS, laser rangefinder, apfsds and good armor at 7.7. The fact this is the same BR as the object 435 is absurd, and if you read the post it was talking about the post overpowered vehicle by BR, and the BR of a vehicle affects its performance (especially when they’re more prone to down tiers than others). Even in a max uptier if it was 9.0 it could still very well fight against the things it could be put up against (Stryker, leo 2av, ztz96a, CV90) as not only does the missile have great pen, but it also doesn’t have a reload penalty. And the apfsds is literally better than others at that exact same BR like the XM-803.
You have clearly not seen the win rates for Sweden recently. They gave the plane with the best turn rate in the game a shit ton of countermeasures and 6 of the best missiles in the game, not even mentioning its ground weaponry options.
You clearly didnt read my reply. The only other top tier vehicle that has anywhere as near the amount of countermeasures as the gripen is the f14b, which only has HDN radar and no IRRCM. The Gripen is like a worse f16 irl and the only reason its so good within the game is the fact that it has a shit ton of countermeasures and also the fact that it has 6 undodgable missiles.
counter-measures are only going to stop IRCCM missiles hitting them if they are also dodging.
Maybe a little bit too early, but the F-14A and R-27ER also came way too early, so I don’t really mind minor nations being meta for a change. There had to be a jump in technology eventually.
I can’t wait for all the US/USSR salt when Rafale and Eurofighter enter the game.
Object 435 fires the same ammo, has more armor, and is only slightly slower.
T-55AMD dies to both HEATFS and APFSDS rather easily.
No, T-55AMD and AM-1 are not good enough for 9.0.
Maybe if everything from 9.0 - 11.7 all moved up by 0.3 then sure, AKA decompression, but that means AMX-30B2 etc also goes to 9.0.
XM578E1 is slightly better than T-55AM-1’s round.
It’s also in a far faster tank.
youre just completely wrong, you cant even lock the thing if its pre flaring which makes it obvious to me you havent played top tier ARB recently. In real life the f16 is better in almost every way other than cost, being around 20mil more to produce than the Gripen. And yes it was added too early, also ussr and us will have amraams and aim9x by the end of the year, not to mention planes such as the f18, su33 and more.
where are you getting your values from? the xm578e1’s round has almost 40mm less pen? Also the T-AMD and AM-1 are more than good enough at 9.0 with a good apfsds and ATGM
The F-16 is more versatile because it can take more payloads and has a bigger range iirc. In terms of dogfighting performance it isn’t superior to the Gripen.
Oh please, show me a video of the T55amd where you don’t get a kill because you physically couldn’t pen someone from being on a 60 degree angle where it wasn’t just a whiff. also half the maps in the br range are flat and open, which is perfect for atgms.
