Last time I used Chally 2, I had like 30% winate. Played a few games the other night after BR changes, and things were certainly better. Did help that the enemy teams had quite a few of those anime tank premiums that quickly one death left, but I digress. Will get a bigger sample size over the next week.
They are a genuine issue for me at 10.7 USSR, just purely due to the reload, and their armour actually being effective for the first time in like half a decade.
I’m not even saying simply rounds magically not doing what they should be against a certain set of people know to cheat / play at certain times.
I’m also talking about how aimbotting is back in full swing. A guy I wasn’t even engaged with across the map at 9.3 who was shrouded in smoke grenade smoke, turned and looked at my through like 5-6 bushes and 2 trees.
Then boom I died. Perfect shot at like 1000 meters…
I’m assuming you play on pc right? Nor do I mean this towards you in anyway, but the pc community is known for trying to get any advantage. Via pc settings, mods, sound mods, or cheats outright. I’m not saying all do this, but some sound mods make certain tanks way louder E.G. enemy tanks. Or making some quieter like arty which is really loud on console btw. Then you get the settings abusers and then last but not least the actual cheaters which… make me have to turn the game off all the time.
Also random, but have you noticed when bombing as of late, your bomb explodes if even being shot at by anything? Call me crazy but I think there’s an anti air / bomb aimbot. Because every time I drop a bomb and anything was shooting at me (this was only happening with Pc users) they would always instantly hit my bomb the moment I dropped it and boom I was dead. Game after game after game like that. Or the proxy fuze arty that killed me. I was flying and just barely began my descent and bomb proxy fuzed by a pzh2000 with a very Chinese name. There’s no way the dude saw me, and I was maybe out of the clouds for all of 1 sec, which is not enough time to elevate the gun.
TL;DR game used to be really fun. Now it’s getting blatantly full of suspicious users once again.
Someone got mad… and reported this because I’m exposing the bs. XD @An_Pigeon
When news leaked that Chinese tanks were getting a slightly faster reload, things were finally looking up for their top tier, only for it to get reverted right after. That alone wouldn’t have been a big deal, but the fact that the VT4A1 and VT4 are still sitting at 12.7 and 12.3 is just criminal.
Developers are planning to move the M1A1 Abrams from BR 11.3 to 11.7 with the new 12.7 decompression. This decision is incorrect. The M1A1 is not significantly different from the IPM1 Abrams—practically no real performance difference to justify a +0.4 BR increase.
At 11.7, it gets thrown into full-top battles where Soviet tanks can destroy it with a single shot. The current 11.3 BR is fully appropriate. I have completely spaded the M1A1 and I can say with confidence as an experienced player: it does not outperform Soviet and German tanks to deserve a higher BR.
11.3 is already a “premium BR environment”, where half of the teams consist of players using premium vehicles like the 2S38. The 2S38 is a nightmare: even if it does not penetrate, it cripples you instantly, which almost always means death. They are smaller, harder to hit, and still heavily armored for their size. Their autocannons shred you faster than you can react.
And don’t forget: premium vehicles are fully spaded from the start. Regular players in a stock Abrams are simply doomed, especially when facing a swarm of 2S38 buyers who dominate 10.3–11.3 matchmaking. If the intent is to push players into buying module unlocks with Golden Eagles, then it is pure manipulation.
Even fully upgraded, the M1A1 only becomes “acceptable” once the better APFSDS rounds are unlocked. Raising it to 11.7 would turn it into pure suffering.
I strongly recommend not changing its BR to 11.7. Its current BR of 11.3 is balanced and fair. Increasing it now is a premature and unjustified nerf. If real data after the decompression proves it overperforms, then adjust it later. But not now.
The community asks that you keep the M1A1 and the IPM1 at BR 11.3.
2S38 killing M1A1 is nothing shy of a huge skill issue.
Have you even managed to hit a 2s38? They are not heavily armoured at all??
Especially not compared to one of the highest penning rounds in game.
Think m829a1 is like 5th highest.
Okay this shows us what we need to see.
The issue **isn’t ** the abrams it’s the person using it.
The 2s38 while irksome sometimes is not some stupidely good nor OP vehicle that stomps M1A1s like you’re making out.
Hell i took the m1a1 out for a laugh the pther day and went 15 for 1 with it.
Acceptable by whos account?
It has 5 second reload. Good mobility, okay armour nothing bad or great.
Even rhe M829 IS a great round never mind A1.
You’re genuinely using terrible examples to justify keeping an OP vehicle at a BR ir can be abused.
The 12.3 Merkava Mk.4s are at a pretty decent BR to be honest.
I think the Mk.4M should also be 12.3 since I don’t think the addition of Trophy APS is worth a 0.3 BR difference, at least at top tier where helicopters and aircraft AGMs are much more deadly.
When you change BR of Centurions? Some of them have painfull BR like sho’t kal gimmel and dalet? They are Centurions mk 3 on 8.7-9.0. Thermals and rangefinder isn’t good point why they have that BR…
