While I get that its a game, denying publically available documents on the performance of military weapon systems in service and claiming to have alternative sources you don’t share or disclose seems like a slippery slope. Not to mention, and I would be shocked to see such a thing happen but also acknowledge weird things HAVE happened before, it seems like a good way to get an investigation brought up against your company. What documents are you looking at that isnt public knowledge?
Unless I’ve just never stumbled upon it, the fact that like the War Thunder Wiki doesn’t have a section on every vehicle showcasing the source documents used to implement the vehicle is probably something that should be added. I should be able to go to say the US M1A2 SEPv2 entry and scroll down somewhere and see all the documents used to implement its stats.
If you think about it for a bit, you’ll likely agree with me and not misuse statistics. Top-tier win-rate calculators are a joke and do not paint an accurate picture of the game’s health.
Russia is a major nation and attracts a significant portion of the player base. This means they get a sizable chunk of less skilled players, similarly to Germany and the US tech trees. However, while Germany and Sweden have arguably the best MBT set in the game by far, the ground tree is not the primary issue when it comes to Russia. The bigger problem is the unrealistically powerful and likely fictional KH-38MT missile.
While Russia has these missiles, which are significantly stronger than the AGM-65D that other tech trees get in similar quantities, they also have had the strongest SPAA in the game for over 2 years now. It’s nice that we’re finally getting this issue partially fixed, but at this moment, hardly anyone is even confident that these new SPAA can fix this issue. The Developers left some nations with borderline unusable SPAA for 5 years. Israel was stuck with a god damn Machbet and Chapparal at top tier dealing with this up until this next update.
The reason Russia’s win rate isn’t higher is simply because most people who play Rank VIII don’t have every path in the tech tree. Most people who play top tier only have their tanks and don’t bother taking the time to play the air tree and SPAA tree. The real issue is when someone has taken the time to grind the air tree and can single-handedly wreck 16 other players in seconds.
If you want current proof of this favoritism towards the USSR tree, look no further than Gaijin giving DIRCM only to a Russian Helicopter to counter the new SPAA.
The dominance is shown by the fact that russia has the most players at top tier with a 53% wr but the second most played nation, the US is only at 43.5%.
122s definitely aren’t better than 2A7s.
They lack thermal quality and get a substantially worse round which isn’t able to go through K5 UFPs, which isn’t the case for L/55 DM53.
SS definitely has value as it generates stats from millions of games.
I don’t know how true this is.
Pantsir is like several years newer than ADATS and Flarak but somehow has more battles under it’s belt, and in May it had as many battles as those two latter ones combined. RU definitely has strong AA presence.
Your statement about aircraft is directly conflicting with reports of who knows how many people saying they can’t live from the 38MT spam happening every single game. I can also use your argument against you and say RU has WR as high as this and 38MT is this problematic only because players from other nations don’t bother to research and spawn their CAP, which would easily mitigate most of the threats.
I’ve made the expierience that these surplus pen values won’t change the way you have to aim at enemy tanks. So A7 has higher pen, whose practical significance is rather low.
While Strv’s have better armor and better mobility…cause this super armor weighs significantly less than 30 years more modern A7 armor modules (which are worse on top .)
I dont understand why people think pen is the only stat that matters. Weight and diameter (diameter is hidden in game) are also super important if not more important than pen because they determinen the amount of spalling. The swedish/israeli round is the heaviest of all top tier MBT. Its also has a larger diameter than DM53. Making it have a lot more spalling. So in my opinion the Swedish have the better dart.
I think so as it wasn’t mentioned in the video.
This should be applicable for all long rod darts above 76mm, so for example HSTV-L’s round isn’t using this formula for spall.
