yes thermals aren’t useful at all, again, it’s no better in any tangible way than the 9.7 lot and it’s worse than the other 10.0. Your attempt at a strawman followed by your ad hominem really helps your argument.
just speedrunning to the conclusion because you’re complaining like a 1 faction andy hyper focussed on the few things it doesn’t have and not the major strengths that it does
Having a different opinion then you makes me a “one faction andy” sure buddy, I’m not the person making personal attacks lol, and you typically focus on a vehicles weaknesses yes that’s how debating works fyi. You act like it has 1200 HP or something I mean when in reality it’s got like 180 on the Vextra 105 while weighing 2 more tons and having a worse round and no thermals. But hey go on insulting people that’s how you win arguments.
That’s objectively wrong. Rad90 is notably faster to accelerate and maintains higher top speed off roads, has the best protection for all wheeled tanks in the game by far and retains great firepower for 10.0 BR. The soft characteristics (gun depression around the tank, optics, etc) are also very good in comparison to VEXTRA and M1128. It outclasses 9.7 BR wheeled tanks by enough of a margin to fit 10.0 BR comfortably.
Yeah, not recognizing how the Rad90 can basically push most 25mm to 30mm IFVs for free and expect to take minimal damage is questionable. Everything else has to run for hard cover, Rad90 can just tank it without difficulty.
Rad90 can resist 30mm AP and APDS without issue from the side at distance, that is not true for literally any other wheeled tank in the game. If Rad90 is made of paper then the others are made of air. Questionable response to a confirmed advantage of the Rad90.
Is that protection in the room with us? Wanna tell that to the Rad I nuked at 1.2km with my ZA-35?
Or wanna tell that to the countless Rads I melted in the Falcon? Two days ago I added a Rad to my wall with the Badger’s 30mm APFSDS. I’ve seen them die to .50 cals. Its only got 26mm of armour at best, and if you’re shooting at the turret you’re doing it wrong, always aim at the hull, your rounds will find its ammo before it can respond.
Superior gunner sight magnification at 15.9x, ideal for sniper role, Leopard 2k has the same optical zoom level which makes them the deadliest snipers duo at 10.0.
You’re absolutely right. Such a big mobility advanatge is way more significant than thermals, which are situational. And it has impact on all maps, not only the ones with dense forests and long sightlines (which are about 50% or less of the map pool)
