agreed. you can argue its fair for a centurion 5/1 to face T55 but is it fair to face a ferdinand?

in comparison they do.
Decompression is the key word here.

They still don’t.
Thats not my point. These tanks are on par with the T-72 on terms of performance.
player performance perhaps. But i dont think player skill issue should be the balancing factor
It’s like it’s really beneficial to be fast in this game or something
I wonder what ppl actually take more issue with, T-72A or all the BMD racecars rn

Not just player performance, but actual characteristics of each vehicle, including mobility and reload time, etc.
they are “fast” but never get to use that speed. its not like an XM800, fox or BTR
The VFM and Rooikat are a hell of a lot faster than a T-72A
the rooikat cant turn and the VFM isn’t much faster than a leopard
the Rooikat can absolutely turn, it can also reverse, has insane gun handling for the tier, ESS+Thermal combo and a 6 sec autoloader
VFM:
- 19.6 hp/t vs 29hp/t
- isn’t much faster
okay lmao

The Rooikat MTTD is surprisingly survivable due to its turret shape, the turret cheek just “sunk” in enough to render getting hit there a non-critical damage in a hull down position. With the 105mm, they are night and day differences in performance compared to the 8.7 version where the 76mm would only generate machine pistol spalls. Definitely one of the more survivable light tanks I’ve ever played.

yeah
Absolutely- best armour and best firepower for the BR, great forward mobility though of course poor reverse speed. They are amazing tanks for everything but like hard flanking and ought to be moved up.
Same with the ZTZ96 and Chieftain 10.
Vehicles should be compared to their contemporaries at the same BR, not +/- 1 BR.

No vehicle should be compared to what they face… That’s the whole argument of if a vehicle is balanced or not.
