Can anyone explain me, why tank from this nations USSR, China, Japan, Israel, Italian have Laser Rangefinder at second modification, but Leopards, Abrams, Strv122, Challangers, Leclercs have that as third or fourth modification?
and same for NVD
at some point, i understand why its for USSR, because Russian tanks must have some buffs that they have on paper but not in reality :D but why even other nations have that? i will understand that more modern tanks = sooner NVD and Laser rangefinder, but i dont understand why it is how it is now
Balance and economic purpose, at least from what I can understand. And please don’t bring this up of “Russian vehicles is buffed.” You had a good point before bringing it, now is just a matter of time someone starts yapping based solely on the “Russian Bias” blah, blah, blah.
so its balanced that i have to suffer for longer time with Challangers, Leopards, Abrams to get Laser Rangefinder and NVD, but i dont need almost any suffer to get that with USSR, China, Italy, Israel or with probably best tanks in game (Type 10, TKX, Type 90)
and sorry, but Russian tanks are made by what is on paper, and if you saw what is happening at one place in Europe, you would notice, that Russian tanks and etc are not that good as they are on paper :D so at some point, they are buffed in game
Challenger, Leopards and Abrams are usually excellent vehicles to play. You’re not doing what a Abrams can do when you’re playing on a T-72B, same you won’t do much as a Merkava compared to a Leopard neither on a Type 90 (despite having the easiest stock gameplay for a high battle rating vehicle) and a Challenger to a Merkava. It’s all based on balancing and economic purposes as I said.
did you played top tier ground any recent time? like yes, T-80BVM cant do what Abrams can, but Abrams also cant ricochet or survive that many hits as T-80BVM (its even more at long range)
and what i am playing at top tiers, good Japanese players are playing from distance, how i can beat camping TKX or T-80/T-90 who have laser rangefinder at rank 2, when i have that at rank 4, so i cant snipe him, and when i will be able to hit him, from long distance somehow, TKX will die, but T-80/T-90 will eat that hit or ricochet that and than instantly will fire back, what exactly is balanced on that?
when i was playing as Japan, it was most easy grind, because i had Laser rangefinder quickly and than i was just camping from distance, same i am doing now with Chinese tanks, i cant do that with Leopards or Challangers because i have to be fighting at close range and so many time i dont even have chance to fight at close range, because i will be sniped from distance
and yes, some tanks are good at close distance, like Strv 122, Leopards, but Challangers are slow, quite weak + have laser rangefinder at rank 4 (except i think Challanger 3TD)
T-80BVM’s only advantage is armor + profile. Use your Abrams’ strengths. Also, don’t expect to get your full potential with a vehicle when you’re stock, its part of Gaijin’s monetization.
bro laser rangefinder not even needed, at top tier you should know how to optically rangefind and since dart is fast just get used to using without rangefinder
idk how you, but i am using Laser Rangefinder almost always when its more than ± 400m even when i know its kinda pointless, but i have that on mouse button that i am pressing right before i am firing
and Thermal is for me thing that i have almost always on, because i have problem to see tanks (even red christmas camo that is for challanger in green forrest), so i have to be using thermal vision to see them better
when i know that enemy is aiming on me, i dont care about than laser rangefinder, yes, i still click so it will give me than info, but i fired before it will even finished :D when i know that enemy is not looking at me, i am waiting for that, so, its not happening that they are firing first :D rarely yes, but mostly because i am blind xD
No I didn’t and wouldn’t recommend, specially USA, USSR, Germany, Britain and Sweden, everything else top tier is playable.
T-80BVM and any Soviet MBT or similar design is easy to take out at most distances, if you have a functional brain you won’t engage a target at long distances with Chemical ammunitions when said target has armor to counter this ammunition type.
The Type 90 and Type 10 is easy because: people are not used to fight it, you have a quick reload cannon, you’re going to reload much faster compared to anything else. Which, makes it good with decent composite values and firepower a great brawler, compared to the T-80BVM, which T-90M is better at close ranges.
yes, good player can play without laser rangefinder, but new players that have top tier tanks, are quite useless without that xD
one guy that is playing with me, he is ok, when he is using Clickbait, but when he is in AIM or any other Abrams what he have without laser rangefinder, he is kinda useless xD
at range 1km, its not easy to kill T-80 and etc, without laser rangefinder, why? because most of the time, APFSDS will ricochet or explosive armor will eat that shell, its something that i saw from both sides :D
Type 90/Type 10 and decent composite values? almost any hit = you are dead xD only when you are lucky or your enemy dont have brain, than you can survive more :D
and also, about what is playable i cant agree on that, like for me, Sweden, Japan is pretty good, Germany, China, USSR is ok, Britain and USA is worse, but still playable, but with less win rate
about Italy, France, Israel i dont know, since i was not playing this nations and i dont have there any top tier
Honestly, they shouldnt even be there in the first place. Although top tier is the easiest aiming wise, it is too fast paced for someone who is not familiar with the game.
