For what? For losing the war?
Taking part. Its a game, doesnt matter.
I agree i would also like to see a new German ww2 tank, but not as a “historical day for germany, losing the war” vehicle… xD
Maybe reunition day, maybe they already did aside from decalls, idk i dont remember.
Nah, like some people already mentioned, only decals for almost all or all other nations on historical days. Only russian gets special stuff.
According to Thunderstats (last 30 days):
Realistic Battles: Ratel 20
- [Battles] 336
- [Win rate] 48.6%
- [Air frags per battle] 0.02
- [Air frags per death] 0.02
- [Ground frags per battle] 0.79
- [Ground frags per death] 0.71
Realistic Battles Fox
- [Battles] 1118
- [Win rate] 65.81%
- [Air frags per battle] N/A
- [Air frags per death] N/A
- [Ground frags per battle] 2.62
- [Ground frags per death] 1.67
Any have more questions why? I dont.
What country besides russia even celebrates this holiday? I know we get a lot of russian stuff in nuetral events, but this actuslly makes sense.

I think he is, like many, just frustrated that its always only russian stuff that gets added on their special days. Most or all others get nothing more then a decal.
Just googled a bit and according to it, the veterans day is the highest military holiday in the USA, Gaijin didnt even mentions that day at all… but the UDSSR space day “whatever the name was” gets into the news every year.
German unity day got also hit hard… doing nothing but being able to buy two prems again for a short time… wow thanks… how exciting…and one of the prems is a british plane sea hawk with AA missles at 8.0…
fox is an average small light. plus from the raw skill issue germans had when it was 6.7 people had a lot of time to get really good with it. I aced the things crew in a week from blind tiger 2 players and from knowing the vehicle can punch above its weight quite well
Ratel is at a lower BR where people haven’t learned to use such vehicles yet. Its also not .50 cal proof so you need to be more aware to use it.
Either way a MILAN ATGM has no business facing tiger 1. it should be 7.3 and i don’t care if it would be irrelevant higher up from it
There is so many stuff that is on the wrong BR… Ratel 20 is really not even in the top 50 of Vehicles that needs to be addressed.
For me personally not even on the list at all. Its simply super easy to defeat, has nothing special going for it… and that is also reflected in the Vehicle Stats… so…
btw thunderstats statistics are for “last 30 days” … so no its not reflecting the stats when it came out over 12 Months ago…

I agree its not super high priority and stats are not great (just like all other SA vehicles)
Its just one that really bugs me as I already feel bad for tiger 1s with how much of a pincushion they are. a MILAN ATGM smacking them when that missile also negates the armour on an IS-6 is just brutal. Theres OP vehicles and then there’s weapons which just shouldn’t be seen until everyone is on newer tech even if the carrier is pretty bad it still has no fair reasoning to be there with such ordianance. its like a ME262 seeing aim9b if it was strapped to a swordfish kind of stupid
I dont mind to face “unrealistic” scenarios, where a MILAN is used against a Tiger 2, as long as its balanced, and i dont see the Ratel 20 very good in many scenarios on the WT battlefield. On a long range map maybe, but then on these Maps CAS is super stong due to the AA being farer away, making u an freekill and also on long range maps u face the issue that the MILAN is slower then an APHE shell… so thats that. If u manage to only show the Launcher, and hide the rest behind a ridge… then maybe… but how often will that be and what do u do after that or before?
If at all i say… as long as the oponnent has a good chance of defeating you… its fine…
thats also why i absolutly hate CAS… if i want to see u dead… u will die and u cant do shit about it… only after you died and respawned maybe.
I cant help but think that shooting a missile into the middle of a ww2 tank and blowing it to hell isn’t very fair as I’m mostly using it for close quarters ambush. ambushing so close they didn’t know I was there.
and when its distance I didn’t need to leas a shot to hit where I wanted to hit. just mouse aim. Its unfair and poor class

U can do that with any other tank too, so why u think thats unfair? Is it unfair to be the better player? I dont think so.
you cant center mass shoot a tiger 2 with almost all guns of the BR, only one I know of that can is the 20pdr APDS and that’s only as a perfect front on and from very close up and doesn’t have the spall to clean out the whole crew most the time. the MILAN just goes clean through, wipes the whole crew with it and you have the 20mm to chew up the barrel if you wiffed the hit.
Its unsportsmanly

Tiger 2 can center of mass shot you aswell, dosnt even need to do that to kill Ratel 20… but ratel 20 need to, especially sideways u have to carefully aim the back of the turred, otherwise u likely dont oneshot it.
U see it as a benefit to be able to kill a tank center of mass… i see that as a deficite that u have to, for most tanks. (tiger 2 is a bad example as it has the most useless turred design)
Especially at that BR, APHE does wonders. If i could use it on all tanks, i would.
Just take it as a compliment that u can do the trick in the Ratel 20. But bringing that think to a higher BR? 7.0 is T44-100, T29, Tiger 2 10.5 with rangefinder, ZSU 57, AMX M4, EBR already… and i would definitly say that all of the listed are much stronger.
well yea, its a heavy tank of ww2. its got a big gun.
the ratel is a LATE 1970s AFV built for the Border war with ordinance that hammered things of that generation.
Its cheesing the game not having to try and guide the missile while everyone else needs to go for the weakspot on the best armoured heavy tank of the BR. often putting a shell through the gunners face will throw enough into the ammo bustle to make a firework even with solid shots.
APHE does overperform while everything else that should be around there is gimped out of relevancy
Im usually one of if not the most experienced player in a 6.7 lobby so I have the natural edge however I still don’t like that I’m bearing the cross of carrying 6.7 teams and being capable of doing it in the Ratel. Im frequently doing 5 kills per game in the thing now life figured it out. Id do probably better at 7.3 with it as there’s more smaller light armoured stuff to make the 20mm more than a track and barrel torturer.

You cannot trust Ai to give an accurate answer XD.
So you want to make it useless? Lemme guess, because it’s Russian?
