See Russian main cry about Leopard 2 very hard to kill but they forget that none of Leopard except 2A7V have spall liner what they are shooting at is Strv122 which not that hard byt it gonna take more than one shot ofc seriously Sweden now becomes better line up than Germany overall now
Vilkas now has the NATO hump ( if turned rearwards the turret is locked to about -3 degrees)
the cannon doesnt overheat quite as fast but still faster than 9030 and VBCI (I´m ok with that honestly because the spall of the stock APDS seems unreal even better than VBCI)
I just realized how screwed up the armor modifiers are when rubber screens have a x0.2 coefficient and
composite screens have x0.16…
not quite right 2a5/6/pso have spall liners for turret only

I wouldn’t give up a dollar for him. It’s completely useless in that BR.
Puma is alright if you flank but it is not good for its br, though it might just be Im trash at light tanks (Dont look at my puma stats plz)
this is so funny lol. thanks for keeping me amused thodin. Your satire on the average Germany main will never get old.
Almost like people are grinding for their new aircraft.
When I played top tier ground RB yesterday there were barely 5 US players in queue for rank VIII, does that also mean the US isn’t a major nation anymore for top tier ground?
Or is it because there are more interesting new tanks to grind for other nations? Just as in your screenshot?

The Puma has always felt like a two sided coin for me. Sometimes I’d kill a tank like a T-90A from the front in 2 or 3 shots, and other times I’d shoot the ammo rack of a T-72 15 times from the side, nothing happens, then I die. Feels wildly inconsistent.

yea and the still not fixed armor is only playing into that its rly sad to play it honestly
I 100% agree, but that was also the point I was trying to make.
-
Not a lot of people playing Germany air top tier because there wasn’t anything interesting added in the last major update.
-
Not a lot of people playing US ground top tier because there wasn’t anything interesting added in the last major update (in it’s current state).
Both are exactly the same situation. So the guy posting the screenshot jokingly implying Germany isn’t a major nation anymore indirectly also implies that the US isn’t a major nation anymore.
I’ve been playing Germany for many years, since 2016 to be exact. I’ve completed their ground tech tree and half completed their air tech tree. After all this time, I have zero interest, because I’ve switched over to Russia and USA, who offer much better vehicles and lineups. They have better aircraft overall, heavy tanks, IFV’s, light tanks, SPAA, and especially Main Battle Tanks. Want to play Leopards? Go for Sweden, they have the best in the game. Want to have a big and diverse lineup? Go for Russia or USA. Want to fly a Phantom? Go for anyone but Germany, as they have probably the worst phantom in-game. Want to play a MiG-29? Go for Russia, as they have better aircraft leading up to it, and just recently got the Su-27. Want to play an actual German aircraft at top-tier? Well you can’t as of now, because they don’t exist yet. The only exception is the Tornado, which is only good at one thing, that being CAS. The one thing Germany has going for it anymore is their somewhat unique vehicles, which even now are outclassed by other nations. One of their most unique being the Begleitpanzer 57. It has a rapid firing 57mm autocannon that fires Armor Piercing ammo, and HE-VT. It previously had an APHE round that had good damage and good penetration, which was replaced with SAP when the begleitpanzer recieved a two-plane stabilizer and first generation thermal optics for the gunner. it has a missile launcher on the roof that fires I-TOW ATGM’s. It was unique until Russia got the 2S38, which is better in nearly every way. It has IRST tracking lock on for aircraft, 3rd generation thermal optics for the commander and gunner, an APFSDS round for the 57mm autocannon, as well as HE-VT. The rest of the more unique vehicles that have been added over the years are just useless filler vehicles that were never necessary to begin with. A few examples being the Raketenautomat (A worse version of the U-SH 405), JaPz.K A2 (Which france has as well), DF105 (which should have been given to france IMO), and the M48 Super. One issue that I’ve noticed with this latest patch is that they nerfed the composite applique armor modifiers for the Leopard 2A7, as well as all the Strv 122’s. Just seems strange that they only do this after Germany gets an equivalent MBT. I think that’s all I have on my mind. If you disagree with anything I said feel free to comment.
Also wanted to add that their helicopter tree, for a while had the best helicopter at top tier being the Eurocopter, being the only helicopter with fire and forget missiles, the PARS 3 LR. However since not too long ago, they don’t even have that, because Italy and France received helicopters with SPIKE ER missiles, which do the same thing. I can’t comment on how good or bad Spikes are, but I have heard they don’t perform that well. But I will say I think it’s good that other countries have it now.
I also think it’s rather funny that the bug report stating the Leopard 2A7V has the incredibly outdated hull and several people posting supporting evidence that it shouldn’t have said armor was forwarded as a suggestion, and not accepted as an actual bug that should be fixed.
