SLM and Pantsir remain as good as they are, Slamraam&Spyder&CS/SA5 remain mediocre =
People will just queue Russia and Germany together and we will get a sort of continuation of the current Russia+Germany+Sweden curbstomp meta.
Germany would legit be the only winner this update in this scenario.
SLM and Pantsir remain as good as they are, Slamraam&Spyder&CS/SA5 also get significanrly buffed =
Still not ideal, but this should at least create enough pressure from both teams to make it so that flying is discouraged and CAS should be easily dealt with.
No specific nations win significantly, but at least people who like playing tanks win.
which is why im suggesting buffs to italy and the UK as right now they have some of the worst tanks at top tier the only nation in a similar boat being isreal from what I have heard.
the thing is even in both of these scenarios nations like france, america, japan still have really good CAS that will be able to actually fight these SPAA, italy and the UK are stuck with SAL weapons with an effective range of 7km an absolute max of 12km and with in 7km you are pretty much dead to any of the new SPAA baring maybe the CS/SA5
The top tier matchmaker is also another big overlook by many people. The fact that Germany, Russia, and Sweden usually match together needs to be addressed.
I mean Italy has a top 5 MBT in the form of the 2A7HU (or top 1 if you count all the 2A7s/Strv 122s as 1 tank).
I would be more than fine with buffing the Challenger 2 reload to a 5 second overall (so removing the reload penalty after the ready rack is emptied), but even the challenger 2s will have a better time if most of the new spaas are good.
Most people playing thie game are not very good and pretty predictable anyway, which makes ground RB manage able outside of cas.
Tech tree placement in matches from my understanding is purely popularity based.
USA and USSR are the most popular, thus will almost never get into matches together.
If Sweden and USA swapped popularity, USA would be on the Soviet team more often.
but Challengers’ reload is bad than others now(i mean even m1a2 can shut 17rounds in 5s reload,but challengers is still 4 round 5s reload…)it’s really balance?
The 4 round ready rack of the Challenger 2 is not only bad for balance, but also unrealistic, there are 20+ charges/projectiles directly below/behind the loader.
Imo the 2A7HU is THE best tank in the game,
Same armor as the German one
.50cal, and better gun and round
compared to the 122B+,
armor isn’t far off but wayyyyyy better thermals
