In the gutter (circa 2022) because they didn’t have the aforementioned hard counters to the Kamov & Fixed wing meta of the time
So what ? Russia was my first nation i played.
Followed by Merkavas with nearly 700 games we are going to ignore huh.
Wrong again, up to 1 of october i have 480 games in Mi28, since i played it instead of KA52.
Which means i played around 16 games with it since LMUR.
Try harder.

So what could be even changed with the lmurs? Or what could be changed so thing’s dont remain as they are?
Seems like not alot, considering gaijin also recently buffed the AGM-179 profile to that of a hellfire, and from what ive heard people appreciated it. You also have double the capacity additionally with ldircm capabilities, what more to this asymmetrical balance?
Maybe i think, ARH sams could get a buff or helis giving rotor radar return so missiles can track helis trying to go to the notch?
A non’fictional amount to start witb, no Mi-28 has been shown with 8 LMURs mounted, so it’s yet another fictionally OP russian CAS asset.
Funny that they’ll make these concessions for Russia but not a fictional IR seeker for Brimstone

USA has a better lineup with identically OP CAS. [Not my personal take.]
People complain about USSR because meta players are currently playing it.
I statcard check most people that frag me in top BR, because I want to know their skill level.
I also statcard check the top players of enemy teams for the same reason, though that’s not as common.
Skill is a hugely larger indicator than anything else.

I mean the username is just to trigger people ingame and it works, it’s pretty hillarious.

For 3 months straight??
I have been playing russia ground toptier for sometime now, the player count in queues reflects that its usually 3x-4x more than any other nation. It has been the case for at least 2 months now, and has not decreased…
Im pretty sure it was the same case in September as well before the lmur introduction but i cant get the numbers of games played before September 25th and after September 25th to prove that.
You should’ve seen the over 12 months straight USA had the meta players at the top end in 2019 - 2021.
Go see how long people called the T-80BVM OP because skilled players played it.
Now go see how often people called Strv 122 OP despite it being genuinely the best top BR tank from introduction to present.
It’s crickets…
Most things [Mi-28NM is an exception] called OP, are vehicles being used by skilled players.
Back when the F-4E was top dog, it was met by tunguska, which was a balanced counter
When F-16C was top dog, it was met by pantsir, which is an overmatch in favour of the pantsir
However when Su-34 was top dog, we had what, an ITO-90… Flarakrad… absolute and fundamental imbalance there
Gaijin just needs to completely remove LDIRCM (which they wont) and it would be fine-ish.
At least those helictopters could then also be killed by other helicopters.

T-80BVM was never ‘OP’, it just got bullshit armour modelling that lead to frustration from literally everyone fighting it
Strv 122 has never been ‘OP’ because it’s stayed the same since launch more or less, and while remaining the best MBT, has never been blatantly overpowered
Su-30SM, KA-52, MI-28NM, Su-34, Su-27SM, Su-25SM3 have all been Balatantly overperforming within their respective period of addition
Well it seems that the US CAS is not as OP as you like to portray it as. Not surprising considering that before June no tech tree had a competetive SPAA + strong CAS combo.
Like ive already said and calculated above, there is no player migration big enough to facilitate these winrate swings short of every additional player having godly winrates.
Your couple games each month are statistically insignificant and bear no meaning in the context of games played each month.
LDIRCM should go for everyone I agree, it was unnecessary powercreep, especially since most nations can’t receive it realistically

Yea if we remove ldircm, lmurs wont realistically be a problem.
I have the french guardian.
But unlike the 3 LDIRCM nations, i can’t even play the heli on certain maps, due to the IR f&f AA.
And if they decide to spawn their heli, i can only hide or die, since i can’t do anything to them.

Actually just nerf ldircm, i think limiting the way it can defeat IIR missiles is ridiculous.
But yeah like ghost of telaviv said.
If we remove it, then its impossible for helis to make any play, gaijin just also doesnt want cas to have a hard time against sam systems, so it would rather nerf them to make it playable.
If all IR FnF missiles received LMUR trajectory coding, and all helis lost LDIRCM, then helis would be remarkably balanced again and I could stop complaining

It would likely still be a problem as only one or two sams could counter it, that being said they can just add the radar return of the blades
Realistically it should only be defeating AAMs and MANPADS, i don’t think we should be seeing IR AGMs, especially top down ones being defeated by LDIRCM, unless they are roof mounted
