Like seriously, @Smin1080p_WT, honestly you don’t think a tank with inferior armor, survivability, and supbar firepower (532mm of penetration because the devs still haven’t gotten around to fixing DM43s velocity), should be at the same BR as things like M1A1 HC/Click-Bait that get TOP TIER SHELLS? Please tell me that because I am losing hope.
Give it DM53 for God’s sake, this is a joke beyond jokes.
M1A1 HC has now better armor and a significantly better shell at the same BR. Why didn’t they give M1A1 AIM its historical KEW-A2 shell, which would be the equivalent of the M829A2 the HCs are getting?
I mean yeah I get it, but once again the point of the BR change is not to improve balance at top tier, it’s to improve the situation from 9.0-11.0 which gets dragged up to top tier.
I’m certain that BR decompression for top tier will come when Gaijin is ready to add more top ground vehicles. But it seems right now they’re focusing on aircraft, since there’s a bit more room to expand there.
My guy, some nations have already reached a dead-end in terms of content. Japan has nothing more left to add, Germany has just 2A7V copy-pastes with Trophy, US has one MBT left, UK has just the Challenger 3 left.
We are in the end game now, and they still haven’t done any proper decompression of BRs (we should’ve been on 13.0 by now, not 12.0), what we have is a circus.
It does have better thermal generation, and if it had the CITV it’s currently missing then I’d say it would be on the same level as the HC and clickbait, but as of now the lackluster firepower and missing CITV are indeed a problem…
Its literally the same rank and soon BR as the T14 which is cheaper, iirc they have similar bonuses also so maybe im missing something but between the 2 the T14 is still cheaper and has a lineup so the 2.8k price doesnt make much sense. Unless they differ greatly in RP/SL modifiers.
