Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

Ah yes, the CR2 OES:

The slowest tank at top tier.
With ERA that doesnt work meaning you drag 10 tons of ERA for no reason
The tank itself has no armour, meaning no meaningful survivability
The L27A1 is the weakest shell at top tier
We also have a stupidly small ready rack for no reason at all other than “Gaijin”

So you have identified the slowest tank at top tier, with the second worst survivability, the worst shell and after a few rounds, one of the worst reload rates.

Sure you can repeatedly slam your head against the wall and get kills, but its not top tier worthy. The CR2s bar the CR2E and CR2BN should be 11.0 maybe 11.3 and the BN and 2E should be 11.3 or maybe 11.7. Conmbined with moving the 2A7s and co up to 12.3 or 12.7 and maybe we’d be playable

I don’t think it would be a premium the f18 is already a top tier premium. Potentially could be event vehicle but honestly I also don’t think it would be because of the f14 iraf is already a 13.0 event vehicle. I do think it’ll be added to the tech tree because its NOT THE SAME as the f14A/B and it’ll get folder in at 13.3-13.7 under the other f14s

3569

Idk what to say.
Cope less maybe?
Its normal tank, surely might be worser than other 11.7, but you still can do 2+kd in it.(specificly you cant, but yk)

3570

Yeah thats about right lol, one of my recent night battles i got, i dropped 7 kills in my AHS and 10 kills in my JAS39A, GER, US, RUS were just so blind and against spawning anti CAS until i was above them dropping Paveways on to their SLAMRAAM and Pantsir from about 1000m up on carpathians

3571

Or maybe they can drop its BR or actually give us the ovehraul they promised like 2 years ago and fix the 50 or so outstanding bug reports for it. Heck, recently submitted and accepted bug report will increase its horsepower by about 10%.

There is 0 justfiication for any of the CR2s to be 11.7 or 12.0 at this time.

3572

Im not against dropping br. Im against cope that youre trying to bring, while being just unable to perform good in game.

What cope?

The CR2 is artifically nerfed. There is enough reports to prove that. Like the whole “aluminium backplate” BS. That was proven wrong before that change even went live. Still here 1+ years later.

No usavle top tier IFV
no usable top tier SAM (granted, Italy is in the same boat there)
weakest MBT accross the board

Into CAS:

  • Heli has no FnF or DIRCM
  • Brimstones, artificially nerfed.
  • BOL, Artificially nerfed
  • Tornado, Artificially nerfed
  • Harrier, Artificially nerfed
    Heck, TIALD, Artificially nerfed with Sniper denied for the Gr7

Even our naval is artificially nerfed, with most of our battleships being denied HE-VT for our secondaries despite being located on US BBs at the same BR and msot of them have been denied other features like A2A radar.

Cool.
Even if theyre nerfed - theyre still playable, thats point im trying to bring.
Is that hard to understand?

MAAAA, they’re turning the Rumors round-up thread into the Brittain suffers thread again!

3576

Well, let’s hope to not turn into suffering USSR tech tree (especially top tier)

3577

It was a discussion about something and you can always bring something up yourself to bring it back into topic 🤦🏽

3578

That was a thing?

3579

Yeah. They can go discuss that elsewhere in a appropriate thread or in DM’s

Britain is favored enough to get BOL on their jets in the first place, remember how T10 got BOL after a little asking while F-15’s still don’t have it

Any vehicle is playable…You select them and hit play.

It’s how good they are that counts. Many nations have the same problems but Britain really gets it tight. Badger…Slowest fire rate they could have added and it still has massive dispersion. So not only does it have a crazy slow rate of fire it has the accuracy of if it was being used in full auto.
Rapier…Lol, Scimitar…still not fixed.
CR2/CR3 pure trash.

Again yes I know other nations have things missing, I often hear German mains voicing how the Strv122B+ has better armour than the 2A7V and in reality they should be the same! And yeah that would pee me off too, but it doesn’t make the vehicle unplayable. CR2 has needed love for a long time it is now comfortably the worst top tier tank if not in mobility, armour then in fire power.

It’s got so bad we are begging gaijin for an extra 100bhp!

Except, they arent.

No where close.

Britains ground tree ends at 10.7 and thats a fact.

3583

Hang on, what?

We asked for 2x BOL (instead of its historically accurate 4x BOL) because the AV-8B (NA) at the same BR, had triple the CM count, an easier to use gun and (at the time) a better engine.

No different to the US asking for better engiens for the F-15E because the F-15I had better engines

or the US Asking for Aim-9Ms because the Mig-29SMT got R-73s

Also, the F-15E has 240 CMs already. Which is way above the average CM count for most top tier aircraft. If the US had only 60 CMs, then that mgiht be a reasonable comparison.

No its different, because AV-8B NA didn’t have BOL.

If you want to go that route, need I remind you the F-15I has 120 more countermeasures? And the Typhoon has BOL countermeasures, so it shouldn’t be a problem for the US F-15
