For you and me sure, but anyone who had a less than good internet connection living idk, in a rural zone for example would be out of luck.
It explicitly required you to have a good ping by the basics of how computer latency works. If you didnt have a good ping, you were in the struggle bus with it. Like, thats not even arguable lol, its physics xD
If only Gaijin would put in the effort to make systems like the Starstreak more useable by making the guidance work more like they would IRL…
Biggest reason why I’m still annoyed about the OSA and Strela to this day is that they will serve as an excuse for Gaijin to pull when asked about when we would get the Cactus
@Smin1080p_WT may I ask if it would be possible to report Trophys on an specific Plattform?
Like, gaijin hasnt added new Trophys to console since ~8 years, would be nice if we would also have Trophys for nations like Israel/Sweden/China
yet another example of Chinese vehicles or features always being released later than all the other vehicles of other nations. This shows that the attitude of Gaijin towards the Chinese vehicles is below that of all other trees. If this isn’t bias I don’t know what is
The only T-80 thing that would be an actual upgrade over the BVM imo would be the object 219M with burlak which is just a T-80BVMesque hull and a new turret with better armor and possibly an aps and an improved reload(not 100% sure on this one).
I am also a massive shill for burlak so I am kinda biased but i dont think it would really be to bad of a tank to add and its actually a real thing that fired its gun unlike the object 640 so…
Adding the better transmission would break every standard Gaijin has had for proof and means they would have to backtrack on a lot of decisions they made in the past or face backlash.
The only way Russia is getting an MBT with a reverse speed faster than 10kph is either through some 80s-90s prototype none of which are really top tier worthy or even on par with the T-80BVM or the T-14 which is kinda abit much to add atm.
For this specific example I’d say Germany is the best comparison, and how long they took to get GDR operated Russian aircraft.
But that is by far not the only example of other nations being treated even worse.
I agree China isn’t treated right either, but outside of maybe US / USSR (and even those have bad times) the other nations are too.
It’s mainly just Gaijin making poor balancing decisions rather than genuine bias.
My current theory is that it was because Olivia was leaking stuff way ahead of time, such as Infantry. She doesn’t leek nearly as much as other leakers and has mainly been all about Infantry recently. I suspect atleast a couple leakers will stop to avoid C&D but I doubt the largest will. Mostly because they hide their identity very well.
But even then, I feel like this is a terrible decision on Gaijins part. Leaks, especially early ones like this, offer an entirely non-consequential stream of feedback for Gaijin.
The community can vouce opinions that Gaijin can base further actions on, entirely without having to ever take responsibility, and with enough time to make changing a plan reasonable.
The only situation where leaks don’t help Gaijin is when they specifically want to oppose the community with irreversible “it’s done now, too late to change” actions that go against what they believe the playerbase would benefit from.
So seeing this now does seem very concerning.
