Im still disappointed we don’t see 12.0 for ground yet

Blue water ship battlepass reward is a very good news indeed. Hope more will come in future for every navy currently in game.

Italian ships would be cool especially if they would have the beautiful historical camos.

Did gaijin explain why they don’t extend ground vehicles to 12.0?

They are going to use the same old “Queue time” excuse

The 2A7V and Strv 122B+ flavor of the month period likely isn’t over yet.

I think they want to squeeze a bit more time and money from it.

T-90M is also very good. I’d place them all at 12.7 if we had that ground decompression

Rank 8 was Gaijin making it so things cost more RP because they took away the hicked top-tier RP cost.

That’s really all it is to it. (oh and I guess premiums.)

I’d place all 3 Strv 122s and 2A7V alone at 12.7.

SEPv1, SEPv2, Leo 2 PSO, 2A6s, Type 10s, Challenger 3, WZ1001, ZTZ99A, BVM and the SXXI with a better round at 12.3.

M1A2, 2A5, Leclercs, Mk.4M, AMV and Leclercs at 12.0.

M1A1 HC, Ariete with fixed armor, Mk.4 LIC, T-72B3, T-80U etc at 11.7.

Mk.4B without M338, Ariete PSO, M1A1 (Maybe with a mod changing it into the M1A1 HA) etc at 11.3.

EDIT: forgot the T-90M. It’s pretty weak for 12.7, would probably place it at 12.3.

I’d say:

  • Strv 122 (all), Leopard 2A7V, T-90M - 12.7

  • M1A2 SEPv1, M1A2 SEPv2, Leopard 2A6 (all), Type 10, TKX, Challenger 3, WZ1001, ZTZ99A, VT4A1, T-80BVM, Leclerc SXXI and AZUR if they got SHARD shell - 12.3

  • M1A2, Leopard 2A5, Leopard 2 PSO, Leclerc S1, Leclerc S2, Merkava 4M - 12.0

  • M1A1 HC, M1A1 AIM, Ariete AMV, Merkava 4 LIC, Merkava 4B, T-72B3, T-80U, T-80UK - 11.7

  • T-90A, M1A1, M1IP, Ariete PSO, Ariete WAR - 11.3

edit. Ariete PSO and WAR also need their CL3143 shell

Gaijin will certainly add another M1A1 instead

Leopard 2A7HU … incoming!

I love the paintjob, nice colors. I use a 2A7HU skin on my 2A7V. xP

The BVM should be the 12.7 tank, I guess. The T-90M is way less flexible but it does have better armor. Though the 90M does also have spalliners while the BVM also only relies on RNG and Russian bias.

I think that too but 12.3 kinda fits it better because it’s lacking spall liners as you said

The 2A6 really isnt a strong enough improvement to warrant a higher BR than the 2A5

I know it isn’t much but it’s still better. If we went by only major differences when picking BRs we would end up with 122s, 2A7 and T-90M at 12.7 and rest of the vehicles at 11.3

Completely ignoring the “disallow a fifth Israeli line”, I see.

2A5 is a backup of 2A6.

Irl it’s hard for me to believe that the L/55 has only 30mm more penetration at 10 meters at a 0° angle. Normal situation, at 1000 meters and at 60°, the penetration is almost identical.

U know, last time when Italy got their first over 600m ammunition, gaijin said it is a big buff…(from 589 to 625)
