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

Much better.

That’s how our boy made a mock-up based on evidence available.

I don’t know about you but an unflareable 10 mile range AIM-9L with 5 extra G sounds pretty wild.

It’s hard to say just yet, but I feel that alot of people don’t understand how strong F&F radar missles are gonna be once they get airframes that can actually pull unlike the AIM-54. the start of every encounter is basically gonna be people spamming as many Fox-3’s as possible at as many targets as possible. The best part is that I won’t have to stay committed to my missle to guide it in, unless the target is outside pitbull range.

I already see this thing at 6.3 or 6.7 despite being miles better than the us and german bulldogs or T92

Does it have a stabiliser?

yes but only apds

Yes, at least according to the blog.

I could see it being 7.0 on release.

Only having APDS won’t matter much when you can almost always get the first shot off.

Well yeah. I don’t want to diagnose an entire nation main group with “Skill issue” or something.

However…

Notice people complaining that the T20 is going up in BR. Meanwhile you can look at skilled players stats in the thing and it’s trivially easy to find players with stats like this.

Same people also complaing the 76 jumbo is too high in br…

Rinse repeat.

Yeah 7.0 seems logical but it would still be better than the T92.

I might have maybe possibly forgotten that the T92 is 7.0 now, oops. The last mid BR “decompression” still escapes me sometimes.

In that case I think 7.3 is a decent BR. Ru 251 is also that BR.

The reason those vehicles are seemingly doing so well is the same reason French vehicles are constantly being nerfed and moved up in BR: since they are widely known to be generally very bad at their BRs, most of the time only more experienced players go back to play them.

Many heavy tanks like the jumbo have distorted statistics because they only get spawned in downtiers. Both jumbos are still great in downtiers but really bad in uptiers similar to the maus.
I can’t really say anything about the T20, because I don’t play that br anymore since the decompression

There wasn’t any decompression, the compression was just moved somewhere else.

7.7 for me honestly

I don’t think it’s much better as a light tank than the Ru 251 which is 7.3.

I forgot that the T92 is 7.0 now, so I adjusted my prediction to 7.3.

So you seriously think that vehicles with good acceleration, APHE and low reload times, are bad?

Is the way you think about it that these vehicles are unironically overtiered to the point of being gimped, but that skilled players enjoy gimping themselves and then drive around wiping the floor with people having a 6+ kill death ratio? Despite that vehicle supposedly being so difficult to use?

My alternative hypothesis is that skilled players milk kills using cracked vehicles, because they have characteristics favourable to highly skilled players.

Again, would you like to explain how, for example, the french 7.7 lineup is literally the statistically most likely lineup to get nukes?

I’m genuinely curious how you reconcile this.

Filter the leaderboard for the month any way you like. Check their vehicle stats.

I’m pointing out that it’s not difficult to find highly skilled players singing the praises of tanks like T20 and so on. Either in their media content or just stats. I infer that there’s a good reason skilled players as a group tend to consistently (ab)use certain vehicles and get ridiculously high stats with them.
