Strv 122s have been busted ever since they were added man. Even with the spall liner nerfs, all that had changed was reverse the 122s to their “pre-buff” status when they were still busted (nearly unpenetrable frontally, M/95 that hits like a literal nuke…).
I’d also go as far as to say 2A7V isn’t nearly as busted as 122s because it can actually be perforated along most of its frontal arc (upper plate, weaker turret & hull etc), and with spall liners being no more than an aesthetic atm, you have to be extremely lucky to survive more than two hits.
eh idk but I like the idea as is since you would want the western fighter line free for the Typhoons ect.
Swiss aircraft doesn’t make sense in the Eastern line.
Plus the Tornado should be cheaper since there more aircraft before it.
Spall liners are nothing more than just pretty looking plates (they still work on CV9040s though…).
2A7V used to be on a different level when spall liners still worked (no denying that, as I myself experienced it while playing the 2A7V and consecutively tanking 17 Vikhrs without losinge even a single crew member back in December/January), but now? Meh.
In the previous two years, we had already gotten 3 devs at the same time, but this time it was clear that Gaijin was hiding a bit from them, hmmmmmmmmmm
Lmao. It is still on a different level. Having played a lot of the top tier MBTs, the 2A7V is so good and easy to play that it’s boring.
I know that a lot of the true German mains (not you) like to claim that the improved stats comes from their skill, but overall German mains are easily still similarly skilled as US mains, just carried by the 2A7V being laughably strong.
Sure, if that level is 3 on a scale from 1 to 5 where 122s are the 5s and SEP is a 2, then yes, I agree. But the difference is nowhere as big as people like to claim (i.e 2A7V = 122s). I’ve found majority of MBTs insanely boring (Type 90s the most because they’re arguably the best pound for pound 11.0s and nothing you say will change my mind, my K/B is higher in them than in the 2A7V which I played the most when spall liners were still “at their full capacity” i.e pre-nerf, so yea, Type 90 and TKX-P = boringggg).
Theoretically, the teaser will be released at the end of this month, and it is difficult to delay it later, otherwise the time is very tight, as there is a major update in October.
This time, Gaijin didn’t show us dev, maybe he was hiding something and wanted to hide it from us
