And also the second longest location name in the world behind Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit, the full name of Bangkok.
Its been discussed recently in the CR2 thread;
For the CR2, no, Britain opted to stick with the rifled barrel as they liked HESH. Though L27A1 can get a pen buff
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/bMbEJftRqiSp
and is missing ERA perforation if/when that gets modeled. There is also a suspicion that L27A1s post-pen damage isnt quite right and needs a review.
Biggest buffs the CR2 needs right now is:
- Missing armour added
- Missing spall liners added
- ERA overhaul
- Ready rack increased from 4 rounds to 28 rounds
- Regen Steering
- Dozer blades (More fun than anything else)
That should keep us going fairly well for a little while long at the very least. And then we can get the Challenger 3 ( CR3TD doesnt count, its got no armour and missing most features like LWS) which can come with a better shell, etc.
Also, we can always go back to the old solution for the CR2, which was to give the CR2 a reload rate buff over other nations. We were the first or second to get 5 second reload years and years ago
One of the weakest tanks at top top right now. Lowest moblity (except for the CR2E), second or third worst protection, average shell, etc.
CR2BN is only “good” because it has some of hte best optics and the best APS
The recommended playstyle is rush into CAS, and stay in the air. (though with no decent IFVs because gaijin refuses to add them, its not quite as easy)

I think in that case the ask should be to nerf those munitions to bring parity as opposed to further buffing and exasperating the problem
As for your other comment:
I do fine as Japan and we don’t even have CAS lol. It’s not balanced but it’s not unplayable, fwiw
Outside of the usual issue of CAS being overbearing right now, I think the actual ground combat seems fine? The winning combination seems to be who keeps spawning instead of leaving the game
Then, there is no need to add a 40km range SPAA. Just need something 20km range like the Pantsir for all nations. But Id still like FnF Brimstones for ASB
Bare in mind, the TKX has a 4 second reload vs the CR2s 5 seconds (with a larger ready rack too), and a better shell (50mm more pen), better moblility (11kph faster), better zoom (not sure about thermal gen)
BN has better armour and the APS
TKX looks pretty decent for the current gameplay at top tier. Though like Britain, Japan seems to be denied top tier IFVs
For Japan it’s at least partially due to a lack of options, as there’s only one non-Thai one, the CCV, which has very little public information.
Fair enough on that then, But Britain has at least 6 options for 10+ so its a real shame

CCV my beloved

Even still, the difference between 4 and 5 isn’t that huge. Even when fighting Abrams I do not get to take advantage of the 1 second difference as it’s rare that we both fire within a 1 second time frame and are unhurt enough to fire a followup shot, racing the timer
To be fair, even Pantsir would struggle past 12km. Maybe I’ve had bad Pantsir players but past 12km they struggle to hit me in my F-15J(M) at mid alt

this is what Pantsir like, in old times, nobody’s rwr can detect K band, so it’s a non-warning fast killer, but if you know it’s coming, its bad mobility becomes disadvantage
The strongest of all is the psychological pressure of knowing you might have been shot.

I saw people over reacting when they saw missiles, and loose too much energy so the second missile can catch them
sou when are we expecting teaser and Server? this or next Thursday?
If RWR is upgraded, the threat level will definitely drop… below ITO.
This Thursday for the teaser, Friday for the stream, and Saturday for the server.

not really, ESA radar makes it a good intercepter, and longer range means still chance, for ITO, there is no chance of shot down 12km+ enemy
Yeah skill matters a lot, and half of what was in you original post was skill issue and some lies/exaggerations of stuff.
Never it was. SF40, Emden, Koln, Brooklyn, Spee, Hyuga, Kommuna, Scharnhorst. Actually now is the better balance than before.
First, you forgot the PG-02 days
And the current balance is definitely NOT the best we had in naval
Top tier was much more balanced before battleships arrived, when cruiser could ammo-rack eachother in less than a minute of firing
tbh all battleships&battlecruiser could easily go to +1 br, to decompress a bit
