That’s because Gaijin needed to release a statement and not bury their heads in the sand.
They added this system and every Russian main is fighting to keep it in game…who doesn’t want to be able to farm 10+ kills a game between the Su-30 and Su-34?
Gaijins refusal to acknowledge the problem creates frustration and in some cases name calling.
Until it’s actually known what other ships are coming this update, I’m sure that’s hard to answer.
Gnei would be good in the meta right now, but drop it into an environment containing Soyuz, Iowa, Bismarck and Yamato, it’s probably going to feel the same way fighting them as everything else did fighting Scharn up to now lol.
Like atleast between Scharn and Bismarck, Scharn will still likely be the better of the two at taking out cruisers, but between 38cm Gnei and Bis, there’s basically zero reason to play Gnei.
Same thing that page will never be reopened again and if it is the first sign of a disagreement will close it.
Bad actors acting in bad faith will ensure no space for a discussion can be had.
It’s the same guns as bismarck so would be the best 15” gun in game iirc maybe Vanguard may be slightly superior with super charges.
Reload is a toss up. IRL it would’ve been 60-70 seconds. Smin said that would be reportable but also its developers discretion. To my knowledge they’ve never exceeded the max firing rate of an autoloader. So it would be hard locked to at least 40 seconds and that’s if the crew had mastered teleportation of shells from the autoloader to the loaded breach.
Crew count will be roughly the same as Scharnhorst.
BR who knows. If they nuke its reload they could put it at 6.7 without surprising me. Regardless that thing is never exceeding 2RPM unless they plan on straight up faking its autoloader.
I can see it starting with Bismarcks ROF until someone reports the reload rate down to nothing. In which case it will be grossly OP. But long term scharn is probably more future proof as her reload is historical
That topic was closed after multiple warnings which went unheeded so I would kindly ask you not to make stuff up and also as you kindly left out I even posted a reply saying that it will be reopened when a Senior says so!
It’s censorship with extra steps though,
Russian mains will never admit the Kh-38 was bad for the game or it is not real.
So what we end up with is an echo chamber where players who are trying to enjoy mixed battles, feel aggrieved that they keep dying to Kh-38 spam. Russian teams are wiping the floor with everyone because of this weapon system and Gaijin refuse to acknowledge it. In turn Russian mains are not going to relinquish their new toy so it becomes a hostile environment. Kh-38 is the closest we have come to an “I win” button.
This problem even with IRIS-T or whatever SAMs are added is not going to go away.
The thread spent more time off topic arguing about equivalents in game or the meta then if it exists or not, imo closing it was perfectly reasonable as there was basically no new evidence or reasonings being added.
I mean, it is kinda my position, but even before i would’ve agreed, i’ve heard from multiple moderators that the thread was a pain due to how much arguments were going on without any real progress, it’s also why i stopped engaging with the thread myself, as there really was no point to what was being said.
