In 1976 Lieutenant Viktor Belenko of the Soviet Air Defense Forces defected by flying his Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25P “Foxbat” aircraft from near Vladivostok in the Far East of the Soviet Union to Hakodate Airport in Hokkaido Prefecture of Japan.
Thus Japan having captured a MiG-25P making Japan able to have a MiG-25P for their TT.
Well… I think Gaijin can better test the vehicle by adding it as an premium vehicle to Japan first.
Look how it plays through stats, and then add it to the Russian TT.
But they could change the F16A OCU to its historical loadout (removing 120s so IR missiles only) wich would grand Japan a similiar Aircraft at 12.7 but with bedder Air to ground armament to remove the AJ.
The responses in the KH-38 thread and all the threads complaining about the F-18A being at 12.3 as well as some other posts on the forum just reinforce my belief that most players don’t actually care about balance but are instead more concerned with their preferred nation/vehicle stomping everybody else for.
American and Russian mains are the worst for it honestly.
The whole thing about “i only play the strong ones” are whats ideal for gaijin, there is a division between national mains, and overcoming this hindsight requires a lot of grinding across trees
If there’s some video or documented proof of just how much it affects the reloading process, so we are not applying a blanket penality; sure. I’m not denying that it impacts it, but the question is by how much and what terrain do you levy it. The barrel movement is something autoloaders do and I’ve been told the barrel salute for manual tanks is just something that can help the loader but isnt required sometimes. But if we are going to implement the mechanic that raises the barrel when rotating the turret behind the tank, something that can be disabled on some tanks like the Leopard and Abrams, we should at least see the autoloader system impact the barrel traverse.
nation mains usually wants nerfs for the other side without similar mechanics for their own vehicles.
After everyone gets their turret baskets/vertical drives modeled I think the game will be in a pretty fair place. Both autoloaders and mechanical loaders have positives and negatives.
