The 10.3 was a gap, people had no access to an IR system at the time IIRC or a good proxy fuse SACLOS system. Players asked for the vehicles as there were versions being added to Italy and IIRC Germany(?) at the time, so gaijin went “why not?”. They also explicitly told us that Rapier was en route.
People seem to forget when we had starstreak only which only some players could actually use.
For you and me sure, but anyone who had a less than good internet connection living idk, in a rural zone for example would be out of luck.
It explicitly required you to have a good ping by the basics of how computer latency works. If you didnt have a good ping, you were in the struggle bus with it. Like, thats not even arguable lol, its physics xD
If only Gaijin would put in the effort to make systems like the Starstreak more useable by making the guidance work more like they would IRL…
Biggest reason why I’m still annoyed about the OSA and Strela to this day is that they will serve as an excuse for Gaijin to pull when asked about when we would get the Cactus
@Smin1080p_WT may I ask if it would be possible to report Trophys on an specific Plattform?
Like, gaijin hasnt added new Trophys to console since ~8 years, would be nice if we would also have Trophys for nations like Israel/Sweden/China
yet another example of Chinese vehicles or features always being released later than all the other vehicles of other nations. This shows that the attitude of Gaijin towards the Chinese vehicles is below that of all other trees. If this isn’t bias I don’t know what is
The only T-80 thing that would be an actual upgrade over the BVM imo would be the object 219M with burlak which is just a T-80BVMesque hull and a new turret with better armor and possibly an aps and an improved reload(not 100% sure on this one).
I am also a massive shill for burlak so I am kinda biased but i dont think it would really be to bad of a tank to add and its actually a real thing that fired its gun unlike the object 640 so…
Adding the better transmission would break every standard Gaijin has had for proof and means they would have to backtrack on a lot of decisions they made in the past or face backlash.
