This is literally the most goalpost-moving comment I’ve seen. (Oh, excuse me, I’m exaggerating, but it fits my reaction to seeing this.)
The company “just forgot” about one of its own vehicles?
Why is it so impossible to just say, “Oh, it’s an event vehicle, it’s decently balanced at its tier, we won’t mess with it and piss off all the players who worked so hard for it”, instead of a tech tree or premium where players either bought in or ground the entire line up to it.
This is like the same argument we had in the past regarding the 2S38 at 10.0. Everyone screams bloody murder that it’s balanced at its tier, well gee, it’s a rapid firing sabot-slinger, I wonder why they’d want it.
Now 2S38 sits with Moderna, Object 292, T72B, T-72 1989, and T-72AV TURMS, AND T-80UD, AND T-80B, all at 10.3.
The Soviet line-up at 10.3 is so choked with options it’s disgusting.
The US tech tree has 2 M1s tiered UP at 10.7 with a 1979 round.
Insofar as my discussion, it’s parity to bring the M833 to the M1 and M1 KVT. You call it a buff seemingly is because it makes it sound like the M1 is overpowering you in games.
Sure, but a buff of reload to basically outreload half of NATO MBTs is a big buff
I dont mind M833 for M1 Abrams, nor I mind for Germany to have 11.0 Leo 2A4 with C tech and DM33, but I do see how only Abrams got 5sec, Leclerc was only given it cus of Abrams and it was only now Ariete and Merkava recieved a single buff after being worse then even M1A1 HC for ages if not.
And buff of reload is a buff, no matter how you look at it.
One of most easiest player’s tank to outplay on high tier
Abrams doesn’t really need a reload buff as it usually goes down to the loader in the vehicle in different loaders are slightly different speeds in real life so
Think that’s mainly because the round is so anemic and it’s also a 105, versus the standard 120s.
And even there, the Italians still have a 6-second reload at 10.7 with a DM33.
I’ve already said the British need their 20-round first-stage ammo racks, that’s known and a standard SOP. The idea of niches in main battle tanks and why they gave it to British tanks as a gimme to try and get more people to play was a mistake on the company’s part.
All in all, the company could have sorted reload corrections out long ago, but instead they sat on their hands with it.
Loader’s Reloading Skill could be the same difference as an out-of-shape private who is a featherweight (me), versus a corn-fed country boy who stacks hay daily.
Then they could level it off for the entire top tier at around 5.5 seconds, because that’s pretty much the given. Worse loaders who have no loading skill? 7 or 8 seconds. The higher your Loader Reloading, the better, as given.
Oh it definitely doesnt need any buff to reload now, I am talking of a buff to reload that’s been long in game by now. That’s a thing that actually matters, not M833 players wont really realise to full potential.
Do y’all even play higher than M1? 120MM M1 have 5 seconds of reload for long now. They really have killed only reason to play IPM-1 instead of M1A1.
At a much worse tank than both M1 and Leo 2a4, surely a better rounds compensates.
Doesnt work because your imagination said so? Maybe lets talk about how with 5 sec reload loaders most likely dont even operate blowout door, maybe remove it entirely)?
Not like you would care, in your head M1 survivability is lowest in game.
oh i understand that, but after dealing with these people for over 5 - 7 years on the forums, you should know they hate the U.S, even one of gaijins on staff of bug reporters was found out as to hating the U.S the same guy that’s been closing bug reports saying " not a bug " we have screenshots of it from his twitter page. Thats how we know these people have a nationalistic duty to keep N.A.T.O tanks ESP the U.S Tanks behind and we know they are trying to get classified information on U.S tanks. Just look at the way they word everything, in the bug reports.
Whatever nationalistic bias they may have, you don’t help yourself by continuing to insult them.
Pointing out the rational obvious and offering that it is a game, not actual war, should be enough to convince others where parity is necessary. I believe I’ve made some headway with a lot of folks here, and you’re f*cking damaging that with you coming in here and constantly getting angry with them.
