Opinions on the XM246?

I agree, only giving it those tools would result in it moving up in BR. I know the PGZ09 has AHEAD at 8.3, but that’s just because Gaijin doesn’t care about minor nation BRs (Hence the wierdness with the Israeli Magachs).

The US is also the only nation that doesn’t need those tools, because they have one of the only two conventional SPAAs with them at the next lineup.

Same like M247.

How is it worse? The guns are closer together so planes and AGMs can’t just fly between them, this also makes it much more convenient to shoot tanks.
It’s also way better protected so enemy IFVs and SPAAs are less likely to just onetap you, and more resistant to aircraft fire. AFAIK you also can’t lose your gunner or FCS to .50s which is a HUGE upgrade. And being more spacious means you’ll survive tank shells more often.

If it got proxy fuse it would move to 9.0+, better to not get it so the gap between VADS and York is filled.

Similar story with Gepard. And that one isn’t the best 8.3 SPAA, not even close.

Its not as OP as most say it is though?

And its true that USSR SPAA is underwhelming until you get the strela…

Lmao you think the M247 is stupidly good? Hahahhahahaa now I know what the people that deny Russian bias feel like hahahahahahahahaha

It’s mostly the fact that it out ranges everything else, and yes, you can dodge the missiles, but it takes some degree of skill when they can launch one after another after another and I mean, it’s not like you can’t dodge most other SAMs either.

Tracer-less HE-VT is indeed stupidly good.

So it sounds like SPAA is finally useful for once

It is indeed stupidly good, what is that hahaha for? to deceive people?

it would be better if gaijin didnt model it as having a parachute attatched

it is stupidly good, intercept 4 kh-38s yesterday
my highest plane kills is 7(1 Su-30, 2 Su-34, 4 Ka-50 and 1 Su-25) using it at 11.7
no one expect such thing at the BR

it would help if the ADATS wasnt stupidly gimped so m247 wasnt the best US AA for intercepting munitions

i still dont get why Gaijin is bias, like why not just brush it aside
ego too high or what

If yall insisting there is bias instead of them being incompetent, imagine what will happen to USA if the game dev is from China lol

yes because one nation having both by far the best AA and the best air to ground weapons (both fixed and rotary wing) is absolutely fair even more so given that that AA is the only one able to defend against large numbers of munitions simultaneously

and competing nations have their best AA artificially limited in a stupid number of ways making it unable to intercept air to ground weapons

id say both tbh
bias and incompetence is a deadly combo

I dont think some in here used it yet but I only have 3 games in it and it has already gave me a handful of laughs and this game hasent done that in a while. No way this thing is staying at 8.3 and likely knowing Gaijin they will throw it to the wolves and raise it to 8.7 so it and the M60 RISE can be a lineup. It truly would be a shame if that were the case.

ykw dude this thing kinda slap
it should have more ammo than gepard tho

Going by how survivable or busted its model is, it should be 8.7 man, ive rattled 120mm apds through its turret n done nothing to it at all.

Have you played top tier? have you seen the chaos the F15E, F15I, Typhoon, Rafale are causing?
never mind all the strike air craft with mental stand off weapons.

The pantsir is the best SPAA wont argue that, but its useless against these platforms, period.
if I can easily fly about in an F15A and drop GBUs then go A2A then what can anyone else do in their Rafales, typhoons etc.

the Su34 and su30 may have the Kh38s but theyre also flying continents with garbage FMs, great can pull a lot of AoA and turn themselves into a stationary target.

There isnt russian bias in the game at all.

If so why has USA dominated Air for god knows how many years now, not just at top tier but at most BRs.

And why is germany and sweden tied for best top tier tree in game, whilst germany has Br for BR one of the best trees in the game.

You’ve got one nation rank 8 and its the USA.

Dont start spreading stuff about bias when you havent experienced most trees, especially at top tier

There is a bias, for premiums.
hence why germany is filled with them.
clovis? 8.0, LRF, heat, good platform, 20mm auto cannon.
turm 3? 8.3 105 mm 5 second auto loader, 30mm coaxial and a great platform bar the armour department.
Oh look the M1A1 click bait, sits at 11.7 when its virtually identical to the 12.0 M1A2 sep bar has no tusk kit. has access to a top tier round, can club 10.7s.

The 2s38, need i say more.
tam 2Ip sat under BR’d for god knows how long.
CV90 105 another one, vidar, PzH2000 prem .

etc etc etc, theres no specific bias bar for premiums.
