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.
Also worth mentioning that it is a direct and HUGE upgrade over the DF105 in the tech tree
Exactly xd same as the leopard 1a1 L/44 is a direct upgrade over the TT counterparts too.
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.
well it currently has a 40% winrate so according to these wise developers, it is currently suffering and deserving of a BR decrease (or another buff such as a 4 second reload)
Imho it’s one of the best BR for BR AAs. I’m getting it soon, but having a gepard that’s better armored, LRF, and better for anti-air is something i’ll take for more mobility.
its also a copy+paste M1a1 HC which is in techtree
if anything its slightly worst because the chair on the roof increasing its profile
Its a god send when compared to using Vulcan in 8.7 lineup.
Yeah not having 20rpg sabot belt is inconvenient in SOME scenarios but like with Gepard you will be mainly using AP belt on most things (my spicy take? Its even better against air than HE belt because they dont self detonate at 3km).
The M1A1 HC is almost identical to the M1A2 now adays, the distinction used to be the m829A1 rather than the A2.
Infact the HC is identical to the M1A2 now.
it is not identical, HC has IRCM and can equip dozer blade while M1A2 has CITV
Short of a useless dozer and useless IRCM which as it stands are nearly cosmetic.
The armour and firepower are identical, mobility is identical.
Seeing as I have them, and BTW as far as im aware the M1A2 doesnt have CITV if by that you mean commanders thermals. the M1A2 sep and sep v2 get it though.
CITV, Commanders Independent Thermal Viewer
M1A2 does have one
so do SEP and SEPv2
Ill need to check when im on the game again but certainly didnt have one when i was using it last which was only two weeks ago xD
iirc its had it since it was added
Aye I see where I fked up, its got the commanders sight and thermals but theyre gen one, when the sepV2 and such is gen 2 thermals.
Apologies mate, but lets be honest, the only slightly useful upgrade is the CITV and even thats not much to go off, the tanks are still functionally identical.
The M1A1 HC has the same armour, same weapon system, same gunner thermals, optics, same mobility, and arguably the dozer blade is a negative as it means its harder to disguise the tank.
IRCM at that BR is useless anyways unless some poor sods brought a marder or something up to top tier.
The M1A1 HC, and A2 should both be 12.0 vehicles.
Or the M1A1 HC loses M829A2 and stays 11.7 while the A2 moves up to 12.0.
(M1A1 Click- Bait should never have gotten m829A2 without a BR step up.)
Dozer blade acts as a free armor while at the same time not really limiting gun depression, as for some reason gun can clip through the dozer.
yeah I was just trying to say they arent quite identical
if anything I slightly prefer the HC because people tend to take slightly longer to aim and are more likely to mess up a shot when you have the dozer blade on.
