cute how many of you are trying to put some decent ideas just for them to be thrown into the void
Not sure where the Maus plays into this.
the 9.0 with DM23 is what i’ve always preeched for the Turm III, it keeps an edge but it does reduce its effectiveness
yeah, i’ve only ever used it at 8.3 bar a handful of battles, and it performs perfectly fine
Relying on your armor is bad, yes, but considering every single layer past engaged doesnt exist for the abrams, its really depressing. You can literally be mobility killed, fire control killed, and lose crew from a singular 25mm round as a top tier MBT, all in exchange for a .7s reload advantage and a barely above average shell
Ideas are shredded but gaijin does sometimes listen to reason like not putting a German m48 at 6.7
And the F18E, them trying to pass it as a 14.7 was laughable last balance patch
Could say the same about your cap
In particular given how expensive cap is compared to aa
literally the second best round at top tier
pair that with 5s reload and you have the best firepower in the game
its really hard when you are forced into cqc…and gaijin lead dev saying they want the players to know where the enemies are
Again thats only .7s below an average 6s
Russian tanks get 6s reload stock
Japan gets 4s stock
France gets 5s stock
US gets 7(?)s stock with millions of SL and thousands of hours required for 5.3s
CAP is more expensive because it (should be) more powerful. Currently, spawning CAP is kinda useless since you can spawn IRCCM 1980s SPAA for 70sp against WW2 and Korean war planes.
you have good mobility and good reverse.
you can push out and back into cover much better than Russian tanks
it’s saclos and that’s my bad I was thinking of the pantsir’s missile

SAV-12-20-48 3.7->4.7 genuinely the most unfair vehicle in the game has the same pen as the russian 76 cannons 95MM with a 1.2 second reload genuinely the most skill less vehicle ive ever seen basically a low tier 2S38 hold the trigger down you can just hold a angle and wait this faces 2.7 tanks which stand zero chance if the enemy has a brain and it has insane filler to boot of 860g
Ground RB
I wish both of those were light tanks. And autocannon AT power got buffed. But to prevent 8.3-8.7 spaa situation, aa with that cannons should lose ap belts. Amx10p, sub1-2 and other similar things mistakenly labeled as spaa should become light tanks to get new buffed belts.
Antelope still being above stinger launchers is just insane, you can’t even score with it because everything outranges the missile and the planes that can be seen are shot down before you can even lock on. The damn truck has nothing going on for it but suicide rushing caps for SP and then respawning with aircraft
Sure, spaas are supposed to be a deterrent IRL, but this is not IRL. This is a game which needs to be balanced. Having spaas at such a high BR that they are just useless would defeat the whole point of having them in game. If we were to do that, we would be back where we were last year where the best (non russian) spaa was the ITO90, which had to face KH-38s with double the range, meaning the spaas couldnt even act as a deterrent since the planes could just sit comfortably outside the spaas range slinging missiles. Also, this is GROUND battles we are talking about. If there is a cas plane up that I want to shoot down, I should be able to spawn a GROUND vehicle to do that effectively, not be forced to spawn a plane.
Not by alot, the leopard has a million advantages on top of a better shell, and even then being able to maybe pen slightly more angle on the side of a T-80 doesnt matter that much, pen is pretty useless in top tier since everything one shots the same weakspots
again with this…yes its possible but not every one is aced crew on it so most people have 5.8-6 seconds so really same time to shoot as a t80 or leo thats aced
If the CAS can’t deal with AA, maybe they should spawn a tank?
But I get that tanks are hard to do well in for some people.
