Reason: This is just a type 90 with denser frontal armor but way worse coverage and survivability with a smaller ready rack. The jm33 is already a bit underpowered for its current br so it won’t do well against top tier at 11.7. This is also breaking up one of japan’s very few good lineups. It literally has 30 mm of armor on the side, how this is equal to the leopard 2 pl or 2a4m or the m1a2? The only good thing about this is its reload, and because of that, better players come play japan and this tank, but if all players were the same skill, would this tank really deserve 11.7?
Mode: Ground realistic
Vehicle: AMX DCA
Change: 8.7 → 8.3
Reason: Compared to gepard or brittish marksman it has worse radar and worse belts + less pen on APDS. It should be same br Not higher
If only they give it 3bm28, I don’t even know if it can use it lol M60 TTS is also there… Having M774, reload quicker, lrf, so much better zoom, thermals loool
Also ZTZ88s, T-69IIG also there with M111, longer barrel version has over 200mm angle pen, having lrf, and 7.5 seconds reload aced, no way the 435 is equal to these vehicles.
Reason: Slower than an 8.0 mig-15 or sabre. 120 rounds of slow 30mm cannon. Sure it has a good turn time but good luck catching up to an enemy and hitting them. This has the same problem as a zero where if you get into a dogfight, you’ll probably win, except its at a br where players aren’t so stupid that they dogfight anything they see. Oh, and one last thing. 4 MINUTES OF FUEL. DO YOU WANT ME TO GET BACK TO THE AIRFEILD? “just manage your fuel” YES THEN IM GONNA GO THE SPEED OF A PROP PLANE AND HAVE THE ACCELERATION OF A BI PLANE AND REACH THE BATTLE AFTER ITS OVER. ONLY THE BEST PLAYERS PLAY THESE PLANES FOR A REASON.
Mode: Ground realistic
Vehicle: ITPSV leopard
Change: 8.7 → 8.3
Reason: Compared brittish marksman it only gets a slighty better hull that makes no changes in the vehicles performance since it is AA even when used against other ground vehicles. Both should be same br.
The problem is you dont have ANY Air to Air pulmonary besides your mediocre guns. The only thing it as good is, is base bombing where it still gets outclassed at its own BR by the Italian F104’s. I feel that moving it up creates the possibility of it fighting all aspect IR missiles while not having any weapons to fire back
TRB HQ17 11.3->11.7 anti-aircraft gun is slightly weaker than Pantsir, it will be a well-deserved brigade
TRB 2S6 Tunguska 10.7->11.0/11.3 missiles are not inferior to Pantsir in terms of overload, only the range of the missiles. Excellent radar that shows targets.
itpsv is too opressive against ground targets. it should go up infact to 9.0.
whats the point of rating it as an antiair, when its not used as such?
itpsv has twice the ground kills compared to its air kills.
While TKX (P)’s composite armor is thicker than Type 90’s, its coverage is smaller, with the hull and turret lacking the extensive composite protection of Type 90. Defensively, it’s a mixed bag, arguably slightly inferior. Mobility-wise, Type 90’s power-to-weight ratio is 30, compared to TKX (P)’s 27, making it less agile in acceleration and turning.
TKX (P)’s only edge over Type 90 is its high-definition thermal imaging. Otherwise, it lags in mobility and protection, with identical firepower. Keeping TKX (P) at 11.3 offers players two distinct playstyles: aggressive players can choose Type 90 for rushing and flanking, while conservative players can opt for TKX (P) for long-range sniping.
Raising TKX (P) to 11.7 not only severely hampers its playability but also disrupts Japan’s 11.3 ground lineup, significantly reducing the fun and viability of Japan’s near-top-tier roster. This could lead to fewer Japanese ground players and even hurt sales of the Type 90 (B) premium vehicle.
brother the type 90 is a lighter 2a4(in how it trades armor for speed) with a 4 second reload. The pt-16/t14 is literally a type 90 with extremely thin armor at 10.7, yet I don’t see anyone complain about the pt16 despite having the same reload.
I feel like they could just remove all of the AP and APDS (and APFSDS if they have it) belt from every SPAA and we would be better off as a whole. They really dont need to be good at AT work.
