Where are the changes for Sim? Red team in sim needs a huge help from 11.7 and above

I’ll preface this with the context that I enjoy IFVs, ATGM carriers, M551/M60A2, & doing dumb things like running HESH only, so play at lot of 8.0-9.0 which I personally feel is the most generally balanced area in game (Ground vs Air wise that is), & have not ground out Russia so have not played the AMD.
Personally I find the AMD not OP, but extremely annoying to fight. You see a lot of them at the BR, and combined with dodgy turret syncing, they no-sell a lot of the dumb things I like doing/playing.
I’m not really sure what to do about it though, as it’s more a combination of map design funnelling players into CQB engagements (and therefore reducing flanking options etc), and the sheer quantity of the things, (and well, the typical lack of team play). Increased cool-down on the APS maybe? Count an APS interception as enough of a hit to appear on the map? (not sure if that is done or not already tbh)
The T-55AM-1/AMD have been downright oppressive for the 8.0-8.7 bracket, the only reason not to move them up has been the comparative poor performance of 3BM25 above 9.0, otherwise them moving up is good. Them moving up and and the TURM III not moving is… hmm…

They’re oppressive against 7.7, sure, but so I literally every single other 8.7. AMX-30B2 BRENUS anyone?
You’re right about the Turm III. It should be 8.7 at minimum and should have been before this BR change.

AMX-30 gets thermals or something at like 8.7
Every single 8.7 MBT in the game has access to either APDS or APFSDS.
The ZTZ59D should be 8.7 realistically.
Im aware how it works in a downtier, as both having used it and fought against it.
As i said, to move the T55Amd1 and AM1 up we should have decompression.
Or is the T55AMD1 on par with an XM803?
(no its not)
Im sorry but if you’re not using the 3BM25 as a main round on the T55A or above then thats your issue.
The APFSDS is a substantially more reliable round.
Those same weak points become larger with APFSDS,APHE is no where near as good as darts, period.
or just use APFSDS and never have to worry ?
Object 435 at 8.7 is better.
same reload, 14,5 mm MG, better mobility, 115mm gun.
Shot Kal gimel is better. DM23, LRF, decent protection and great turret and hull traverse.
Im talking from experience, before the 2K was 10.0 it used to see the T55Am1, I also used to use it in a lineup with the turms.
The T55AM1 is not an efficient tank against 10.0s.
Again I refer to my other answer, APHE is a garbage round past 7.7
Chieftain mk10 is the heaviest one.
mk5 has 13.8 hp at which isnt even a whole ass 3 HP/T lower than it.
the T55s are not extremely mobile tanks.
im sorry but you are joking??
@MotorolaCRO have you seen this? the dudes saying hte TTS round doesnt matter comparing the t55 cause the T55 has APHE xD
at 9.0 you should not be touching APHE
Literally yes. The M60 has a better crew layout compared to the T55 as the T55 is a smaller tank.
How no? the T55 ammo is actively in the front of the tank.
If someone takes a max ammo rack sure.
What ? that makes no sense xD
What tank is my tank?
I actively use the merkavas, T72s, T64B (got talisman on it)
Shir 2
Its called decompression´
Was about to say, 9.3 BR dart, LRF, thermals, great platform, only drawback is no stab.
yet the T55 is the issue.
Turm III should be 8.7 and CLOVIS should be 8.3 min.
Thermals, LRF. think 7.1 second reload, and the same dart as teh amx30 super
It also doesn’t have a gun stabiliser at 8.7
kinda funny it was brought up at all

Also APFSDS, laser rangefinder, ERA and an APS. It’s a 9.3 tank minus a stabilizer.

anything at 8.7 with a laser, stab & decent apfsds, but doesnt have any fatal flaws should automatically go to 9.0.
for example, if the 8.7 shot had the same poor mobility as the earlier centurions it would be fine stay at 8.7, but it doesnt, so i think it should go up.

in the end its how much you value a stabilizer, i personally think its worth a whole 1.0 br for that type of a vehicle.
brenus isnt that opressive, its armor isnt strong enough to bounce anything else but heat reliably and it doesnt have a reaction advantage like one would have with a stabilizer.
most 7.7 tanks dont really have a problem dealing with it.

That thing definitely needs to move up to 9.0 if AM-1 went up.

If it had a stab would be 9.3 easily.
Brenus is downright filthy at its BR.
Absolutely love it tbh
And when i use it most 7.7s struggle with it.
The 9.7s dont

I guess nothing matters when USSR tanks are being discussed.

So why should thr strv 103 go to 9.0 it shouden’t please if you think the same like the post linked below
Vehicle: ZTZ99A, WZ1001LCT, VT4A1
BR: no changes
Other changes: add Spall liners, reload time 7.1s→6.7s.
of course, 6.7s is a balance consideration. I always suggest improve autoloader mechanism, if change the type of ammo, reload time longer. if constantly reload the same type of ammo, reload time faster.
worst survivability and firepower made those 3 MBTs lack of tactic value, the difference of mobility in toptier is not that much.
