And even bigger portion of the player base is performing awfully with 2S38, so I guess their sheer number is enough for Gaijin to listen to them, right ?
This is pretty much the case of 50-100 forum dwellers versus thousands of WT players that play said vehicle regularly, who you gonna believe ?

That said, thinking this forum contains a sizeable portion of the player base is naive at best.
Also, performing up to your account average (at best) in 2S38 all the while demanding it should go up makes little to no sense. If it was really that good it would drive itself, increasing your stats along the way.

reason: f5s do not need high caliber CMs, regular caliber are fine, having less flares than every other f5 with ALE-40 is a huge downgrade, keeping it at 60 is a fine amount

though hopefully some day they’ll massively nerf the F-5s by giving them an IR signature

i hope they do, i mean, they fixed the ir signature of the su25s, so one can dream (fix f5 and harrier heat signatures)

Thank you kind sir. I see it the same way and the reload buffs are pretty disgusting.

True, I love my 4.0 swedish lineup, that PVKV II is already a beast, you just hide in terrain, use your good optics + gun depression and snipe T-34s and KV1s as your gun can easily defeat their armor.

I just never liked it due to the horrid reload. I just love the pvkv3 tho. The one with the 3.2 second 57mm gun. Really fun little thing. Rn on my idk what level crew the pvkv2 has a 13 second reload which kills the fun for me. I will try to get back into it after they do the 4 second reload buff

Yeah she will be a beast now… they could maybe try a little buff first compared to this massive reload buff. That is the nice part of WT if one vehicle do not suits you you can always choose different one. :)

Sadly those 24 second reloads are too fast. Even 33,3 seconds is too generous for KV2s… it should be closer to 40-45 secs.
Anyway I still enjoy my T30 as I do in her equally good if not better compared to my T34 heavy tank so after this buff she will end up at 7.0 BR for sure… if not 7.3… T30 will be crazy OP with this unrealistic buff sadly…

bruh f104 is complete useless and spanked on air ab 9.7 especially when uptiered to aim9c f8e that you dont have any chances against on high alt, do you even play this game? and isnt it already 9.7? why britain got lightning which are → better and on 9.3, ussr has yaks 38 at 9.3 with r60? have you even noticed how us tree regarding jets is underpowered? why you want to make it even worse?

id love to have on 9.3 american f104 on arcade air battles as a spare plane to my av8a and upcoming f106a delta dart, and no, on 9.7 where there very good and reliable missiles are dealing the cards and countermeasures are stopping to be a luxury, high performance, aim9b and vulcans are nothing compared to 18g, 20g or even 30g missiles that flies there dense (edit) i just understood ARB means Air Realistic Battles, but i mean in Air Arcade Battles, but, even still, on air ab f104a and f104c completely dont make any sense

Brother, if i can play the F-104s.ASA at 12.0 you can manage against… 9c of all things? Say you have a skill issue without saying you have a skill issue lol.

Oh, u play arcade? I tried it once, i thought better of myself than to play it again.

i mean F-104A and F-104C which are both on 9.7 in us tree in AAB, on the same br is F8U-2 which has much more dangerous missiles and is also supersonic, but i’d love to the f104a and c variant to make any sense of use them, their aim9b on 9.7 are a bad joke, and high performance is kind of useless when good missiles are flying everywhere add to that you dont have any cm to counter that, remember, in british tree there is lightning on 9.3 with much better red top missiles and performs similarly in terms of performance, climb ratio etc. it has even smaller turn radius and in ussr is Yak-38 which has 30G R-60 missiles and also good perfomance just no countermeasures, also on 9.3 they all exceed F104A and F104C but are… 0.3 lower, does it makes sense?

Unreal that the strike eagles aren’t going up to 14.3, why on Earth do they need to stay at 14.0? Increase the BR of the F-15E/I to 14.3.

im curious how you counter AIM-9C SARH 18G missile on a → HEADON with a plane that has no countermeasures good luck with it

Ehh, its just as capable and comparable as the HSTV-L and Puma but only those get moved up. It should have gone up when its first stage ammo was expanded to include every round in the thing.

Also dont assume I just mean people on the forum and only on the forum. A lot of people outside this place have made similiar calls.

Just curious when this is going to get closed and reviewed, contemplating adding a couple more vehicles but not sure on it.

Do they need to go up because of the C-5s? I thought, at least according to the EU fanboys, the Typhoon/Rafale/Eurofighters are/were king?

Vehicle: Challenger 3 (TD)
Gamemode: All
Change: Reduce reload to 5 seconds
Reason: The Challenger 3 (TD) should be a Glass Canon version of the Challenger 2s, but due to its lower RoF, it is downgrade over the Challenger 2s even in this regard. Increasing its reload rate would make it a meaningful and worthwhile addition to a line-up and give some reason to actually play it over the Challenger 2s. Comprable tanks such as the Ariete and Abrams recieved 5 second reloads with similar shells and both have traits that put them above the Challenger 3 (TD) in terms of survivability and/or mobility.
