The QN-506 has been heavily nerfed since its release. QN502CDD F&F Missiles
Penetration reduced from 1000mm to 900mm
A change added dispersion to missiles which had the side effect of causing the top attack missiles to occasionally bounce off turret roofs.
The missiles now have difficulty direct firing against targets at close range, instead of flying straight into targets, the missiles will weave over tanks and try to hit their engine exhaust (but never being able to), this can be easily reproduced in test drive.
QN201DD Laser Guided Missiles
Guidance capability has been reduced to only 1 missile at time
The infamous ATGM nerf has made the missiles wobbly after launch, often striking the ground in front of the vehicle or making it difficult to accurately hit a target at close-medium range as the missile attempts to adjust and level itself out.
The combination of the two above points makes it impossible to now spam the missiles (As was possible when the vehicle was released) even at close range, as firing more than 1 will cause them to lose guidance and strike the ground.
By comparison the same BR ZBD-04A is a far superior platform at actually killing vehicles as collaborated by vehicle statistics.
I really wouldn’t mind if it got R-73s, I don’t fly it but face it often and it’s not the boogeyman some people make it out to be, it’s pretty average honestly
this “light tank” is right now one of the most blatantly OP vehicles currently at its BR. it’s an more effective version of the Otomatic (smaller, similar rounds but at an entire BR lower while also having the ability to carry as many APFSDS darts as it wants). it’s almost a perfect light tank and it’s enjoyed two years of dominating all CAS/most MBTs/all light tanks even at 11.7+. it being 10.3 breaks the game as literally nobody gets a tank that comes close to it for universal lethality.
(and regularly facing it in 9.3 vehicles is just a travesty of fairness)
GRB is a hot mess right now when it comes to top tier CAS BRs and it makes little sense and wont without massive reworks. Like why would you ever use the Tornado Gr1 once you have the GR4 and neither stand much of a chance vs any mutlirole another nation might bring in and in a 12.0 line-up, there is no reason to use them when you have the Typhoon in a 12.0 line-up.
I’ve gotten BRs mixed up. I keep forgetting the Gr4 isnt a lower BR in GRB (probably should do a suggestion for that) . Yep, you would use it at 11.7. But not in a 12.0 line-up though.
so your only complaint is the guns? no offense but thats on you. some trigger discipline will help a lot. if you struggle with the t160s you can just play the f25 with .50 cals thats already at 8.3. I think the F-2 at 8.7 is totally fine, flight performance wise too
Tornado gr4
12.3 to 12.0 ARB
All vehicles the tornado is fighting at its BR vastly out power it in almost every way, this jet is terrible in ARB and needs to go lower
Then tell me what the AAM-3 EJ Kai in 13.0 is better than F-15A/J, MIG-29G, Su-33, Su-27, Mirage 4000?
Its FM or the quality/quantity of the missiles?
It seems like all the jets listed above are far superior, aren’t they?
Or do you think all those jets are considered “OP”?
Also, why can’t I see you complain about the Tornado F.3 Late that also has the same “OP” load-out moving to 13.0?
