Maneuver. The power-to-weight ratio is only 17.33, and the top speed is only 55 kilometers per hour, which makes the transition ability very poor. Compared with other Cold War tanks, it is difficult to keep up with the pace of large forces
Miscellaneous. The reverse speed is only 7.8 km/h, and it is difficult to retreat to cover. The speed of the steering machine is only 18 degrees per second at full level, which is difficult to cope with multiple targets. The high and low planes are only five degrees per second, and the depression angle is only negative five degrees, making it difficult to fight in mountainous terrain with complex terrain. The vehicle’s gunscope is only seven times larger, making it impossible to fight from a distance.
Protection. The side of the PTZ89 can be easily pierced by a .50 heavy machine gun. Light tanks and anti-aircraft vehicles of the same weight can easily penetrate its front. The ability to protect is very worrying.
Firepower. This is the only advantage of PTZ89, but the weight is removed from 9.0, and this advantage will no longer exist, because the penetration depth of the 9.3 weight T72A 3BM22 is also very good, and the 9.0 PTZ89 will be useless.
Pantsir-S1 Ground RB 11.7 to 12.3
This SPAA just outperformed all of its counterparts, only top tier jets like F16C can engage with it.
Since 10.3 RB tanks will move to 10.7, meaning the chance to encounter Pantsir-S1 have greatly increased
I wont deny the chieftains are amazing, i got multiple nukes in the chieftains just last week. My point being i could have done just as well if not better using a t55am due to it having a lrf and, in a downtier, its basically imune to most apds rounds due to gaijins “spaced” armour fuckery where having more than one layer of armour will make it vaporise (even the ferdinands 2 layers of 100mm will stop the conqs cannon.
Its not like i cant deal with it in my tornado or something, even the buccaneer. The main problem is any switched on pantsir will just shoot your guided munition out of the air and then kill you. So can any other spaa but the pantsir gets a cannon and 12 missiles which is far more than any other spaa at its br so it can just do this for much longer. It has more missiles than i do bombs on the tornado let alone most jets apart from american jets with the ability to carry 6 mavericks along side at least 2 gbus.
Ground RB, ZSL92. 6.3 → 7.3. The ZSL92 doesn’t work as SPAA, the low ammo, low cannon elevation and large silhouette makes it very bad for the SPAA class, it should reclassified as a Light tank and receive its APDS belt. The ZSL92 is a chinese BTR-80A equivalent.
The viggens radar is actually really good but I see the Norwegian f-16 actually being a premium if that was true but idk and yeah the j-35xs is still way to high even with the change.
@Stona_WT sorry for the ping but i really need to ask is there any plan to change premium AMX br in Air Rb ! it does not get any IRCCM missiles and subsonic but it faces jets with IRCCM and radar missile !
also leclarc badly need a new APFSDS as current apfsds sucks
Air SB , JH-7A . 12.3> 11.7. Reasoning: is a ground attack aircraft, and does not have BVR armament, making it completely unusable as a ground attack because in this br (12.3) it is impossible to carry out this type of mission against aircraft focused on BVR combat and if you try to use it as fighter It is at an extreme disadvantage without short combats, which is something that almost never happens, it has a good rate curve, but many planes in 11.3/11.7 would be able to get into a dogfight against the JH-7A and win.
GRB HSTV-L 11.3 >11.3 Not many people use it and overage KD less then one BUT ITs RECON HELPs US TEAM A LOT! Without it US almost blind (u ever play with click-bait?) I really think kiddo deserve to stay at 11.3
Air RB, F104 asa. 12.0 > 11.3/11.7. It has 4 9ls and a vulcan or 2 9ls + 2 aspides with an mti radar but no vulcan. This gives it hgih lethality against 1 or 2 targets while still facing jets with on par or better missiles and, most of the time, better radars. This basically makes it a yack 38 of its br with its terrible fm but decent missiles. This is why it would suit 11.3 or 11.7 as at these brs it wont face anything without flares or rwr apart from a scarce few, and it would still be at a disadvantage in the bvr due to its own shoddy rwr.
Also worth mentioning the fact it only has 60 CMs. So its below the average for CM count at that BR as well. Also leaves you fairly vulnerable to Fox-3s, which are also likely your main threat in an uptier.
GRB Stormer AD 10.0 to 9.3. It’s currently the same BR as the LAV-AD without the performance, or ability to mount ground missiles. It is much more comparable to the Machbet (albeit with a rangefinder.)
Also would fill the need for an AD vehicle for the UK between the 8.3 Marksman and the 10.3 Stormer instead of a .3 gap @10.0 where most of the vehicles are already fighting the same opponents.
Air SB , J11 , 13.3 > 13.0 Reasoning: for the same reason that they are going to 13.0 in realistic matches, the confrontation against aircraft with ARH missiles is extremely complicated in SB mode when you use an aircraft with SARH weapons, giving an extreme disadvantage and unbalance, even reducing the number of players in certain nations because they know that they will only be easily destroyed if they try to play.
People think the rwrs like the one on the mig21, im not even kidding the rwr tells you if your locked or not. That is it. No direction nothing, only if your being locked, not even sure it has launch detection, although i think it could or should as irl it has maws. But that may be the m variant.
