There are very little similarities beyond aesthetics between the type 90s and 2a4 (if that’s what you’re comparing), the reason the type 90 is so good is the autoloader paired with a janky damage model and suspension, they are signifigantly more likely to ‘eat a shot’ than a 2a4 due to spaced out components and the massive bustle AL.

Furthermore it’s significantly more mobile than the 2a4, so while they have a similar FCS, the only redeeming quality of the 2a4 is the gun handling.

Ask 99.9% of players and they’ll take the type 90 over a 2a4 in a fight, this is not even a question so complaining that theyre worthy of the same br is insanity

There is a mistake in the table: Yak-3U is stated to move from 6.3 to 6.7 in Ground RB while it is 6.0 in Ground RB currently. Is the intent to move it +0.7 BR or is it a typo?

1524

I didn’t said anything about same br, only about +0.3 or +0.6 br from 2a4

1525

Thats still an unreasonable amount, i suspect the shortfalls of the Type 90 are down to your map knowledge and playstyle, becayse the tank isn’t the issue

Which means said aircraft doesn’t need to be as capable of going into and out of a notch.

Which allows the F-15C GE to compensate for the worse airframe over euro

Airframe is not the biggest requirement for a top tier aircraft, as long as it can enter, leave a notch as well as not be a slow pos then you’re golden

Type 90 against top tanks and cas is definitely not my issue, 1 second reload speed difference doesn’t make it equal to 2a7, 90m and others

1528

Stupid argument because those tanks will be out of your matchmaker by the time these br changes come about

1529

br shouldnt affect vehicle cost(unless the vehicle gets moved around in the techtree)

I wouldn’t get so excited. while it is decompression this isn’t gaijin finally listening to the community. this is gaijin doing the bare MINIMUM they could do. 15.0 isnt enough. even 15.3 would have issues. where gaijin ought to throw us a bone they throw us scraps and we lay here content because scraps is all they’ve EVER given us. we as a community need to have higher standards if we want this game we love so much to succeed and truly thrive. Stop settling for less. Stop settling for scraps.

The only MBT that is flat out better than the Type 90 at 11.7 is the M1A1. Every other 11.7 MBT is either equal to or worse.

The Type 90 is not 0.3-0.7 BR better than the Type 90. The full BR difference is justified.

2-3 seconds*

The type 90 is not equal to the 2A7, which is why it’s a full BR below it.

Type 90 has a really good shot against the T-90M though.

and that is only thanks to abrams armor buffs

Why did the Kfir canard get moved up to 11.3. I don’t really understand that

1534

Only problem is that type never sees 11.7, 12.0 minimum, 12.3 almost all the time ant sometimes 12.7

1535

I’d also put the base challenger 2 up there due to top tier round, gen 2 thermals and without all the bulk of the TES kit, its actually somewhat mobile.

But yeah 11.7 is still the type 90/BMPT stomping ground and both can win matches if enough are present on either team

Once again, this will not matter in about a weeks time when these changes are implemented, balancing based around the matchmaker and not vehicle performance is stupid

its a really fast plane, nothing can really touch it.
maybe it performs too well at base bombing?

1538

And so your solution to that is to move the Type 90 to a BR where it’s horrifically overpowered?

1539

Just seems like he has fomo for when the type 90s were at 11.3

13.0 would still be better than type

1541

so type 90 at 12.7 is fine? i agree
