Id rather it not be a t55a at 8.7 thats what it is. Its not equal to the T55 AM 1
I will come in with a Japanese stereotype and say that nearly every time I see some body with a Japanese name they are kicking ass big time and near the top of the leader-board.I look to see if and how they were cheating on the replay from a number of views and just see that they were simply playing a fine game and had done their homework on where to move and where to shoot.
I find the same with Chinese names ,I apologise if I cant tell Chinese from Korean etc )
All I can do is see the names in Japanese of who I am playing against and up my game a bit.If its a squad I know I am in trouble.That is just experience and they don’t have much of a line do they really? I don’t think anybody can accuse the Japanese of being traditional complainers either in the game or outside of it : )
Japan is solid, 6.7 is kinda meh and below 2.7 is rough but its pretty good, just lacks lineups
The gun isnt half bad, given its a L/48- though at 5.0 it would be awesome alongside the DT. The T-55M is fine at 8.7 due to M1000A1, which is far better then early soviet APFSDS.
They literally try to say the F-104 is OP, but the T-2 is overtiered XD
J34 is just Hunter F.1 with AIM-9Bs and bit better engine but, almost nothing difference including meta and playstyle.
Finnish Vampire is literally same as Italian one.
Ar 196 A-5 is almost same as German one except gunner iirc.
Didn’t know my Hurricane and Bf 109 G-2, Bf 109 G-6, MiG-21bis are “unique”!
Again maybe it me but i prefer the more armor and engine uograde over one round besides im still using aphe for the most part since its a literal nuke shell and few peeps have real armor aside from a few specifc tonks.
G-6 is kinda? The germans have the Trop version which is slightly worse iirc. Id say its copy.paste but Alvis would argue otherwise
T-2 kinda is. Its more that 9.x is compressed to hell. Stuff like the swiss hunter and av8 have CM and similar missiles at the same BR in exchange for mobility. Regardless flares are more useful than the mobility of the T2
I only had Japan up to 2BR and it was hell as I expected. I bought the Chi-Nu II Premium and played it on it’s own and it was so much fun.
I soon got up to 4BR with the other stuff.
I don’t mind playing a small tech tree. I only had the Israeli M51 for so long on its own with nothing to support it but it came with multiple lives.Had fun with that. Played it four times a game or whatever they gave you.No problem.
G-6 is technically unique due to being the G-6 Erla.
The real finnish air line
Spoiler
As one of Japanese, they don’t complain because most Japanese people doesn’t understand English well.
Also, I see peoples who has Japanese name but, most of them are Chinese.
If we speak same language, team chat and all chat would be mess even more lmao
Sad thing is finland has a decent amount of aircraft it could have- like this one
Though it is… not well armed. (Dies in only having two 7.5mm MGs)
Doesn’t stop gaijin from adding vehicles that never got weapons or from.giving them fictional stats. Cough cough p59A ect ect
They both suck in uptiers, but in downtiers the T-2 is far worse to deal with as it has far better missiles and better turning. One of the main balancing factor with the F-104 was its bad missiles. Both F-104 and T-2 get pseudo flares, FFARs, which can render R-60Ms and Aim-9Ls useless in headons with A-10s/Su-25s.
Either way, saying the F-104 is OP but not T-2 is just standard Japan main cope
IIRC, G-6/trop has same FM with regular G-6.
Erla model also has ofc
Id argue f104 is under BRed. Its 9.3 which means it seal clubs 8.3 vehicles. A smart 104 player will never have a hard time fighting in 8.x-9.x battles as they just BnZ. The T2 is like a baby 104 but cant keep up speed wise. Additionally they dont have speed to runaway from other fighter like the 104 can so i think they are fiarly comparable but the 104 gets better matches since the A is 9.3. Both should be 9.7 and 9.x should be decompressed more.
Ima dip for a bit cant wait to see what i come back too…
putting the F-104 at 9.7 with Aim-9Bs and no actual countermeasures would just ruin it. The only 8.3s that can’t reliably deal with an F-104 is F-84F and bombers.
I wish the Swedish B18B was a premium or there was a premium version. I don’t play AIR games much and I’m still using the B18A at 4BR.
Some OK fighters but lousy CAS
Japan and China also suffers with CAS at lower BR in terms of ground attack aircraft or low level bombers.
