i want to address that the leo series of tanks have a major flaw which i dont believe is true
The problem is that when the leo 2s are hit directly into the barrel of the gun it creates a godly amount of spall and im unsure if this is actually accurate
you know this isnt an issue with just the leopards right?
its just that high BR apfsds causes a lot of spalling, it happens to every tank, as long as you use a high br apfsds round
Why would you ever go for barrel front aspect like this when you could just go for breach which won’t screw you over via volumetric hell half the time like barrel shots do?
Going for barrel shots like these when its not 90 degrees to you no matter what nations it is, is asking to get snailed.
Sometimes you need to turn your turret so fast its called a reflex shot, but the barrel literally isn’t even turned yellow, i’ve noticed it happening just against Russian tanks its like their barrels are blessed by Stalin.
IDK thats just a panic shot or whatever you want to call it not panning out. Playing germany again right now and for me its chinese tanks with mao blessed turret breaches that are pissing me off, the al khalid causing me a ton of pain atm. I search forums and don’t see anyone complaining about it, so its probably just small sample size/anecdotical bias on my end which I think is the case for most people against Russia stuff. I play late night NA and our servers are full of Chinese playing their tanks so I run into it more often than most I imagine.
I also think if Israel had 10x the player base the forums would probably be crying about merkava a lot. I think most people here that only play 1 nation play US, and the most common enemy they run into is Russian stuff and they just put their frustration into that.
