Didn’t you say that you play on console in a different thread? I would assume that it’s much more difficult to do a lot of things.
Pantsir intercepting agms is commonplace and there’s a lot of videos that back it up.
There’s bug where it doesn’t show on thermals and it completely disappears after some 4-5km (I think)
They are the most common in game and the deadliest of all CAS aircraft. Lets not pretend that it isn’t. The ADATS suck in general when it comes to defending against agms but most of them, you can hide behind cover. It’s difficult to do that when a agm is going mach jesus
Because it’s the only top tier spaa for america??? It’s better to have it than not.
You gotta invest your time in other nations. It really shows with the stuff you say. And no, just because you have event/prem vehicles doesn’t mean you get the full experience.
You are correct, I play on console with a controller. Lending a significant advantage to any and all M&K users. And there’s plenty more like me.
Consoles have always have the biggest disadvantages when it comes to WT…
(And even then I’m still a very good player).
And what do you mean invest my time in other nations…?
I have top tier: USA, Germany, Russia, Italy.
Almost top: France, Sweden, Britain.
If we aren’t counting premiums I have purchased / people bought for me.
But what does any of that have to do with battle ratings?
Getting nukes is not exactly a indicator of a tank being overpowered, I got several nukes in the various low tier vehicles, And frequently slaughter teams at 6.7-7.7 with the rocket BT-5, That doesn’t mean they should go to high tier.
Any tank can get nukes if the enemy you are fighting is stupid.
Without APDS it cant even pen some light vehicles, HVAP is comically bad right now to the point a .50 cal has more pen on high angles.
Unless it also got classed as an SPAA and lowered in BR removing its APDS would make the vehicle completely useless for anything that isn’t scouting or shooting clueless CAS players.
I used a PS3 controller with my keyboard for a couple weeks when my mouse broke. It barely effected my gameplay outside of free-looking which became harder, and helicopters due to the extra needed keybinds.
Actually aiming is just as easy if you spend a little time configuring your axis (something Warthunder has very good support for).
Your top tier lineup for US is filled with either event/premium. the HSTVL is the only outlier. You don’t have the ADATS, you rarely spend any time with the apache, and the only CAS you have is the F-15E (unless you just got those vehicles).
Germany you only have the 2A4 with an event vehicle aircraft. Italy is the only nation that you have a top tier TT vehicle (only ground, no heli or plane).
This in itself isn’t wrong and I don’t judge people who play this way. It becomes a problem when they start advocating for change for the vehicles they have no experience in.
It has a lot to do with the BR because your views on these vehicles effect the BR changes you propose.
the only gps guided bomb that poses a threat to the pantsir is the gbu-39s because of it’s quantity. Anything else is quite easy to counter because of it’s low quantity. Even then IRST helps distinguish between agms and bombs. It just takes practice to use that technique effectively
For the vehicles you say I haven’t played, apart from the spaa mostly, I have them all researched and purchased. I just haven’t played all of them. But every abrams plays the same tbh.
Can’t wait to play the 120S but my buddies are researching different things all over, so we keep skipping up and down all over the trees.
I have merely advocated for the vehicles I have played, hence why other suggestions from other players are highlighted and underlined.
And hell no I haven’t done italys heli tree! The first helicopter is aids. Worst in the game by far
It is an indicator though, when multiple players are getting nukes and we see content creators getting nukes using the Xm800t. There is a big difference between the efficacy of a BT-5 and Xm800t.
It is in game imbalanced, removing APDS would require an HVAP rework (nerfed thanks to how lethal Kugels and Wirbels were) 11 kills in a light vehicle is a sign it is broken.
Light vehicles should be support assets and carrying games like the Xm800t regularly does.
I feel like a low K/d player getting a high kd with a vehicle is a good indicator.
Content creators seem to have preferential matchmaking or similar oddities.
They also only upload good matches tbh
I saw the reason the xm is op, is just like the fox, it can flank the whole enemy team before they know what has occurred, and do mass damage, then flee
