Its crazy how renzo changed the goal posts from win rate to impact the second you pointed out you were crushing with the new t90.
It’s almost like the win rate of a power couple of buds all going and playing the same tank together might have a greater force multiplier than the tank itself.
… and that has more of an impact on win rate thab the tank lol. Hence why I point out that any folks who properly use statistics remove the outliers - the best and worst performers. It’s also why balancing should be done based off of the largest part of the player base… the average fella thats in the core bell curve instead of the gigachad bros who compulsively play as a group.
Absolutely true but then Gaijin should be transparent and open with that and not deny valid bug reports or keep them in the ”accepted“ purgatory for years just because some tech trees have issue getting top tier worthy equipment.
Oh I 10000% agree with you on that. They try to do both, and arguably fail at both. They just need to pick a lane and stick with that.
I also hate the whole “we believe/don’t believe” thing. If something is stated to be improved in a document that meets the standards for sources then there is not much to believe or not. This also feels like another excuse that they used to mask a balance decision imo.
Same thing they keep F4S with 6x Aim7-Fs while they refuse to give F4 - FGR.2 the Aim9L explaining Aim9L would make F4.FGR.2 too powerful for 12.0
Meanwhile, they match FGR.2 to faceoff with SU27,33,J11,F18,F16,KfirC10
The audacity…to post the BR balancing post without fixing the issues.
F4S still is the RP/SL printing because of the pampering.
The issue isn’t that the game takes liberties for balance. It’s that the game isn’t “balanced.” For as long as modern top-tier has been a thing, the ground rb meta has been Vihkrs, KH-38MT’s, and LMURs. And Russia has its best SEAD missiles and best SPAAs.
Additionally, Gaijin outright rejects changes that would provide better balance on the basis that certain things, like hull armor, are not balancing mechanics, but other things, like reload speed and munitions, are balance mechanics. This favors nations that favored armor (of which there are few) over nations which prioritized munitions (of which there are many). Go figure, the Obj 292 still got its nuts protype mega round -still the best in the game and sitting at 10.7-but NATO tanks arent allowed to have their top munitions because it would mean Russia would no longer be in the contest to be the best top tier nation in the game, despite having a BR system which would still accomodate Russian vehicles at lower BRs.
They still wont give the HSTVL its best round even though it cant even reliably pen the side era of soviet vehicles. But the BMPT is allowed to obliterate everything frontally.
“Balance” is just a way to say that modern russian vehicles should be allowed to have all of their strengths (even ficticious ones) so that they can be the best, and NATO nations get handicapped. Quite an odd choice given historical matchmaking is no longer a thing.
It sits at 10.7 because it’s okay-mediocre in every regard besides armor and penetration/post pen (since those go hand in hand).
Because NATO MBTs like the Abrams and uparmored Leo 2s are already better than the T-80BVM and T-90M by a considerable margin. Russian hasn’t been in the contest of the best top tier MBTs for years now.
Because the BR system is flawed for top tier. Unless you make a fixed SEPv3/2A7 with their absolutely best ammo a full 1.0 higher than the T-80BVM/T-90M absolutely nothing will change by moving them up in BR.
I like how this is a purely hypothetical in-game advantage for the US and it throws RU mains into hysterics, like they werent allowed to bully everyone for years with KA-50s, KH-38MTs, Pantsirs, and the T-80BVM when that thing got added. We are still under the reign of the BMPTs, so I am not sympathetic at all to hypothetical soviet misery.
The uparmored leo 2s especially have a lower skill floor and a higher skill ceiling than the BVM.
The Abrams is debatable. I would agree that the BVM has a slightly lower skill floor, but people have a tendency to pretend that the Abrams has a higher skill ceiling than it has in reality to make them feel better about themselfs.
Idk, in the SEPv3 they are mostly just easy snacks at this point.
Real demonic middle of the road average stats for 11.7 they’ve got going on, infact the winrate is below average for the premium one, but it’s trash so that’s to be expected
