What do you not understand about balance between historical accuracy and game balance. Something in between, best of both worlds.
And what was so scary at 5.3, that Panzer 4 H couldn’t deal with, IS-1? Sure it’s worse than an IS-1, but it’s a full uptier.
Sounds like balancing stabbing someone with nonviolent conflict, not really something that mixes well.
Black and white are opposites, yet together they mix to make gray.
Something in between that would be slapping someone.
Which is still inherently violent.
Yeah, they mix, now swap black and white in your analogy for oil and water.
You think balance and realism are like oil and water, I think they are like black and white.
ISU-122, T-34-85, jumbo used to be there, etc.
There is no “think”. Historical matchups are inherently unbalanced, because each side is actively trying to outdo each other.
Ha-Go vs Sherman 💀
Panzer IV vs T-34-76, T-34-85 vs Panther, IS-1 vs Tiger I, Tiger II vs IS-2, Maus vs IS-4, Leopard 1 vs T-54/T-55A.
Where the compromise comes in is for example in the case of the Hetzer. It’s from 1944, but can sit at a similar BR as Panzer IV H.
That’s where you would make a compromise and make it fight some Stuarts. Not really historically inaccurate either.
For me br is fine as it is now
i swear this has devolved from a talk about the m-51’s status to a talk about realism in the game 💀
M-51 relative to IS-4 should be at 8.0.
Relative to T-54/T-55A or Leopard 1/AMX-30 it should be at 7.7.
Relative to T-55AMD-1 or T-55AM-1 it should be at 7.3.
Imo BRs should be decompressed in such a way, that:
IS-4 can stay at 7.7
M-51 can be higher than IS-4
M-51 can be lower than AMX-30 and T-54/T-55A
M-51 can’t meet T-55AMD-1.
The stance that I don’t have a meltdown when some shitbox pseudo-TD manages to get their gun on my T/KT and pen it? I’m proud of that stance. If I was unbeatable in my T/KT I’d be super bored.
Whaddabout TAMs??? Object 906s, IS-7s, Pvrbvs and the like?
Hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby.
i’m dying brub 😭
the sherman wouldn’t even need to use its main gun to turn the ha-go into a pile of ashes
Woah.
Next thing You are going to say is that earth is flat
Historical matchmaking players are so ridiculous lmao
imagine facing a T-55 in your M41
