Literally first game trying the new reload on the T-80U-E1, no prior warmup.
5 frags W/T-80U-E1
1 W/T-90M
Maybe it is time to give them a go with the new reload times before jumping to such bold assumptions. Not everyone gets expert crews to outreload you, let alone aced.
And so the terminator situation wasn’t problematic, hence why Gaijin didn’t moved them to 10.7 and didn’t stated they could potentially move them further up if the performance wasn’t good enough. /s
The BMPT situation was actually problematic. But all I’m seeing here is a single screenshot of a 6 kill game with a 12.0-12.7 MBT lineup, which doesn’t mean much.
Sure, the T-72/T-90s buff was practically worthless, but I repeat, give the T-80s a go, even uptier’d with 3BM46/60. They were not suffering before this buff, and they’re certainly going to be among the best.
Seems like not even my only wish with this change will be fulfilled, then people has the guts to make fun of other mains much more easily.
I know the feeling.
Ive got the whole 8.3-8.7 tanks free aced, but god did i not enjoy the chieftans that much. I mean i had fun, i have a pretty respectable kd in the mk5 i think nearly 1000 kills to 170 or 180 deaths. But it was playing it “correctly”. The roikat mk1 and the za35 although i have alot of kills i have significantly worse kd and thats because i love being aggressive and fast. They alow it, the chieftan does not.
Funny enough the m60a3 rise is my favourite because of this fact too, sure its not fast, but you can be aggresive. that alongside ess+thermals makes it one of my favourite pattons. (i wish i had the italian m60a1 before they removed it from sales and reintroduced it without a stabiliser)
Before this change, the T-80BVM was the only really behind the Abrams and the L2A7V/122s.
Now, the whole T-80 series (except the T-80B) will be easily behind just the top Abrams and Leos, the only considerable nuance will be their reverse speed, which the T-80BVM will still be the first immediate competitor to those MBTs, even with 3BM60.
So yeah, that’s downplaying an entire tank series.
And please, just stop with this oversimplification. You’re better than this.
I mean the bvm buff was not that large at the end of the day, afterall the apfsds keeps more or less the same reload which is the round that it is used the most
I mean before the change you could make a case to put the Leclercs or maybe the type 10s above the BVM, but you would need to make it a really good argument.
Now after the change? Yeah I agree. It’s still possible to make that argument, just very very hard.
