Russian Autoloader buff is ridiculous

It’s more about the inconsistency that annoys me. One time you shoot the carousel and the turret gets send to the moon and the next time it can still turn its turret and shoot back.

I think the balance is overall ok, but gaijin really needs to fix the post pen damage.

+Fuel tanks are also annoying/inconsistent asf

atgm at take time to get there, that give you plenty of time to react and shoot.
also atgm cant be used in close combat of 30m, most of the time it will do nothing.

that just a skill issue tbh, weak spot og the front T-series is 30% or more, but sure complain more like something gonna happend.

again with that lol, your putting in it on me like i am the one who said it should be 10.3 or 10.7. grew up

I mean there is a reason theyre the highest skilled crews which you have to play a lot for or pay for
as opposed to autoloaders that are fixed numbers

A skilled loader can probably just as well load a shell at a good pace and at speed which is why they can in game

The guy talking about skill issue and throwing around similar things sitting at 0.5 K/D is kinda fun.

  1. it got nerfed and yet still can do very well, it can penetrate a lot of stuff easily even with just APDS belts from awkward angles. Half the autocannons at that br cant pen MBT’s from the front so that point just doesnt relate at all.

  2. ive yet to see anyone get obliterated by the spice bombs, and ive spent the last two days playing 13.0 USA to grind the blue angels camo. But i have saw time and time again KH38, which shouldnt be in the game in this state, continuously getting 5/6 kills every run.

  3. Everything that other countries got added in the last updates have not been op or broken the game. Yet BMPTS broke 9.3 to 10.3 with how broken it was ( im not an idiot i knew the weakspots of t series tanks yet they still were very inconsistent). They still have the best cas loadout in the KH38 and the LEMR’s (being the only fnf from helis with actual flight performance and lofting) and the higher survivability Russian tanks have with no basket and autoloader/BS ERA & spall liners that protect from ammo detonations at least 50% of the time while everything else gets killed or immobilised every shot that pens, so they didnt need anything new as they still have the overall best line-ups for ARB in the su30’s and ground.

Top Tier Russian / Chinese MBTs aren’t that meta to begin with – poor gun depression, reverse speed, reload, round etc…
At least now the T-80s have reloads on par (mostly still worse) than NATO counterparts.
T-90s and T-72s are still stuck with an abysmal 7.0s reload.
The Chinese MBTs got a nice buff from 7.1s to 6.7s for their most relevant top tier MBTs, though that’s still way below NATO or even Russian MBTs.

The only MBTs that I could see being problematic after these changes are the T-80UD and T-80B.

T-64A finally has something to offer at 9.3 (instead of being a direct downgrade to the T-72A),
T-64B got the 6.0s reload but got moved up to 10.0, which now has to compete with a less mobile but far more powerful Sabra Mk.1 and its gimicks.
T-80Us got a much needed buff, but they are still not as good as the Chally 2, Type 90, IPM1, and M1A1 in the most relevant aspects for surviving in the top tier environment.

The T-80BVM and T-84 are also better, but again, they aren’t overpowered after these changes.

Reminder T-80Bvm 3BM60 is at 6.4s of reload time because the 3Bm60 in the carousel can not be placed one after the other or something cant remember exactly(this is how its implemented in game and is realistic) so not really. T-80BVM technically didnt get any buffs in that sense, unless you use the 3Bm42 which can utilize it for 6.0s. (Which has much worse pen) (which brings me to my point if anyone is coping about this helping russia toptier is just being a joke at this point lol)

And any other toptier russian tanks(T72B3A/T90M) sit with 7.0s reload. So cant make much of an argument for them either

T58 needs to go to 8.7, HSTV-L is fine at 12.0. Somua could be 8.0 but I can’t say for sure.

You think AMX-50 Surbaissé is too good?
Trust me, it’s good but not that good.

Strv 104 is good but not that good either. The Magach 6B is better if you like that sort of vehicle.

Type 90 is fine at 11.7.
It used to be overpowered at 11.3, where it could face 10.3s like the TTD.

MSC got nerfed already, as it went from 10.7 to 11.0. It’s a better Leopard 2A4 for the most part but not that much better.

M1128 has an abysmal 7.5s reload.
The mobility buff and gun depression via suspension control is nice but it just made it decent from what was a mediocre 10.3 vehicle (that once was 10.0).

PT16 used to be 10.3, now 11.0. It’s fine at 11.0.

I agree with the rest of this, though.

the start card for 3BM60 says 8.3s 😐

holy moly that’s a nerf

Ah, thanks for letting me know. Yeah, that’s barely an improvement for the T-80BVM then.

Yup.

Thats wrong, its 6.4s for T-80BVM(3BM60) round.

must be affected by crew skills lol

That doesn’t seem right…

it’s the only thing I can think of

the other being my game version is 2.53.0.20 instead of 2.53.0.41 for some reason (even though the .41 changelog popped when I logged in)

All the green spots on the russian tanks are insta guarrantee spots, on nato tanks half the greens are a lie, cause hitting the upf of a leo or abrams will force a richote, and the abrams has internal composite to rickote off that isnt modeled on other tanks for some reason? Maybe bias

Not anywhere to russias extent, the only country to consistently hit past 100 player queue on all servers at once, and 3/4 of the players will be absolutley useless

Every time i have been penetrated by an enemy tank, heres what usually happens:

  1. Immediate ammorack
  2. Fuel Tanks explode
  3. Im crippled and autoloader is broken (alongside other components such as engine, driver, etc)

Unless you shoot poorly or have a low-spalling shell (or a Gaijin moment), its unlikely that a T-series tank can survive

Except that literally any hit disables our turret. And usually takes the engine… so you have a perfectly dead target just waiting for your next shell? The upper plate is tiny compared to T series, but the lower plate is massive, and plenty of spots on the turret face vs. The russians tiny spots.

Just doesnt seem like a fair comparison man. Have you played US top tier at all?

thats cope
