I mean, I’ve played the PUMA a lot myself. I do wish it were better.
Unfortunately all I can do is sit and wait.
I’ve had abrams sideskirts absorb apds shells from my BMPT like it was nothing a good couple times.
Really confused me the first time I encountered that
really love in close rannge all time i die because the russian wonderfull barreal and breaach wgen get shot multiple time get 0 damage… but bmpt destoru u barrel with 2 30mm shot really realistic…
A easy thing point is that ta genuine difficult to fond problems with how russian top tier tanks are currently implemented (that are making it worse that is), sure theyre mediocre tanks but its not like they can be any better(there small upgrades but theyre different models), i would be surprised if there is a single non russian tank that doesnt have glaring issues limiting its perfomance(chinese included). Nothing short of giving t90m a fake transmission or even more dubious survivability can make it better, 3bm59 wouldnt be a relevant upgrade, arena-m is niche and currently aps is saved for the worst top tier tanks that can get it.
I just don’t want facing Russian MBTs to become too easy. I already have a 3 K/D in my M1A2T without much effort, so nerfing Russian MBTs would probably increase that even more.
Pantsir-S1 belongs at 12.7 due to a still extremely strong kit. It retains 20km missiles that reach max speeds of 1300 m/s extremely fast, can intercept 4 munitions at once with the search TWS on a ESA track K band radar–which many aircraft can’t detect–that highlights dozens of targets making it great for the heli spam meta, can pick up very low flying targets if the radar is set to 30 degrees, and still has a high missile count for an SPAA.
It’s still a bit too strong as just a 14.3. Compare it to the F-18E at 14.3 which are almost identical with each other in their radar and missile count but the engine performance on the Su-30SM beats the F-18E significantly and the R-77-1 is a significantly better missile for these slower aircraft
Maus was removed from the German Tech tree for being “hard to balance” by Gaijin’s own statement, I don’t see why this can’t be the same case. Also the tech tree BMPT’s problem specifically is that it has a 5 man crew that are significantly spaced apart with spall liners and double stacked overperforming Relikt ERA that eats side darts for breakfast
Do you honestly believe the F-15C GE is on par with the Su-30SM?
The Su-30SM2 is significantly better than the Rafale by a wide margin and I’m tired of people pretending these two aircraft are even close or that the Su-30SM2 is worse; the Su-30SM2 is the best jet currently playable in Air RB and undoubtably in Air SB.
The Su-30SM2 can do BVR the Rafale cannot, the Su-30SM2 can shoot it’s missiles while notching the Rafale cannot, The Su-30SM2 can use are maximum of 14 missiles the Rafale cannot. The MICA-EM is better than the R-77-1 in 20km but that’s assuming the Rafale even made it to 20km with the Su-30SM2 Iron doming incoming MICAs while pushing closer to the Rafale that is forced to constantly play defensively.
Yes. It matches or exceeds the Su-30SM in most categories
There is also a reason why the F-15C GE has almost double the K/D and K/S of the Su-30SM last month. And no, that reason is not because US mains are better at the game.
Oh I fully agree. The post I replied to initially called the Su-30SM a bit too strong for 14.3 and implied that the 15C GE is worse than it, but imo you can’t move the Su-30SM to 14.7 while leaving the F-15C GE at 14.3.
Either keep both at 14.3 (and move the J-15T down, please help that thing) or move both to 14.7 (seeing as the J-15T is already there).
Oh im absolutetly aware why Gaijin uses selective realism like that its just that i think using selective realism to balance the game in this way will lead to massive problems later on. And additionally if Gaijin is using selective realism as a standard balance measure then they could at least extend that courtesy to all tech trees and not just their favourite one.
Id also like for them to just play with an open hand and straight up say that they have to artificially buff russian equipment so its competetive just to see the rusmains cope and seethe.
