Likely, but i’d rather have them, since they’ve been nerfed to guiding a max amount of two at a time (and tbf, this is more’so that when the first one is in its terminal phase of basically impacting the target, that you get to fire the second), rather than unlimited like some years back.
Of course, still much better than the current LMURs and JAGM-IRs.
LMURs which have perfect top-down approach (try to hide behind a very big and tall rock / tall wall, you’ll still be perfectly and perpendicularly hit from the top)
NATO has :
Spikes and PARS which literally go anywhere but onto the target (what’s up with that ? heli Spikes/PARS literally hit 50 meters in front/behind/next to the target, go up in the sky and hit the moon, … I mean why ?)
JAGMs which are just as bad and need 2-4 missiles to destroy a russian MBT/SPAA
When I play my Ka-50, I can guide only 2, and if i send out the 2nd one out too early, the first one losses the “lock” and just falls out of the sky so idk.
I kind of forgot they actually gave the Z-10ME it’s good missile. My memory usually default to Z-10ME when it only had it’s garbage HE ATGM.
In that case the ZTZ99A/WZ1001/VT-4A1 must be truely bad vehicles, if the chinese players are supposedly better than average can only get those stats in it.
Or we can just give the Abrams the credit it deserves and admit that it’s among the best MBTs in game, only really behind the 2A7s/122s.
(I do agree though that Chinese players are better than US players on average)
Happens all the time to me too. Either he has a couple of alts reporting or he has a fanclub that can’t handle him being called out.
While it has same reload that T-90M has its mobility saves it skin a lot.
Due to having same reverse capabilities that NATO tanks has it can get out sticky situations pretty fast.
Abrams was always good no matter what people claimed, its just that some people hyping too much while completely neglecting its actual problems so naturally people who are not use to overcome these weaknesses complains.
Both side are actually right on certain aspect so saying “muh its trash” or “muh its perfect and doesnt need anything” are both false claims (I know you express Abrams problems usually, I’m talking about certain people).
ODL from time to time is fine, we all have a frustrating day and a team half dead in the first 2 minutes where we already know where the game is going
I’m the kind of fool that first spawns AA and therefore has a lot of time to just observe the match when no air target is around. I can make 3 observations :
3-4 people ODL in early stages in the match will usually lead to a loss on the rest of the match, especially if the enemy team does not die / respawns. If the person ODLing had some skills it’s even worse, because that one player had more leverage on the match result compared to the avg joe. Take BMD4 nuke rushers for example : you have one skilled guy gone in 1 minute if his rush fails instead of him respawning and helping the team.
people respawning but never taking into account someone having been pinged 10 times on the map, therefore giving him a free nuke
while i play early AA, 2 thing can happen :
either the enemy team spawns scout drones or early helis. In this case my first spawn is not in vain : i make them lose a lot of SP and deny their ability to scout from the sky
if they don’t spawn any air, then my absence on the battlefield can still be felt, even if i’m only one person
All that to say that yes, consistantly ODLing will have an impact on your WR, partially because 1/16 of your team gone in the first few minutes has already an impact, but also because you are not the only one doing it.
Another Russia Thunder moment where a russian side armor + autoloader eat a whole DART and the spalls with it as if it was nothing, leaving behind only a red + yellow ammunition (cool).
And no, it’s not a HEAT shell.
Never ever happens with NATO MBTs (they would be crippled to death if not dead in 1 shot already).
I would’ve been fine if this was the only case with Russia.
This particular feature itself doesn’t cause the main issue but combining this with BMPT,SM-Sv,LMURS performance/quantity and fictional KH-38MT’s are the main reason why Russia is such dominant at top tier.
