What shell it has is rather irrelevant, will probably be added with A2, or they’ll add new top tier shells to all nations and add it with A3s or maybe A4s. What wont happen is it being added with A4s in a vacuum
Challenger 2 LEP (what is refered to as the Challenger 3 TD in-game) only ever test fired DM63s and never used DM53s for example.
The ammunition is the only reason to add the SepV3 if not the game is just better of not bothering.
A3 won’t make a difference from A2. My opinion the SEPV2 was even a waste and they just recently gave it LWS but that’s an okay nice to have niche
It really depends on how gaijin implements sepv3. We know it has a next-generation armor package both in the turret and hull, it gets trophy aps, which would be nice considering all the F&F munitions that are being thrown around at top tier (sepv2 can also have trophy), and as you mention, it can get a3 to a4 rounds. Also it gets the low-profile crows seen on the m1a2T. Personally, I think Gaijin is going to botch the armor again, but we shall see, that’s if they even add it. At this rate, we will get 2a8 before Sepv3.
Based on the armor discussion, there’s really no point in adding the SEPv3. They’re going to say “its heavier but we don’t know why lets go make shyt up again” then decrease the speed anyways. APS isn’t worth having in the game unless it can deflect slinging LMURs, AGMs, etc. which it can’t. They might say A3 can penetrate russian ERA, A4 definitely will and penetrate any APS, knowing Gajin they’ll say A3 can’t for russias sake so what’s the point?
Just like the SEPV2, it’s a nice backup when your SEP or HC are out of battle.
EDIT: We know they’re going to botch it so it’s best to keep the game as is and fix what they have.
I mean, we got the proof on the armor with Sepv3. Plus trophy definitely can deflect AGMS as it does in-game. But yes I think they will still botch the armor. I’m just curious if they are going to straight-up deny that it got any armor upgrades.
One of the reasons for adding SEPV3 is the armor enhancement. After all, the tank received the new NERA armor.
there are not just russia, germany and USA in the game so wheres the other with rates.
this is about ground sim
I’m actually baffled that anyone is still playing (including myself but I’m just about done now) any other country but Russia at 10.7-12.7
How every match goes right now
BMPTs and T-80s rush forward, their troll (and outright broken in the BMPTs case) armour allow them to make early plays/pushes, T-80/72s flank/snipe hulldown with their strong turrets/tiny weakspots while BMPTs sit in unkillable hulldown positions or just hold W on smaller maps, breaking barrels, tracks and being a distraction or a murder machine (depending on BR)
First wave of NATO tanks are slaughtered or are having to sit so far back they’re simply not contributing, by now the RU team is sat comfortably controlling all objectives, their best in class SPAAs destroying anything that flies (Why do no NATO players spawn in choppers I wonder?)
Maybe the NATO team makes a comeback, you’ve fought off the huge amounts of very good MBTs and Lighter vehicles at this bracket off - but here comes the RU CAS and Helicopters which nukes the second wave of NATO spawns with their best in class air to ground missiles
What does the NATO team do now? spawn your (pretty poor at 10.7-11.7) SPAA to deal with the CAS? - now the tickets are coming down and the BMPTs are about to start spawn killing
Spawn more MBTs to try retake the objectives and keep them off spawn? - yummy SU-30/SU-25/KA-50 food
Spawn in your own CAS to push them off objectives and fight some enemy CAS? - Panstir says no you’re not allowed near the battlefield
Unless the NATO team spawns in a near perfect order, it all feels abit hopeless atm, combine that with 1 death leavers, its a very sad state of affairs
Apologies for the long rant, I’m quite frankly bored of playing now, I’m sure theres much to pick to bits about this verbal diarrhea, go ahead
Are higher BRs more balanced right now? I’m playing 11.7 Britain which is a struggle anyway - Is it better higher up where more competant NATO Aircraft exist? I’m looking at the two CR2s at 12.7 and thinking ‘what’s even the point in them’
This is why ive stopped playing ground not touched it, at any BR, since shortly after the BMPT was added, I just cant be bothered with it.
What little WT im playing is air at various different BRs and a little naval (though avoiding the Soviet Bias Soyuz)
It’s not about sim, it’s about players
According to any competent player. Remember you are not in position to give any opinion on how brackets balanced because you did not play them
Yeah, it’s not like I play against them and still fail to see how CAS greatly affect ground battles result providing statistics with most of jets not holding even 1.0 kd
Mind blowing, I know
I just really wish there was a topic with minimum requirements like “>55 wr, >1.5 kd”, so balance could be discussed without people finding excuses for their personal skill issues
What a ridiculous, stuck up statement
facts, like winrate and k/d can be such a variable thing. its fine to have a k/d around/below 1 and a wr below 50.
like i used to have a sub 30 win rate on redside because nato teams used to be so dominant in simulator matches
In the context of ground battles, you can have terrible win rate but still find a way to get positive KD in your battles, im consistently high 3K/D (personally i think K/S [kills per spawn] is more important as a stat but whatever) even when playing solo in nations / BR brackets where they find themselves losing more on average. So being negative K/D is telling that the player is rather simply not that good, which can influence how they view balance in a way that’s not very accurate to reality.
I.e, level 10 clickbait players shooting a BVM’s upper plate instead of anywhere else that could easily disable it, and many other examples.
Air is not my can of worms but maybe that’s different
