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
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
Keep in mind that the SEPv2 only got the 5 second reload because the 2A7V stomped it into the ground so hard. When both released the SEPv2 was simply a worse 2A7 in every way.
If they had released the SEPv3 alongside the 2A7V the Abrams likely wouldn’t have gotten (or needed) the reload buff, still making it balanced.
Expert reload still makes it 5.3 seconds vs 6.3-6.4 seconds of the Leo 2s so yes that is still a full second faster.
The SEPv2 with a 6 second ace reload like it used to be absolutely got stomped by the 2A7V. It was so hilariously worse it wasn’t even funny. It didn’t have a single useful advantage over the 2A7V.
The 5-5.3 second reload is the only thing keeping the Abrams stats up.
I don’t know, I think abrams has a very steep learning curve compared to LEOs. LEOs in game have the easiest time compared to all other nations and it still performs okay. A reload does help but I don’t think it’s a big game changer and even expert crew is expensive and tedious at top tier.
From those none, but even so if we look at the type 10/tkx that also only has reload of the abrams it performs a lot better because most who use it already have the learning curve down.
To me the leo is the best beginner friendly tank compared to any nation. You get everything and the Abrams isn’t that.
