In this type of terrains especially NATO mbt is on higher ground that only the turret exposed for both tanks, the t-series easily get f over as the NATO usually has access to the dome and it get the breech first so its game over for t-series.
I’m too lazy to search for the replay of challenger 2 as it is one of the biggest offender due to the turret shape and protection, while you in a t series you get your breech shot out before you even see their barrel, I show you something like this always happen (using a non-NATO mbt but they have the same feature)
You can reliably solo t-series this way and they have little to no fighting chance, do it enough that you see a lone t-series in the wild you will start disrespecting them like they are a non-threat. Only thing that couldn’t do this is the merkavas 4 as it has Rihanna’s fivehead that exposed too early and getting shot there will result in breech damage and often OHKO.
Leopard 2’s dome is almost flat, even when they exposed the tiny bit forehead for you to shoot it will result in auto bounce. Remember, they are fighting the enemies, the reverse speed, ability to lowers the gun altogether and not to mention the terrain patterns is also one of their sworn enemy lol
Can’t really emphasize this enough until these NATO mains played the vehicles themself.
Not sure if this qualifies for being “Russian Bias”:
This is an enemy Yak-3 (in a 1 vs 1 as last players alive in Air RB) after 11 hits with US 0.50 cals (full API-T late war belt) - and it took 2 more to blow him up - that means i needed 13 (!!!) hits for a kill.
The bias topic comes into play if you know that the same ammo kills every fighter with 2-3 hits on average (i have about 1,500 matches in various planes using the same belts). I killed in the same match a P-38 L with 2 and a Bf 109 G with 3 hits - proving my long term observations and that the Yak-3 has somehow an incredibly sophisticated damage model…
From memory (my memory isn’t the best super long term, or short term either now that I think of it) I have at least 3x KH38 survived and 2x hammer survived in NATO (style) MBTs.
I even have the most recent KH38 survived clipped, but I’m at work so it’ll be a while before I get access to it on my PC.
Not many, but that is also because I just can’t play Russian MBTs too often without ripping my hear out.
(ZTZ99A/WZ1001/VT-4A1 are different for me though).
Does that comparison really tell us anything tho? Ofc the hydrogen bomb 38MT will have a higher kill probability against any tank compared to the coughing Maverick baby.
It would be kinda interesting if we had some russia players chiming in how well they fare againt japanese 38MTs.
Thats my point because this comparison is pointless.
Its obvious you will not survive from Kh-38 95 percent of the time so bringing up couple lucky shots isn’t gonna change how broken this weapon system is.
Well sure but Riper did pretty much the same in his comment before. Most MBTs can survive bombs and stuff due to bs. Ofc the KH38MT is dumb but that doesnt have anything to do with the survivability of MBTs towards stuff they shouldnt survive.
Eh i think as long as everyone gets similar equipment to fight and more importantly fight back its kinda fine. The real problem is how strong helis are compared to most top tier SPAA.
It’s a lot worse for me since I don’t play CAS and rarely spawn SPAAs except for IRIS-T to give them a taste of their own medicine (fnf), trying to play any ground vehicles at top tier stinks, its slightly worse vs ussr especially they have this stupid heli hovering on helipad slinging LMURs, sometimes I can hit them but sometimes I wasted all my ammo boxes intercept a few missile and can’t hit the host. Like wudahell enjoy playing tanks this way
Also this ah64 whatever it called also have this helipad sitting fetish
So you don’t want to use the tools given to you to deal with planes and thats why they need to be removed, okay.
It’s actually even worse against the other helis, because they have double the amount of missiles and the chance that he shoots at you are higher.
But there is also a solution to that, be aware and press G.
KH38 just lead to an avalanche of BS.
First they released the KH38 which was completely busted, got better after Fox3 came.
Then it was a good idea to release the SU34, which lead to some broken SPAA like IRIS-T.
IRIS-T made all helis unplayable so they released the IRCCM/f&f heli BS.
