This is absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable. The magical ERA that comes from the fantasy land of Gaijin and the indestructible internal parts need to go AWAY. Or at least give similar protection to NATO tanks to balance this garbage gameplay.
Got the exact same shot yesterday.
Leclerc SXXI, I shot at the front side of a T-series. I saw 6-8 ERAs disappearing into Oblivion, and the DART literally being eaten. No pen at all.
Blatant bias, that’s what it is.
EDIT : somehow, the autoloader full of ammo doesn’t blow up. As usual.
The round penetrated:

Also the ERA is modeled on known public information, which is primarily NATO sources on how Relikt and K5 work.
Which dart is this?
Either 829 or 829A1 (Idr if 120S gets 829A1 so whatever).
Conveniently, top tier NATO ERAs don’t act half the way those russian ERAs do. They act as spall liners, it’s completely ridiculous and unbalanced.
A 41841th point of why NATO is disadvantaged compared to Russia in this game.
top tier NATO ERAs don’t act half the way those russian ERAs do.
Call me not that knowledgable when it comes to NATO CE/KE protection but… I believe that’s kinda how it went for NATO ERA? TUSK and AZUR I believe are primarily CE focused?
And the DEV think RU player only bring HEAT round :)
I’m not exactly sure what you’re trying to say with this…
Its simple, they can’t balance between nations…which nations get what to be equal with others
So basically they’re just added cosmetics with additionnal weight for NATO MBTs.
I’m not critizising the realism of the game, I’m critizising :
- the selective realism when it comes to advantaging Russia
- the lack of balance. Because NATO ERAs are CE focused yeah, but in the meantime they’re completely useless midfight against russian MBTs, while the contrary is false
There is like, no balance at all in this game. And they have the audacity to put in place esports now… I don’t get it, the sad french nation will fight Russia at top tier, anhd somehow it’s gonna be fair and balanced ?
NATO has superior rounds, reloads, mobility, and most of the time armor.
Soviets have… better ERA because that’s what they developed IRL.
Exactly. There is no balance in this game.
You play anything against 7.3 Russia for example, at the beginning of the game you’re like “eh they have the META, I know we’re gonna loose anyway”
I won’t argue against the selective realism part since there’s certainly… questionable things when it comes to what they choose for and against.
the lack of balance. Because NATO ERAs are CE focused or yeah,
But like, how can they balance that? You can only balance things in a game like this to a point till it starts getting ridiculous…
Nope, they just asymmetrically add novelty/dopamine thinking the player base is please without thinking how the match will fold and this time RU on BR range wide.
We have no fun BRs anymore.
I don’t know, they don’t seem to care about balance when they give AH-64E AGMs while Mis have LMURs, or when they give NATO IFVs broken Spikes/MMPs
They practice selective realism for those… then do the same for NATO ERAs, and make them as strong as russian ERAs
We as in Soviets?
Cause NATO BRs are fun from 1.0 - 12.7.
9.3 is purely NATO strength for an example, strongest BR in the game overall.
And on another issue, USA has the most under-BR’d top tanks where their 12.7 lineup is currently 12.0.
If USA was the USSR people would be screeching Russian bias for ten-thousands of posts rather than the current amount.
NATO is NOT only the US man
I don’t know,
So you’re talking about the lack of balance of a pretty historical thing, then don’t know how one would balance it, and then you call for the same ERAs designed to be CE focused to be made KE focused like ones on the other side of the spectrum?
That’s like asking for AIM-54s to have their range nerfed because R-Darter doesn’t have similar range?
they don’t seem to care about balance when they give AH-64E AGMs while Mis have LMURs
How so? Personally I’d say they’re both pretty balanced though there is rather large issues with the guidance of JAGMs and other FnF related munitions.
or when they give NATO IFVs broken Spikes/MMPs
While I’ll agree like JAGMs and other things, Spikes/MMPs don’t have the greatest track record with their guidance modeling in game… they still work a decent bit… it’s not like they’re utterly useless.
