genuinely appreciate you for taking the toll on your sanity to do all this, and its frustrating to know that the devs and bvvd wont do shit about it cuz well A. they are russian and only want the Russians to do well cuz of political bullshit (WHICH HAS NO PLACE IN A VIDEO GAME CUNTS!) and B, all the op russian vics make them a fucking LOAD of money if anyone remembers the 2s38 on release. its sad and the state of the game is just fucking disappointing that they dont give a single flying fuck about us, and if they do itll be to silence this replay cuz its hurts their feelings we want a fair and fun game not. Here you go little timmy mommys credit card and youll win most if not all your games!!! :)
on the topic of op vics yes i know its not all russian shit but 9/10 it is the wolfpack is still one of the best premium tanks for the usa tree due to the nice round HOWEVER it WILL PUNISH you unlike the russian tanks where you just eat rounds like its candy
as a vet of nearly 9-10 years the warthunder i grew up with and the one we have today is completely different and my voice as a player isnt heard which is why im never on the forums cuz this shit hole gets us no meaningful changes
Also the M1128 105 Striker currently has a 7.5 seconds because for some baffling reason gaijin decided to use the “average engagement time” instead of the actual reload time? Despite its IRL reload being 6 seconds flat. cant let us nato players just have the shit no no no that would be insane, i honestly dont mind it since the stryker is a good long range picker and 6 seconds would make it much more hated
Meanwhile on the Abrams and Leo 2 your reload is 6.5/7.8 seconds respectively unless you have an Ace crew which takes a lot of grinding that people simply don’t have time for.
And if we really want to be pedantic… 5 seconds is the MAXIMUM time for a loader to qualify on the Abrams AND Leopard 2. If anything the Abrams and Leopard 2 should have standard 5 second reloads that GET BETTER with crew levels but I’m not even asking for that. the poor leos need a lower reload at this point yeah the armor is manageable but hell a near 8 second reload if era eats a round you just lose and not even cuz you messed up cuz gaijin shitty code decided fuck you
anyway thats my rant maybe ill look back in here for some meaningful convos if you respond (cuz we know damn well the one that brain never grew past the spine will give us one)
Is this not tautological; considering you are clearly judging goodness based off K/D. Nor obvious that high skill players will do well regardless to there is less of a reason to balanced based on their performance since they can make anything work? you wont get anything meaningful out off someone who only thinks K/D is important since K/D in this fuck ass game has meant shit and nothing for years but people still hold it up to stroke their ego cuz thats all thats important to them
At this point russian MBTs aren’t even considered OP, just hand held so they can somewhat compete
they wouldn’t even be top tier in the first place if Gaijin wanted to stick to reality, but here we are, simply because of that carrousel / spall issue (as well as relikt, let’s be honest)
Russia is busted because of :
one missile that was still not proven to exist, equipped with a 3rd gen thermal that by all logic should not exist
an helicopter that carries twice as many missile as it should IRL, all the while being immune to all top tier SPAAs that can be lined up against it
a tank destroyer with a very convenient “deconnection” of its 2 main belts between the upper turret and the crew
3 of the best SPAAs in the game (and yes, not switching to your buk launcher PESA to spawn camp aircraft and instead complain about the low refresh rate from the main radar is quite ironic coming from people calling out skill issue left, right and center)
very strong line ups in each aforementioned category (BMPT x2, SPAAs X3, KH38 slinger i’ve lost count)
Is it balanced and fun ? Nope
Does it even reflect reality even in some little capacity ?
Nope, and the gap between the 2 is quite embarrassing at this point
More recently I’ve been playing 11.7 Britain, and BMPTs correctly struggle against Challenger 2 MBTs.
Of course if I play 12.7 then BMPTs are easy eating, as they’re easily far worse than any other options Soviets can bring for 12.7.
There are tanks that bring up concerns, such as Ariete. Ariete I feel is a tad more difficult to 1v1 BMPTs with, but DM53 first shot should be in Ariete’s favor.
None of the above justify any argument of course.
The cross-analysis shows BMPT is correctly BR’d, which is not my opinion.
BMPT, M4E3E2, IS-4M, etc are all about the same BR above identically armed low-armor tanks.
BMPT is 11.3 while BMP3 is 9.3.
M4E3E2 76 is 5.7 while M4 Sherman is 3.7.
IS-4M is 7.7 while KV-122 is 5.3.
You could argue 11.7 for BMPT still based on this, and that’s a pretty solid argument as well.
Right now, I do not see evidence of BMPT over-performing, and until Statshark adds March to the monthly stats, there’s know way of checking the KDR, or economics of it in March.
Of course, KDR of 1 - 1.5 doesn’t automatically mean OP, after all there are many OP vehicles with KDRs of 0.9 on Statshark.
Same text made from Dec, Jan, Feb and now March
NOT ENOUGH EVIDENCE LOL
Surely we’ll get the answer from you in April
Thoughts & Prayers, Thoughts & Prayers.
Wouldn’t surprise me.
Too many people use personal experience to justify their positions.
There’s a reason I explicitly tell people not to use my personal experience to justify positions:
It was not 11.3 for all of February, and it wasn’t 11.3 in December or January.
In February it wasn’t even in the top 60 of KDRs, granted the top 60 ends at 1.97:1 KDR, and BMPT was ~1.5.
i have no personal desire to get a rise out of americans, I am actually supporting american players this is a major problem in this br bracket and everyone who plays it is experiencing it. and by trying to accuse me of malicious intent is laughable at best. Im simply discrediting your argumentation because its bad argumentation
TLDR, you can stop your whataboutism this topic is already long enough.
If something was wrong, you can make a separate post/request to the DEV to fix but I doubt it.
“Ayo chat, one problem at a time chat. Stop, I can’t read.”
If you have issues with someone then take it to pm’s. And no we don’t want to see the pm’s here, You can disagree with someone but don’t start a witch hunt against people.
Either stick to the topic or don’t comment at all. This goes for multiple users here.
