Russian Bias: Raw MBT access in the 9.7-10.3BR region

Yeah, it´s a cancer, but who take more advantage of it and against it?

Yeah, I mean, I also prefer abrams or tkx if I have to choose, but when the combat gets so chahotic and unpredictable the t series tanks has a better chance to stay alive (due to its damage model)

Yes but vikhrs still the only missiles that can be used if the enemy pop smoke or if they are under cover and you want to send a missile before they leave cover, bro you can even kill reccon UAV´s and planes with those hahahahaha. Against AA ok, fnf missiles are better if there is 2 or more aa or planes but PARS/Spikes/mavericks are so slow that can be easily intercepted or just move to covert, and again, in a 1v1 where aa and ka52 are pointing against each other, ka52 always gonna win due to having 12 missiles.

No it isn´t hahahaha, it is almost there because has better rounds and a better silhouette, but 2s38 has the reload, lws and unmaned turret on its favor (the br too but that doesn´t matter here) also you made a good point there “after they got buffed”.

Tbf though Ka-52 has the advantage of ripple firing Vikhr at close proximity of each other. AVR is really good at these things, and they’re the only squad I have seen that effectively uses the Ka-52 in SRE

BUT, big but. SRE conditions are not the same as random battles

That still doesn’t help you when a missile corrects it’s course at the last moment before it impacts.
FnF helicopters can basically ignore AAs for the most part and continue doing their thing.

Yes, but by doing that you take the risk of failing your missile, while the ka52 just have to point at you and send one missile more to kill you. So while you´re whirliedirling your missile the ka is just pre firing his missiles at you.

It is not OP (it was when vikhrs had 12 km range), it is not unkillable, is just the best helicopter in game rn.

Best CAS. Sure.

Best SPAA? Definitely, but it’s still bad compared to current CAS.

Best MBT? Leopards are better, but the Russian Tanks are monsters.

Best helicopter? No. That’s the AH-60 Battlehawk in Israel.

Best IFV? That one is tough, but I believe the Namers (as butchered as they are in-game) are the best.

He did that with me, and said I was statpadding 😭

Leopard and Abrams take the lead, BVM in 3rd. However, the T-90M is pretty stinker, leaving you with 1 competitive option.

Eurocopter Tiger is also pretty good.

Abrams is good, but the BVM is better overall. The Abrams, to be effective, has to hide its turret ring. The T-80BVM zips around and has incredibly dodgy volumetric. The ERA also carries the thing immensely.

Eurocopter Tiger has 8 PARS, which are inferior to Spike-LR 2 and the AH-60 has 16 of those, plus an MAW and a gun to defend itself.

The only good thing about Israel’s current top tier is the AH-60. Everything else is incredibly underwhelming.

Generally, i’ll prefer the M1A2 SEP. However, the teams make the experience incredibly bad, leading to many concluding the Abrams is bad.

I meant to say it came in second over the Ka-52.

I’m very fond of the Abrams as well and it’s an amazing sniper, however, the Abrams was horrific until recent patches. It took a long time before the Abrams actually became good.

The Ka-52 is mid. I don’t know why everyone is so scared of it these days. The Mil-28NM is better in every way.

lolwat? What kind of Russia glazing is this post…
Best helicopters: NATO; France, Germany, Israel…
Best IFV: NATO, specifically the CV9040 series. And ALL IFVs are like bringing an M22 into top BR… well not THAT bad for the team, but pretty bad.
Best light tanks: CV90120, HSTVL, and VT5.
Best CAS: NATO by far; France and USA are #1. USSR comes up behind with their Kh-38 platforms. ALL are OP, NONE can die to SPAA at this stage in the game.
Soon SPAA may out-range AGM-65s though.
There is no best AA.
Top 5 MBTs: USA, Germany, Sweden, Italy, and Japan.

Soviets have exactly 1 “top 10” MBT: T-90M, and it’s in the latter half of the 10. #1 is tied between Abrams and Leopard 2.

I dunno man, blackhawks are really chonky (more exposition time), the ammount of spikes is awesome but they are very slow, I mean, at 8km a spike becames a sausage that maybe hits or maybe dont the ka52 after 3 labour days of flight.

Mmmmm no, great armour but againts planes or helis better to have a fast cannon that a spike.

Anyone decent in a helicopter would hide at that point, as relying on AA mistakes to survive isn’t really something that you should trust.

Kamovs only edge out FnF helicopters when there are no AAs around, otherwise they are better, especially that Israeli one with 16 Spikes.

Why though ?
I think Freccia outshine Namers pretty easily.

Considering your entire argument is based off of vehicles you’ve never played, it’s null and void.

All the nations have good tanks in those regions, MBT-70 is a very good tank, along with others.

And I find this particularly funny, because I feel you’re going to say Russian air in sim is also OP, when it’s not even close to being decent.

There is no Russian bias…. SMH.

It’s amazing the mods haven’t closed this

I would love to see you bring up “historical matchmaking”

There was a chance of Russian bias when Mig-23MLD was put into the game until F-4J was added, as that was the LAST time Soviets had an OP aircraft that other tech trees couldn’t compete with.

That was over 4 years ago now, and ever since F-4J almost no tech tree has been OP.
Even when AIM-120 F-15s released, Israel, USA, and Japan were all OP, but they also could face each other.

Soviets have never been OP on ground, and the helicopter nonsense was fixed when 10km SPAA was added for most tech trees.

Freccia’s great. Didn’t think of it.

I’d rather not jump into an actual match, but it takes other helicopters a significant amount of time to engage even a single target. The Battlehawk can do up to 16 at once without a line of sight during the missile’s flight path.

I’ve never had issues with the speed of the cannon. And there’s no objective best IFV when you have the Namer and Freccia which are great at separate tasks.

My favorite IFVs are the TOW ones personally.
Though I will play the Chinese one around BR 10.0.

I haven’t used any Soviet IFV in well over a year at this point, and I’ve seen them about as often.
BMP-2Ms are rare… I miss those free frags.

Helicopter gameplay is awful unless you’re in a certain hand full of them.
