Russian MBTs: Firepower and Protection versus NATO counterparts

That’s why I didn’t say thunderskill was their actual stats, but still it provides a decent reference, especially since the more skilled players are on there.

Hmm. It makes me wonder what the worst tank is on the list.

Well seem you forget that Swedish players mostly are skills players and combinations of good tanks that’s a result
I’m not surprised really

What kind of sample size do you think you would need to figure out trends in large sets of data? It’s far smaller than you seem to think it is.

Power analyses can be used to calculate the minimum sample size required so that one can be reasonably likely to detect an effect of a given size

And its not as if it can’t be account for by being specific about the claims that you make and what is supported by the data that we do have access to.

It’s smaller when picked by scientists.*
However, Thunderskill is an opt-in system, thus it doesn’t play by those rules you linked.

By the way, lotta people trying to suffer around here if Russia was as bad as you say it is;

Why Do I need to explain this again?

Just because it’s not a random sample doesn’t mean you can’t create inferences that are empirically supported by the data, you just need to be careful about what exactly is being claimed.

That’s a very unrealistic number, seems photoshopped if I’m honest, I’ve never seen a number that high for any nation in queue.

We’re in the middle of a GE sale

I can absolutely believe there are that many 2S38s sitting in queue rn

I would’ve thought there’d be more wolfpacks, considering the super abusive spots it can be in.

Why am I being shown this meme? I want realistic reloads, reverse speeds, etc. Afaik the reverse speeds are correct?

I doubt we will ever truly get realistic reload speeds because they work well as a way to balance a tank without changing it’s BR. Plus, it might be quite hard to get a solid number on some less common tanks.

However, all tanks should have their IRL mechanical capabilities modelled accurately.

Jfc.

Well, Russia overperforms so it’s really not all that terribly surprising to see those kind of numbers.

But hey, Russia suffers and all that.

Yeah. Those abominations are everywhere. I despise it with every fiber of my being.

Nope because as documented in this thread some people will go to significant lengths to deny documented performance if it doesn’t suit their argument.

I’d love to see WT running essentially fully modeled with all abilities/tech integrated but as we can see from many parts of the game (FM, reloads, armor performance) it’s just not always entirely possible. Which then requires balancing

meanwhile Russia main


@SPANISH_AVENGER may i ask to make the update version for me plz

It’s a meme, because one thing is far more realistic than the other, T-72, T-90, but not the abrams, nor the T-80s
Example: abrams more than likely (supported by data) is reloading too fast, possibly same with other manually loaded tanks.
Example: T-80U and variants low too slow (supported by data)

It mimics exactly what you’re asking for. Also the m1128s have been out in force. I had an entire team of them earlier.
So did a pal of mine.

The T series, leclerc, Type X, etc all are mechanical, I cannot say for certain they are all correct though.

Ah, definitely, not like Germany or USA dont. Maybe if USA players stuck around for more than one life, they’d have a good game and better wr.

Because human loaders can provide inconsistent reloads, or data which doesn’t support your narrative? If @MiG_23M would gladly demonstrate a combat load that is 5 secs I would agree but he hasn’t.

Remember to include the part of the drivers view where the armor suddenly turns into 1000+ mm of armor
it’s so beautiful

If we are going that far, let’s include Leo external fuel tanks that will eat 1200mm pen ATGMs, or 600 pen APFSDS.

Nor is any tank low enough to hit the angle you provided.

See, perfect demonstration of what I was saying.
