rumain cope is insane

And that graph, strangely changes to finally going below 60% winrrate in 11_2 GSB where RU plays with China vs the rest of the nations.
Almost like the game was almost balanced for the first time in years, for a single patch, and that was too much for the devs, so they had to add something to give them back uncontested CAS dominance.

They needed an upgrade, apaches were stuck with 1980s Hellfires with very bad in-game implementation, other nations had a little better or worse versions
Hellfires were AND ARE missing laser codes, trajectory swap, better varients, 114B/K don’t have proxy fuse, can’t be sent into smoke, used against air targets

And the Vikhri missiles required replacement with Hermes missiles.

Woah, Sherlock, “required” is a strong word with a simple replacement “didn’t need”.
But it’s hard to argue with somebody that praises russia. :)

You’ve started to get annoyed by the addition of a system that doesn’t allow you to see the Mi-28 for the entire duration of the Vikhr missile’s operation, so I suggest adding simpler missiles with inertial guidance instead of the Kh-39.

Don’t worry, the time that the Mi-28NM has to be exposed is less than 30sec on good range
You have very little time to react.
We could talk for ages so I’m leaving this argument, if you want the last words then go on
30 seconds is enough for an AA to knock you out in the next 20 seconds.
Are you giving up already?

Alr, bet,
Right now, the Mi-28NM has unreal IRCM, it can dodge the IRIS, stay low for radar missiles and command guided can be shot down with ease
This is a realistic battles topic and Germany and friends have been living it up for a long time now. China’s winrates are above USSR in top-tier (remember to look at recent trends in statshark - not just all time historical, because USSR used to dominate everyone years ago) because it get gets passed around to other nations against USSR from time to time.
Tanks aren’t that strong, combine 2s38, mi-28, ka-52, su-30 and the win rate goes high
All of which will have had a tank spawned before them (unless you’re out there getting aces with helicopter rockets), so if tanks are not winning - helicopter and air are not winning. Hence, Mi28:
You could also say that the Leopards hoards don’t need to rush to those CAS/support vehicles to begin with.
So to answer the topic: Top-tier is not broken in the sense OP wanted to make it out to be. People are rushing to USSR top-tier to grind the Buk out and then they’ll disperse back to Germany and co.

This is the only advantage and only against one system.
well it might be fixed becous last night I was taken down (in the Mi-28NM) by an IRIS-T and the new french SAM… it might be just a flux, but…

Vikhr’s should have to choose if they are fired with proxy fuse or impact, same as PF arty rounds now do (this should have been implemented then they when introduced, an still should be), but apart from being able to clean out a bunch of incoming SPAA missiles to hit the launcher (and thats only if you are shooting at the one shooting you and he is the only one shooting at you), I never really found them to be better or worse then Hellfires, or rather either can be better depending on the situation. Given that PARS has been in the game for a hair over 6 years and SPIKE ER for about 2, both USSR and USA where due for a new F&F heli missile, especially with the new SPAAs.
Despite the extra grind for USA the new missiles seem fairly on par… and you do get twice as many on USA.
I just had this gut feeling that what OP is describing would happen, so i’m avoiding top tier completely for a while kh38 buffs, new fire and forget missiles new SAM it’s a recipe for cancer
That would change absolutely nothing gameplaywise.
Nobody shoots at a tank and then switches to a helicopter midlaunch or the other way around.
At least it’s rare.

And?
Those stats are muddied by the nation mixing.
GSB provides a direct comparison point, while playing largely the same.
You mean like the recent trend of RU finally falling below 60% winrrate? After years of complete dominance? Finally reach close to the 50% mark it should be?

I’ve killed some too but only with the 5th or 6th missile so it seems a lot more like a fluke than an actual change of the DIRCM
