Stat cards are literally useless. The fact you’re using it like a bible shows how little you understand about the game. The number you gave is unusable. Does it keep 340 m/s for only an instant? For most of the flight? Half the flight? You don’t know right?
Here are some concrete numbers:
The LMUR has a booster two times stronger than the JAGM booster(11250(N) vs 5756(N)), though lasting 1 less second, then a sustainer also giving two times more Newtons of thrust(765(N) vs 370(N)). Despite the LMUR having a bit more drag and weight, it has a monster engine to make up for it.
doest change the fact that it one shot mbt or take only one hammer to destroy 3 sams close to each other. yes it slow but hammer and kh38mt are the most powerful a no other munition have these kind of power of destruction.
the probability is lower however, because the intercept window is much, much shorter, it’s basic logic really
Not to mention things like accidental smokes, your target dying before hammer arrives, or it accidentally going behind a building, rock or any other type of hard cover
The statshark calculator seems reasonably accurate, I took the Mi-28NM into test drive and a 14970m range (just under LMURs 15000m maximum) 197m alt shot from hover at a stationary target gave me a 63.2 sec flight time in the calculator and timing the shot in the test drive came out at 67.6 seconds. So not perfect but pretty close.
I can’t test the JAGM because I frankly cant be bothered playing the Kisarazu or the DJP again to grind out another Apache.
I will eventually, I’ve been playing mostly air and a little bit of lower BR ground lately so I still have the Type 3 and all the new Thai tanks to grind first. Helis are not really a priority for me so they go to the back of the line unless I have a 500%SL booster to burn in the PVE mode or something.
Other way around, considering the Leopard 2A5 and it’s derivatives are superior to the T-90M.
War Thunder’s meta is all about mobility and getting the first crippling/lethal hit on target. The T-90M does not suit this meta whatsoever.
Mobility, gun handling characteristics and reload rate are the most important elements, armour and survivability are just a bonus if you already excel in the previous mentioned attributes, but in the case of the T-90M armour is literally the only thing it’s got going for it.
The T-90M is a 12.0 tank that’s sitting at 12.7 because there isn’t anything else that could fulfill that spot alongside the T-80BVM.
At the same BR as the T-90M you’ve got the Strv 122’s which offer:
Superior gun handling.
Better all around mobility.
Better survivability.
Better firepower.
Equal armour.
But hey, I’m sure you know all about this given your experience of having played… Not a single German or Russian vehicle above Rank I, let alone the Leopard 2A6 or T-90M.
The NATO tank profiles are massive and event the UFP are also not reliable
We can talk all day on the entry fragging, which one die first on the first shot
Handling is not the problem. I rarely see any time that Russia tanks have to turn around and do all the micro adjustments like you said on the bad features
Its either the map design that NATO can’t defend or the frontal armour of the Russia tanks are artificially strong.
I just explained to you how armour isn’t as relevant as other features, and your reply to me is: ‘‘Yeah but the 2A6 doesn’t have as good of armour’’.
Then neither is the lack of armour.
See? I can just conveniently dismiss deficiencies that don’t align with my views too!
The fact of the matter is that you’ve never played any of the vehicles you’re talking about, yet you claim to know which is superior regardless.
You have no idea, because if you did play these vehicles you wouldn’t be sharing the views you’re sharing right now, and you’d actually know just how awful it is to play the T-90M in the current meta.
The T-90M can’t reach powerpositions before it’s opponents do because it’s mobility is atrocious, but even if it somehow could, you still don’t have the gun depression to make use of half of the best powerpositions in the game anyways.
Then there’s the fact that it’s got the literal slowest reload of any high tier MBT in the entire game coupled with not particularly impressive penetration.
Again, need I remind you it shared the same BR as an Strv 122?
The armour is completely irrelevant the moment you face anyone with more than 2 braincells and who simply aims for the LFP, breech, driver’s weakspot, overmatches side armour. etc.
You’re constantly at the mercy of your opponents being bad at the game, and even if they are, there’s still a good chance they knock you out via sheer happenstance.
T-80BVM at the same BR is superior, not to mention vehicles like the M1A2, M1A1 AIM, Leopard 2A5, etc. being superior at a lower BR.
