Exactly, but I have survived a fair few LMUR/KH38 runs because I could smoke after seeing the first person die in the killfeed (still hate both missiles though).
The MBT meta isn’t really that much different between tournaments and ground RB. It’s just that tournaments are a small scale (4v4) and you rarely get to see the true MBT meta because of KH38/LMUR/BMPTs being dominant.
Great Mobility + great firepower + questionable armor (Abrams) always beats meh-mediocre mobility + meh-mediocre firepower + decent-great armor (T-90M/T-80BVM) in the hands of skilled players.
tank meta is practically the same in tournaments compared to normal matches.
The only difference is tournaments have a spotting system and CAS isn’t a problem as well as it being 4v4 and usually having non-garbage players on either side. Resulting in the advantages and disadvantages mattering a little more.
Ideal solution is to nerf CAS, make it actually harder to spawn (increase sp cost + reduce scouting rewards), add heli rotor RCS, nuke LDIRCM overperformance and give SPAAs room behind spawns to hide and have cover in.
I’d also love to see UAE S1 for something like Germany (S1 turret on German truck chassis)
“tank meta is the same in tournaments except for the all the things that prevent it from being the same and make it different which is everything” -you
tank meta in tournaments is the same in grb for the same reasons. (reload, firepower, mobility over “muh big armour”)
The spotting system only means that bad optics aren’t an issue and that people can’t camp in a hole the entire match
Tell me, put good players (of equal skill) against each other with two different vehicles, would the players using the better vehicle win more often than not?
would that not result in people then using the better vehicle more often to equalize the playing field?
True, maps absolutely need a change but since BVVD confirmed that’s not planned, there’s nothing we can do about it unless every player riots. (not happening)
It would just come down to whichever one plays better unless you’re giving one person a massively better tank. But once again whats meta in ground rb tournaments isnt meta in actually ground rb. Because the meta right now in ground rb is to spawn a bmpt hold w then get in a cas aircraft of your choosing and wipe the enemy team in under seven minutes. In fact arguably the Bmpt is the best vehicle in the game right now.
