The TD is great until someone idk… someone shoots at you and sets the bomb off at the back of the turret through the mantlet
OK thats great but try and make a small turn in the Challenger, it will slow down to a crawl after a 90 degree turn at speed - driving a T-80-UE1 around is like driving on ice, it feels as if it has no weight at all
When half the maps are flat terrained, street maps or maps with very shallow elevation changes, this doesnt mean much - it also doesnt help the CR2s can and will be one shotted through the area above the gun
Wow and in the Russian tank tree only 1 tank past 12.0 with turbine, the rest are premium (which also mega suck in other regards)
I also think you forget the whole point of reverse. It’s being able to go backwards without having to turn 180 with zero neutral steering (Russian tanks)
Sure, but reverse works in street maps. You can get out of impossible 1v2’s on corners.
JP, USA, GER, SWE, ISR, IT, all have better ammo lmao. Thanks to them all having the same shared platforms or modified derivative.
Even CN which is basically a copy-pasta Russia faction with reverse gear has slightly better.
i just found this kinda funny.
Kh31PDs are genuinely broken, it is actually so funny that there are genuinely people that defend this. Just for clarity sake, that is a 49+km release with 3950kph which is Mach ~3.2 roughly.
So that is a stable Mach 3+ wide band anti radiation missile on every single 12.7+ flanker in the game with over 50km range and 144kg warhead.
the wide band kh58 is kinetically similar to or slightly better than HARM
there is no reason that russia needs kh31 especially given that their AA was already by far the best and most reliable at intercepting missiles including ARMs
Option 1 is much better than option 2 when russia already has access to Kh38s and the best SPAA in the entire game.
So the solution seems quite simple.
also “will not have any ARMs except Kh58s” as if Kh58s were terrible.
Genuinely people defending Kh31s can cry me a river for all i care. This thing is demonically busted compared to non-russian ARMs ingame.
AS-17 is mostly broken because the other systems in the game are either not implemented or multiple decades older. AARGM (HARM but modern) would be quite strong, and AARGM-ER/SiAW should be even better (once it’s finished development). I don’t have info on other NATO systems but the capabilities of their modern systems are likely also as good as AS-17 or better.
hmm…
yeah i think your forgeting the platforms that uses kh58. bcz i am not crazy like you to think a su24 or su22 is worth doing sead with at 13.0 GRB.
Su25SM3 has them. Also more importantly, does russia need them? Russia already gets a built in extremely good ESM that is basically a wallhack against SPAAs coupled with Kh38s
But of course, nah, russia requires not only the best SPAA but also the best ARM coupled with the best ATGM be it SAL or IR because we cant have russia losing 1% WR
What a tragedy.
also stop playing dumb, theres a reason you cut it off at that range and even in your video at most it is 2 seconds slower not a world apart like you are trying to imply
