I have seen successful impacts but but they were parked, so they could have the trophy turned off
Yeah IDF suck at stationing their tanks, they dont even try to cover them, unlike russians/ukranians. All exposed.
To be fair they dont face the same volume of drones as in ukraine
A word of caution on the whole ‘hurr durr - look at this video - Trophy don’t work!’
For every tank caught on film and successfully struck there might well be many others where the APS did the job but was not being filmed. Is it in the interests of the attacking parties to publicly show the occasions where they fail to get past the APS?
Then consider that it is probably easier to film a successful AT strike than a failed one…
After all, if you are filming a tank under attack - the tank survives and now that vehicle crew clocks you …such a wannabe cameraman might not live long enough to upload it to youtube…
There was an open question as to cite occurrences of APS Failing, I provided one where the event is cataloged, that’s it. Its not about successful interceptions.
And the Tanker wouldn’t show off their invulnerable system? The entire reason why such events are documented is so Caskets getting sent home are properly accounted for instead of being blamed on some other occurrence, like FPV strikes or mines as postulated in the very same article.
Can’t post them on the forum. Due to the likely hood of crew perishing. Which is ToS. Feel free to look them up if you don’t believe me.
couldnt find any.
Just 1 from an RPG shot less than 100 yards away
Look what we started, from the argument being “aps should not shoot down missiles launched from airborn platforms in game” to, aps interceptions of atgms (ground launched) in a real conflict based on unkown conditions. I think this has gone a bit too far. But anyway did you have any luck playing your tank in game?
Funny how now that the US is busted and OP, there is no US is steamrolling… Very odd
Winrates are showing USA doing very well currently.
The core issue at top tier is still there though which better tanks dont fix very well.
This rn shows exactly where the issues are and it is not Russian tanks.
(CAS and SM-SV are the real problems)

How can both CAS and its counter be the issue?
Because said counter exists only in one tech tree which conveniently also has the arguably strongest CAS.

CAS dominance overall and the fact there’s nothing like the SM-SV in other trees.
Which lead to Russia doing really well.
The tanks are not the issue, you can see this from looking at winrates before the CAS got so much more powerful (tank meta hasn’t changed significantly since then)

Russian having the best CAS is such a forced meme, the missiles are good and that’s it, it doesn’t carry many of them, to employ them properly they have to fly high and be exposed to literally every SAM in game.
Meanwhile F15E, Griphen and Eurofighter are way better since they can fly low and dump massive payloads from close range or from an angle the pantsir can hardly hit.
The Mi28NM is the only saving grace and right now it’s under performing a lot.
Because the USSR has the best of both, even if their tanks are horrible
Pure fiction.
Simply the best air to ground munition in the game.
Literally R-27ER vs AIM-7F levels of strength.
The Su-30s are insanely powerful as CAS.
Yes, other nations have great CAS too, but Russia is stupidly strong in this regard

Its almost like the quality of weapons is the bread an butter of CAS…
Uhm no? You can pop up and shoot from close range with an SU30 as well and you can do it better since youre not burdened by a Mach 1 release limit and your missile is actually fast so its even harder to intercept from close range. (and then were not even talking about the difference in ARMs.)
Underperforming by what standard exactly? Its literally the single best performing heli rn and its overperforming massively over what should be its realistic performance.

Spoiler
A) You dont own and have never played a single vehicle you are talking about.
B) They are not way better
C) Dump massive slow payloads able to be intercepted by anyone with eyes
D) Pantsir has an 85 degree (SM SV is 90) radar ceiling. It has 90 degree scan cone with search radar and built in NCTR for fast target identification + 4 missile DL.
Unless the maverick, SLAMER or bomb has been released from such a close range where he couldnt react fast enough to intercept it, failing to do so in the hands down best SACLOS vehicle is an immeasurable skill issue and not the fault of the vehicle.
Ah yes ofcourse. The saving grace thats overperforming in its BELLY mounted LDIRCM meant for MANPADs protecting it from threats coming in from ABOVE the helicopter and with the RCS of a banana ducktaped to a baloon.
If youre not performing well in the Mi28NM in the current top tier climate then the issue is entirely on you and noone else. In other words, you are incompetent.

I had to go back to the start of the thread because you said it “aged like fine wine.” Today, almost a year later, the US dominates everything thanks to the SEP v3 hype and the general improvements to the Abrams; that’s why they have a high win rate and are the most played faction. But according to some people here, it’s all the fault of “rUsIAN TAnKs i NoT WaNt GetTiNg KiLLed By RuZZian buaaaa buaaaaa.”

These are people that still insist in engaging Zeros in low speed, low alt. turn fights in P-51/47s, what do you expect?
