I know you’re a loyal fan of Mother Russia and will do anything to defend your favorite nation in the game, but you’re overlooking a key point: these machines don’t upset game balance, and finding documentation for them was never an issue—unlike with the KH38MT.
You’re trying to hit me with arguments about top-tier balance issues by citing the addition of a WWII-era vehicle—one that, like the Panther II, is no longer obtainable because it was removed from the tech tree for other players.
So, do we only care about documentation when it suits us?
Right, because we all have the exact same battles as you, and the problem I’m writing about is something I just made up and doesn’t actually exist—so I suppose the other players complaining about the same thing are just making up fairy tales for kids?
Well I’m not the only one with high winrates in their new Abrams, even people like in this thread have reported the same. Hell the SEPv3 has an overall winrate of just over 60% on statshark, that is wild.
Skill issue often influences opinions, which I suspect to be the case with you.
That must be why the M1A1 Abrams is my #1 most played vehicle of all time, right?
Must also be why I’ve got nearly 4000 kills in various M1’s combined.
It’s easier to simply dismiss anyone who disagrees with you as being a fanboy of a certain nation, than it is to actually address any of the arguments laid against you.
Kpz-70 and MBT-70 never upset the game’s balance? I’ve now heard it all, folks.
TURM III was never problematic for it’s BR? M’kay.
XM-1 Chrysler isn’t curbstomping everything at 9.0 right now? Alrighty.
Leopard 2K wasn’t an absolute menace on introduction? Sure.
Etc.
You say that, hoping I won’t question it.
Surely you’ve got good documentation that shows how the Radkampfwagen performed during trails, as well as it’s overall characteristics and data.
If twenty people claim the Earth is flat, does that magically make it so?
Statshark keeps track of the overall data set, that’s why it has hundreds of thousands of battles on record for any given top-tier tank. It’s data is infinitely more trustworthy than your personal beliefs are on the matter, or the beliefs of (low-skill) players that often haven’t even played Russia themselves and simply think ‘‘Grass is always greener on the other side’’.
Just because you don’t like the data doesn’t mean it’s not true.
yes it shows now, i assumed you were VivaLaDowntier because you are on the same squadron but its most likely your secondary acc, so yea you said truth you play since 2015 sorry my mistake
this nickname with the ending Downtier is actually someone from my division who, for reasons unknown to me, wanted to be called the same as me, the only additional account I had in this game was from 2014 and was stolen, then I created the one I am currently playing on
It was made as a response to the newer anti-ERA APFSDS made by NATO, yes. To better resist where Kontakt-5 had essentially become dead weight.
And while this is in part true with for example DM53 being made against Kontakt-5 but failing against Relikt, the breakaway tip of the M829A3 was made specifically to go through these double action/layer designs that were in prototype phase in Russia at the time.
It was a fully capable APFSDS-T combat round developed specifically to defeat modern tanks equipped with ERA (Explosive Reactive Armor), particularly the Russian Kontakt-5.
