Russian Teams Steamrolling NATO - Top Tier is Broken Again?

Everything is better than my in game skills, yet it doesn’t change the broader scope of my argument, nor the fact the Abrams is performing better than any other tank at its BR range

The tanks individual performance (K/D and K/S) isn’t that far out of line with the Merkava Mk.4M, Leo 2RI and Leo 2A7V.

We’ll have to wait and see what the july stats do, which I’m extremely interested in.

So let’s just clear it up. I hate to treat you like a child but you seem adamant on trying to insult me:

Factually, are Russian tanks significantly smaller and more compact than NATO tanks?

do you understand the concept of skill floors and ceilings?

They are smaller sure, but the difference is not significant.

Sorry, but if you make statements like the following I know the level of conversation and I’ll stick to that level myself too.

The lower profile actually ends up being a disadvantage

MCLOS missiles require more skill and attention investment to use well when compared to fire and forget TV guided bombs.

That doesn’t make them any less powerful

But it does reduce the probability of you actually meeting someone who has put in the practice to use MCLOS missiles effectively

TV guided bombs are something you just need two keybinds to use at max effectiveness, anyone who can point and click can use them at their most optimal

Smaller yes, significantly smaller no

lower skill floor doesn’t necessarily make them better really

Walleyes also have the better TnT equivalent and from what I’ve heard, a better glide profile too which gives them more range

But it does mean that any potato in a match can use it to decimate your team while higher skill floor MCLOS missiles aren’t as common; basically A-4E is that wrecks your team is less likely to appear compared to “point click kill” yak130 which can be used by basically anyone

The glide profile is basically identical inside tracking range and anyone who sits still long enough to catch a TV bomb from outside tracking range would have caught a dumb bomb from the same distance, it only helps if you’re slow as hell when dropping

Fair enough.

That is true. But imo the main reason for there being less A-4Es is that it’s been in the game longer and it’s a squadron vehicle.

I think they should both probably end up going to 9.7 tbh

Yes they should both go up (even if that screws my Israeli lineup over)

I usually forget to clarify that I’m simply pointing out that people are crying about the yak-130, the A-4E was already pretty busted at 9.3 but nobody complained beforehand

Yes it is. Very significant. Why is it do you think that Russian tanks have no gun depression and are extremely agile, faster and lighter despite being better armoured than NATO tanks?

This is a significant difference.

T-80s sure, but calling the T-72/90 extremely agile is a good joke.

It barely makes a difference lol.

If anything it’s just as much if not more of a downside than an upside.
