Leopard 2s raise their guns to assit the loader (it’s an automated process that begins right after the shell leaves the barrel, i.e there’s zero lag), likely why they could achieve such quick load rates even when moving decently fast. Afaik no other MBT does it, but I know that at least T-series also raise their guns a bit to assist the autoloader and cut the reload a bit.
T-series tanks have 1 and only position in which the gun has to be to reload the gun, its actuated when the reload sequence is activated. The shells in the carousel are fixed and dont wobble around but I dont know about the exact speed cap or if there is any up to which speed the gun can reload
Yeah bro, BMPT situation is totally normal. Ppl are just over reacting liberal suicidal empathy lol

F2P players are just NPC for SL grinding in the P2W perspective. Remember Diablo: Imortal?

You came to the game literally 17 minutes ago, I have been here since day 1 of open beta. This pattern that Gaijin is using has been the same since day 1. All the new toys are strong and shiny until new ones come out for different nation thus shifting the OP focus from one nation to another all the time.
Idk man, I played this game since open beta air arcade
How could one forget the notorious E-100, IS-7, 279 eras ehh
I thought we’re here to discuss balance cuz they said they want a fair and balance gameplay
If they keep silent and keep making P2W, unbalanced gameplays…I’ll shut up.

All three eras of those were quite recent actually. Try M4A1, Tempest Mk V, KV-1, Tiger H, Griffon Spitfire, G8N Renzan, the nuclear tears of US players absolutely crying their eyes out when a A6M Zero turned better than him in /Insert US airplane name here/ thus brought the P51 Mustangs BR so low that it almost fought biplanes, same with the P47. The comments about the absolute “superiority” (cant use such words here, will get banned so I refer to sarcasm) of US players didnt come with the introduction of the Abrams.
Fair and balanced gameplay is what they want as long as it brings MONEEEEY! Which it doesnt! You need to shift the OP nation of the time of the year constantly to shuffle people around thus force them to get the next best thing, some get impatient and buy with GE. Some go straight to the premium aircrafts, accounts etc. Look at the Su30s premium… This will never change, its their way of doing business and making money

What exactly are they supposed to do if they climb worse, and accelerate slower? The US tree simply demands far more from a player to do well, but one that understands what to do can easily leverage the occasional advantage.
Unless you have a altitude advantage you get stuck relying on them making mistakes for you to leverage things into a kill which requires either significant technical knowhow and the specific understand of a given matchup between airframes or buy-in from your opponent and being successfully baited into overcommitting.
And besides back when Gaijin did asymmetric events that actually put the US team at an insurmountable altitude advantage defending bombers they completely dumpstered their opponents because it’s what they were designed to do.
And it’s not like Gaijin would make Air spawn altitude dynamically assigned , to equivocate out the massive time to altitude disparity. Thus part of the reason why there is such a massive BR difference.

Thats a lot of text to say that you have absolutely no clue what I am talking about
And that’s not exactly an answer is it?
The US players constantly tried to TURN in their Mustangs and P47s with A6Ms and were wondering why are they losing constantly when “Japan lost the war” and how is it possible for them to lose in a VASTLY superior aircraft and that its unrealistic etc etc. They are considered the worst playerbase since day 1! Weirdly German FWs fighting UK Spitfires didnt have this issue, wonder why… Also Mustangs climb better, are faster, have higher top speed and dont lock their controls in a dive or going above 500kmh like A6Ms do. Level flight on ANY altitude there was absolutely no way a Zero could catch a P51 unless itself was engaged in turn fights with a Zero and thus lost so much speed that Zero could catch it before P51 extended away. Dora D13 fought Meteors, Sabres, Migs and P80s because it got so uptiered by the stats yet it still was able to do something. Meanwhile P51 which should be in the same bracket was fighting early props…P51 also turned MUCH better than D13 and if I remember correctly was slightly faster in a dive than D13 by about 20ish kmh. Zeros were also so bad at higher alts that rarely anyone even climbed above 4500m. Shiden Kai was the only one capable of doing anything at those high alts if there even was anyone there to fight which quite often wasnt.
Not at low altitude, P-51’s for example have much worse times to 3k from sea level. even when optimally climbing.
Sure, top speed might be higher but the worse acceleration allows them to be caught if they don’t carefully maintain energy. and are much more rigid in needing to reset properly to maintain an advantage and so often need to bail out of a dive in order to no get caught on the extension because they can’t get guns on
Exactly A quarter of a turn or less is often enough to loose that edge you have irrevocably, you really do need to make the chances you do get to make a clean pass work.
This isn’t that much of a notable event don’t forget the game didn’t start with BR’s implemented and there was no level restriction in lobbies before that.
baiting players to lower altitudes isn’t that hard neither is not falling for a rope-a-dope or chandelle.
Yeah, because their opponents either got run down while climbing due to poor time to altitude. or gave up on climbing entirely and went to achieve other win conditions(mow the grass, or intercept attackers / first fighter they saw) rather than countering interceptors since no one on their team climbs since they have no workable advantage when first encounters occur since optimal climb speeds put you at such a massive energy disadvantage, and there is no way to earn tickets up there after they removed recon planes as an objective.
Energy fighters always asked for more discipline and careful flying than turn fighters but guess what…other nations had such planes too yet only US struggled
So which props do the US have that turn? P-39 / P-63? and that’s basically it.
You do know that energy fighters are vastly superior to the turn fighters right? Different playstyle sure, needs more discipline in energy management? Sure. But if done right you are literally untouchable! Turn fighters were always profiting from people making mistakes because otherwise they CANT REACH THEM!
Such as?
Because Germany had fighters that can easily climb quite well and perform in both dogfight and energy fight.
British planes were also the same.
Italians? They performed so well in G56 its repair cost went up to 60k at one point due to how good it can climb and dogfight.
USSR? Also same.
Only USA planes required significantly more discipline compare to other tech trees.
Only exception I can remember is the initial release of F-8F’s, those things were broken when they first introduced.

That rule only works when your enemy has less than two braincell, otherwise you can’t simply beat them by yourself in energy fighter only.
Even in real life Us pilots were baiting zero pilots to beat them by using another wingman.
The whole German FW line required MUCH more discipline than anything in the US tech tree because they turned MUCH worse and didnt regain energy as good up until D9. British had the Tempest series, Russians had the La9, although everything in RU was a mixed bag, jack of all trades master of none sort of. Japan had the Ki61s, other nations werent even in the game back than…

Sure if you know what you are doing, and your opponent doesn’t. But based of the BR of certain aircraft like the Corsair and the Zero. it should be blatantly obvious that the average player doesn’t.
So well, while a true statement the stats don’t reflect it due to a lack of skill on the median player’s part since its so much easier to just throw the mouse around the pad to capitalize on the lack of diligence of said energy fighter.
No it didn’t because during those times German teams had whole discipline which allowed you to make mistakes and not get punished.
Tempest series also climbs pretty well compare to most US planes.
You mean the broken La-9 that had insane high altitude,climb and dogfight capabilities?
Yea I remember that, in fact I used every single planes you mentioned except Anton series and they weren’t as difficult to perform as you claimed.
