ERs are definitely not a viable substitution to R-77s.
ET snipes are also harder now due to more planes having MAWs, so sneaking around won’t help in many cases.
APS works unless you touch barrels with your enemy, 700-800m of distance is usually more than enough.
That’s not only as it makes you immune to everything from all angles.
It also can be replenished on caps.
its also mounted on a Challenger 2 hull with no add on armour. Imagine taking your T-72B similar armour levels mounting Arena on it with 4 shots giving it really nice thermals a worse round than 3BM60, nerfing its reload rate after the first 4 shots and then putting it top tier.
That is what the BK is
It’s basically a T-90A with no UFP armor, much better gun depression and reverse speed with similar round but better reload speed and an amazing APS with spall liners.
It’s a pretty slept-on vehicle in my opinion.
Because it’s not even close to meta, Britain are forced to use it, would you trade a T-80BVM for it?
or maybe a Leopard 2A7V or an Strv122?
No well that’s what it faces and it lacks in every department excluding…Nice thermals and an APS system. Also no one plays Britain at high tiers lucky if you see more than 2 players in the team.
I was just making a remark that something like that would get much more attention if it was on a RU tank, regardless of other pros/cons vehicle has.
Just like 27ER did when it came out.
Next tanks added will invalidate it.
Leopard 2A8 will have Trophy, M1A2 SEP V3 will have Trophy, CR3 final has Trophy , T-90M Obr 24/25 will have Arena M
(Russian one uses an explosive projectile and can stop darts based on testing)
These make the CR2 BKs party trick pretty irrelevant like when they buffed all tanks reloads to 5 seconds ish removing that one slim advantage a CR2 had
Yeah I agree that M1s getting 5s reload was a pretty toxic change considering they’re far away from being included in the group of bad tanks like CR2s, Arietes and Merkavas.
The bias doesn’t just begin and end here with the Russians. Ground battles are a NIGHTMARE with any Russian vehicles that show up. Generally it is several shots to take one out, but they are usually one shot one kill.
He might a little bit extreme sure but by his good K/D and experience
He’s definitely not idiots.
Shame I couldn’t see the words of wisdom before it was flagged.
dw, way above that esl of yours
The R-77 should be preforming better than the amraam by a good margin
Based on what data?
R-77 has always and will be inferior to AMRAAM, R-77M is Inferior to Aim120D, R-77-1 will always be inferior to AIm120C
I have never seen a single document stated that the R-77 is a better missile than an Aim120
One thing I’ve been seeing people do at top-tier air is to stop bringing flares at all. The assumption is that people are just FOX-3 slingers, so no need for flares. R-27ET be eating good from what I’ve seen.
That’s weird, as from what I can see only some US planes and Rafale have to sacrifice ARHs in order to bring IRs.
Bringing no flares at top tier is a skill issue moment.
You got ‘experts’ like this putting tutorials on YouTube saying flares are useless at top-tier, so I guess some people are actually listening to it (Skip to 1:03 if it doesn’t do it automatically):
I think people underestimate how many IR missiles are being slinged at top-tier.
Good thing that dude has only ~700 views.
😂😂😂 Nice joke
It’s only a joke to those who can’t fathom Russia having good aams.
I bet you have no issues with IR missiles lighting up the kill feed as long as it isn’t RU, am I right ?
What’s even worse, the best CAS nation in the game gets them at 10.7 so they are free to molest Stingers, Iglas and Osas.
