You play all NATO tanks the same. Im sure you have gotten kills in it. But that doesn’t change the fact the KVT can’t bounce dm23 or bm42 with its turret cheeks reliably. It also has a mid as hell round. The clickbait can bounce the rounds it sees with its cheek (this matters alot sniping) and it has a very resepectable round.
10.3 is getting a lot worse with 11.3 and 11.0 premiums. You WANT to play 10.0, and 10.0 america is much stronger than 10.3 because of the matchmaking.
The only problem with 10.3 is you kinda got cucked by the br changes and all your good cas is there.
KVT is arguably better than the Leopard and far better in a down tier than it. Against rounds like DM23 105, OFL 105 F1, DM13 120, etc, it’s only weak spot is the turret neck (the breech is too unreliable and the cheeks and LFP have too much armor). It is also just as mobile, if not more mobile, than the Leopard. It also gets a 5 second reload which beats or is equal to almost every tank it fights.
Yes M774 is weaker on its own than DM23 120, but the reload more than makes up for it. And M774 can still reliably pen the areas you’d be aiming at with DM23 anyway.
I’ve had plenty of non pens by DM23 and, with the right turret angle, even a non pen from 3BM42 every once in awhile if they aim for the wrong cheek. If you get the right turret angle, your cheeks become immune to most rounds you’ll face, except the more modern rounds that all these tanks face anyway in uptiers.
Dont forget, 3BM42 isn’t a problem if you just kill them first :P
No seriously I actually mean it, you have better mobility than a vast majority of the vehicles at your BR, have an amazing reload and round (call it lackluster all you want, it gets the job done the same as any other 400mm pen round), and great turret traverse and reload. You will get the first shot in most cases (if you play it right), and against all tanks using rounds that can pen you anywhere, you can usually kill them in one shot with the right shot placement. The tank is far from situational as many other tanks are, as it can handle itself in pretty much all situations and use its excellent mobility to get into any situation you would want to be in, and reverse out of any developing situation you wouldn’t want to be in.
Sure 10.3 isn’t as great for CAS with the A-10 late moving up, but the A-10 Early, (is the tram also still 10.7?), A-7D, and the F-111A are all great CAS jets from my experience.
but honestly, is the 11.3-12.3 CAS/SPAA setting any better? Panstir-S1 in pretty much every single match that ain’t a full down tier, and your own SPAA options absolutely suck.
Although yes I do agree, the new 11.0-11.3 premium spam is making the uptiers a bit more constant, but considering how brain-dead they tend to be, at least it’s bearable. Least the 11.0s have no armor… but uhh there’s still the T-80U-E1… and the other scary 11.3 premiums
Ey fair enough, but it just doesn’t look like the premium that will help him the most when the top tier packs cost less than them rn and are more helpful.
KVT is much better purchase than Clickbait. There is reason KVT have 60% WR while Clickbait have 30%. KVT is very mobile,good gun,fastest reload on the BR,bounces stuff at 10.3 quite reliably. Clickbait have the mobility,and reload,and thats about it. It wont bounce anything.
Here i do it for you. KVT can’t even stop a round from a tank lower BR (turms) on its cheeks, the clickbait’s cheeks are impenetrable from russian darts at a higher BR than it (11.7)
Why would i go to protection analysis when i have both KVT and regular M1 at 10.3 and grinded the US tree with it lol, i have over 400 games with base M1s, they are better tanks than TURMS, only thing TURMS have going for it are gen 2 gunner and commander thermals with 3BM42.
Well it does,just like DM23,its not always but yes, it can bounce it contrary to what protection analysis says. So who to trust? Someone who never played said tank and only played Germany,or someone who actually used the tank extensively in 400+ games?
Yes and if you have a little extra I would get the AH-64 greece Apache. If you felt like you’ve earned it also buy the F4S it is a game if enjoy it and want to spend money you should do it. I don’t have the Clickbait but I heard it was great. I would say that apache will also help you a lot.
