SIM Vehicle Roster Rant

Screenshot 2024-10-12 200133

I wonder why there are almost 10 times more people playing Team B, must be more popular nations right?

I honestly wanna know who is in charge of SIM brackets, geniunenly concerned about his state. He is either completely devoid of reality or he’s the king of NATO mains.

Because cold war vehicles from USSR either are just some overtired vehicles like a T-55 fighting a CV90. People are going to play Meta, it’s not player’s fault, is Gaijin forcing this specific vehicle rotation.

In my opinion Ground Simulator could be a lot more fun and populated if Gaijin didn’t forced this vehicle rotation.

I haven’t mentioned China because it does have some least decent vehicles to play with. Like the Types 69 with vertical stabilization and laser rangefinder if I’m not wrong.

Maybe if there weren’t only 26 possible tanks (9 SPAA, 6 TDs, 3 LTs, 7 MBTs, and one Heavy tank) one team, when the other team has over 4 times the amount of possibletanks.

People just playing meta, that’s it.

Funny enough, but there is bracket where only bunch of chinese tanks and BMP-3 able to compete with the entire blue team vehicles, because the rest of them just unplayable in comparison (9_2 bracket, if im correct).

I was gonna make a thread about this too.

Some of the brackets have random insane vehicles for blufor. The 10.3/11 bracket has the HSTV-L, which is basically 1 BR higher than anything red puts out.

The 8.0 bracket on today (which is where I’m guessing you got the screengrab from) has things like the VBC (PT2), Mars 15, Vickers Mk.3, Strv 103’s, VIDAR, STB-2 etc. These are tanks that have things like full stabilisers, LRF’s, APFSDS, thermals, drones etc. Meanwhile Redfors best tank has single plane vert stabs and an LRF (Type 59A).

You have multiple 8.3 or above on blufor, redfor hasn’t got a single one.

yea, If SB didnt have a Br rotation I would be playing SB more than RB. I also do not like waiting 10 min to find a match only to get a small team that will leave right away after 1st death or so.

It should just be BR rotation with proper fixed sides. As an example Communist Hungarian vehicles on Redfor.

So, if we run a 9.3 bracket, you don’t have Germany or Italy running around on blufor with T-72’s and Chinese forces in CM11’s on red.

It is 8 nations vs 2 nations, and those two nations are not very popular in some time zones…

Btw there are more BLUE player even in 10_2 where RED force is blatantly OP

How is redfor ‘blatantly OP’ in 10_2? If it was, wouldn’t everyone play it for easy free wins? It was on yesterday and it was f*cking miserable as redfor, basically unplayable with all the CAS.

Yeah, ‘’‘‘Balance’’‘’

that is the main problem

I’m sure that was the biggest factor

Have you seen the roster ? Have you checked the TTD of available vehicles ? CAS is only thing which makes BLUE force afloat against overwhelming firepower…

This is armor protection agains top RED force shells… and it is the same for almost all BLUE force MBTs

And protection of the RED force MBT agains top BLUE shells

On top of that RED force MBTs has GEN2 TVD while most if not all BLUE has GEN1 TVD.

2S6 is better then anything what BLUE has, backed up with Strela and flying SAM Z-19 camping BLUE airfields with K band radar which cannot be picked up by BLUE RWRs and rack of TY-90…

WIN rate for REDS is about 70% which is even you case, so I wonder what are you complaining about ?

the abrams is better lmao. You got the z19 part right, with ty90s its probably the only OP redfor has. You also forgot to mention that blue has better helicopters at that br, and they are even more effective than the a-10late spam.

Mr Redfor team keeps respawning tanks more often, thats why they win

How is M1 better ? With irrelevant armor, worse round, worse optics, worse TVD?

Except they don’t…

Because spawning BLUE MBT is waste of SP, if you spawn M1128 instead of M1, you would at least have a better round and better optics+TVD

Are you talking about 10_2?

Idk chief,last time i played that one my PGZ09 couldnt di anything with those 5-8 F-5/A-10s just lobbing mavs safely outside the range of us and deleting the team within first 10min. And well russians either didnt bothered spawning Tungy or did and got insta mav’d. Playing this sim as China is god awful experience.

The Abrams isn’t the best, but the US has access to the M1128, AGS, HSTVL and an abundance of CAS. Plus the Abrams still has it’s strengths in reload, mobility and gun handling vs the T-90A.

Other MBT’s available to blufor include the 2A4, Ariete (P) and Challenger 2.

I genuinely ended up playing the 2S38, Tung and Strela as my 3 vehicles and I couldn’t do shit still.
