Not in my opinion
You have 1-2 full BRs of tanks at the same BR right now.
wdym
At 12.0, you have rather weak tanks like the Challenger 2 & Ariete and you also have tanks like the Leopard 2A7V, 122, M1A2. Those 3 could easily be 13.0 right here, right now, with everything else spread between.
Ive even seen a good suggestion to increase the BR max to 13.7/14.0. A little outdated, but the point stands
I like toptier, it’s not balanced obv, but neither is any tier ever.
The compression at top tier is extreme to the point that balance is almost impossible currently.
You can say that for every br, it depends on the angle you look at it
Anyways this discussion is about SPAA and the rp it takes to get them
this is going off topic
Im looking at it from the angle that you have vehicles that perhaps shouldnt even be seeing each other, at literally the same BR.
Most obvious when you look at the SPAAs. No way the difference between an ADATS and a Skysabre, IRIS-T SLM, SAMP/T, etc etc is only 0.3.
Its the same kind of difference between the Rapier and 2S6
From 7.7, the Balance has already disappeared, radar SPAA vs WWII props and early cold war jets… And still there are some players complain they are not good enough just because they will fire far from 4km… sometimes even SPG performance will be better than some of SPAA players
Not relevant to this discussion
and yet again you forgot to mention that all the K/D in that image are from you using SPAA as tank destroyers and going around killing tanks.
How interesting that those positive K/D SPAA all have much more ground kills than plane kills
Well actually . . .
Bear in mind, that is not only going by a very generous estimate of 20% deaths to CAS, but that is playing sub optimally.
Look I will not argue this point again because you are just making up percentages again.
My point is you are using the SPAA to hunt tanks which skews the stats so much they are not really representative anymore. I was just stating that in this thread.
You claim how strong SPAA are against planes and yet use them against tanks.
I use SPAA against tanks cuz there’s more tank targets than air targets. You are right though, that does skew the stats. SPAA is far stronger than I make it look. Not only do I play it very sub optimally, my aim is just in general bad.
What prop planes are facing radar (7.7) ?
The only way that happens is if a player purposely overtiers when they jump into CAS.
If you bring a knife to a gunfight do be upset by the results.
Spitfire/TU2/Tons of Japanese strikers, for 6.7-7.3 players, there a pretty high chance to take them ,just like some of SPAA players complain they are not able to use some low BR SPAA to shoot down the toptier Jets
6.3 is the highest BR JP prop plane so it would be a bit of a stretch using it against 7.7 spaa with radar.
Neither (ground or spaa) have a leg to stand on if they are using vehicles that don’t fall within the BR range of the battle.
If they have success - great.
If they get curb-stomped, they have no one to blame but themselves.
The main issue is that there is nothing that can replace them, considering most of the early Cold War jets CAS performance is pretty bad, so that’s why they are still using props. I have complained many times that Japan still lacks good jet fighters from 7.3. The only choice is Kikka, but it is still bad because it only has 2 30mm guns with only 50 rounds for each. Additionally, for Russia/China/Britain/France, before we reach 7.7-8.0, if they want CAS, props are their only options.
50 rounds? Wow that is brutal. At least make the thing playable - it IS a game after all…
And that’s why I wish R2Y2 at least in GRB should be 7.3…
