Statshark was a mistake

Because you do? personal example here, I used to think the is3 was OP until I actually played it

I thought it shouldn’t be as well, but then, guess what, I actually played it to find that the ATGM reload was awful, the reverse is mid and the mobility is OK at best, and it has typical russian gun handling. I’d say its pretty balanced at 9.0

Its not an entirely invalid argument because you really should know both sides of the argument. But its also not like your opinion would be entirely discounted in this case, generally the response from people here is to shutdown people who call things OP asap because most people dont care as 95% of things people complain about are indeed skill issues or just not reall issues. The most important thing is to find the people who agree with you and form coherent arguments bringing comparison to other vehicles in the game, not just saying something should go up because it kills you a lot which happens very frequently

Like i said I dont have the is2 plus Literaly every good player I know says its overtiered.

The IS-2 '44 also being overtiered won’t help either.

Well yeah, its absolute balls to play. But it also can’t go down in BR so there’s not really any solution except decompression

I mean bmp3 does have a really good missile+themals+middle of the road gun (subpar for ifv standard) but its also really mobile and you get to fight paper armored nato tanks not the mention the 8.0 downtiers

It is overtiered. Btw I recommend looking up the player who starts with statshark because chances are they’ll also be pretty bad :p Not a lot of good players in this game

A really good missle that you can fire about every 20 seconds if you have shit crew. (can’t comment on the autocannon as I’ve only just got it and haven’t got the Apds yet)

Just move it down to 6.3 and folder it into is2. You might not agree with the first point but you gotta admit it has to be folder

reload isnt an issue if you just play like an atgm carrier. Also its a light tank you really shouldn’t be going face to face with multiple mbts to need a faster reload.

gun is bmp2 but slower firerate

True. The second IS-2 is purely just a RP buffer for the next tier. Just like the Leopard 2 PSO and a lot of other stuff it should defo be foldered

tanks foldered under su152 are questionable. Isu152 makes sense in the folder of the su152 but there is also something else I forgot what it is but its a different vehicle

I mean, if it’s a WW2 bracket vehicle you might as well grind it out. It’s only a week at most to get to rank 4 in most WW2 relevant nations.

I had opinions on Yak-9K.

I went and used it for a week.

My opinion persist about yak-9k (it is quite capable at a2a combat, despite claims otherwise by people defending its CAS BR).

yak9 is pure bullshit. I think it wouldnt be an issue if it didn’t have an aphe belt. Stock belt has 1 aphe per 2 he and I think that’s fair since it basicle slashed its ammo count and makes it tricky to use

This is the main reason, most other similar light tanks biggest problem is with russian MBTs which have good side armor, not to say it should go up in BR sure theyre annoying but generally thats because theyre used in a different way to normal tanks, their cannon has relatively low pen, they only get like 4 atgms and are stuck with apds, so sure theyre good but there are a lot of downsides, and the bmp3 is not very quick compared to like the vcc80/60, the bmd4 is closer and thats why its at 9.3

Luckily, the meanies who do fly it and advocate for its BR don’t know how to even fight with it in an A2A role, making them cannon fodder for any CAP up

Except nobody flies CAP

It was the worse option between the 9T and 9K for like 7 years until they added the aphe, which is great fun but yeah very annoying, doesnt help that 90% of people are bad at AA

The TT BMP-3 gets 8 ATGM’s with a 20 second stock reload. You’re thinking of the autoloaded BMD-4’s with 4 ATGM’s, which ARE at 9.3

Huh, honestly the bmp3 is worse than I thought then

people who play 4.7 are either new or gods at the game. New players cant hit the spaa shots and the god tier players are the ones spawning the yak9s
