Im aware, however players tend to be more concerned with reverse speed when they start to take fire.
You sit at the back of the map and snipe thay reverse speed doesnt matter as much.
But when you are spawn camping and trying to abuse 3rd person peeking then yes fast reverse is more relevant.
Its just as important sniping to avoid counterfire
Rate of fire is very different from mobility.
Type 10 can be just as effective close as short range.
Its a choice to rush forward in a T-90/T-72 you could play more cautiously but players dont so they just state the T-72 and 90 are bad.
Sniping reverse speed is important, not when you are supporting your team though and the other team is dealing with multiple tanks infront of them.
You should play CR2 if you want to snipe its slow to reach the berm and to reverse back into cover
Its nothing to do with rushing forward. Holding any sight line, 10kph reverse speed is more powerful than 4 kph.
I play them pretty regularly, fun tanks
Dude thats how Russians play, they rush forward.
Fun tanks they are ok would you swap your CR2 for a T-80BVM?
Because it works against premium US/Germany players.
Any competent players can easily counter that kind of playstyle.
People do it because it works.
Sure, I like the mixup in style
Yes because Russian tanks are fast they are low profile enough and the maps give them just the perfect amount of cover to do so.
Anyway the T-72 and 90M with Arena will be good.
Not having a reverse speed isnt a huge deal breaker with the armour and protection these tanks will have
Nah, its just because the enemy have woeful situational awareness
Works all the same with tanks like the Leclerc and Type 10’s
I just explained why it does
Unless your idea of sniping is just sitting with your turret exposed constantly which is a very VERY bad idea.
They’ll be solid tanks, but still overall downgrades to the 11.7 T-80’s.
Publisher of the bug report ( me ) doesn’t use terms like nerf or buff , i want it to be historically accurate which it isn’t . Vertical +40 is incorrect , Arena-M offers full + 90 vertical coverage per multiple primary sources incl cheaf designer of the APS .
I am just hoping it’s not a premium lol we don’t need any more top tier prem Russian MBT’s.
