Exactly, russia has the best counter to CAS in the game, and the best CAS to use. It is blatant that theyre trying to boost russia’s stats, first with bmpt and now this.
Only played it 6 times and already doing so well…18 K/D Granted I need more games, but…😂 Better mobility, extra missile to counter ammunitions, Fast 1700 m/s missiles makes this thing just…deadly OP.
Personal opinion. USSR didn’t need this, but ill take it since Helis spam is a threat and this is perfect for them and hated the slow mobility on that big Pantsir Truck. Other nations need to be priority for sure…

Im surprised I havent died to this thing or other spaa once. The only times I died to player were 1 death from su30 (which I killed) and 1 death by z19e (wallet warrior got mad I landed his jh7a with aim9l and spawned full aam z19e lol). Rest were results of touching mother Earth
The only real heli that is an issue is the Mi28… which won’t face Russia.
Russian top tier now has the best SPAA, two very potent other SPAAs to back it up, okay tanks (good armor, okay stats in everything else), two BMPTs, the best heli, and the best CAS ordinance. Hmm
Srly, I have no problem using chally2 to kill Abrams and Leo ever.
This doesn’t quite line up with the reality of this latest update.
CAS used to be 600 points and you had the chance to get that many via A2G missiles.
Now it’s 600 points and you are shut out by a single 70 point Pantsir SM-SV and they get second “Free” BUK
The points don’t add up, me pulling a jet is sandbagging my team versus I could have scored ONE KILL as 2 different additional tanks.
Now when I take my 900 point hornet with 4x AGM-84s? That math is even worse.
Da, comrade! We have to take extra cautions adding top tier NATO weaponries
Now then, Enjoy getting blowed up in 4 different BR for the sake of gameplay balance
trash tanks.
except BMPT, russian MBTs suck.
I find them to be a bit tankier than NATO MBTs. I got a test drive for a high tier T80 a little while back. In 12 games I managed to have a ~1.8 KDR after not playing ground for a few months. They also keep up pretty okay, speed wise, on rough terrain when I play the Abrams. I’ve been specifically watching this because everyone says T-tank mobility is abysmal. Reverse gear is the only issue I’ve had. Gun depression is fine if you have good positioning. Restricting, sure, but what tank do you not have to play positionally? Their reload is limiting but unless you find yourself in a crowd or you dont take out the loader on the first shot youre generally okay. Survivability is bad, but most of the time youre dead anyways in top tier if you get penned. Their tanks are adequate, and I’ll leave it at that.
Now, this is just a theory, but I can imagine that Gaijin is actually too lazy to model mmW guidance and multi-spectral smoke grenades
If the amount or power actually was a problem, we wouldn’t have the AASM Hammers and FnF heli spam
yeah do realise most people do not spend money on the game, also people who owns the premium BMPT are ass at the game and its so easy to kill when I play Nato, and Heli wise, most Pros will only take 6 Lumar and 4 Igla and btw Lumar is very slow, slower than agm179, you should just have spam at least 4 agm179 on one tank, I normally do 2 on each tank and rearms, so technically is not the best like you said, SPAA wise, BUK M3 is literal rubbish, can’t even hit anything compare to other spaa, beside both US spaa ofc, I mean CAS wise, every country is op if there is no spaa which happens all the time for Nato team so whats your argument
Pretty similar to radar guided AShM
And by the way, the best heli is the Chinese, they literally have both the AH64E and the Z10ME which is the best heli in the meta if you are a top tier nerd like me which knows, its light and agile and have the best air to air missile for heli and have decent to good ATGM
well is nice to have ngl, I’ll take the track hull anytime over the truck hull
Yet people still do, and Russian premiums have always had a theme of being really good for their BR (especially around 10.3 :P)
Quite the deflection. Russia’s 11.3 WR is damn near 60%, huge jump from the BMPT. To say it’s not an issue is ignorance.
To fire 10 munitions instead of 8, + the Igla is a fine missile on its own. Less time spent reloading = more missiles sent downrange.
It’s also the most effective AGM in the game. What’s your point?
No it’s not. It’s plenty fine for it’s BR. You’re only complaining because the IRST is marginally better. The missile is damn near multipath proof.
The SLAMRAAM and NASAMS are both average SPAAs. The only redeeming factor on them is the 9X.
You get the fastest AGM with a very potent warhead, and being SAP-HE it ignores NERA due to overpressure. Mavericks are much slower and dont trigger overpressure as theyre Tandem HEAT projectiles. Not to mention, 38MTs 1. don’t exist, and 2. are on a plethora of very good aircraft which makes them super effective at top tier.
The speed and warhead type make it literally the best AGM in the game. No nation has a counterpart that has as much speed or destructive power. Because it’s so fast, it’s harder to intercept and harder to dodge.
Blaming it on “not spawning SPAA” is also a deflection, and a very lazy one at that.
Also don’t group NATO together, most of the time Russia has at least a few NATO members on its team. Independent nations should be equal to one-another ingame.
Contradiction saying they have the single best, while then naming 2. The Mi28 is the best solely because of the LMUR.
No clue why you’re bringing this up either. China isn’t imbalanced because their tanks are abysmal and their CAS is very lacking apart from a few exceptions.
thats true for only the premium line, and now its gone 10.3 is not broken, the tech tree 10.3 vehicle is some what mid I did say, take the old 10.3 for example, both T-72B and 1989 have no zoom and literally suck balls I would say, the T64BV back in 9.7 or 10.0 now 10.3 performs way better than both T-72, that leaves Bmp-2m, its good, but not that good if your enemy is a vet, basically a free kill, you are talking about how broken the premium tech trees are and I totally agrees because gaijin wants to profit off pay to win, but what you are saying is the whole 10.3 is broken thats just simply not true, but I do agree Nato need more vehicles around that br range especially Germany, the problem here is 10.3 is not op, but it have a actual line up where Russian main like myself can spam until the Nato side runs out of vehicles
btw MI28 can only carry 8 Lumar max if you use all the hard points, I don’t get where u get 10 from lmfao, if you count the Igla sure but Igla is more like a missile you spam on aircraft when they are off guard
I would say Bmpt spam its a problem and its annoying to face, but very easy to kill ngl, its just the spam that is annoying
Still plenty effective over other premiums. Anyone with half a brain can play a BMPT, T80, or 2S38 and more than a few kills.
8 if you take only LMURs. 10 if you take the combo of LMURs + Iglas. I will admit I misread, though. Iglas for air to air means it can defend itself and you can rearm quickly for more missiles.
It’s a T90 chassis at 11.3 and indestructible if hulldown. You cannot disable it in a single shot if it is hulldown. It is exceptionally well-armored and easy to play. It’s easy to kill if it’s exposed, and most players are very unaware, but an average player is going to have an easy time nuking in it.
It’s also the most effective AGM in the game. What’s your point?

True, but my point its it is slow, in this current meta if there is a Nato anti air up and knows how to shoot it down, its not hard, also you really have to peek out and tilt you heli up a little to let the lumar fly off unlike agm179 which steers up by itself, and I did say the Chinese munition is way more effective than Lumar as you can spam at least
