The Pantsir SM-SV is Simply Too Strong, Russian Bias as Clear as Day

Uhm and why exactly? Have you actually looked into premium playrates?

Truth is we will never know so it’s all speculation unless they release their numbers.

I don’t disagree with you, but there is no reality in which Gaijin would nerf the Pantsir artificially and there are no blufor anti air vehicles that are nearly as good as the Pantsir in this setting

Blufor can get better SHORADs and fixes for their bigger SAMs, but nothing even close to the Pantsir

If we get into even better big SAMs, you will probably end up with nobody being able to do any kind of CAS, except for maybe extremely low altitude strafing runs

It would be better to fix existing problems than to go another step forward in the CAS v AA arms race

Other trees get money bias as well, just not necessarily at top tier

its missing 70% of its armour.

Its protection is supposed to be STANAG level 6, which should be 30mm APFSDS PROOF

in game its more like a STANAG 4 at 20mm proof

Im waiting for ARMs to be added to somewhat fix the issue to the high speed of stuff like the HARM

No I haven’t but I can’t also talk on which nation has the most premium players since I don’t know. I would also think premium accounts matter and honestly this is a box of worms that would create more issues.

probs germany, the most commonly spawned tank for the last couple years has been the turm 3

if it wasnt russia. which it is

Sure but russia gets money bias and selective realism bias on non premium vehicles

I get that the Skyranger would be great to have, but people were asking for Boxers in general and the Swatrinf is probably the more popular choice for your average player

Eitan has the same if not worse problem. Gaijin needs more bmpt food

Well rusians haven’t really made a MMW ripple AGM, but here we go - Brimstone is nerfed into the ground. Why when it comes to something out of parallel it’s always rusia that benefits in the game? That’s odd, isn’t it? BMPT as another example. Pantsir as another one. kh-38 as another one.
NATO’s out of parralel thing would be a SPIKE missile and we all know how it works. It also appears that it recieved another hidden nerf this patch, because I refuse to believe that it started missing so much just cause.

Again not worth speculating and taking from the pantsir problem, sorry. Realistically it would create problems if they showed even numbers of which country they get the most money from in real life. Just more arguments while this panstir exists and ruins my dopamine hit a of a well dropped bomb.

Depends on the BR personally.

I mean, it’s just not occupying any niche. There’s already a thing that works even better than it. I’m not against it in any way, but come on, it could’ve waited for another patch or even two.

Then look into it. 50% of the 10 most played premiums overall are russian. 60% of the top 10 in february and december, 70% in january and the playrates in general are insane compared to anyone else so its fair to assume that they lead on premium time as well. Also russia had the most played premium in 10 out of 13 detailed months on Statshark

It really doesnt.

if russia could get one we would already see it fully modelled.

Spall liners werent introduced until there was a good option for a russian one, APDS is trash until the “generation” russia first uses. fairly sure stabilisers were only added when russia had options for that too a very long time ago.

just this update some mouse guided SAMs got overhauls, alongside when the new russian bias SAM got added. Theres too many coincidences to not see that things either dont get modelled well or at all unless it can be close to meta or OP for the russian tree

The US does have a system specifically for small munition intercepts, that being the C-RAM, but like you said missile defense escalates from the C-RAM all the way to systems like THAAD.

The US should lock in and put the RIM-116 on the HEMTT trust

Let’s not forget that with this addition they also made rusia effectively immune to ARMs lol.
They’re not even in the game yet, but I have a fat suspicion that they were one of the reasons for this addition.
