it only becomes a bad idea if gaijins internal data is somehow so far from the deviating metric statshark uses, which shocker it shouldnt be as statshark polls the public API every month
So unless the accounts that are being polled, are either over performing above the average or underperforming then statshark stats shouldnt be that far from the factual truth.
there would have to be an insane discrepancy between both data pools for that to be the case which mathematically with how many accounts we are talking here would put that in the realm of nearly impossible when we are talking about millions of accounts and data sets.
But that’s not the case. Although I know the HQ-11 has many issues—such as having only half the ammunition of other 12.7 SAMs—its K/R ratio still ranks fourth among 12.7 SAMs, proving that its current capabilities are sufficient to handle the present battlefield environment.
This is not exclusive to the BUK as a TADS SAM. The only TADS reasonably capable to defend itself at relatively close ranges is the american CLAWS and NASAMS w/AIM-9Xs.
No, I’m saying Gaijin has data that Statshark simply can’t get, like if the BUK is being killed more by CAS or Tanks pushing into spawn, Average K/D of the people playing it, average survival time, how many missiles it has to shoot to get a hit etc etc.
Now whether or not Gaijin is actually using those statistics is a different issue.
That might be because the performance of the missile of a sam system and the overall performance of the system are 2 completely different things?
You can put the most insane missile that will ever exist on a sam system thats trying to find targets and guide missiles with the shilkas radar and make it impossible to hide and overall it will still be bad af.
If the radar aquires targets when its already too late, loses targets and produces ghost targets en masse, the best missile wont help with shooting down targets that have already dipped down again or went defensive when your radar first sees them. and then youd still need to turn the launchers and hope theres nothing in the way. and dont even get me started with using the SUK to shoot down ordinance.
Iris-t, samp-t and nasams are way better sam systems in the current meta than the buk. What im just wondering about is why it is necessary that russia outshines or is at least on par at every vehicle class in game. Having a bit worse spaa at least negates that somehow. (well if only the pantsir wouldnt still be one of the best spaas and you get two of them each match for free, with the upcoming tracked pantsir u get 3). which is funny because theres nations that dont get access to a single usable spaa. hello japan and israel.
you never played SPYDER, it’s much more worse. PYTHON 5 will not hit anything near ground since its seeker has only 80° off bore sight and the radar has no neg angle searching
it would be yes, but if they then separated that raw k/d value based on an average win rate of accounts and separated those accounts into tiers like 30-40% w/r and 45-55% w/r accounts and higher w/r accounts, irrespective of the vehicle in question win rates you could then to a degree define a skill bracket and determine if higher skilled players are in fact obtaining a higher k/d or if the vehicle is truly bad.
The new pantsir will be the most meta SPAA for Squadron Battles and I’m pretty certain.
Though we’ll have to see how usable the proxy-less and low TNT equiv missiles are against last-second maneuvers from aircraft. Even then, you can always just take the 95YA6s anyways…
Lets be honest are you surprised? they just making up reasons to buff russia even more. With the state the game is in at the moment its no surprise.
Gaijin dont care about making things fair and balanced anymore and they can do that as there is enough Gaijin Sympathisers that defend their actions so they can look at it and think its fine.
