Firstly,the balance issue of the territorial control mode has existed for many years and has not improved at all!With the gradual modernization of in-game vehicles,the problem has become more prominent.New players who purchase advanced vehicles and enter the game may leave after dying just once,leading to the game’s outcome being determined by which side has more new players—the side with more new players tends to lose!
Secondly,Soviet vehicles are overly well-developed.They have powerful support aircraft,formidable ground tanks,and strong air defense systems.Even their reconnaissance vehicle(the 2S38)is excessively powerful,allowing them to easily enter top-tier rooms.They can activate Su-34 support in just three minutes after killing a few enemies.Not to mention the Pantsir air defense system,which is the only one in the game to use the K-band search radar and has a missile range of over 15 kilometers.As a result,all aircraft are shot down without warning right at the spawn point.This kind of game balance leads to a one-sided game situation and a poor gaming experience.I have basically developed all the vehicles of all countries.To be honest,the game should aim for a situation where a hundred schools of thought contend and a hundred flowers bloom,rather than subjectively balancing the game at the expense of other nations’vehicles.

As far as I know from the information I’ve found,the 2S38 was developed for low-altitude air defense.Its introduction is intended to replace the outdated ZSU-23-4"Shilka"tracked self-propelled anti-aircraft gun and the 2S6"Tunguska".To be honest,it shouldn’t be marked as a light tank,but rather as an air defense system.This is because it shares the same attribute as Italy’s Oto anti-aircraft tank.The number of its armor-piercing rounds should be reduced,or its level should be increased to 11.3!

you know classifying it as an SPAA only buffs it right?

Classifying it as an SPAA is a direct buff to it, and Gaijin doesn’t ahistorically limit the amount of shells of a certain type. 11.3 also overtiers it in my opinion, and it should be 10.7.

At least it won’t let it enter the top-tier room to quickly and easily start the Su-34 and Su-30 for a massacre.

What? Do you mean scouting? That doesn’t matter though. Lower SP means more reserve SP and getting SP is criminally easy with just a cap, assist and 1 kill
So it should limit the number of its armor-piercing rounds like all other anti-aircraft vehicles(such as the Oto anti-aircraft tank,Gepard,and Type 09)!

But those are historical limits though. It’s literally modeled in the Xray, unlike those vics the Baikal turret uses 1 autoloader
Correct me if im wrong… but didn’t they do exactly that with the Otomagic ?

How to balance the game:
First, remove all the incompetent idiots who are in charge of balance now, and probably emasculate and flay them.
Then, give the job to somebody who has at least an IQ of 80. Problem solved.
It’s actually insane how awful gaijin are at balancing. for the entire life of the game their balancing technique has abounted to which vehicles they remember, some vibes, and a deeply ingrained need to make soviet vehicles better than they actually were.

The 2S38 is currently correctly BR’d.
Su-34 is OP and still doesn’t touch how OP Rafale is in CAS due to superior weapons support.
Pantsir can’t frag top CAS due to lack of range.
Also why are you trying to buff the 2S38 by classifying it as SPAA? Didn’t you say it was too powerful? Why would you buff it?
Also OTOMATIC fires superior proxy rounds with a search radar, that alone is a 0.7 increase in BR over 2S38.
2S38’s AP rounds can’t be reduced, and it can’t go to 11.3 without OTOMATIC going to 12.0 and HSTVL going to 12.3.
Because:

When you take a game model and system designed for WWII airplanes, and try to make it capable of handling modern ones and thousands of planes, tanks, and boats.

Does what you said make sense?France doesn’t have advanced light tanks.It’s very difficult to rely on the Leclerc to initiate the Rafale.Moreover,the Rafale has to face the threats of the Pantsir and the Su-30.The Soviet system not only initiates quickly but also has fewer threats.This is inherently unfair!
So Soviets, France, etc CAS aren’t OP just because they’re forced to rely on MBTs to get into CAS? lol
Rafale can’t physically die to Pantsir as Rafale out-ranges it.
Su-30 loses to Rafale in an engagement.
Soviet players can launch the Su-34 to massacre in just three minutes,and if it gets shot down,they can launch the Su-30SM to continue the massacre!Do you think this is fair?If every country had vehicles at the level of the Pantsir air defense system,and if every country were given simple light tanks like the 2S38,then there would be no complaints!

we want them to have an IQ of at least 100. An IQ of 80 is below average, IQ of 90 to 102 is average.
And French can do the same alongside American players.
In-fact, USA can do it the easiest since they have the 2nd best light tank in the game.
And if 2S38 is your standard, then Leclerc is at least equal.
You can score far more points in Leclerc than you can 2S38 when all players are equally skilled.
You must be Russian,right?To be honest,I really look down on people like you who are so argumentative.If you remove the Pantsir,other countries’aircraft can then perform the same CAS missions.Except for the Soviet faction,aircraft from all other countries have to evade the Pantsir missiles as soon as they spawn.Does the Su-34 need to consider such problems?It can climb high and attack ground vehicles at will as soon as it spawns because it is not under any threat at all.Moreover,the American faction’s aircraft do not have stand-off ground-attack weapons.You subjectively believe that this affects the balance,but you don’t consider at all whether the KH-38MT affects the balance!

@LI1146311427 Good to know you’re Russian.
It makes sense considering how hard you defended Russian equipment while I defended NATO from lies and general misinformation.
Pantsir doesn’t have the 25+km range to deal with NATO CAS.
F-15E can equip 26 stand-off ground attack weapons, which tells me you’ve only ever played Soviets and never researched anything before posting.
I don’t think he’s defending it Alvis. He’s been asking for nerfs for 2 days now
