Valid but that would make the SU30SM2 the more efficient solution then since it can do both CAP and CAS effectively at the same time. For the F15s youre either scaling down on CAS capabilities with the GE or on CAP with the 15E. Thats essentially what i mean when i say that US CAS is behind the curve the best US CAS planes are outdated airframes while everyone else uses multirole top of the line planes
I don’t tend to go that low when i do play at those BRs bar in the dedicated strike platforms, like the JH7A which is extremely difficult to use now adays.
they are superior in short range engagements but you’re not supposed to be in them in these planes, even in GRB, plus the 15s get the aim9M shich being smokeless makes them massively more dangerous in a game mode with no diamonds identifying them.

Eh… Maybe. I find 9Ms so inconsistent at the moment, I rarely ever use them
Outdated ? the F15C we got is a 2010 iteration of them.
Their outdated airframes are literally what they still use right now, the F22 wouldn’t be much different in GRB etiher.
Its still hopelessly outdated compared to 30SM2s, EFTs and Rafales. The F22 wouldnt be great at CAS but the F15EX would make up for the weaknesses of the GE and the E in GRB
Honestly. I don’t think it would. The F15 has a fundamental airframe incompatiblility for such small arenas. The best option for GRB would probably be a late model F-16 with AESA for a multirole
True i completely forgot those exist too. Really depends on the loadout in the end. A fully loaded EX could bring a ton of munition just for distraction and SPAA ammo waste
Not surprised to see that coming from you considering you have no USSR vehicles.
Most “Russian bias” comments comes from people who’ve never even touched USSR.

BMPTs are incredibly balanced now???
Okay, I have heard the opinions of Russian-biased users.
And what exactly has any of this to do with the comment you answered to? Did russia not have the highest 12.7 winrate in december?
Also of course bias comments dont come from people that benefit from it
It proves that you have 0 idea about how bad they actually are because you’ve never tried them, and you automatically assume playing USSR is like the auto win of every match.
Here’s the truth: It isn’t.

I dont know where your obviously barely literate self got that one from but i dont. Use your eyes and read some comments before you write complete nonsense. Something thats “actually so bad” doesnt have the highest winrate at the highest br
Unless you’ve been going against Russia only in every match, winrates are useless metrics for judging “how good a nation is doing”
If there’s like only 1 Russian player in the match and paired with other nations, and the team wins, then it adds to the win count for Russia.
Similarly, if you have 5 Russians in the match, and they all suck and leave and force others to carry the game and win, it still counts towards the win condition.
And even if we go by your arguments of “winrates”, They are high not because the tanks are good, but because their CAS is so straightforward to use (The ERA of OP Russian CAS ended a long time ago but I do agree that Mi-28NM is ruining matches) The tanks are “objectively” bad and flawed compared to a tank of the same BR such as Leopard 2A7V or Strv 122B+.

Which is precisely the same for every nation so whats your point? That you dont understand how statistics work?
Which, if you bothered to use 2 braincells and your eyes, is exactly what i wrote in my comment.
I actually think you don’t understand how statistics work because you keep bringing up “winrates” and yet, it’s easy to see that it’s an unreliable metric to judge a nation’s performance.
Then again play the damn nation first to see how cancerous playing it is, air or ground.

And whats a reliable metric then? The word of some brainlet that cant even properly read comments? Its a good metric, because you can compare it to other nations under the same circumstances more or less
No tanks i have 0 desire wasting time or money playing that nation.
The T80 BVM had 1.9 million games in december. The fact that you really think manipulation like this has a statistical relevance has got to be the single dumbest thing anyone has ever written on this forum. If russia was some obscure niche tree that no one plays then you might have an inkling of a point but its literally the most played tree at top tier so the sample size is big enough to give a proper picture
But you are here insisting russian tanks are the better than others just because of the UFP?
Another guy that cant read.
No im not, im saying that mentioning weakspots as a weakness in russian tanks is dumb since they are the smallest in top tier. That does not mean that russian tanks are better and they, in fact, are not.
barely literate
same can be said about any other OP tank in the game lmao, there’s a reason why russian 11.3 WR spikes as hard as it does and let me tell you its not bc of the T90A or the T80UM2.
you never played any of them and it shows… merks get penned anywhere by anything that isn’t 105 or below and they vaporize, same for leclercs, you can just frontally pen their turret cheeck and ammo rack them or at least take their auto loader. TKX feels not great to play to say the least id take a Leo2, t80BVM or Abrams over it easily, it’s slow has terrible gun handling and paper armor, the 4s reload and good optics are nice but cant make up for all the other issue imo. The Type90 is really good on the other hand if you can overcome the horrid optics and dart but at least it doesn’t trade in all of its mobility like the TKX does. All in all isn’t this just a skill issue thread? The T80BVM and T90M do just fine, they have trolly armor that makes them survive stuff others cant, with the free SPAAs you also gain Pantsirs (yk the SPAA that outperforms most other countries 12.7 SPAAs) while also having the by far most potent CAS in the form of 3 different KH38 platforms (su25, su30sm2, su34) and the incredibly balanced LMURs that are totally in line with all the other munitions we have in game…
Idk as someone who started playing the VT4s all i can say is you dont know how good you have it with the T80 series, and funnily enough the BVM has working ERA, try the oplot, the ERA work maybe 1/10 times and fun fact the BMPT can frontally pen your turret in like 3 spots with its APDS and pretty much insta disable and kill you while you are blinded by the 30mm spam
