At least there it would fulfill a role by being the best tank in the British tech tree xD
Right now, it just feels pointless and redundant, as it’s handicapped to unhistorical KEW while every other Abrams on its BR range has M829A2 (historically accurate for Iraqi Freedom Abrams tanks, which is what I just learned they are modelled after and NOT Gulf War as I thought)…
What was the point of some of these changes? Some of the vehicles no longer have an equal BR peer in their respective lineup. Take the CV 90105 in Arcade (I know, some are going to say don’t play arcade but being deaf gives me little option for success otherwise) as an example at 10.0. There is no Sweden tank at 10.0 and the CV 90105 is a premium. Players who own it will go out and play the single, die, and leave the match since they either need to take an uptier vehicle or a grossly undertiered tank. What was the point of placing a premium vehicle at a battle rating with no accompanying vehicles in the non-premium lineup? Do you want players with deafness trying to muddle through realistic ground? I know how important sound is to avoiding a massive loss of silver lions. Are you expecting us to buy an underperforming 9.7 premium to give two close enough tanks? Or do you want us to shelve the premium tank we purchased and pray to some higher power an equal BR tank shows up? The “official” reason doesn’t add up when looking at other vehicles I know overperform at their BR were left alone.
I play the MTTD and I almost NEVER get shot there. and I’ve survive a ton of shots in the MTTD that I wouldn’t have in the 105 because people were aiming as if I was a 105, now I will say I get breeched a lot in the MTTD, so there’s that. but I almost never die to a ammo explosion in the MTTD, actually…I’d say I mostly die to bombs and ATGMs lol
they didn’t have one before the patch either, they were 10.0 while the Leo2s were 10.3. now both went up one step. They’re perfectly fine in a lineup with the Leo2s though.
What do you mean they “forgot to move up” most russian tanks? Literally the entire premium 10.0 lineup went to 10.3. Everything from 10.0 upwards except the 2S25M, Strela, and Tunguska went up. And the Strela and Tungi didn’t go up bc every other nation’s SPAAs didn’t go up, either.
they generally don’t “move” vehicles. at best they add them to a different tree and maybe remove them from sale for the previous tree, but everyone who has them keeps them at the nation they bought them for.
I highly doubt they’ll ever do that with a squadron vehicle though.
the same thing happened to most SPAA at 10.0-11.7, for example the Type 81 (C) can now be in the same lineup as the Type 90s again, or the new Antelope can go with the ZTZ96s now. it is not a “russian buff” but an SPAA buff. If anything, russia got the short end of the stick because the Pantsir and ItO are the only top tier SPAA to move up to 12.0.
You are a russian main thats probably because only you see good these changes.
Before the changes:
-Fighting 100% of the battles in full uptier a spam of T-72, 2S38 and BMP-2 but supported by Leopard 2
After the changes:
-Fighting 100% of the battles in full uptier a spam of T-72, 2S38 and BMP-2 but without the support of Leopard 2.
