USA Top Tier is suffering from the absence of premium IFV/SPAA unlike USSR

,

We all know how big of a problem the premium vehicle spam has become. Especially this is evident for the US mains. Everyone is sitting in the Click-Bait or the AIM and guess what? every single match when USSR goes against USA KA-50 spam is going crazy like never before. USA has just 0 chance to defend itself as it doesn’t have an IFV as a squadron or premium vehicle, nobody has reached the tier where the much-needed SPAA or IFV is unlocked.
Devs have given USSR one of the greatest SPAA/IFVs in the game (2s38) and also one of the greatest helis in the form of KA-50 with counterrotating propellers which guarantees that killing it with ordinary machine guns is just very, very hard, it can fly without a tail without any issues.
What we need is called justice. If USSR does get an IFV with air tracking US should also get one and sadly not in the tech tree but as a premium or squadron as there should be plenty on the battlefield so that KA-50 players don’t see themselves as gods killing peasants on the ground.

they can just use the gun… you have the m830A1 that has a proxy fuze.

Not a strong argument, those guys in KA-50 just sit on top of everyone like ac-130 and pour everything they have. they are so high that elevation isn’t enough to do any pushback

shot them before that they get over you, if you let that happen is your team fault…

Have you even tried that tier by yourself? they try much as they can, but the result isn’t that promising

yes… and having a proxy round is a massive difference, specially against heli rushes and the ones that are moving slowly most nations doesnt even have anything similar to that let alone whith anywhere close to the same muzzle velocity. btw if they hover you basically any spaag at that br can kill them, thats entirely on your fault.

OK the is really just greatly over exaggerated and dramatic. Russia has always heavily invested in anti-air and tanks, this is just what happened. The US has invested heavily in CAS and Air domination. The two countries have two different battle styles. The abrams have proxy fuse heat that can shoot down the heli with out issue, there is nothing stopping you from spawning in an Ah-64 or AH-1W/Z and doing the same thing. Those who heli rush may get a couple kills but they dont stay up for very long.

Russian mains have the same complaint about US when there are 6 CAS planes flying around killing everything in the match. They do not have the same variety of CAS as the US. If you can Find a SPAA/IFV that the US produced, or at least build prototype you can put that in the suggestions and get it voted on.

Not enough elevation
No radar or lead for long range
Limited to one every 5s or more, unreliable damage

Though, averse to what OP is saying, any IFV or SPAA added for higher tier USA must not be premium. LAV-25 and/or SL-AMRAAM Humvee would be a nice start in TT.

i think that you meant elevation…

still a high velocity proxi fuze, alongside the laser range finder is much easier to use that what most nation even get.

If i remember correctly i thing the slamraam was submitted for consideration. its been a while though.

Yeah, I did ;^_^

So other nations should get better, more viable AA/IFV options. Japan has the fairly nice Type 81 (which is missing its ARH missile while at a higher BR than it should be), Russia has a good few options (including the infamous 2S38. Not as absurdly good as a IFV now, but still threatening to helis and slower jets), and I can’t say I’m all too familiar with most other nations.

you can’t do the same at all with the US helis. first of all, as I already said they don’t utilize counterrotating propellers-small damage to the tail and you are dead and secondly, objectively speaking, their unguided missiles are just useless.
I may sound dramatic, but the issue is there, and the general win rate statistics don’t lie

win rate is not a reliable stat to go off.

only if the difference is marginal

if half the team gets killed once and leaves, and the other team keeps a majority of the players after one death and wins, it has no reflection on the vehicles in the game and how they performed. win rate is a useless stat.

that’s the very problem of the line-up balancing which this game is truly lacking, US needs more variety in terms of premiums and people will buy them, no doubt about that. that way 1 death leaver count will be reduced

Look at the one death leaves per side or even the two death leaves do you know what they have in common? they were mostly premium or squad vehicles by lower rank players.

You can hit… but it will not kill ka50

If you hit close enough it will kill him, the ka 50s can tank some damage but they arent inmortal.

You need direct hit, otherwise will not work
Easier to hit with M829
And they still can eat it sometimes
Or just get tail cut(doesnt matter to ka50)
