Hot take: the Harrier gr.1 after power creep is now one of the worst planes in game in air realistic
Would be more accurate to call this a tepid position, frankly.
Only issue was that the bug wasn’t occurring 100% of the time, my missiles would hit and do nothing while the enemy’s would still kill me.
The Sav m/43 (1944) is better at 1.7 than the Pvlvv fm/42.
The MiG-29s are fun to dogfight in.
Not good, but fun.
The AMX-30B2 BRENUS is an excellent tank at 8.7. Despite of it’s drawbacks, like: fixed 10x zoom, no stabilizer and slow reverse shifting speed while going down hill, it’s still a good tank due to having: an active protection system, explosive reactive armor, 20mm coax and a decent round. The mobility is decent as well.
Though there are some bug reports about the ERA and the 20mm coax.

(Please make it 8.3🙏)
T95E1 being same BR as BRENUS would be mad funny. Like, it is funny now that such PoS sits merely 0.4 BR below BRENUS, but if they were same BR it would be funnier.
The Pvlvv don’t look to great. It only has 2 crew and no armor. I have spaded it, but I can’t remember anything about it. The Sav '44 on the other hand is an absolute menace at 1.7, truly underrated. It is a Swedish low tier vehicle though which automatically means its underrated.
Usually people think the opposite, that the Sav cant pen and its mobility is bad while the Pvlvv is a low tier ifv and super op with its auto cannon. Personally i could never stand the Pvlvv. I get why people would like it but it never works as well for me as it apparently does for them.
Im gonna have another hot take - addition of self-propelled howitzers and its consequences has been a disaster for warthunder and people asking for then are lunatics.
Low BR howitzers are annoying but are nowhere near cancerous as modern LRF equipped howitzers sitting at and around 7.7.
I sure do love playing long range map such as sands of sinai in my M103/Conquero and get constantly sniped from across the map with vehicle that not only invalidates all of my armor but also has pinpoint accuracy.
The T58 is more fun to use with HESH, and I actually perform better using HESH as my primary round. I’ve only run into problems when I face an Object 279 (go figure, hitting the cupola does nothing). Not as hot of a take as a guy I saw saying he only used its APHE, in my opinion at least.
Personally love it
aft09 is wife material
They said hot takes. Everyone would marry the AFT09 if they could. Until they add AFT10, anyway.
Hot take (maybe): The WZ305’s HE-VT is way more useful and reliable than the PGZ09’s AHEAD rounds will ever be.
i feel like AHEAD rounds suffer from the same wound that 88mm TimeFuze does (it explodes in a place where aircraft is no more as they constantly speeding)
when i first got it, i thought it would overpower the HE-VT but i think its the other way around, before BR change WZ305 was the best AA period but now underperforms against ally missile let alone in realistic due to it’s lack of radar (i heard there is a proxy fuze variant from a different country which actually has radar IRL)
wz305 is the best spaa in game
Ka-52 is not handheld and has not been handheld for about 3 years or more
The M1A2 SEP is amazing but the SEPv2 is garbage
