That’s true but that issue is not unique to the Sa’ar even for 9.0
The IS-2 and T34 are overrated, especially the IS-2 1944 you only get 200 mm of pn compared to the Tiger 2 with 243 and the T26E1-1 with 211 which my rounds have bounced many of time while using the IS2 plus the armor is mediocre at best. A 76mm sherman can just shoot your lower plate and its over compared to the big guns you face at 6.3 and 6.7 when they have 3 easy places they can just shoot you (lower plate, cheeks, cupola). The long relaod on top of that with the slow traverse rate it feels like your controlling a Iowa class battleship. Same issues with the T34 but at least the T34 has pen and turret traverse and armor its at least good not in the way how I see players saying its the best thing in all of the game when its just another glorified IS-2 but if it was “upgraded”

yak-3 (4.3) should be 4.7 (dead on, since yak-3P feels pretty well balanced), overperforming russian yaks from that 4.3 to 4.7 range that they just become rarities compared to how common the yak-3 is, even more considering it’s repair cost is below average compared to other props from said battle rating.
sir I was once in a dc call with similarly wrong people, and proved them wrong in real time by getting a 6 kill match then and there.
Cope and seethe.
me then i rage bait
Idk man. I spaded it first thing after the update came out and found it to be broken levels of good. The complete opposite of bad. It is very mobile with a great gun that only struggles with Tiger 2’s frontally. I counteract this by flanking and only engaging them side on. This is my new favorite T-34 in the game and I found it to be better than all of the other 85’s.

ice cold arctic take
In general I think people heavily underrate high ROF. For example, I heavily prefer the shermans to the pz IVs, the NATO 105 to the RU 100(if they were on the same chassis), etc. Really the only time this depends in autocannons since sometimes the higher ROF autocannons straight up can’t pen tanks(looking at you, Marder A1-) but in general I also prefer autocannons with a higher ROF.
I have two things!
Modern tanks with composite armor were a mistake. Now we have tanks that we lack details for to be able to give them their correct performace.
Tech tree’s with copy and paste tanks. I.e. China, France ect
its not hot take, i hardly believe someone thinks IS-2 is a good competitor to Tiger 2 or T34.

It is a huge leap forward with power creep and game balancing difficulties, but the game wouldn’t really thrive at all if we only just stopped at the M60, Leopard 1 for the U.S, Germany, Chieftain for Britain and maybe the T-55/T-62 for Russia.

I said it once, and I will say it again: Great Britain, with the South Africa sub tech tree line, was the first and only best implementation ever for a sub tech tree in War Thunder. The copy-pasting sub tech tree shared tech craze really started to go downhill IMO right when the developers added Finland to Sweden, along with their own Leopard 2s, while Sweden already had the Strv-122s for a pretty powerful lineup.

Game didn’t need to stop there, but they sure as hell needed to put more effort into those ranks, like filling them out more with more unique play styles and vehicles. They bum rushed to the point we are at in ground now, primarily because of aircraft. They wanted to start pushing out the highly requested more advanced aircraft because that’s what the people wanted, and also because they could sell those higher ranked aircraft for more money with relatively no opposition. This is why aircraft have a BR of 14.3 and ground is only up to 12.7, because they didn’t put enough effort into ground to keep it on par with air, this is also the reason we just got updated SAM systems this year, instead of the year prior when they were needed. They need to take a pause on adding more advanced tech, and focus on fattening up lower ranks.

same happened with fleet. Them didnt make it great before adding vehicles - they rushed it to the Yamato, Sovetsky Soyuz and others and then started doing the gameplay features.
I have another hot take. T20 is a bullshit tank. But somehow i cant prove it underperformance.
Can probably count on one hand how many times I’ve seen a T20 in the 582 games I’ve played as Germany 7.0 since August. And I’ve had my fair share of downtiers. Seems to be quite rare.
no shit it is rare, as it is practicaly a 6.3 Sherman from 5.3 but smaller. I dont get it how i manage to obtain kills with it as it sounds crazy - playing sherman against king tiger on a regular basis. Its so bad that regular players just dont play it anymore.
I guess it’s a legit hot-take since I’ve only ever heard people say good things about it. Almost purchased it in the recent sales, lol.
