Vehicle Hot Takes

Not so much a vehicle itself, but I think people need to stop rushing for top tier and stop only caring about top tier. I never play top tier, it’s way too boring and I find the most fun is when you’re at lower BRs.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions and what they enjoy, but when taking into consideration suggestions or similar, they need to take in the entire game. You can’t say you want 512x512km battles and ignore the fact that you’re not flying that far with a PO-2. I know it’s kinda inferred for the most part but I’ve seen some people who just straight up ignore low tier “Well don’t play low tier if you don’t like my suggestion” what?

The AGS didn’t need to be uptiered to 11.3. It needed M833 before it was uptiered but post-uptier M833 is insufficient for what it faces.

Needs to be downtiered.

Nah the s238 has a good survivability and the auto cannon is strong can take a canon barrel fast and has good post pen the s238 is no where near to being bad I do agree with YouTuber abusing the word op they use it in almost all their videos also not mention that fact it’s he shells for aircraft and irst and 4k nvd

Id say do this test before any game.

Then again it would gatekeep around 75% of the playerbase.

I feel like i am going insane when i see youtubers and randoms call the D20 trash. It’s nothing to write home about but its perfectly serviceable, I got it in the pathway to stars pack and had a good time with it, the only bad part of the plane I noticed were the teams and that’s not an issue with the plane, more an issue of US players lacking experience and knowledge.

Honestly I think the reason people dislike it is because instead of being straight up overpowered like most US planes, its just ok, and because most other US TT/Prem planes are under BR’d and very strong, the D-20 is straight up awful!

Actually that’s my second hot take, that the US air tree is full of ridiculously strong planes, but the average player lacks the brains and the brawns to use them well, for example I don’t think most people reading this with a modicum of experience would disagree that the P39 N-O is absolutely busted and untouchable these days, the P51C is also ridiculous, etc etc

Survivalibity is the same as every other light tank - you shoot it, it dies. Always, guaranteed free frag. And i am always happy to see enemy in it.

And “fast cannon that can take out barrels” - man, it’s the same as every other autocannon. In fact, other autocannons have better rate of fire, so they are better than 2s38 in taking out barrels.

If the 2s38 was actually mobile and fast it would be goated. But what’s the point of playing light tank that is slower than MBTs.

2S38 is bad, i regret buying it, it was nerver overpowered and that’s the hill i am dying on

Leclerc is amazing.

Good point, If I can get the spitfire like this it gives me a way out, how is the Barougan? I flew against one in a stock F2H2 and almost won but whiffed three clean gun solutions which gave him the kill, so I assume its capable enough?

I haven’t really tried out the ouragan but the Meteor NF MK.13 is quite good

those things made my life hell when i was flying the F80A, I’ll give those a try for sure.

I’ve got a few more…

  • The F6F-5N is an incredibly sad plane at ARB 4.3 BR. The F6F-5 is “OK” at 3.3 - even with it’s 2.7 BR performance and guns. They aren’t fast, they don’t climb, and their maneuverability/MRE is only good by U.S. prop standards. There are few planes I like to see more on the other team (and less on my own).

  • The Fw 190s are… in a tough spot. Well, at 3.0 BR the original 190 is “OK.” That same flight performance all the way up to BR 5.0? See the F6F-5 remarks above. The 190 isn’t that bad, of course, but it’s rough in an Anton/Freddie. Really shouldn’t balance A/C around people full sending head ons.

  • If you’re maneuverability beats out most fighters at your BR, you don’t need a bomber air spawn (looking at you SB2-C and B7A2).

Yeah it’s a light tank. Also it has a high chance of surviving for example the Laser Warning System, unmanned turret, no armor but it can survive good amount of heavy machine guns like 50. Cal or 20mm or even sometimes he shells or hesh shells or even just sabot shells pass threw (from the side) also having he-vt is also good thing witch takes out aircraft/heli effectively. The mobility is not the greatest but it’s not bad it’s better then the m3 Bradley

This is true but still doesn’t matter about the fire rate if the 2s38 can one shot barrels and fast firing cannons are gonna have accuracy problems and the 2s38 is better taking out barrels like I said it’s a one shot to a barrel or it’s turning red orange to being broken in 1-2 shots and the great pen of the sabot rounds can go through most tanks/vehicles into the gun breach also damaging it and also having the accuracy/pen to do it from far away granted it probably will take a extra shot

took one test flight for each and quietly shelved them permanently.

The SB-25 is a dumb addition - this game had enough seal clubbing bombers at BR 3.7 without adding another.

AMX-13 (hot) is stupidly over br’d. You’ve got a 7.0 vehicle strapped with hot missiles, they are decent but very limiting since it’s minimum engagement distance is like 500m. The missiles are useless because 99% of the maps are cqb. And with a -6° of depression it’s hard to stay behind a hill and try to use the missiles, not to mention the slow reverse speed that you are forced to use when trying to retreat. The mobility is bad as well, at 8.3 most of mbt’s accelerate faster than you.

And here I thought mars 15 was bad…

The US one yes.

Idek how the Taiwanese one is 9.0.

If you started from the AFLD, there’d be no reason to fly this plane.
