I loved those tanks but when they were a BR lower with the T-44 at 6.3 and the T54s at 7.3/7.7.
Gaijin always ruins the fun.
Worst has been early French and late French. Basically anything before 7.3 and after 7.7. Even at 7.7 they are artificially nerfed.
Any stock helicopter is torture to grind.
Ah man I forgot about my Mi-4 days that were pre-ATGM. Oof. Good call.
Spading the Mig 21 MF at the time it didn’t have CM pod.
Today? Probably the F-84F. That thing is probably bugged. It feels like someone made a mistake in a decimal point in the air drag value.
Ground forces probably the MAUS. The game is over before you reach the AO and if you manage to reach it, there is already half the enemy team with mariokarts / HEATFS waiting in bushes to ambush you.
Yeah, the Chinese version doesn’t have stabs.
Hunter F.58 before stock flares were added.
Every match was an uptier to 10.7, so you faced F-5Cs in a plane that had 8.7 level flight performance.
The funny thing about it, is that I unlocked flares and aams 2 days before the stock flares were added.
Ngl, my Ct-Cv 105 HP grind still isn’t done and I played it for a while and got tired of only HEAT-FS or Falarick’s, just annoying sometimes. A tandem charge missile with 550mm non-penning the front plate of a T-72 is lovely! But that aside the Sk-60B is about to be not fun, it’s a slow, 7.0 jet, it’s got good guns tho, and not much ammo. It’s gonna be better for ground RB than air RB
Not ground, but meh…
Jaguar Gr1 (not the A)
No bombs, No CMs, No AAMs. You have to gun fight (with the 30mm ADENs which can be tricky), at 9.7, in a strike aircraft, not designed for turn fighting at all. Its extremely hard grind
The Jag is possibly the 2nd best looking plane in the game at least. Behind the Viggen, and soon to be moved to 3rd after the Gripen is added.
Granted, though a real shame we never got the Jaguar Gr3A. Now that would have been strong and it would have actually gotten its hisotrical weapons, not its “balanced” placeholders
Yeah, I’m still a fan of the harriers tho, mainly the sea harrier because of its radar.
F-1? sits at 10.3 with no cms and stock it’s performance is meh.
Yeah, I’m glad the FRS1 is finally nearly finished. I play SB and it’s been pointless in the past year. Just waiting on its placeholder HUD to get replaced. I’m hoping for FA2 this December
German Bulldog is the worst stock grind I have ever experienced so far. Every match is so painful because half of the time my teammates die aftrer I scout and let us get overrun and I cant defend myself cuz APCR can’t pen crap lmao. That aside it isn’t as bad of a grind compared to other APCR stock tanks
Anything with stock APCR. The worst of the worst used to be JPz 4-5, but that received stock hesh at some point.
M1A2 SEP. Stock HEATFS at that BR is a pain to get kills and because of the rank the mods are expensive in terms of xp
I’ve rarely had a more demotivating experience than trying to make the stock BTR-80A work.
One 30mm with 65 rounds was it? Awful FM back in the day too.
Top tier stock heatfs is an absolute nightmare, and there is zero reason for it to exist.
Planes are also really bad with how they can be entirely useless without a number of modules, but air grind is way easier than ground.
If you start a new TT you have either experience based on fighting this nation or you checked the TT for the “best” vehicles in this new tree by doing some research. All of this in order to skip useless/unnecessary vehicles to grind more effective.
So in case a newer player reads this thread he gets not really smarter after reading the provided answers.
The underlying questions should be if you actually need the vehicle you are trying to spade or not.
So i got the point that you get a research bonus for the next vehicle if you try to spade a vehicle and some guys are fans of fully spading all of their stuff, but the benefit/pain ratio is ihmo only relevant if you want to use a vehicle because it is good at its BR and needed for your line up.
