Why is the Stormer HVM so bad?

The new year marking 5 years since the Stormer AD was ‘passed to developers’

Might beat the skink in time frame from accepted to added, more importantly i bet it’ll be equally late to the game and just as useless. The 20mm’s feel like they’ve been packed with party popper’s.

But they aren’t even bothering to fix it when it’s been known about for ages. If anything they’ve only made it worse.

Yup. If Stormer HVM was on Germany, it would be 3 steps lower BR, fixed twice over, probably buffed too due to how awkward it was even in its prime.

buahhhhahaha, never heard a bigger joke, our bugs are endless as well. 1 Word Puma, completly wrongly modeled with not even starting talking about the AHEAD, gepard 1a2 stingers were bugged for over 9months as well at least, 2a7v is a joke as well

I mean, there is ‘bugged’ and then there is the state they’ve left the Stormer in. I don’t think there is any other weapon in the game as badly represented as the starstreak. You literally cannot use it for its primary purpose at the moment.

Pretty sure most people consider it the best tank in the game at the moment.

Im not gonan jump on that argument, but expect for 1 update the stormer is broken for nearly 5 years :D
All due to code from 2012… RECODE WHEN? THIS GAME NEED IT. ADDING NEW LINES ON TOP OF THE ORIGINAL CODE WONT WORK FOREVER. I mean it would work in normal situation, but this game keep breaking, it needs it.

and i am not contesting that, but his statement

his completly wrong, no prefered treatment here

that are the unknowing, the 2a7v has massive armor holes in the front of the turret as a bug , you can easily kill it if you know where to shoot, spall liners are bugged as well and dont work right anymore
And that is not me starting on the armor value debate compared to Strv122

The best tank is still the complete Strv122 series, germany got 1 decent tank for once and the flavour of the month effect got the old players intrested in it again to try it out and everyone immediatly starts crying it is an unfair vehicle, which plantly isnt true.

again i wont contest that, its about Traslogan, he could have named USSR and it might be true, but not germany

Well, my post is ventig about the code. While im not a computer programmer (im a PLC programmer) but i ve been around pc programers and the state the game is from the outside hurts me.

Leaving a weapon/vehicle in an unplayable state for this length of time is a level of incompetency I’ve not seen by any other game developer. Makes me question how they claim to balance the game well with statistics. Did their statistics department not notice the stormer efficiency drop off a cliff when they broke whatever causes it to be like this?

They did not, as iirc stormer was broken since day one. Then it was the fastest thing on the map so it was kind of understandable game couldnt handle it, sadly it still cant. It started working for the patch with saclos missile nerf. Whatever was there caused starstreak to not phase at all and to be synced with the server. Than god they fixed it next patch and it is in its current state

2A7V even with it’s missing armor is the best tank in the game overall. Broken leopard side armor that does even more bullshit than relikt bags + External fuel tanks that don’t explode + Ammo that doesn’t cook off + 0 spall. There is only 1 spot where you can 1htk it and it’s very unreliable. Ah and it has the best pen as well.

all of which are found in the Strv122 series with even more armor, the penetration increase is marginable. If you cant kill the 2a7V you are just bad it has so man weakpoints because of bugs it is easy to kill, armor holes in the turret, turret ring placed to high you name it. It is a skill issue on your part.
If the 2a7v gets fixed, maybe it will be the best, but it isnt in the current state, Strv122 and T-90M are the better tanks

I’ve lost count on how many leopards have killed me because they straight up would: non pen a sideshot (bullshit), eat a sideshot (no spall liners), eat a sideshot even more (with spall liners), always end up killing 2, only for the commander or gunner to shoot back. This is my experience spading the t72b3. So i went and played the basic 2a6 after a long time, and it was the biggest point and click adventure, it was just like when they first added the 2a5 and 2a6. I can only imagine how better the 2a7 or the swedish shit is

T90m was the worst reload of all top tier coupled with one of the worse shells and reverse speed. You can guess how bad this sums up.

i’m still having issues with it. only place i dont is the Test Drive, which i’m sure you can probably guess why.

and there we got the problem, angry russian main that isnt dominating anymore.
All the problems are worse in the Strv122 series, the 2A7 is weaker then them. Sorry that gajin ducked up with the implementation of spall liners, was a shitty idea only giving it to the T-90M, backfired realy hard now that they had to give them to everyone and you actualy needing to aim for once with a russian tank, thats skill issue at its finest, literaly what everyone else had to do with russian tanks for a long time

2A6 got no changes it is as shitty as it was before, 2A5/2A6 only get spall liners for the turret , its again Strv122 who gets complete spall liners everywhere. And again you are crying over the T-90M, its a good tank, its even more surviveable then the T-80BVM which was known for its bullshit.
And the T-90M has better penetration then many other tanks, literaly skill issue that you need to aim for once and cant point click anymore

You don’t have any of those tanks lmao…

working towards it, but everyone can see the obvious, you complain about the T-90M without actualy having it as well. And i do fight against all top tier tanks already as well

20k battles, I have played the t90a the reload is the same, it’s only going to be worse at a higher br. I didn’t say the t90m has a bad survivability, but it’s nowhere near leopard levels. As for you, at core such details aren’t obvious in top tier, you will understand once you play 5k+ matches…

have you seen relict
