The protection difference between these 2 is quite significant, virtually all apfsds that face it will pen the hull, even theapds on the chieftains, the t72 does stop 105 dm 23 and even ofl f1, which is a pretty popular round even at br lower than it.
I dont think that a second of reload outweights a better protection and the laser range finder(btw for a 9.3 it does make a difference as almost all vehicles at 9.3 does have a LRF)
0.1s if you consider that a buff the yes technically it got a “buff”
For the T-64B it should do, 6s autoloader is a decent upgrade over the current one, so 10.0 is definitely warranted, for the A though, I don’t think it should go up.
The T-72A and M are 9.7 material anyway and need to go up
As u said the diffrence is only at the ufp and only against strong apfsds and also its a volumetric hell so no one aim for it regardless
And u can manage not having auto lrf just use it manualy yes its a diffrence but not so big
U rly Underestimate 1 sec reload buff
Look at type 90 for exmple how good it is only bcuz the 4 sec reload compare to the avarage of 5-6 (here is 6 compare to 7-8) or the french 7.7
the difference is against weak apfsds… the mbt 70 apfsds can pen the hull of the t64a and it is one of the weakest at this br…
the type 90 have an extremely hi mobility for an mbt and the french autoloaders at 7.7 does not have a reload difference of 1 s for its peer, but closer to 4s, thats not the case on the t64.
It is a big difference, specially if you have to fight at long range or have to use he, keep in mind that you have to compete agaisnt vehicles that have it.
Not to mention that you also lack other stuff like smoke granades or the .50 cal which even if they are situational they are a disadvantage.
I think we can put the T-64A to 9.7 if Gaijin give them the 1979 upgrade, which is basically similar to the T-72A. Basically look like the T-64B without ERA.
Its similar ratio and t64 is also pretty fast for the fact it has nice armor
Yes cuz u he someone so frequency be fr
The lack of 50 cal and smokes is a bit annoying but thats why it gets a huge buff that will more then makes up for it
U dont understand how 1 sec can change things
7.1 is allready pretty nice at this br so 6 sec?
It will be much much better and very much on par with t72a
Probably better at urban maps while t72 will be better at open maps
They decompressed the BR so does it mean we can move both up to 10.0?
Not a single vehicle under 11.3 has been moved up, so no they didnt decompress this br
Anything but fixing mid tier BRs tbh seems like gaijin thing
Maybe
I will say that in the current state t64 will be 9.7
But ofc we need the vehicles around to decompressed too
Look at these documents that are about the T-72 https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/DOC_0000498195.pdf
I think you mean T-72A…
See what i commented on
Maybe when the Leo 1A5 is 10.0
Yea ofc
All 9.3 will move up to 10.0 or 9.7 if gaijin decompress
it look like the reload time wasn’t buffed
Yep
Probably for the best
T-64A got reload buff but this isnt enough for own br. With 7.0 reload time 9.0 br better for him.
It has a 6-second reload now. if it was the 1972 version, it would have been in 9.7
