The Phantom at 12:30 was going supersonic, which was really smart on his part. The boom as he passed was the giveaway. That's why you couldn't hear him until he passed.

Based on my experience with the t55amd-1 it is 100% effective and reliable as long as the incoming threat is within the specs. But sometimes I have had to tilt the whole tank up to stop a heli from deleting me since the 20 degrees of protection isn't enough for helis that are close.

@g3arjammer837 Год назад

Fun fact: Gaijin modeled this completely wrong. The UM-2 is completely modeled wrong in game for multiple reasons. The UM-2 came out in 98’ which followed the UM-1 in 97’ and the UM from 95. The commander and gunners positions were swapped and included a brand new fire control system as part of the change which more than likely included thermals as new optics were required as the positions of the crew were changed. Also the gun was fed ammunition via an improved type of automatic loading system. The magazine was moved from below the turret to the bustle, at the back of the turret, apparently in response to survivability concerns highlighted during fighting in Chechnya. They wouldn’t have rearranged everything in the tank and improved many systems and not given it thermals. It was NOT based on the T-80U and was actually based on the T-80UM. If you look into the tank at all you’ll realize Gaijin really fumbled the ball with this vehicle and it’s a shame. Remember this is during the time they were looking to modernize a ton of stuff with thermal imagers and possibly have a new MBT. No way a brand new and expensive prototype didn’t feature thermals.

@user-ru9pd6tf4s Год назад

Absolutely, also it should have Drozd-2 APS not Drozd-1. I am 100% sure gaijin does this on-purpose, they stick to low production vehicles/prototypes for event vehicles, but then remove what makes them unique, perhaps out of fear it will be too good. Or they are just lazy..

@araknas3981 Год назад

Welcome to Ape Sex Predators, where all of the new vehicles are modeled wrong! Literally. The F-16s are wrong, the Mig-29 is wrong, the Tornados are wrong, the Strela is wrong, the Gepard 1A2 is wrong, the AMX-32-105 which was touted as having a "faster reload" than the 120 counterpart reloads in the exact same time as well... they fucked literally everything. I'm not even sure why we're surprised anymore. The silver lining is that the new map (Golden Quarry) is actually alright compared to what we usually get, but even there one side's helis spawn *behind* hills and the others *on* hills with no cover. Luckily they also fucked the coding on snow which has the same speed modifier as roads (for now) so snowy maps play well for once. That will change, of course. No fun is allowed in this game.

I skipped the ground grind entirely after getting 1 mark because it was practically infeasible to do in a reasonable amount of time. The air I can at least do a little faster. But both air and ground event vehicles are pointless. I've been playing since 2013, and they are really getting lazy with what the event vehicles are while simultaneously absolutely massively cranking up the amount of grind required to get them. This is the last event I will ever grind. Vehicles are super boring and unimagined and not unique. The grind is just an extra turd sprinkled on top. Not all early event vehicles have been winners either, but man the last year or two have been super boring vehicles.
