Its just another powercrept premium since the beginning of New Power. Moving on.

it was a set of documentation about the AV-8B that had been available for free as a .pdf since AT LEAST 2009. but gaijin mods are illiterate and the community is even more illiterate
 
It's not top secret nor leaked, it's literally the first result when searching: manual for the AV-8B and TAV-8B Harrier jets. Apparently it's "export restricted" which i don't really know what that means when you can't really "export restrict" PDF files. Anyways, not secret, not even that difficult to obtain, pretty much publically availible information. The media just wanted a engaging clickbait title, that's all, total nothingburger.
 
People whining about "Soviet bias" are probably only focusing on a singular aspect of the game. Meanwhile m4 Shermans absolutely curbstomp low tiers (more than t-34s) and Germans get magic panther armor that us 90mm can't penetrate.

Low-tier Shermans are the only real bright spot in a roster that's otherwise dismal to mediocre and any joy at playing them is shattered not soon after once you go from shooting at Pz IVs to Panthers, and it never, ever gets any better.

The USA also seems to be especially neglected for fixes, with even the best-researched and sourced reports being put in purgatory for years. I'm still mad at how long it took Gaijin to realize the USA put down tank speeds in mph and not kph when it came to the Sherman's stabilizer limits.

I kinda have to disagree. At least in AB. The jumbo 75 is godly and you get 2 of them. The m36 is great. M4 76s are fairly effective and are 5.3 instead of 5.7 like in RB.

My largest gripe nowadays is T33 being cucked that it cannot penetrate a panther ufp except at literally point blank range.

Both the m26 and t-44 don't feel .7 br over the main panther lineup, and panther gets over performing armor.

Eh, 75 Jumbo is in a decent but not good place IMO, and the 76mm tanks are consistently overtiered. The Sherman Jumbo isn't better than a Panther and the Easy Eight definitely isn't equivalent. The T23 lost its stabilizer, the M26 was moved up to the same BR as the Jumbo and the long 90mm one, the long 90mm has twice the reload time and less pen than either the German long 88 or the Soviet 100mm, the Super Pershing is a joke since that frontal armor is deadweight with mere structural steel on the hull and with exposed turret cheeks, plus the long 90mm that's just terrible.
 
Yeah....idk. Might just be an RB thing because in AB most of it works just fine.

I disagree with the long 90 being terrible, it's pretty good on the m26e1.

I'll admit I never play the super Pershing though, just personal preference. The m6 105 works better for me.

M26 is overtiered and both it and the t-44 need to go back down or have viable solutions to panther ufp.

Nah, somewhat Russian iirc. Despite that they give other nations cope buffs, sometimes significantly. Even at the expense of Soviet equipment having less than historical performance at times.

Originally from St. Petersburg, Russia (same as Battlestate Games, devs from Escape From Tarkov), but has moved HQ to Hungary to evade tax.

The long 90 isn't terrible since it has decent pen and good post-pen, but that reload sucks to use since a single missed shot hurts.

The M26E1 also gets a version that's a bit over a second faster to reload compared to the Super Pershing while having much better mobility, especially in Arcade where it gets increased top speed and horsepower boosts from being a medium tank compared to the Super Pershing being a heavy tank.

Yeah, the Super Pershing sucks total ass because it has the power-to-weight ratio of the King Tiger despite not having the armor or cannon of the King Tiger.

So, congrats on your wallet-warrioring, at least!
