I miss the old days when the M1A1 and the IPM1 were at 10.7 the AH-1W would have been a ridiculous combo if had been around then.

[@Skygytb]

Now F4e still great combo at 11.0.

[@matts2208]

I think 11.0 is still really good. a lot of people play 10.0

[@rodneycook3674]

Yet the t90a sits at 10.7 with a top tier round, lws, and really good thermals.

[@matts2208]

@@rodneycook3674 the Abrams has pretty much a top tier round, great speed, okay armor, and a 5 second reload. M1a1 better in almost every aspect

[@memeoverlord908]

After your 20km bomb video, I went out of my way to try to get it. I ended up hitting it on a Pantsir in the F16A. Very fun challenge thanks for bringing it into the light. Also I would love if you went back and played the F16A again for some CAS.

[@Hunter_i86]

Sure man, congrats! I love F-16A Block 10, will definitely go back to it, I like it more than F-16C.

[@memeoverlord908]

@@Hunter_i86 I have to agree, the airframe along with the TV guided GBU's are much more satisfying than the laser pod munitions.

3:35 That "AVR" guy is the epitome of headless-chicken-aim FPS game player making migration to WT and wants the maps to be shoe closet size. Modern vehicles are meant for Modern long range engagements. You Want CQC? Play Gundam games. And holy hell! You ripped and teared through their ranks. It's like watching Noble 6 last stand on Reach. 👏

[@ActuallyNotIlmatar]

I really like the new layout for tanks on this map, but man I miss the cover that helis used to have here. Besides the crevice on the south side left of 1st helipad, you pretty much gotta use the 2nd pad on both sides, unless you want to be vulnerable to a sneaky SAM site. Edit: I guess I'll start using your point west of the battlefield a bit more, I like it a lot.

[@Hunter_i86]

They could implement the new changes without decreasing the size but they can't, they can't leave the grid square 500m, and they can't leave an empty area behind the spawn for arty and SPAA vehicles to maneuver. They have a disease in their minds called "SMFTTB", which stands for: Shrinking Maps For Top Tier is Better.

If you didn't notice that enemy team using Premium Leo 2A4 Like the whole team. I been struggle playing 10.0-10.3 BR fighting with bunch of premium 1 line up tank.

[@usedcarjockeyjockey6625]

Good video as always Hunter. Do you find US 10.3 or 11.0 the most comfy now? I’ve more or less given up at top tier as US and trying to find a home to play my Abrams…

[@Hunter_i86]

The very top tier 12.7 is ok if there wasn't such spam of Fox 3 carriers, it is also a mess because tanks and planes BR should be equal, it made 11.3 a sweetspot though, you can get a lot of down-tiers if you played 11.3 now with any nation. 11.0 is special for CAS, you have diversified Maverick B carriers, supersonic with no thermal and subsonic with thermal, F-4E and A-7K. Also M1A1 after 5 seconds reload buff and proxy HEATFS became a fantastic tank. However, 10.3 will always be more fun and satisfying to me because of M1 Abrams mobility & A-10 Warthog Maverick buff, even in Ground SB it is wonderful. Thanks :)

[@rifroll1117]

Hi Hunter, hope you’re recovering well. As a viewer request, I was hoping you could do some Vietnam era CAS. Initially I was specifically thinking of the F-111 going supersonic but I get that it’s not everyone’s thing so alternatively the A-4E Early would be cool too 😬

[@Hunter_i86]

moving target, not steady terrain, ping delay, manual aim .. all are factors as well, I think with low zoom ATGM sight choppers it is better to leave it without manual adjust.

I would care about it if the majority of top tier maps were like Maginot Line, Sands of Sinai and Big Tunisia, alas such maps are minority.

[@tracerghost00]

What's your opinion on all the drastic changes to the BR's. Do you think it's justified or is it too extreme?

[@Hunter_i86]

I loved the separation of BRs between Air and Ground RB concept, however applying it wasn't very satisfying to me, I was hoping that Mirage F1 will witness a BR reduction in Ground RB, alas that didn't happen and it stayed at 11.3 and will continue to face Pantsir S1 with unguided armament.
