Time for an unpopular opinion, the Raketenautomat is fine at 7.3

[Archaist]

Now before you call me an idiot or something worse, hear me out. It's got twice the ammo as the U-SH 405 and enough armour to avoid being front penned by a .50 cal, but thats where it's advantages start and end. Despite it's tracks it's power to weight when maxed out is 13.8 hp/t which gives it a offroad speed of 20-30 km/h and on road speeds of 40 km/h. Whereas the U-SH 405 has 15.8 hp/t which given it's tires allows it to speed around urban maps at 60-70 km/h and about half that for offroad. Why am I mentioning this? Both vehicles are glass cannons that require good positioning to use, the U-SH 405 can get set up in an ambush spot before the Raketenautomat can even make it out of spawn.

Anyhow thats just how I'm finding the Raketenautomat so far, it's still a fun vehicle to play but I don't think it's anywhere near the monster people are making it out to be.

20 kph offroad? You sure? Becuse it can go much faster even stock.

Also, it isnt the speed that makes U-SH OP but the firepower.

Raketenautomat having more ammo makes it much more powerful.

Yeah your right, just went and tested it on the test drive and got it up into the 30's, guess I must have been driving it through mud or something in my actual games.

but about the firepower, yes your right the firepower is amazing, downright OP in most instances but I still stand with what I said, the Raketenautomat only has firepower going for it, it lacks the speed or armour to fully make use of that firepower outside of ambushes and flanks.

As far as I can tell the main complaint is that the German one is 7.3 whereas the U-SH 405 is 7.7, to be fair though I mostly pair it up with the Maus and DF 105 anyway so it could go up to 7.7 and it wouldn't make much difference to me at least.

Because Germany, USA and Russia are oversaturated with vehicles, while the minor trees are pretty sparse and in desperate need for a more fleshed out techtree.

ones faster and the other has more firepower sounds equal to me

but what about 7.7 R3 T106 FA ?

There were complaints, they were screamed down by others claiming either being a wheraboo, skill issue or simply being against minor nations having something good. Its the same thing with the Gepard, same weaponsystem on three different nations yet the only OP complaint goes towards Germany. Meanwhile France has the DCA with unlimited APDS belt with radar at 8.3, but you know thats not OP.

It´s a fast aluminum box on wheels with a twin gun strapped to it´s roof. What about it?

I have seen it a few times, It is just like any new light fast vehicle, the bane of blind people who can't see anything on their flanks.

Can't wait to hear them complain when Germany gets a new top tier vehicle.

It will get one after they put the SU-57 stealth jet in the game /s
