What happened to ATGMs?

[Randomuser2024]

They feel like they have less maneuverability than french tank rounds.

They do, they nerfed them again under realistic claim, But their far to inaccurate for realistic not to mention the random slam into the ground or spinning that doesn't happen unless someone didn't maintain the equipment. They also nerfed it's damage. The real reason was due to complaints that atgm's were to powerful. Even though shells are ohk even at 4km unless you hit specifically the engine. So, yeah.

They nerfed them to the dirt for no good reason.

They made the ATGMS completely trash. Already all ATGMS are super underpowered, and now they are completely impossible to manover. 1 inch misses do 0 damage even when the target is very lightly armored. In real life, 30~kg ATGM missed bradly by at least a few meters, and it blew up no problem. In war thunder, the atgm could directly hit a bradly and not consistantly destroy it. Completely unrealistic. Not even mentioning gaijin gets their explosive power completely wrong. For example on the mi28v, the struma atgms explosive warhead mass is 2.47kg, in real life it is more then double that.
Add onto that, 2.47kg explosive mass in war thunder doesnt do not nearly as much damage as it would do in real life.
then we have the urban high player density maps, makes ATGMS completely and utterly useless.

I don't know. My Strv 104 with ERA on the hull was hit by the IT-1's missile, the 3M7 Drakon with 5.4 kg of HEAT, it blew up easily. I have been hit by 3M7s a few times lately, and each time, my tank just blew up even with ERA.

Took me some getting used to with the maneuverability, but I got it down. The damage seems to have been lowered, idk why since basically any other vehicle outclasses atgms

It would have been much more reasonable for Gaijin to just say they increased the alcohol blood levels for the ATGM operators.

[SadlyItsDaniel]

just when a person thinks they are safe from the T-54 because of its uselessness gaijin surprises ATGM users once again and makes it useless as the T-54.

FIX. THE. ATGMS.

They are so unpredictable, even when standing on level ground, they can just crash into ground on launch.....sometimes when wanting to shoot them at helicopters, they just veer off and explode. And most of the time, they just don't want to change directions, same when firing them from a slight slope up, especially on the BMP-2M, they just crash into the ground...

How to fix them? Revert the changes, they were fine and balnced before the update La RoyaleBreak.
Same with tank smoke shells, grenades and ESS. It's so bad now for several months, you changed thing that worked perfectly and broken it, same as the ATGMs...

[Bu3(SW)]

I agree with this 100% ATGM's are too broken now for most ATGM vehicles to use.

Nope even bad with Russia.

[Szproto the fish |]

well atgm on bmps is now next to useless as 80% time it hits the ground

Actual video of Su 25T shooting down a plane with a "Vikhr" missile: (obviously shot through the Shkval targeting system)

You can see exactly how the missile "tracks" the beam.

For more up to date videos, including of Vikhr-M missiles, you can watch videos of Ka 52 from Ukraine.
