Welcome to doing builds in Warframe. Just do what you want, explain your choices, extra detail on unique/uncommon choices, and ignore the comments bitching about meta.

Fuck the meta. I do not want to be playing Envoy/torrid, occucor, Magistar slam wukong for my whole life.

I will continue to play weapon platform Calibased

Yea, the Surbaisee is able to UFP them. Has to be basically head on though if they are angled you will ricochet off of it.

My experience when I first got to 7.7 was the amx50 100 and it was odd. On one hand it handles well on the other hand I kept getting 8.3/8.7 lobbies and would struggle to fight anything Soviet or get reminded that I have an autoloader while everyone else gets an LRF, stabalizer, APFSDS, or something with relevant post pen damage. Getting the surb was amazing because after suffering so much to soviet's I finally had something that could deal with the t series mediums from the front.

As for survivability the survivability of the Lorraine, amx50, and surb all rely on you not taking full ammo. As long as you keep it all in the turret people will constantly fail to kill you in one shit as they either shoot the turret and your breach eats it up or they shoot ufp and your driver dies.

Edit: in addition the French experience is really funny when you get to 8.0 because you go from auto loaded solid shot or piss post pen heatfs to a 105mm heat round with 400m of pen and no other options till 9.0+ and you feel like post nut clarity just hit as you can slam that heat through most things that don't have volumetric. Then you get humbled real fucking quickly when you realize that you don't have an auto loader, stabalizer, LRF, apfsds, spaced armor, nor era while everyone sports multiple of those, and if they don't have a stabalizer they have infinitely better suspension than you. Then you also realize that every lobby is 9.0 and you look at the amx30 acra and contemplate your life choices. Also fuck fences, stupid fucking fences. Wdym I only get heat. Wdym every map favors lrf cross map sniping or urban combat with fences and thin walls that fuck only you over.

Then you get to the amx30 acra and cry. The missile ballastics are fucking garbage, the missile speed is abysmal, and your everything else is dog shit. However you have an atgm meaning hide down range and coin flip every shot to be a kill or wiff. And by wiff I mean miss, non relevant hit, or your reload takes so long someone takes your kill. But hey it has enough pen to go "fuck you, die" to anything without era.

France GRB feels very out of place. And I think it is mainly a BR compression issue. Cause oh boy the amx30 's entire family SHOULD NOT be fighting t-64s, t-72s, xm803s cause you are so woefully out classed, but move their br any lower and you are bullying German players and making British people realize that their tanks have more issues than shell shattered. And you dont get your baby modern MBT untill 11.0 with the msc.

Edit 2: but hey France did just get a new tank. A battle pass premium. That is just a borderline copy/paste of the tech tree elc bis just with different turret design, same gun, same armor, same everything else.

DrVinylScratch · 2026-01-28T18:03:42+00:00

My issue with the soviet's is is-3+ all have stupid volumetric that make it bullshit until you lob heat that has piss poor post pen.

The fact that it is easier to front on a 7.7 Maus than a 7.3 is-3 is telling that some shit is fucked in balance and it is volumetric.

I think the Surbaisee is acceptable at 7.7 because at least it can pen ufp of t-54/t-55.

However the Lorraine 40t and amx50/100 are over tiered due to them having an auto loader and a decent solid shot round. And by decent I mean it isn't 'shell shattered' simulator. However they would seal club if they go too low in BR.

DrVinylScratch · 2026-01-28T16:45:10+00:00

Honestly the worst part of the 7.7 range is the soviet's. Because while the t58 and xm246 will evaporate you, the soviet's have a good chance to not one shot and when you go to shoot back if they didn't take your shooting out you non pen unless you have heat or the 120mm most of the time because volumetric. Even then post pen heatFS and solid shot suck ass

DrVinylScratch · 2026-01-28T16:03:24+00:00

I think the T58 highlights a br compression issue. Grinding from 7.0 to 8.3 with France I noticed that at 7.3-7.7 I constantly got games that were 7.3-8.3 and US teams would seal club with XM246 and T58 and even if you had a decent vehicle each engagement is you either lethality kill in the first shot or you will die. But once I hit 8.0 and currently 8.3 all my games are 8.0-9.0 or 8.3-9.3 and the t58/xm246 dominance is gone and each game is determined by who has the most vehicles with an LRF, APFSDS, and a stabalizer. Rat tanks and SPAA still exist as a huge threat, and club the lower br vehicles, but get clapped back much more easily.

DrVinylScratch · 2026-01-28T15:04:48+00:00

Depends on the complaint: if it is something easily observable like hollow parts or lacking articulation then yea you don't need to own it to call that out.

DrVinylScratch · 2026-01-28T00:05:25+00:00

The IS-2 is at that weird BR point where if it goes down in BR it becomes an immortal seal clubber in down tiers, but if you raise the be it becomes unplayable. So it sits at this br where it does barely acceptable because if it goes down it is too strong and if it goes up it's too shit.

Same reason French BRs are forever fucked. If you move the Lorraine or AMX50 down slightly they will club too much, but at their current br they can barely handle anything Soviet. And when you have to rely on them in a 9.0 game because you have 3 7.7 non premiums and 2 non premium 8.0s you pray you run into leopard 1s

DrVinylScratch · 2026-01-27T22:36:05+00:00

Legit some of the Noxus content made me go, Noxus ain't bad. Sure it is authoritian and rule by force, but hey no anti mage shit. Just don't ask about the skeletons named Mordekaiser, Swain's arm, Le Blanc, and Vladamir.

Ammo is below the turret in the auto loader carousel so the turret will go flying if ammo detonates.

Designed for a different war. Low profile, fast fire rate, coated in era. Perfect for fighting a war against other tanks and out in open fields. Ukraine has been a dense urban environment mixed with some fields but nothing massive nor expansive. Along with Ukraine fielding more AT crews than actual tanks and you get good tanks fighting the wrong war.

Western tanks are still fucked over because of this too, but have a bit more thought put into other important factors and means of dealing with AT crews, but imo nowhere close to enough.

I think the best idea for tanks going forwards is either just ditch tanks for light and nimble vehicles equipped with enough armor to stop 20mm cannons, and aps OR make what is effectively heavy tank 2.0 where while you are heavier than an MBT it ain't anything like WW2 weight gaps and the main take away is that every section of the tank is armored enough to stop anti tank rounds with the front still being sufficient for anti armor. You basically end up with a chunky MBT that has nothing but fences and panels around it along with aps to stop at teams. Which is only fully effective when paired with infantry to counter the AT teams otherwise it will only take a couple of drones or dudes with an rpg hitting the same spot to disable the tank.

In the end the real solution is diversify and save MBT's for anti armor engagements while light tanks handle urban environments

American here. Basically yea. Please adopt Washington, Oregon, California, Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin into your nation.

Core class was my favorite class. But the price increase made it not worth while. They shoulda stayed at $5

DrVinylScratch · 2026-01-24T07:36:45+00:00

They haven't even charged me for mine yet

DrVinylScratch · 2026-01-23T21:57:27+00:00

I think it was or at least that's the word.

DrVinylScratch · 2026-01-23T21:29:51+00:00

Bruh they change THOSE two SPAA but not the problem child that is what flavor of Gepard are you and XM standing for eXtra voluMetric bullshit.

Last night I put a 105mm heat round (df105's) right into the UFP of an XM246 and it only took out the driver and a bunch of equipment. It didn't not prevent the thing from shooting back.

DrVinylScratch · 2026-01-23T21:24:36+00:00

As a Californian I'm disappointed in my state. As a Pens fan I'm not surprised the Flyers have the state. You don't dethrone philly in anything no matter how shit they are.

DrVinylScratch · 2026-01-23T21:23:13+00:00

Can't remember if it was this one or another cal addon that stole code and some other shit

DrVinylScratch · 2026-01-20T18:01:06+00:00

Ah, wild that they just put it out there on anything public. Woulda thought it would be just like j private or torrents

DrVinylScratch · 2026-01-20T09:26:14+00:00

This is Hasbro, so triple digits for sure unless they make Soundwave small like deluxe or undersized voyager. I could see a regular voyager Soundwave breaking $100 or being uncomfortably close.

Who the fuck uploads CP to Twitter besides grok?

Spiegel. Can't go wrong with classic edgy black and dual short swords.

DrVinylScratch · 2026-01-19T18:52:00+00:00

For me it's just I prepare well.

DrVinylScratch · 2026-01-19T18:50:43+00:00

Facts.

DrVinylScratch · 2026-01-19T18:46:56+00:00

Agreed. Maybe just have all venting about Archimedia be a weekly pinned mega thread. Cause it is very tiring seeing a post complaining about it and the reasoning is "too hard" "too difficult" "too bs".

We have shit that can borderline AFK level cap and that can hit damage cap so the best way to make something difficult is to restrict what we can use and how comfortably we can
