It’s simply very difficult to play against a nation that has tanks that are extremely difficult to penetrate. And the BMPT Terminator was simply the finishing touch.

Most of the Russian high/top tier tanks were not overly hard to kill, they were mostly just skill check vehicles to differentiate between the decent and mediocre playing.
It’s only the BMPT that is now very problematic, before that most russian high tier MBTs for the last 2 years were just average.

Yes, of course. Tanks with broken multilayer armor, damage to which is determined by the coin toss method. Soviet tanks are the only ones with a 180-degree turret protection, 300+ mm of side armor, and complete shrapnel protection. They have the strongest gun mantlet, and spall protection throughout the entire tank.
I consistently one shot the soviet MBTs when I hit their common one shot kill spots. So that loops straight around to the skill check part of my post.
decent players will absolutely farm them while worse players will struggle against them and call their armor op.
Also to make it clear to other people just in case, I’m specifically talking about the high tier Russian MBTs here. The BMPT is a slightly different story.
I forgot my old favorite. The VT5. Despite being unfinished, it’s great.

Which is easier to kill? A tank without armor or a tank with complex, multi-layered armor that has very small vulnerable spots that you have to hit on the move from 500 meters away. And don’t forget that a Soviet tank will be moving and traversing its turret, and you’ll be aiming for vulnerable spots that are very small.

Easier to kill for you or me?
This answer will probably trigger you, but after all this time I barely notice a difference anymore between most of the tanks I’m fighting. That is both a blessing and a curse.

I’m now noticing half the team ‘J’ ing out at 10.7 when they see they are up against Russia. With these and the ‘possible’ buffs to lower front plates of T series tanks… Nice way to break a game. So, Russia V Russia for 10.7 up? :)

The more I read about this shtshow the more I’m glad that I decided to stick with grinding new top tier jets.
Was planning to grind new Chinese Sam system and finish couple other tanks but looks like I’m gonna stay away from ground for a while.

Okay, I want to watch a replay of you fighting on the top tanks against Soviet MBTs.
Not everyone here is an esports player. And it’s not about skill. It turns out that if I play well and get frags, but my team plays average and can’t accurately target the weak spots of the Soviet MBTs, we lose. Because to play against the top Soviet tanks, you need skill.

Yeah and this is where the issue is imo. I can win like 3 seperate 1v1s or 1v2s vs russian tanks just fine, but at the same time you have the 4 horsemen of skill issue (aka 4 random teammates) a couple hundred meters from my location fighting and losing a 1v4 vs a random T-90.
We are playing a team game where you can’t even trust your team to be able to actually play the game.
And the Soviets might be bad players, too. It’s just easier for them to target the Abrams’ weak points—or rather, they don’t even need to aim, and their armor is more forgiving.

Oh they absolutely are.
NATO mains are bad and often are overly scared while Russian mains are bad and have the tendency to be way to overconfident.

Oh yeah. I’m currently playing as Israel on 10.0, and my main tactics are flanking and hiding. Because I don’t want to meet a Soviet tank head-on.

BMPTs can just bum rush the Jaguar/Puma and they literally can’t do anything lol, and there are people saying this thing needs buffs or that it’s okay as is at its BR. I wish Gaijin would fix Puma(s) and actually make BMPT external belts explode…

video shows Bmpt simply holding W and rushing straight into our base without any hesitation there is no positioning no tactical play just a full push while tanking multiple hits and wiping the team this kind of play should be very hard to play but they just holding W and spamming 2x 30mm and 4 tandem missile
