You are talking to Demokrat. I don’t think you’ll ever get a response that isn’t 99% skill issue based.

Sure, all that qualities make Abrams an absolute powerhouse (hell, even the 10.7 one absolutely stomps IMO), but in general play, ie. not tournaments, smaller weakspots are absolutely thing to consider.
Since it now has MRML the 15C GE can even carry 12x ARH or 10x ARH and 2x IR.
Holy freaking cope.
I’m actually losing braincells with every Demokrat take I read.
While in general I agree that it’s a thing to consider. It’s clear that an MBT that only has small weakspots as an advantage isn’t even close to the top of the MBT rankings.
Which is why the Abrams are generally better than the T-90M at top tier.

Sure, its other disadvantages offset the advantage of small weakspots; but you cant argue that smaller weakspots are worse than large weakspots.

His point is not about the mechanics of the BR and the matchmaker, it’s a point about human player behaviour. Of course everyone could already uptier the Terminators before, the question is, were they doing it?
Usually you uptier a vehicle if you have an incentive. It can be a positive incentive (I want to do le funny stuff with a low tier vehicle) or it can be a negative incentive (the 6.7 German lineup doesn’t have many high mobility options so I uptier the JPz 4-5 and the PaK Puma to give it more flexibility).
But the average player, who’s not even a forum dweller, will play a vehicle at its own BR 90% of the time. So in practice lifting it to that BR will change the lineup options available to most players using the Terminator.
Look at what happened with the Coelian. As soon as it was buffed you could play it very competitively at a huge range of BRs, but most veteran players returning to give it a try were playing it at 6.3 anyway, because they wanted to play the Coelian itself, the rest of the lineup was an afterthought. And 6.3 Germany is not a stellar lineup.
But after the change? Now that guy’s second spawn is a Panther II or a Tiger II 105.
Just because it could be done before voluntarily, doesn’t mean that it was being done very often.
At first I thought he was an angry guy who just don’t understand about balance at all.
Turns out he doesn’t understand anything at all.

He was talking about the legendary Abram tank. We don’t know its range, since it doesn’t exist, so BMPT may very well have longer range. We can also compare it to Abrahams, which also doesn’t exist, but the name is longer, so who knows.
I think people are very harsh when it comes to T-90M.
Its a solid vehicle that can do its job pretty well, in fact it is my favorite Russian Top tier tank at all(Sorry BVM you’re just ugly compare to 90M).

They essentially made that thing overpressure-proof after people realised that spending 10-15s (depending on vehicle) to switch ammo actually gave you counterplay. (Cant have that afterall)

I think calling the T-90M bad is partially an overcorrection from people who get annoyed by other people, like demokrat, who make it seem like some god tier MBT because they can’t aim against it.
I think it’s a perfectly decent MBT. Not super bad but also nothing too outstanding.
I do 100% agree though with 90M >> BVM in terms of looks.

This is just a side effect to explosions starting from a single point despite warheads being quite long and thick.
Gaijin could of course set the explosion to start from a sphere the diameterer of warhead length and starting in the middle of the warhead but why bother, when we can have one pixel of armor stopping 203mm shell from dealing any damage.
I mean compare to Abram’s armor and spall liners are the only 2 things that saves T-90M, everything else goes to Abram’s.
T-90M’s are armor is really good, in fact its one of the most protected top tier tank in this game but if you take that thing from T90M it becomes garbage at all.

Same goes for people who call the 90M/80BVM broken and everything else are bad and borderline unplayable. It is very funny seeing people looking at these vehicle from one aspect, it is always for some reason the armor , then proceed to ignore everything else.

In fairness. Soviet ERA remains one of the most insane and quite frankly, controversial details of tank modeling.
It is insanely powerful, almost certainly overperforming quite a bit and capable of even stopping tandem warhead AGMs. Meanwhile most NATO ERA is barely able to stop small arms fire.
Also soviet autoloaders still like to just randomly survive direct hits that should have made them explode. Had one the other day, round to the LFP, straight through the autoloader. Nothing, just made it go black
I mean it has amazing armor and small weakpoints so naturally it takes more than randomly aiming to take out T90M and considering average Wt player doesnt know how to aim at weakspots its armor shines most of the time.
If you come across with experienced player they can easily K.O you without too much issue tho.

Depend , I have seen NATO ERA block eating up an entire shell.
This as well can all be contributed toward Gaijin code being shit , same reason why sometime shot doesn’t register or bounce when they are not supposed to. With that being said the T series are not that much of a threat.
Same actually apply for other auto loader as well. Type10/90 and Leclerc come to mind but you rarely shooting those tank in those place and frankly they are just rare so you never notice it.

Most of them will trade their 5 second reload with 6 second reload for proper hull armor and volumetric turret ring, including me.
