The STRV122B+ didn’t got any changes on that regard, also worth nothing it was never adopted by Sweden as well so thats probably the reason why it didn’t got better thermals.

These reasons are exactly why I’m grinding the Leo right now. I’m soooo bored of the BVM, I don’t want to grind a useless side or down-grade Abram’s, and I don’t have the Swedish tree but I’m not excited about grinding my first armor-less, copy/paste Leclerc
I hope Leclerc along with Abrams will get armor fix and spall liner fast as possible they need it real bad especially Leclerc

Exactly lmao
They are too used to shooting tanks with zero armor while being nearly frontally immune, so now that they must face a couple of tanks with similar degrees of armor to their own, they are like “NOOOOO, I AM NOT SUPPOSSED TO AIM FOR WEAKSPOTS LIKE YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO, I SHOULD BE ABLE TO LOLPEN YOU LIKE ALWAYS!22111!!112”

To be completly fair, i noticed some inconsistencies, but it seems to be related on that: Issues with fragments after armor penetration — We’re aware - Official News, Development Blogs and Updates - War Thunder — official forum
Also not related to Leopards, i’ve had some inconsistencies only against Abrams, so oh well. Overall i think the Spall Liner change was a good change, as long as it will be applied to every MBT.

I agree with you, yep!
US has an absolutely terrible top tier lineup, what do you mean? If you’re talking about only CAS then sure I guess but what does the US have in top tier right now that is actually good?
Their best SPAA is the XM975 (which only gets two missiles before reloading, meanwhile the Pantsir gets 12), their best light tank is a whole BR higher than it should be how it is now (I mean how is the 2S38 10.0 but the HSTV-L is 11.0? The HSTV-L has got speed, that’s it. Less rounds, less armor, no AA tracking, no proxy round, and it’s fire rate is twice as slow as it should be), and all of their Rank VIII MBT’s are literally the same tank but the new ones are heavier.
By what logic is any of that a good lineup?

So Russian mains need to do more than hold down W and actually aim for weak points?
That must come as a very unpleasent surprise…welcome to War Thunder :D
The 3BM60 is still a fantastic round that goes through any armor, you just need to aim properly.
Been single shot killed in my STRV122 a couple of times yesterday, so as long as you know where to shoot, you’re fine.

And where you think where word Strv122 came from? even before this update because they have to aim unlike other western tanks that why

Well yea, Russian UFPs and Relict have always been acting as spall liners (especially BVM though).
Firepower didn’t change, gunhandling is the best at top tier alongside the Leo, thermals where Gen 3 before and the BVM is more mobile.
The BVM was already cracked af, T-90M only trades mobility for much better turret armor.

BVM players were always so confident because the armor is great and they could rely on the insane damage model with the side relict.
Also the T-80 is not prone to LFP ammoracks contrary to popular belief.
