Leopards w/ spall liners are way too op

NOOO You can’t say that xD

soon we get hit with some nerf or some magic paper showing up out of nowhere stating ru tanks should fire nukes or spaceships or some bs excuse

(I’m not the best player i know but how come that i could not pen him, well rather get his breach ?.. )

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.

I don’t think so…

This is true, because unlike late T-72 and T-90 vehicles, it doesn’t have the 20mm frontal arc armor plate, it just has the non-spalling carousel box that other vehicles get.

Edit: still prone to it i suppose, but not to anywhere near the degree something like the T-90 is

Looool that explains what happend to me yesterday. I shoot TWICE dm23 trough T64 side, center mass, point blank and NO DAMAGE

It’s mostly because of the angle the shell penetrates it at normal distance.
It often just doesn’t hit the ammo.

No its basically just because it doesn’t have the thicker plate.

T-72A and T-72M1 are both just as resistant yo lower plate shots as the T-80.

In practice it means all spall is eaten by driver and/or fuel tank while the rod is left to do the damage, with the extra plate it means fresh spall right next to the carousel

No reason to. Unneeded.

There is always a reason

Theres many vehicles USSR and others can recieve, that keeps T-14 away.
Also too little actual data on T-14.

Go on type out the vehicles that can be toptier
