Making Russian Tank Protection more realistic

The only thing I know for sure is T-80U & M1A1 HC are essentially twins.
I can’t speak for everything else, and I’ll admit I cannot see nuances in other things as effectively sometimes.

The best example I can think of with wise to something not quite, smelling right, actually comes from the Bluewater lines.

Most cruisers, especially the premium cruisers, all have their strengths and weaknesses, but on the whole, are about equal. The Zheleznyakov though… Does seem to take an ungodly amount of punishment sometimes. So too do some of the other Russian cruisers. The worst I’ve seen was a Krasny Krym taking about 1000 rounds from my Belfast, a mix of HE and SAP. At point blank range. I turned that thing into a floating wreck. It had no functional modules, but I just could not kill it. Now this was a while ago and I think things have improved a bit, but still. I see either of those, and I know im in for a long duel.

Whether either are 100% accurate or something is very wrong I don’t know, but its just another coincedence.

Just wish they keep things fair, like with15 inch guns have massive (confirmed by tech mods) artifical nerfs for the sake of balance. It leaves anything with 15 inchs actually at a major disadvantage, especially in battleship vs battleship duels. It does leave a fairly unfair fight sometimes as well. Its a shame they dont seem to apply that philosphy anywhere else, Where there is an obvious 1 sided advantage that they artifically nerf

Oh, you should see matches at 4.7 when a Kako is on the enemy team.
Absolutely bullies people.
I get what you mean tho.

Currently trying to spade the Renown. Its impossible. They have actually possibly made it the worst ship in the game right now. You get 1 tapped by Cruisers, not too mention other BBs. And there were dozens of reports about things like her draft being wrong and they’ve been so far ingored. Kronhstadt though is still going very strong, even though its been reported that her guns are likely “too accurate”. But thats what happens when you add a ship that never existed to the game

I’m surprised I don’t see more American Kronhstadts, AKA USS Alaska.
Bit more armor, similar guns. I guess just cause more people have Krons cause it came out sooner.

I only took a stab at Ground Battles and in RB mode but check it out: Data on Nations and First To Get new Technology

Russia gets more tech first than any other nation (Taiwan/china is just baby russia tree) in Tanks and in SPAA.

Or just simple fix make all tank in the game spall like Russian tank do (due to most of western tanks had spall liner) and see how it’s goes

They do.
Fuel tanks slow spalling in all tanks, which is accurate.
And interior armored plates spall, which is accurate.
Spalling is based on armor thickness & round.
Less spalling also makes ammo racking easier due to more on target.
I did another night of ammo racking 100% of the T-80s I came across tonight… it was one cause I was stuck doing a daily task for air.

Im just going to park this here. This was the easiest match I’ve had in a while. We had 3 capped and were camping their spawn within minutes of the match starting. I can see what you mean about Sweden being OP currently

You can give a man an AK, but if they’re bad they’ll lose to a Glock.
You can give players M1A2 SEP, Strv 122s, and BVMs, but if they’re bad they’re gonna lose.
My Type 10 match was easy, but my team did lose.
I ended up with 4 kills, 1 death cause EJ Kai on airfield last few tickets left so eh.
My team was worse.

New Cavenub video tho, more ammo-racked T-series tanks: https://youtu.be/Vm57wUVo4vM

THen I have terrible luck, my teams are god aweful 99% of time. At least when vs Soviet teams

Great job @ARK_BOI

I use GBUs

Wow didn’t expect that
It was you?
Btw i know someone gonna get nuke so what you think i should do? Let them do it?

No, Cavenub is a YouTuber. The video is linked in the comment to Morvran.
I know you were saving the match for your team, just mentioning the fact you were at their runway when you did it.

Okay so I’m popular now i guess
Anyway the matter is i did what i should sometime is to get dirty to turn tide of battle
And it doesn’t matter where

Personally, after seeing that my entire team is just playing noob machine Russian tanks, I’d let the jaguar nuke them and give them a loss on purpose especially if they couldn’t win with their UFO machines

Calling modern tanks “UFOs” comes off as disrespectful and does not help your cause of seeking accuracy of armor.
Especially when BVM still isn’t the most armored tank in the game.

I dunno even using L-O equation against high BHN steel values I don’t get nowhere near close to 1.25x more protection

BTK-1sh is like 400BHN steel introduced in 1980 and L-O equation only gives it 14.5% more
