Making Russian Tank Protection more realistic

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

T-80BVM is the most armoured tank in the game
It’s also thanks to how it overperforms

Strv 122 is the most armored tank in War Thunder.
BVM is probably 2nd.

Well, the T-72Bs we have are 85 and 89. T-90A is obviously 2000s but allegedly uses the 89 array.
BTK-1sh is closest to the 85 72B so you might be on to something, but you have to make sure that there’s no other RHAs between BTK-1sh & 1985.

Actually I have easier time penetrating Strv122’s and when I do pen I actually do damage

actually it is BVM , 122 just improves the standard leo2 a little , major weakspots are the same

Which is LFP, right below the gun breech, the gun breech, and idler wheel…
Hmmm… identical to the BVM’s weakspots, except the BVM has some extra breech size.

Yes but the areas are larger and damage is guaranteed. Also any kind of side angle and I can just clap the side armour

Also when I gave Strv122 I feel like the armour is actually realistic and not UFOing

UFP area expands vertically , LFP also spalls more , in BVM it might kill the driver and not more

That’s what the players know. And that’s why everyone just rushes to the objective and slaughters the opposition. They have a guarantee that they can shoot back if they get penetrated. If that happens at least. Try hitting those weak spots while the tank goes up and down 50km/h.

I still cannot believe that someone calls this cope because it’s straight obvious even to the good players.

The people who say that are the ones who don’t really care about balance and are just looking out for themselves and just playing Russia at the moment.

Selfish if you ask me and there are many players of this type playing for the USSR right now.

ofc any idiot with more then 2 braincells enjoys the russian playstyle of pressing W and surviving shots they should not, simple because of russian handholding.
