i play on my macbook pro (2021) 💔🥀
I think you should learn about statistics and data analysis. No matter how well the Leo A5 performs in the hands of 300 elite French players, it remains average among the thousands of average German players—this is the median, and it underperforms compared to the same number of M1 and T-80BVMs. A similar example is the Swedish T-80U, which also has a very high KD ratio.

Is it more protected than the T64B, or T64A?
That is true, but you are failing to take note that I was comparing the Leclerc and the 2A6NL, which are both played by french players, and have relatively the same number of games:
306 for the 2A5NL, 769 for the Leclerc S2.
Even then, let’s look at the Ariete and the Leopard 2A6.
Both are played by roughly the same players (good players), Ariete AMV has 384 matches while Leopard 2A5NL has 306 matches. The Ariete is worse by a considerable degree.

And you can see the issue. Half those green squares won’t actually do any damage either. I’ve nailed the ammo through the lfp and barely scratched the paint
Sounds like a game jankiness issue
And it’s always the soviet tanks that that jankiness occurs with. Every time.
My record was nailing the lfp and ammo rack 4 times with L27A1. That was BS
Do you have a video of it?
I’ve had XM803’s, KPz/MBT-70’s and Type 90’s get hit in their ammo multiple times too, and it only blacked out the autoloader and didn’t even damage the ammo (or the ammo got deleted)
Its not just a USSR tank issue

Top Tier in general for me has been quite inconsistent. I can’t say that it’s specifically a Russian MBT Problem:
Spoiler
I can give you plently more examples if you want.

I think Abrams are notorious for deleting spall when shot in their hull tbh, and the rest I encounter every so often
I haven’t really had much issues with them, unless you don’t hit their driver or the 19mm RHA surrounding the external fuel tanks.
Sometimes strange stuff happens when you directly hit the 19mm RHA.
I just get volumetric’d when I shoot their breech so who knows
The Ariete and Leclerc do not represent the average standard of NATO tanks. thats the point. M1 has a much larger player base, a significantly higher appearance rate, and a much larger sample size. If you use the Ariete and Leclerc as the benchmark, then clearly the leo ,M1, T-80, and T-90 would all need to be nerfed. If you use the M1 as the standard, then the Ariete and Leclerc should be buffed. If you believe in another thread that the Ariete and Leclerc should be strengthened, then I support you. But what I’m saying now is that the Leo A5 should receive the NATO reload rate to meet the NATO standard. Therefore, you should not use the Ariete and Leclerc—which are clearly underpowered—as the benchmark. Otherwise, all top-tier vehicles would have to be nerfed to fit this evaluation criteria.

T-64A sits at the same BR as T-72A despite having both worse armor and worse mobility; now, with a faster rate of fire, it will finally be okay as a side grade instead of being just a downgrade.

The t64a sure, i still have seen people complaining about it but on the 64b i do understand the complain
Okay, fair point.
I am arguing that the reload buff for the Russian MBTs would help them stay competitive against German and other NATO MBTs (now that they got their reload buff too).
The Leclercs, Chally 2E (and the other Challies to be honest), ZTZ99A, and the Ariete should all probably lower by 0.3.
However, I think the 2A7V, and the Abrams should go to 12.7.
That being said, the T-80BVM with a 6s reload, and the Leopard 2A5 / 2A6 (with a 6s reload) seems mostly fair to me.
As for the data, it can be hard to interpret correctly because of all the other variables at top tier (other than sample size, quality of players, etc).
Like I showed you with the Leclercs and French 2A5 / 2A6, the 2A5 / 2A6 is performing better with the same environment (nation) and players (french players) with similar (albeit not exactly the same) sample sizes.
This means that, in general, the 2A5 / 2A6 (with a 6s reload) is still better than the Leclercs with a 5s reload.
That being said, you can see USA (with a massive sample size, mediocre players, but really good tank) be relatively on-par with the 2A5 / 2A6, meaning that the Abrams (at least the SEP V1 and V2) are outperforming Leopard 2A5 / 2A6s (which again, is also in-line with what I believe to be).
So I can’t see why a 5s reload for the 2A5 / 2A6 is needed when the underperfomring vehicles (relative to the 2A5 / 2A6) can go down in BR, and the overperforming vehicles (relative to the 2A5 / 2A6) can go up in BR.
Are you suggesting to put the 2A5 / 2A6 (with a 5.0s reload) to 12.7 (with the 2A7 (of which will still have a 6s reload)) instead of 12.3?
