That tank which is the t90m or t80bvm. Which are free kills. Every time I see one in game I get happy asf cause ik that’s bouta be the easiest kill of my life. Any pen shot cripples them. Similar to the Abrams.

The next real step would be 3BM59 which in game would only have 10-20mm more penetration.

As a Russian main myself… The 3BM60 is very powerful already pentrating everything like paper and it about the player not the tank

Yes. Which is still an upgrade and will keep Russia semi competitive.
Or you can wait until 3BM69 (🥀) and have goobers amount of penetration.

That is true. The main problem with Russian tanks tho is the hit box on the auto loader module I feel. But still a quick buff by adding 3bm59 would still make them slightly more competitive in the big 25
We can only wish lmao.
Well when the leo2a7 has better in game protection than the t90m that is the case
t’was reading up on the different russian shells found this

Strange, one reason why I don’t think Russia has better rounds is probs the same reason America doesn’t have the a4 lmao. Or Germany doesn’t have the dm73. It’s to early. But in the mean time 3bm59 would still keep it fresh and give Russia a small buff in top tier pen and post pen damage

Russia is dominating top tier → smartest russia main: Lets buff the only aspect in which russia is not broken so top tier becomes even more unbearable. Never change war thunder community

as i was told milion and one times during the reign of BVM, i now pass the same wisdom onto you.
Just aim for weakspots bro, stop coping.

can you explain that in more detail please…
Russian tanks arent underperforming because of a lack of fire power. They under perform due to absolutely abysmal mobility, gun handling, and gun depression. We have tanks at 12.0 with 4km reverse. BVM is the only tank that feels like it keeps up with any other nation after the t55amd/t62. And youll still end up dealing with 5 degrees of gun depression limiting where it can be played.

I also dont understand the fixation on rounds at this tier, maybe I dont get it but what exactly does 3bm60 or a better round afford you over 3mb42?
3mb42 is going to have no problems penning lfp or breach or any weakspot you should be aiming for, unless post pen damage and spalling is significantly different?
I dont think a better round is going to change anything from a gameplay perspective unless its so powerful it starts cleaving through turret cheeks.
I can see better rounds helping when you are fighting at like 1km+ shots and cant really aim for weakspots but warthunder map design is not going in that direction.

3bm42 is still usable at Top Tier and you still want more, i guess Russian mains got a syndrome that can’t let them resist from asking for more OP stuff.

Russian tanks are hard to appreciate until you play them, its easy to call them OP because when you die to them you just see the tanks armor, low profile and smaller weakspots, but don’t get any sense of the awful mobility, gun handling, depression cucking you every match, etc. That player deals with.

That’s how they’re in real life, its called poor Engineering but they’re still better than most nations with overperforming ERA that eats Mavericks for dinner, let’s not forget that Russia gets the best lineup in GRB out of all nations.
I’ve seen countless players in this forum that tend to make Russia look weak but its literally the opposite.

Ok but the game isnt real life and uses a BR system, and mobility and gun handling are big factors in how well a tank performs in game.
I dont think how well a tank survives CAS is taken into account for placement, and ya russian CAS is overperforming atm massively, but we are speaking on ground vehicles.
And best grb lineup? What at 13.0 only? And only because of the planes, def not the ground vics.
