Some Obroms have that HEATFS with strange-looking spec that looks like modernized APHE, hadn’t really tried it and wondering if it is viable in the top tier aside from hitting light tanks.
You are also under the illusion that the Abrams in game is the worst MBT so lower your tone.

That shell is next to useless. Even if you manage to pen it does not overpressure at all. There is chance to overpressure but it must be really specific penetration from side and I only managed to get it on Ariete and from the side right between all crew members while I was playing with protection analysis. In case of T-90M, from side it was eaten by spall liner completely. I would personally not bother taking single round of this shell. APHE effect is also almost non existent.
yes i have many times
And shooting t-90m in drivers port also kills it ? And it’s a guaranteed 1 shot kill , not like with Abram’s when teammates can save you , same with lower front plate guaranteed kill as well

Hitting driver hatch on T-90M is way harder than turret ring on Abrams. Same goes for lower plate of T-90M. T-90M has much smaller weakspot and hitting them while T-90M is moving is not easy like Abrams. Also Lower plate of T-90M is not guaranteed kill.
Tbh rushing T-90M, T-80BVM or Strv 122s are scariest thing you can encounter at top tier as you have to place your shot very carefully in order to survive. I always go for gun or breach to disable it because it is much easier than trying to one shot those tanks.
It’s because he is just camping in his nato tanks to push k/d. Thats why his winrate isn’t better and frags per battle either.
Can’t camp that hard in russian tanks witj no gun depression.
russian players never had to aim for weakspot (except for a couple of sweden players).
of course they are complaining now, when more armored tanks appear … lol…
if you shoot a breach of a nato tank you mostly kill half the turret crew because of the mantlet nerf, unlike on the t-series tanks where only the breach gets red…

I mean that’s only on t-90m and Abram’s is much more mobile than it , sure the armour is better but Abram’s can actually snipe and brawl , unlike t-90m who has 4km reverse speed so you make 1 mistake and you die
Did you even play anything else than soviet tanks? Because combination of Abrams and brawl in same sentence is peak of comedy. Abrams is not good at brawl thanks to its huge weakspots. The moment you show turret ring you are done.
Also making mistake is death almost for any tank at top tier. This is not exclusive for soviet tanks.
And in case of low reverse speed, well, ask russia why they put such a crappy gearbox in their tanks. You should have look at those tanks before you started research if it was such an issue for you.

Ariete would like to have a words with that.
Oh really?
Talking about no gun depression and you think i can’t do anything without it may i represents you.
-6 gun depression with higher profile than all Russian tanks (maybe even taller than some western MBT) basically no gun depression and no armor whatsoever yet i still have K/D 4.0 on it lol
Italian OP Russian suffer i guess.
Pff…Italy is OP af
Seeing his service record it looks like he plays exclusively soviets, so that is why he does not understand struggles of other nations. Perspective from someone who has just one nation will mostly be biased towards that nations and it will always lean towards negative as they have no idea what struggles other nations have.
I personally do not have soviet tanks as I did my research before actual research and reverse speed of those tanks was enough for me to not even try it because it would not fit to my playstyle. But I played some of soviet tanks in form of subtree vehicles or event vehicles so I have some knowledge how to play with them, what is their advantages and disadvantages. Soviet 125mm guns always felt like they have better damage compare to NATO 120mm guns and the armor was always more trollish. I was surprised how much those tanks can take but crappy reverse speed was always bad enough that after spading I just did not have motivation to play them again because like I said it does not fit my playstyle.
Having multiple nations at top tier I know it is not just black and white.

Soviet tanks are not bad as this threads say really compare to most MBT in the it still stronger than most of tanks that not up armored leopard
also line up overall Russia also one of the strongest not many nation do have that luxury of Russia Germany? well have 2A7V and then what? CAS it just Tornado that can’t throw GBU from 15KM away like it used to SPAA it ass compare to Pantsir Tiger UHT fire and forget but PARS3 really ass damage out put and unreliable.
Maybe tell your Engineers to move from the old soviet meta and maybe improve their tanks and the loader can be an actual person? Everything you mentioned is based on factual facts from real life, crying about how T-Series got 4km/h reverse speed won’t change the fact that’s how they’re.
That’s why every Russian main hold W and expect the ERA to bounce every shot, the enemy can defend most of the time against them if they cannot, they would lose and there gonna be 10 t80s next to their spawn in minutes.

Lol it is not it’s known for being reliable and relatively easy to repair in comparison to other nato tanks
someone say BMPT Terminator? or T-14
There are reason why they are most export western MBT in the world most of European country choose it Sweden brought it licenses to build it and don’t throwing turret out of it hull on daily thanks to new type of ammunition even Ukrainian tanks crews like it
It has turret tossed before but it was solved with the creation of insensitive ammo so its not gonna do it like it did with turkey

Yeah let just said at least German learned their lessons after that Russia? Well almost 70 years still tossing turret nothing changes (maybe painlessly death better than suffering from some injuries but alive in Russian PoV)
