Russia top tier tanks are miserable and there is no way to fix that

Probably angled all around the tank and upwards for 360 degree protection, I doubt it would be in a situation to take advantage of all of them.

Supposedly they have 3 different hatches for the driver/gunner/commander but idk if they are separated inside the tank

Is it smaller than a 2A5/A6 ? Yes.

Is it smaller than a Abrams ? Yes.

Is it smaller than a Chally? Yes.

Is it smaller than a Merk’s ? Yes.

Is it smaller than a Leclerc’s ? Yes.

Is it smaller than a Ariete’s ? Yes.

Is it smaller than a ZTZ/WZ? Yes.

Is it smaller than a Type 10? Yes.

Basically the only one smaller is beneath the composite belt on a 122 / 2A7.

(Not that you even need to aim for the LFP on most of these anyway, as unlike 90M / 80BVM they have lol-pen UFP’s anyway)

People don’t realize how small the Tseries is

I’m pretty sure it, and the 2s38 work like the Strv-103, 1 person can pretty much do all.

The part that you are leaving out is that most of those tanks store their first-stage ammo in their turret bustle.

Outside of the Ariete, ZTZ and Merkava (which has ammo in an unlikely spot to be FTB’d), the tanks you listed are not going to be ammo racked by a LFP shot unless the player takes too much ammo.

The T-series are also much shorter, so yes, it is smaller. But it’s not a small target for a somewhat decent player.

Oh we know. That’s why we wonder how every hit is a perfect weak point hit

It’s all one compartment, but it’s very well armored.

USA and Russia gets together to build a tank, that would be a sight to behold

There are less pixels on a t series to aim for than most other tanks

But the 2A5/A6 got better mobility, gun handling and highest pen shell across the board

Abram still superior in term of gun handling and reload rate, higher pen dart is a big plus. The only thing the T series beat the abram is the armor. Mobility is debateable since T90M is one of the worst while 80BVM is one of the better while SEPv2 is pretty mid when it come to it mobility

These two are just sad , there no way to sugarcoat this so yeah , fair point

Same with Abram for the most part

They got better mobility and gun handling iirc.Beside that lose to T series in term of armor

Type 10/TKX are special case, their pro5 are almost as small as a T series. Their armor are one of the worst in the game if not the worst but it make up for in term of mobility and 4 second reload rate. So when it come to them I don’t think talking about armor is fair when their strong point is flanking

Funny enough about these thing is the best way to kill them is LFP , cause going anywhere else just gonna mess up your dart. They are basically T series but better in every single way

Overall good point but you should look into stuff from more direction, not just armor. That not to say they are the worst tank since Brit/Ita still exist. But this go on they will eventually be one of the worst if not the worst

If USA and Russia collabaed on anything the rest of the world would be f’d

That’s what they’re scared of. I won’t get into politics but you can imagine my sentiment.

Pen doesn’t amount for much after 450mm to be honest. Lets face it, we’d all be aiming for the exact same spots regardless if it was 450 or 650mm

Sure, but saying it’s hard to hit is kinda goofy. It’s a much larger area than a turret ring, which is my usual shot on an Abrams.

Since Russian tanks can’t really shoot from crests, where they could hide their LFP, they usually make for an easy kill.

It’s actually about the same size as the turret ring. Gaijin has this weird ricochet mechanic that shots will ricochet into the Abrams. If you hit the upper front plate, you will ricochet into the lower mantlet. If you hit the mantlet, you will ricochet into the upper front plate. You can play around with it in game if you think I’m making it up. Sadly this works with even 2s38s

Realistically this is the Abrams hit map with ricochets

Yea. The drivers arm got blown off by a 152mm, and the gunners leg, along with the commanders foot. Gaijin told me and I quote “it’s a visual bug”

You got gaijined dude, it happens

It happens consistently in those same areas? That’s not getting gaijined at that point.

My round didn’t non-pen, it literally killed the engine and trans!

The Abrams model is that bad

You are talking to someone who hadn’t touched anything outside of USA tech, it is hard for them to understand how other nation’s mbts actually has attributes that make them overall worse than the Turret Ring™ hoo haas
