Everything but T-90M which is the least decent from my experience which wasn’t good. Just stop and play 9.3 maximum, you’ll play some decent matches without a wave of agile MBTs come to you. By your 5th battle you could conclude that top tier USSR is worthless.

i dont want to just throw away russia when im 100k rp from the t80bvm
its literally only on russia that i hear about “play this br instead of the one you have to progress” which is pretty stupid
10.3 Soviet is very polarising. In down tiers it’s insanely strong, easily the best 10.3 lineup as most nations don’t have a strong lineup.
However, it suuuuuccckkks in uptiers, even vs 10.7 tanks the T-72B’s are rather lacking. Vs 11.3’s? Yeah you’re gonna have to pray.
It’s a compression issue tbh.

That’s what I did, I’ve grinded all USSR and now I only play specific BRs where I’m not going to be frustated either by team mates level 5 with a top notch vehicle or stupidly better vehicles than mine. 8.7 to 9.3 is the best spot if you want to experience good vehicles. If you want suggestion for other nations try Japan, by 6.3 to 12.0 got a good selection of vehicles specially 9.0 to 9.7, 11.3 to 12.0.
In summary:
It’s so frustating that, I’ve only spaded the majority of those vehicles on 8.7 and 9.3, yet I have some spaded in other BRs but the most I’ve played recently was or is in this BR placement, I suggest you, if you can afford, buy the T-80UD, finish the T-80BVM or anything else and go to any other tech tree that you never experienced before, I would suggest, along with Japan: Italy and France.
I cant even play 9.3 optimally because i would get little to no rp rewards because im researching a rank 8 vehicle, i js have to endure this stupidity
I don’t recommend you using a rank VI to research a rank VIII.
i do have the t80ud, i just want to get modifications on my T80B and T80U
my plan for russia is mainly just get the BVM and the pantsir and then continiue my USA, after that i was planning on playing china.
The T-72 doesn’t face Chief 3/5s and Olifant Mk.1s in a vacuum, it’s having to contend with APFSDS slinging Thermal optic race cars while having to carry awful vehicles like T-62s/62M1/64s while being nothing spectacular itself (and having to face itself in other tech trees (with better lineups)).

no it just faces the mk10 or a mk5 with a bigger engine (khalid).
I meant the mk2 more but it is realistic for the mk1 to see T72, either way its still an unfair compression caused problem
they all should be uptiered to hell WT favours them over actual tanks far too much.
Idk Soviet 9.3 is absolutely one of the strongest at the BR. and its one of the more advanced newer tanks of that BR range
… why?
DM63 can punch right through it’s UFP even with the add-on armour
No.

i do agree that soviet lineup’s are good, but the 9.3 one isnt the best one, the german one is definitely much better, only really lacks a SPAA

because the olis extra armour is worthless, its just too sluggish to fight a T72 well enough to be the same BR.
Its got a Spamcanon in the lineup (begleit) its going to be an extremely good lineup by default

How can one be horrid and one be fine if they’re almost the same tanks with armor being the only difference ?
T-72B’s armor is more than enough to stop common shells at 10.3 as well.
It’s not the best but it’s perfectly playable.
3BM60 + good thermals with good armor are the selling points, in other fields T-90A is just mid at best. It could get the Bhishma treatment so it goes down to 10.7 with T-80B.

I don’t say this much but… skill issue, the tanks are fine the problem is the same every other tanks face… uptiers
One tank I can agree on is the T90M, the reverse speed is terrible but it does have excellent armor so it shouldn’t be moved down unless they nerf the armor but that will never happen

You are literally spouting some BS. I went from US to USSR 10.3 by wallet warrior’ing it and instantly up’ed my KD by 50%. It has its drawbacks for sure, but it is a wonderful 10.0 lineup.
I think t80b is one one tech tree vehicle from that BR and I do just the same as my other Premuim Vic’s I paid for.
If you think 10.7 Russia is strong in a downtier, wait till you see the Abrams and Leopard 2A4
Ones armor actually does something (if they dont shoot you in the weakspot), fits 10.3 better than the regular T72B
worst at its BR
i dont understand why people praise thermals so much, its personal preference and shouldnt impact BR as much as it does.
if you need thermals to actually see enemies idk what to tell you except youre blind, only time i find thermals useful is SPAA so i can see drones at 9km+
