Fuel explosions are accurate, and Gaijin has stated that multiple times.
Fuel tanks also correctly eat fragments and don’t produce fragments.
Thats just the dart of the leclerc.
I get the same shooting abrams’ with it.

Damn those physics defying maps that scale all vehicles to the same size! /s
The turret armor is still good enough to bounce most poorly placed shots just like literally any turret. You dont need 2A7 turret cheeks againt current rounds.
I literally do not care about some random anecdote
@H_ngma
Dude’s out here calling science anecdotal.
Go learn what the scientific method is and take a course on science.
Modern rounds out-pen T-80BVM’s turret by double.
And smaller maps force side armor to be shown more often, which is one of the reasons people like them.
Flanking routes are more common.
Side armor is shown more often.
And one other thing I forgot about.
Are you claiming that you showing random players different parts of your tank and then writing about what they shot at in a comment is scientific and not just an anecdote? Because its insane if you are.
They still cant penetrate its cheeks except for the same weakspots every tank has.
Smaller maps that show side armor is literally a positive for USSR tanks since theyre the only ones that have some armor in the first quarter of the side while everyone else either rocks paper thin composite or stuff like the AZUR ERA
Edit: forgot about the STRV that one has actual armor on the side as well
Anecdotal evidence:
“evidence in the form of stories that people tell about what has happened to them”
I am not telling stories, and I’m not saying what has happened to me specifically.
I am sharing cold facts [not a story] on where players shot my T-80BVM, and it made me understand that Abrams players could use some advice.
So stop using a personal definition, and accept what words mean.
Also stop gaslighting people for being literate and pro-science.
T-80B’s cheeks are ~430mm thick.
Soviet MBTs don’t have side armor, no MBTs do. Not even Strv 122.
Funniest, least self-aware comment ive ever come across on this forum lmao

I can kill an abrams, chally, T series, etc very easily. The only tanks that give me trouble are leos
Congrats i guess? Still doesnt change the fact that Soviet tanks have generally better hull armor and smaller weakspots than most other tanks?

Except you fail to mention, ammo detonation, fuel explosion, or crew kills are far more prevalent on T series tanks than any other.
Got a few new idea’s for topics so ima ask real quick. What are all the main negatives to the ussr tanks? (Mainly so i don’t forget any) {I know there’s crew placement/ammo placement, turret traverse, reload, reverse gear, and same weakspot sense 9.0}
Reaload is subjective to the br
Early autoloaders on the t series have decent reload for the br
Not really. 7.1 seconds at any BR above 10.0 is mediocre at best.

I meant mainly for 9.3
And its still very decent on 10.3
I would agree with you if the damage model of autoloaders was actually consistent and not a dice roll everytime
Seems to me anytime I’m hit, it’s disabled. Even hits to the roof with one itty bitty piece of spall hits it, it’s knocked out.
Disabling the autoloader is not the problem, contrary to turret baskets you can still rotate your turret and get a shot off. The problem is that the autoloaders themselves dont produce spall when hit which protects the ammo much more than it should

They don’t? News to me. I’ve had rounds spall from sticking the top of loader and kill crew or just detonate the whole tank.
Kinda strange, you say there’s no spall yet I’ve seen it.
They dont, you either need new glasses or are just lying. The carousel doesnt create spall it just eats it like a champ protecting the ammo inside. Happens on chinese tanks as well so its just poorly modeled and not uniquely russian.
Additionally to your other points: Having only 3 crew is also not a negative that only USSR tanks suffer from and exploding fuel tanks is a certified Leclerc classic at this point
