TLDR
but the premise is true
it has to be
for russia to even come close to being a usable force in this game everything has to be buffed > 100%
their real life losses in ww2 per person / vehicle were unsustainable for a game to emulate and stay interesting … 6" high speed humps made of mud would be all they could hope for if they did not alter reality

Objectively:
Reload is 7.1 seconds for the armored T-series tanks.
T-80U is the most armored T-80 and you use 3BM46, it does have a 6.5 second reload.
T-80BVM you get good turret traverse and 3BM60, but you lose all your turret armor you had on T-80U.
It’s all tradeoffs.
You can pick mobility and armor, but lack penetration.
You can pick mobility and ammo, but lack armor on the turret.
You can pick armor and ammo, but lack mobility and faster reload.
It’s heavily playstyle dependent.
Of course, these tanks are competitive despite their flaws, but those are the flaws you as a player have to work around.
Armor currently is a low factor in most matches so BVM is fine as long as you’re seen after you spot the enemy.
@dragloon
You can’t compare real life soldiers to players.
Russia is not a tech tree, and the Soviets are not uniquely buffed above real life.
Engines are seen as perfectly manufactured for all tech trees, and mobility is over-performing in all tech trees for at least one tank usually over a dozen.
Germany Yes they have good guns with lots of pen
The Russians have good armor,one Shot shells with better angle performance than apfsds
Good mobility in all directions
The Russian Shell types are the Best in the Game
(Aphe apfsds he heat, those blunt nose better angle performance than apfsds deserves another separate mention) And those that arent have better alternatives (shrapnel,apcr,apds(t10m/t55))
And they have been very consistsant across updates
Menwhile apds/hesh/apcr are a hit and miss between patches
A ton of noob tubes 152mm (but gaijin has finely come around to also give them to other nations)
The US the guns are rather avg the pen is about on pair with Russian tanks but they lack the angle performance and are less likely to one shoot other tanks
But the 75mm and 76mm guns do have stabilizer
Which could be considered Easy mode but you need the skill to actually make that First Shot count
Just know the t-34 has a tendency to even stop shells from the long 88mm
And then there are the British
No he filler
No Reverse
No armor(or armor and no speed IN ALL DIRECTIONS besides down)
And a collection of the worst shell types ingame (they dont have apcr i think)
Only saving Grace in is the pen, its good once you get the 17pounder
He shells have a bigger Chance to over pressure than
Hesh despite the later having way more explosive Content (for a while it didnt have any he Effect at all)
Well…my russians aren’t. T34 (42) may adhere to the above comments…but the many other Russian tanks and SPGs don’t really have so good mobility…by far.
And the shells are NOT the best, at least at BR 4 to 7. Many German or American shells are better…
To be clear…there are many good russian tanks…but also many good tanks on other nations…particularly Germany and USA.
Any of these three is a good nation to play…the best one depends on specific BR (and IMHO it is not russia that is better at more BRs)
Brits do have specific issues…it may be due to their RL performance…but i admit the killing power of AP shells seems a bit unrealistic…having to pen a target 4 or 5 times before it dies does not sound something that would happen in actual combat…

The ammunition issue is complicated. First, the bullet damage model is incorrect, with the difference between APHE and AP being abysmal.
Then there are the Russian flat-nosed bullets, which have somewhat exaggerated angled penetration, although essentially having a flat nose favored that type of penetration at the expense of losing penetration at 0°. For example, one flaw in the game is that American AP rounds, specifically the 90mm T33, should act similarly to Russian ammunition. Despite having a sharp nose, they had the peculiarity that when hitting inclined armor, the nose would break, giving them better penetration at 60°, which doesn’t happen in the game.
Again German sure
But American?
You have the 75mm which is pretty much on pair
With the Russian 76mm late model
Slightly worse flat pen but much better angle pen
You have the American 76 which is equivalent to the Russian 85mm
You have the American 90mm guns which are on pair with the Russian 100mm/122mm if not worse like the base t26/m26 guns
While all have better angle performance and more post pen
And yet you did.

my last 14 games in a row as a US-SWE squad, queues were dead equal for the 3 majors
russian mains moaning about the IRIS-T and 2A7 even though 1. their helis are immune to it and 2. the matchmaker is literally rigged to prevent them from facing germany lmfao
b-b-but one of the games had germany on your team!!!
only 3 players yeah lmao

Huh
Russia is on par with germany america is lacking
Below long 90mm u cant even pen tiger 2 turret
You made my own argument…those American and Russian shells are rather similar…we may argue which is actually better…but lots of variables…
IMHO…based on experience not stats…and this i admit can be skewed…the US 76mm has a better chance of a first shot kill…the 85mm feels less effective both penetrating and after pen damage…although the difference is small.
It depends on specific shot and target of course…but i feel i get more consistent results with 76mm US.
(It may be that 85mm can pen at more angles…but this effect is not so visible to me)
Same argument for 90mm US…but conversely i like much more the Russian 76mm…the US 75mm is not so good…feels “brit” when using APCR :)
My point…it is a close contest EITHER WAY…no “bias” that i can see…and for sure no huge russian advantage…
Oh wow Mi-4 is immune to IRIS-T i didn’t know that probably even devs didn’t know that either.
I wounder how often a mi-4 has to see irist
Pretty sure there are more bf109 getting shot down by r73 than mi-4 getting shot down by irist in this game

I see russia on par with USA and Germany a bit ahead…
Not sure on specifics, i do kill KTs with 90mm but not sure where i hit…90mm works great on M26 family…but not so good on M36…as it is the same gun i am guessing the tank “survivability” has an effect on gun perceived performance…odd sometimes…
BTW…KT is a great tank with a great gun…one of the reasons i prefer Germany :)
