Yes it is as something new and better being added is bound to happen. Vehicles as a whole are perfectly fine, unless you wanna argue missiles have BRs of their own.
38MTs kinematics are perfectly realistic as it shares the body with other members of the family like 38ML.
It’s IR seeker is open to changes, but every top tier IR seeker is the same copy paste regardless.
You can release realistic stuff in a balanced state as well. Stuff like shells, reload speed and even armor packages can be used to balance things out.
Well, there are heaps of wrecked vehicles, aircraft, ships and helicopters on the fields and seabeds of certain countries that would indicate that no, Russian armaments have NOT proven to match their claimed performance.
Western systems - usually subject to greater democratic oversight (and yes, meddling and costs associated with politcking) - usually have.
Please refer to virtually every armed conflict post-1945 where the two sides’ technology has met on the battlefield.
IR seeker exists and in game every IR seeker is overperforming anyways.
That’s the same thing, as you should only be caring if something is broken or not, as it ruins the gameplay.
Try placing 2A7 and a completely fictional vehicle of same performance at 8.0.
Both would be brokenly OP and you crying about one thing more than the other would make absolutely no sense.
Gaijin has an option to balance everything properly before it’s addition, regardless fake or real.
Thats a bad argument, you can expect russian arms manufacturers to account for their equipment being used by barley trained dudes who peddle half their equipment on the black market
