I’ve never seen T-90M absorb side shots in games or real life.
Relikt as Gaijin modeled it is rather weak, likely correctly weak. 54mm of protection flat is not notable.
The crew probably abandoned the vehicle before, I don’t need to mention what would happen if they were in the armored vehicle

Well i have numerous occasions the magic armour turns red and your shot does no damage.
Im aware of the video and images and I would say yes a tank on fire will explode the difference is with Western tanks it is generally not a catastrophic detonation.
On Russian tanks is generally is, there are exceptions to the rule. Leopard 2A4 that was hit by a Kornet in the side exploded violently.
It depends, there is a video of a T90M hit by a javelin and the crew put out the flames, and for the tank to explode completely the ammunition has to be hit directly, if the ammunition burns the crew still has time to get out, I have videos, but videos like these I can’t post on the forum obviously

As is for all tanks/AFVs … you can’t generalise like that… especially when most of not all our data/knowledge come from a selected short vidoes on YT/Telegram/X/TikTok …

But they are the finest & modern T-80s series you can find that still in serving
I likely seen it, suppose the difference is it’s not a 120mm APFSDS from 300m away.
Or a Brimstone etc
We can deduct patterns and we have seen far more burning and catostrophic ammunition detonations on Soviet and Russian tanks than we have Western ones. However there are more Soviet/Russian tanks in the theatre.
The point is anything will explode literally anything that has an engine can explode. The difference is Russian/Soviet designs have a higher likelihood of doing so.
Exactly, if we look at it this way, anything except Abrams, explode, while all the others explode violently too if the impact is accurate, Leopards, Challengers, T90, T72, Type10, leclercs but the issue is the same as you said yourself, in the theater of operations there are more Soviet vehicles in operation, besides the fact that this theater puts several new technologies in the field, such as drones, and is the hottest theater since World War II, as happened with the Turkish Leopards 2a4, if there were more Challengers 2 and Leopards in the field, the number of vehicles destroyed would be greater, but nothing will change the fact that from now on tank designers around the world will spend sleepless nights thinking about how to deal with drones.

Insert ‘unknown technology meme here’.
Your arguments are kinda shit but this one… what the fuck man? Did you even played this? SORRY I see you didn’t even play any 7 and 8 era ships.
I have Soyuz and I can confidently say its one of the most OP vehicles in this game and most OP ship. Armor is extremely good, ammo racks are super small, shells are the best in the game and crew don’t want to die.
The best part is that irl Soyuz would be one of the worst BB of its era even if soviets would be able built it as they wanted and not with armor from bricks and wood like they tried to do.
Guns and shells are absolute magic, did you seen its stats? Why they have pen similar to Yamato yet have twice of filler and in 406 mm guns compared to 460 mm? Turrets also have amazing armor and great turning speed.
Do you even want to have conversation about problems of this game or just cover your ears and disprove everything you don’t like with arguments that have no sense?

To summarize the issue:
This is Iowa’s ammo rack
This is Yamato’s ammo rack
And this is Soyuz’s ammo rack
Similar caliber gun but Iowa and Yamato ammo had wider spread and above waterline while Soyuz’s ammo rack at a way more secured position. But guess what? Not only it out reload the Yamato but also the Iowa! Gaijin want to tell us that Russian can transfer the ammo from the lowest deck to the turret more faster than their counterpart that just need to transfer from the below of the turret. Well done, Gaijin…🤦♂️

Ask this man, he will answer you.
It’s because of the first person that you’re complaining, but the second one is just following the standards.
I love soviet relativistic shells that are identical in size to Kronstadt’s
Oh, I just saw that after you mention it. Great model, good job Gaijin…
