Oh, that was quite a story. They added it in 2016 with that ridiculous mantlet that could be penetrated by the T-34-85 gun.
Spoiler
To fix this, a thread with proof was created on the old forum, but Gaijin didn’t respond at all. It got to the point where someone went to a museum, found the gun with the mantlet, and measured it with a tape measure, providing evidence.
But it didn’t help. Moreover, subsequent M60A1 modifications were added with the same thin mantlet. Eventually, they fixed it, but that was only in 2020.
Regarding the Challenger 2 — I don’t remember the exact dates, but it also took several years, and in the heat of the dispute over this ridiculous 200 mm thick mantlet detail, someone posted a secret document with the armor details on the forum, lol.
No, because Gaijin never did anything like that with Soviet armored vehicles. Although I did come across a case where they stuffed an extra armor part inside the IS-6, making it practically impossible to penetrate.
Nonsense. If the gunner turns the turret away, then in real life the tank would be able to move on its own. Besides, it’s a basic game mechanic, like an engine repaired in 30 seconds.
Not mine, open your eyes and read carefully. I stated that there were no such cases at all for Soviet equipment.
Because the magical reactive armor, which in the game protects the tank from everything it shouldn’t, gives you an unfair gameplay advantage. And game mechanics don’t grant such advantages.
As far as I remember, the manual does not recommend the crew to leave the tank within the first one and a half minutes after the blowout panels activate.
Magical ERA thats reflected in the game’s BR system. Again for the 100th time in this thread, do you really think if ERA didn’t perform like it did russian tanks wouldn’t drop ~0.7 BR instantly? I don’t get your thought process here.
Soviet win rate sit’s at 40~% right now at 10.0-12.0 bracket by Wt data and Statshark what happend if this will be implented ? And i don’t know how true that autor claims is he didn’t come with any valid proofs.
My mistake i mean IS-6 armor plate has been removed, T-54-49 mask has been fixed and Yak-28B falres has been removed that doesn’t fit the removing vulnerabilities.

This is not even a joke at this point. 2S38 is so bad it’s insane.
I have around 1.4 kd in leo2, and about 1.3 kd in KVT, and i’ve used these tanks to “learn the high tier” - i’ve started playing them after couple years of break from warthunder, learning the game from the start.
Even after that, i just can’t stand playing 2s38, it’s so OP that i should at least score something similar
to my leo and kvt. It’s “so OP” that i can’t even be positive in it. It’s so overpowered that i can’t even find anyone who would have good stats with it.
2S38 looks cool, have good themrals and thats about it from the pros. It’s slow free frag. I’m always happy to see it, because i know i will get free frag from it.
Serious buyers remorse.
People confuse it as OP because every single autocannons are just annoying.
