Russian Bias in 2026?

Do note that the comparison you posted there, is for the Leopard 2 IVT which had B-technology armor installed, not C-technology, so the 2A7V is worse than the first iteration prototype (as the TVM, i.e what became the Strv 122A, was the second iteration).

edit: DO NOTE, even the Strv 122A doesn’t actually reach the Leopard 2 TVMs armor values, they all underperform, and Gaijin keeps pretending they’re not.

There is a video of a Patriot missile doing the same btw.

I’d say the one problem I have with the armor plates that separate ammo in both manual and autoloaded tanks is that they’re destructible. Even if for example something like the Abrams had that armor plate penetrated from the crew compartment the vast majority of the explosion would still vent through the blowout panels. Sadly according to gaijin the ammo door that separates the ammo just magically disappears (without a weight reduction from the vehicle lol)

Which still doesn’t explain the fact how Hypersonic missiles on Pantsir literally ignores the law of physics.

Do you also have excuse for that BS implementation?

No ?

Im simply replying to him saying how bad these systems are.

Well if the fact of BMPT ammo chutes somehow working as blow-out panels (despite the fact the belts themselves are exposed and any detonation would propagate into the carousel itself) is taken into account… should you even be asking?

I don’t doubt it. However, comedy weapons systems is more a sort of ‘feature rather than bug’ with Soviet/RU tech…

Hell, War Thunder is probably one of the few places they work as the manufacturer intended. =)

Anyway - I’m digressing from the thread. I bid ye farewell - try not to wind up Ralin too much.

It’s one of those things they’ll eventually “fix” once it no longer sells well.

There are tons of missfires from all over the world from a lot of countries online.
Saying this is somewhat unique to Russia/Soviet stuff is just ignorant.

Next April fools all vehicles are historically accurate for a week (German WWII vehicles have terrible reliability, A-10s having no teammate markers, etc)

My bad shawty.

And btw. i think that the addition of the new Pantsir was completely unnecessary as well.
For all i care they can remove it, i don’t even have it yet.

More like you refuse the acknowledge certain facts.

Cycle diagram also takes in to account that next shell will always be ready which doesnt include to real life performance,.

Again you’re talking about static time.

It does effects, shows how clueless you are.

NATO tanks can adjust their fire rate depending on terrain condition, tanks like Leclerc and Type series can reduce their reload time on the move in order to prevent damaging loading mechanism or causing injure to crew.

Jeez how clueless you are when it comes to NATO tanks.

It’s because Russia tends to get a vehicle or weapon system that is over-capable in the role it’s intended for. The original Pantsir was the longest range and fastest system at the time, and now the new one is the fastest system with the added bonus of being the best at munition interception. It’s not the fault of the systems themselves it’s just Gaijin’s pisspoor implementation.

“The AIM-F is exactly the same as the AIM-7F”

How ? Crew is completley blocked by steel plate from autoloader.

Not a totally farfetched concept for the tank to have inclinometers and/or accelerometers to slow the cycle time if the vehicle is travelling at speed. In fact, it’s precisely the sort of thing I’d expect on a modern autoloader mechanism if the crew have limited access to it.

Edit to add - You find similar safely systems on heavy plant machinery for example - stopping the operator from moving attachments too quickly when moving.

You do realize modern tanks also doesnt have start up from the outside like WWII tanks right? There are buttons for adjusting the ROF on autoloader inside the tank, just like how you can activate engine’s tank from the inside with simple push of button.

Wake up buddy, we’re living in 2026 and technology evolved a lot.

What ? What it has to do with chance for autoloader on Type series to injure operator ? Are you high or something ?

You do also realize autoloader takes the shell , opens the blast door and pushes the round to breach while passing though the space inside of the turret right? Guess what happens when you push the shell between the crew when your tank is on the move? Thats right you can cause them to get injure.
