Have you ever considered that maybe, just maybe, they ODL because they get tired of dealing with the same BS all the time ?
I mean i don’t get why they even bother spawning in the first place tbh, but it’s not entirely surprising.
They also ODL because they can not play the category of vehicle they want to play.
For example :
you die in Pantsir SM-SV ? Spawn Pantsir S1
you die in T-72B3, spawn T-80BVM or T-90M
you die in BMPT ? Spawn BMPT-72
Meanwhile :
You die in Leopard 2A7HU ? stuck with Ariete
You die with SAMP/T ? Stuck with ITO, or worse, automatic
The list goes on
At top tier Russia has : Best heli, arguably best CAS tied with Spice slingers, Best Blue water and Coastal ships, Best SPAAs, best IFVs, and very decent tanks.
And if you come with the argument about lower BRs, know that i don’t disagree, but most people play at the higher echelons.
“no where near as many” is the understatement of the millenia at this point
As for Russia, war or no war, they were already on the decline. Post empire hung over, happens to everyone eventually, welcome to the club i guess
Mind sharing then ?
No, it’s a matter of a 5th gen plane being less vulnerable than a tank yolo rushing with over extended supply lines.
Spamming KH38MT with a confomrtable reaction time to still evade isn’t the same as having to manage your laser pointer, your trajectory and firing your missiles all in the span of a few seconds.
Missiles with double or triple the speed compared to their peers also have less chance to be intercepted, and finally they face off SPAAs with less ammo to intercept than Pantsir SM-SV
They’re relevant to the other comment I made regarding recent russia additions which are always made competitive by Gaijin no matter if they should be or not.
And I’m specifically dreading the su57, because of all its gimmicky stuff that has the potential to completely obliterate balance.
At least for me . Leopard 2A7 is more difficult to T series
In fact after Leopard 2 add basket(meanwhile arise this bug) I haven’t driven my Leopard 2A7 anymore。
A years ago …yes
