Thats a hit into the Drivers optics no? I mean thats a weakspot on any russian MBT, tho more prone to rng than the other weakspots, especially at that insane angle…Ive once shot a t90m there, straight from the front, and the dart zipped through the whole tank and took out nothing but the engine…if tanks could have emotional expressions mine would have looked as stupid as it gets right before he eradicated me (while i was staring at the dmg window top right in disbelief)…i didnt even bother to wiggle or pop smoke i just accepted that todays not my day, snails observing me and played another br

its slightly to the left of the optic, angled somemore. In the picture we can see the part that took the hit is highlighted.
hmm it looks a bit like it doesnt go through the whole ufp armor from that angle but hitting the driver optic after going through a part of the ufp? do you have a better angle of that shot?
Insanely lucky shot if thats what happened…Driver optics must have been one or two pixels from that angle at 950 m distance
I think I gonna give up playing this thing at the moment, no other mbts has give me this much troubles to work on. Even the chinese ztz99 are much easier to work on. Like why the hell do I need to grieve myself lol
Understandable. No ones gotta love every one of the thousands of vehicles that are in game. To each their own. For me its still a great tank if i wanna play a bit more chill and in control and not deal with 10s of sound queues at once smashing my poor ears in the headphones from all directions.

Congrats, you managed to kill T-90M through weakspot, guess every top tier tank should be 10.0 since they share similiar weakspots.
Honestly these takes are quite low bait, try harder.

The average reload is about 5.4 seconds (Expert/ace crew) across all top tier mbts
Basic crew does not count, you’re just throwing the game if you don’t upgrade crews, might as well play your tank stock)
Fastest Russian reload is 6s, with the worst top tier ground.
Every non-Russian MBT reloads in 5s or less besides leopard 2
best way to play it is to not bother putting it in a lineup to begin with

Unfortunately, that doesn’t change the fact that the T-90M/Arena is one of, if not the absolute worst top-tier tanks. The armor does you no good at all when 95% of the players know exactly where to shoot, making the thing blow up like a sparkler. On top of that comes the absolutely miserable mobility and gun handling. no other top-tier tank has given me as much of a headache to play as the T-90M.

All true, i never denied that. It is statistically one of the worst top tier tanks, has fatal downsides and lots of the best top tier players also detest playing it due to immobile and unflexible it is. And sure, most people know where to shoot. If you can hit that while you or he is moving is another story. Its still got the best frontal armor profile of any Top Tier MBT, making it much more likely enemies wont hit you critically than on any other tank. More armor always does you good. The question is how much does it come to the expense of mobility bc of its weight? Considering the t90s mobility is as bad as it gets anyhow and that is mostly due to the transmission, even more weight wouldnt make it that much worse.
Worst would be having armor that slows you down but gets penned by most things shooting at you anyhow and bc its there also spalls a lot.
Still doesnt mean u cant do good in it. As far as I’m concerned its strenghts come from having to play it so much different than the t80s, which excel in yoloing in, gaining caps and map control asap. If you then mix that team composition up with some players playing way more controlled, holding important sightlines and defending map control; for me that can make a russian team very dangerous (ofc together with the cas that all the t80 rushers hope to get into asap). But if the whole team crumbles after pushing forward after capping and half your guys in cas dont get a lot done thus wasting SP, thats when lots of matches go downhill for russian teams. For me it feels like preventing that is a good job for the t90.
Pantsir SM added for 0 reason. It can intercept dozens of munitions while firing on the launch aircraft. Other toptier SPAA very limited with ammo count and lengthy reload.
RU additionally gets a free Pantsir for every player which is still very capable SPAA. Other nations get trash free SPAA like ADATs.
Coupled with the fact that RU has capable CAS/CAP and they often have air advantage.
Also add on the minor annoyance of the auto cannon tank, BMPT, that is somehow accurate to 5km against air targets.
RU always seems to be the nation I get the most irritating BS when fighting against. Random volumetric where my darts disappear, LMURs going through smoke, 5 SPAA and 5 jets when I try to CAS, BMPT having more armor than top tier tanks, etc.
Always remember

They’ll say: “skill issue”
But when it happens on a Soviet tank they’ll say: “Russian bias”
No theyll say: Look how the western tank was still completely crippled and couldnt fight back while the russian tank would be mildly inconvenienced by the same shot.
