Handheld. Mhm.

Leo 2’s have been doing this for ages.

And Leopard 2’s are handheld. Two things can be true at the same time, Magik.

Anything with hull spall liners can and will do this.

T-series tanks getting hit in manners where the ammo carousal should be struck and detonated.

Wouldn’t it be funny if my ammo just disappeared from the hitbox? - Average Ivan T-series tank

Russian tanks do it more because of the fuel coverage. This is a known issue with fuel tanks and why the Leopards do it at all. Fuel eats spall and doesn’t injure crew nearby when ruptured like it should.

Leopard tanks are currently the best in the entire game as well.

While I will agree it is very frustrating, calling them handheld over a 1 in 15 chance is not correct.

Also doesn’t help that much of the time at high/top tier it’s Germany, Sweden and Russia against everyone else. Meaning that practically all the spawn liner and best survivability is on one team whilst the other team is stuck with middlin’ to bad tanks.

And people still wonder why so much of the playerbase ODLs. There’s so many examples of why it’s justified.

To be honest I like how most USSRs’ players tend to behave. But in this case you are cherry picking, for example,

USA has 5 battle rating 11.7 MBTs (including trophy M1A1 Abrams), which can be brought to a battle rating 12.0 line-up with no issues, it goes up to 7 MBTs in total, is this a confirmation of USA bias, no? In other hand USSR has 6 battle rating 11.7 MBTs (including trophy T-80U) that also can be brought to a battle rating 12.0 line-up with no issues taking this number to 8 MBTs in total, also no confirmation of Russian bias.

I actually enjoy playing against USSRs’ player because I know I’ll not have issues playing against people like you and many others claiming a not existent Russian bias, it’s a easy win. Just because some nations has more vehicles to play than others doesn’t means any kind of special threatment by the developers.

Why do you not manage to perform better with allegedly handheld vehicles then ?
Why are you only able to eke out an advantage in the 292 and it’s obscene gun ?

Not even talking about 11.7, dude. You’re losing the plot here for no gain.

My largest issue is that minor nations don’t have viable main battle tanks.

You mean the Ivan vehicles I basically never play and when I do play them I literally don’t try? Trying to make a worthless argument, I see. Amusing. Also, outside of the BR range of what I even made the thread about.

Are you suggesting that 1 in 15 shells hitting a place where it should violently explode is a reasonable rate?

Trust me, I take huge issue with that fact. It took Italy and France getting subtrees just to get MBTs that are worth something and they’re bloody copy-pastes because Gaijin can’t be assed to give any sort of damn about making the Arietes and Leclercs not suck.
