Russian MBTs: Firepower and Protection versus NATO counterparts

Ah the good old skill issue.

won’t tell us what he has, but can claim all day.
Leo is the best tank, so it should have the best stats. I’ve seen some with 17.3 kdrs.

Shouldn’t need a lineup if you say it’s so good.

Well just because i seem to do well in Abrams doesn’t mean it considering as good and meta
It require a lot of afford to work
In the environment of the gameplay (most of the maps in the game are now smaller CQC)
The Abrams force to play the game as brawlers something that isn’t Abrams stuff to shine
In game play that good frontal armor matter
(That T-tanks and Strv122 shine)
You can’t expected tank that force to play around it weakness to shine

Again with the irony 🤣

Abrams does best in CQC due to its mobility and round.
While things that rely on front armor lose their advantage due to being too close to hide their weakspots, namely their idler wheel.
It’s why people prefer CQC to begin with, people that rely on armor are easier to frag because they’re not going to pay as much attention to their surroundings as someone that plays by the onion survival rules… AKA Leclerc and Ariete players.

And in urban you’re more ears than anything else.

At least those other two you mentioned have a reverse gear. Russia doesn’t have that luxury, and if your in a a city map, your sol.

Well i guess that why i had around 3.0 with many hundreds battle in Abrams and you don’t
I don’t think or play like you

I never said it was meta, the meta tanks are Leo 2a7 and the like. Leo is another tank that has a faster reload than average. I think the average reload in the Leo rounded out to be 6.71 or something.

Abrams is not forced to brawl, hill down it’s extremely good.

Cause for everyone with a KDR above 1 there’s a KDR below 1.
The moment repair insurance became a feature, I only ever care about having a good time now and learning something else.
The pressure to earn SL reduced.

I’m not about to care about improving to your or Cavenub’s levels, no envy.
I just hope you’re enjoying the game regardless of your performance, just as I give respect to those that enjoy the game with negative stats as they are more important than either of us.

The meaning of it are
I avoid playing around it weakness and use it strength much as possible that why i’m doing fine with it
But you don’t

Well I play tanks on their strengths and don’t concern myself much with alleged weaknesses.
It seems you do as well.

Enough for almost 2 nukes every single game, that’s quite impressive, and definitely not a ridiculous number you pulled outta yer arse.

Gaijin have stated many times before they use reload as a soft balancing factor, from the perspective of Warthunder the only argument to be made for changing RoF may as well just be based on how the vehicles perform in game.

In that respect, they have left the Russian MBT’s at a higher reload, they would have done so because their statistics show no sign of under-performing. I’d take their statistics (which are actually based on real data) over your nonsense anecdotal evidence of Russian MBT’s “suffering”.

lol Sorry to burst your bubble, but Soviet MBTs are autoloaded. Autoloaded tanks do not have their reloads changed unless a historical report allows it.
Gaijin changes the reload of tanks that have HUMAN loaders for balance.

So your post means nothing.

Point still stands, if the russian mbt’s are performing as badly as scorpions claims, then the reload time of abrams/leos would be increased to be slower than their autoloaders.

Suffers from skills issue more like it
Most of Russians main have easy time killing Western tanks by aiming where at hull and shoot while west had to aim the weak spot
Thing start to changed when 122 first came out it was fist western tanks with armor and then they call it OP
And then T-72B3 that combined with T-80U they dominate for years until 2A6 that can pen their UFP back and result that German completely destroyed them and that when they crying out that 2A6 is OP when all they had to do is avoid Rushing like they usually did to L/55 gun without thinking

I have most certainly seen a Leo 2a7 with a 17 kdr, if I still have the photo, I’ll send it.

I have only taken real data… but that’s crazy dog.

Top abrams:

T-90m:

Leo2a7v:

I was about to ask if that was Thunderskill general stats, but by the battle count that’s a player.

What’s the point of showing this?
In a vacuum it’s a statistical anomaly.

No that was general apparently

Here is the Strv 122b+

Which seems to be the best performer of all.

Then it’s an anecdote.
