I’ve ground through the entire German tech tree, and one thing I keep noticing is that Russian tanks are incredibly difficult to destroy with a single shot, no matter how well placed the shot is.
After three hours of playing with the Leopard 2A7 and Leopard 2 PSO at BR 12.7, I still struggle to consistently destroy Russian vehicles at BR 10.7. And before anyone says it — yes, I know where to aim.
Meanwhile, German tanks often feel extremely fragile, especially their turrets. The survivability difference feels exaggerated and honestly makes the game feel biased at times.
How long is this balance philosophy going to continue?
This has nothing to do with realism! The BMPT-72 absorbs 3 to 5 shots in 90% of cases before it dies — sometimes even more — and from the front it feels like you’re firing blank rounds at it! This is completely unacceptable, and honestly, it would be annoying if it weren’t just plain ridiculous!
I’m convinced this is all because of the eternal “День Победы” event that never seems to end. The survivability of Russian vehicles in this game feels so exaggerated that it makes actual battlefield realism look like a secondary concern compared to national mythmaking.
