Russian tanks are bad at top tier (not counting CAS)

shut up, please shut up
I’m someone who knows about the Abrams. The Abrams does have DU inserts/heavily upgraded composites all over the front of the vehicle minus the ufp. it has been like that since the M1A1HA from the 80s. Gaijin could not give any the M1A1, IPM1, and the M1 DU inserts but it doesn’t give it to any Abrams in game. The M1A1HC, A2, Sep, and Sepv2 in game can be easily penetrated by mango or 3bm42. in real life this is absolutely not possible to do anywhere and yet it can happen easily in game. Gaijin is flat out wrong here. They will not add the first, second or even third gen DU inserts to American tanks because their armor frontally will be immune to every shell even the lower glacis since there are no M1A1HAs with first gen DU inserts. and the russian tanks getting spall liners while the MBTs from the richest country in the world do not is pure russian bias

Even HAP-2 has higher effectiveness than the aussie EAP.

How long have you played for Russian top tier ground battles private? Bro probably doesn’t know how to play realistic battles. I personally hate arcade battles because it takes out the fun. Also sim battles are probably the best game mode tbh

The base M1A1 and M1, and the IPM1 don’t have DU armor. The M1A1HA, HA+, SA, M1A2, SEP, and SEPv2 do, though. DU hulls also started showing up for the DU-equipped Abrams variants from 2006 onwards, from what I can tell.

The issues with the current DU-equipped Abrams is that they’re literally not based on domestic packages - they’re based on non-DU export packages that were explicitly stated to be worse than the domestic ones. The fact that in the Greek Trials (using a different non-DU armor package) the armor was only second to the Leopard 2 should say how much better the real domestic packages are. The Abrams full-stop should be the most armored tank in the game, Gaijin just doesn’t want to add it for some reason.

That’s what non-DU Abrams’ should look like, with DU-armored Abrams having at least 35% more KE protection.

Sim battles at the moment are completly broken, teams are unbalanced and in top br brackets cas is untouchable. Its really a shame cause SGB have great potential but at the moment they are really not worth playing unless you like sitting in a queue and playing only the side which gets 90% winrate

That’s sounds like a you problem, I’ve been getting the same battle ratings and idc if i get up tiered because it means more silver lions for me

not sure what your deal is lol but any who I play the Abrams all the time, I never said they didn’t have DU upgrades. I was specifically telling the guy it’s not hard to one shot an Abrams or Leo.

Because Nato countries knows how to build tanks and place their crews in them so they dont all die screaming and burning in one shot, unlike russian tanks. Russian tanks are terribly designed and have been for decades. The only reason they perform this well in this game is because gaijin gives them artificial buffs hidden modifiers, and nerfs everyone elses ammo so their crappy ERA some how stops the entire round.

On soviet tank you teach play on ALL tanks in this games. Its very bad, but positive exp.for me.

the only joke is you.

Yeah, like the one second slower reload on the AZ autoloader on the T-72s and T-90s, because irl it can reload in 6 seconds, but in game, for balancing reasons, it have a 7.1 sec reload.

Gaijin did not even model the penetration capabilities of any APFSDS on ERA, so there isn’t any nerf because there isn’t anything to be nerfed. If you take the Chinese ERA it works the same way, as the fuel tanks too.

It’s because the meta of the game revolves around mechanics in GRB that aren’t realistic, biggest one is camera posistion, being able to use binos without exposing your commander, scouting etc. Then you have maps that almost exclusively force engagements within 400m that makes going for weakpoints trivial, so all that armor you have on your UFP etc. means fuckall.

This favors gun depression, reverse speed, gun handling etc. since you can sit 100% non visible behind cover while having eyes on something you shouldn’t be able to see irl, combine this with hill/corner peaking and there you go.

I’d trade all the armor on any russian tank for non hand cranked verticle targeting speed and +4 degrees of gun depression. Wish the Sprut M actually had the same depression as nato tanks it would be my favorite russian vehicle.

russia truly suffers even in their own little struggle session simulator

I love how threads about each nation’s problems inevitably turn into a fight between the mains of different nations. Instead of discussing legitimate balance issues, it devolves into a blame game where everyone argues their nation has it the worst. This constant infighting is exactly why we can’t achieve proper balance—no one wants to acknowledge the strengths and weaknesses of their own nation, only focus on pointing fingers at others. It’s counterproductive and just perpetuates the cycle of imbalance.
