as someone who is grinding russia.
i have felt the MBTS are not good at all, they are squishy, bad gun handling, mediocre rounds etc
the armor is extremely bad, its so squishy its insane, i have gotten pennerated on ufp by so many rounds on the T72B3 and the T80U its insane, the armor isnt reliable, and you get killed in a instant when you penetrated, fuel explosion are the most common, even got shot in the engine and i died because of fuel explosion, its pretty bad, the survivability is basically zero. the only tank i was able to be somewhat aggressive with was the T90A, thats it maybe it will get better when i get the T80BVM and the T90M right?(coping hard)
bad gun handling is to a important point, only the T72B3/A, T80BVM, and T90M have good gun handling and even then the gun depression and gun elevation is rather abysmal all around for the whole T72 and T64 family
the rounds you get are fine, but those at top tier feel kinda lackluster to like M829A1 and DM53 on L/44 guns, i guess they do the job, just wished for better ones.
the some what good things i can say is the speed, they are HELLA fast its crazy, with only being around 46~ tons and having over 1000+BHP is crazy, but thats where the good part ends, the reverse is the worse thing about, 4km and 11km feels EXTREMELY low, making the good fast top speed completely useless
oh yeah also the turret roof, you can just shoot above the breach with 500+mm rounds and it will take out one of the crew(or sometimes both) and will everytime disable the breach, its kinda annoying and only the T90M is immune to this, sadly.
the reload is fine, 7 second is kinda long but its fine, usable no complaints, and 6.0 for the T80s, is good, only the T80BVM gets 6.4 for 3BM60, reasonable because its longer rounds probably harder to load for the autoloader, no complaints here
the teams are so bad, even worse then USAians or german teams, because of the premiums
overall they are mediocre/okay MBTS for top tier, compared to leopards 2, abrams and challengers they are worst tanks i have laid my hands on, im not someone who is isnane at the game, but yeah, im VERY disapointed with how overhyped the russian MBTS are, its insanity, because of them i thought they will good i bet, but nah, hella underwhelming, might have went for france so i could’ve gotten leopards and leclercs and better teammates
my win rate this month is 50% rn, but i remember played them start of this month and went from 64% last nov to 43%, the teams are not good at all, and at 11.7 they arent great either, they are enemies in blue kinda and barely help you, oblivious and many more things
so youll ask “why am i grinding them?” CAS, thats the reason, i wanna play my SU34 and SU30SM i grinded out in grb, thats it russia ground only is bad, the cas is the main reason its good, other than that id rather play italy at this point :p
thats all
