you dont have enough playtime to back this off and its easily demonstratable by thousands not even hundreds of clips
Russian tanks have nothing to do with russia being good and are honestly complete garbage bar t80bvm which is passable at best
What is op is kh38mt lmur and pantsir and mb buk in tandem with said pantsir on big maps where planes cannot approach it safely

Advantage in armour ---- Best armour pound for pound in the game but it shouldn’t be and that’s the advantage. Meanwhile NERA is useless in every way.
Reload rate ---- Yes fixed reload rate no ready rack delay and no detriment should a crew member die, and the gun automatically reloads while the crew member is replaced. Now with buffs the standard Russian reload rate is equal to none premium crew skills. Gaijin should use an average and as they will not use range times, ideal conditions for Western tanks they should extend the courtesy to Russian tanks…Russian tanks T-72 and 80 do not consistently shoot at 7-6 rounds per minute they have to rotate the carousel for the next round. Not modelling this is an advantage.
Turret baskets ----None modelled on Russian vehicles that are proven to have them, no hydraulic systems modelled, in a tank as cramped as a T series tank you are going to lose systems from a penetrative hit that’s if the ammo doesn’t detonate killing the crew.
Depression ---- yes that’s a good one so Gaijin just removed hills or made them steeper from maps to stop Western tanks abusing hull down positions.
Reaction times? — Clicking the mouse is your reaction times
Gun handling — some of the best on the 90M and T-80BVM compare it to a CR2
Tech ----- well again Russian tanks should be using outdated by todays standards, copies of the Thales Thermal systems the Leclerc now uses a sight a generation ahead of what the T-90M is using in game though the T-90M has better or equal sites. New T-72 ARENA can intercept SPIKE missiles yet we have no concrete proof with most of the test footage showing shallow angle threats, SPIKE and Javelin would be presumably outside ARENA interception window.
Ammunition ---- 3BM60 is probably joint 2nd best round in the game
Mobility ---- Not having a reverse speed does hurt the T-90/72 series, the rest is great fast acceleration, no loss of speed when turning.

What I have drawn from this is that you have not a damn clue what you’re talking about.
overly survivable, it should be able to be ammoracked since its ammo rack its connected to the hull yet it dosent blow due to that cuz gaijin claims its not connected even tho it obviously is,
is exactly the same thing with slightly different armor layouts and slightly less crew
its a T72 with better breach and overall armor, its really good if you know how to push correctly, and its pretty survivable for being a russian tank
its basically a slighlty less survivable T90M but much faster wich allows aggresive playstyles and better handling of numerous enemies due to faster reloads
its literally a better T80U at just a bit more br, nothing crazy but i feel the ERA does stop more than it should
agree but i do feel it manouvers too much specially considering how big is it, but the missile’s onboard radar its trash compared to other’s
oh no it is pretty darn op, being able to carry that much fire and forget weaponry without much issues, being extremely manouverable and having really good thrust to weight ratio, with insanely AA weaponry too
its still REALLY good specially at its ground RB battle rating

Aha care to offer a rebuttal?
We have only spoken about tanks, we haven’t touched aircraft, or helicopters or SAMS?
Only nation to have an FnF missile that still isn’t proven to actually function the way it does IRL — Russia
Only nation to have a top attack ATGM in the form of LMUR — PARS, JAGM, Brimstone, SPIKE, AKERON all do not have a top attack profile.
LMUR — Is it actually FnF for moving targets?
No proof Mi-28 can carry 8 LMURS all documents suggest 4 — Gaijin ignores it for “Balance”
BUK the only system that has 3 lives — Despite other systems having that capability (Sky Sabre for one)
Gaijin have ignored the reports.
Giving Russia a free Pantsir as a free spawn…Everyone else gets average SAMS Gaijin gives Russian mains the best single vehicle SAM.
Just some of the most egregious.
These are some of the more egregious ones.

BUK is not the only system with 3 lives but is the first actual top tier one, type 81 TAN SAM KAI

Well we are discussing more top tier, every other nation loses the Radar control vehicle and it becomes a kill.
The BUK’s radar and missiles are incredibly schizo, making the entire thing incredibly awful to play and definitely the worst of the 12.7 ARH SPAA. But of course, you would not know this, as you see things from a biased lense, maybe grind something other than Britain?

BUK kills plenty, yes all SAMs are not 100% even the IRIS-T.
Maybe just accept that Gaijin holds your hand and gives you systems that outperform the NATO equivalents. Like how the R-77-1 is superior to the R-77 but the Aim120C is weaker than the 120A and B at close range. Source for that? Gaijin devs think smol fins make missile turn bad.
Source for Kh-38MT some brochure found in China.
Consistent imbalanced treatment to keep Russia in the conversation when in reality they are falling behind.
Doesn’t change the fact that it is among the worst of 12.7 SPAA.
Alright. We’re not going to discuss the hot dumpster fire that are most RU tanks.
Gunjob proved its existance. I guess he’s wrong.
Its a video game. Certain things are withheld to make the game playable. And trust me, you don’t want to dig into the rabbit hole that is historical balancing. You don’t know what this entails for the game.
Lmao buk is only good on open field 0 cover maps where planes cant hide from it and otherwise its total garbage because you just fly up to it over cover and kill it while it is unable to engage you due to massive minimum engagement range

It’s the 3rd best system behind the IRIS-T SLM and the SAMP-T I would say it edges Skysabre by the fact the missiles are superior and it is more survivable.
In the real world yeah Russian tanks are bad, that’s why the T-14 is a complete redesign to bring Russian tanks up to the level of what NATO currently operate. Look at how they are and have performed T- series tanks perform poorly.
Kh-38MT exists it just doesn’t and cannot function like it does in game.
It’s a game yes things are held back but never Russian things? Brimstone denied all kinds of fire modes would not be “fair” for balance. Gaijin give more jets Kh-38 and they wipe out lobbies. Russians it’s fair and balanced. Historical balancing might be fun excluding some outliers like Centurion vs IS-3 would be fun.
Providing you have good FnF weapons and the BUK player does not intercept all of your bombs and missiles.
Lmfao. No.
And it reflects in game. BVM is the only semi-decent top tier RU tank. Rest are trash.
Sure. But the HAMMER having a 1.5km IR lock in real life is disregarded.
18 FnF Brimstones would not be balanced. EFTs also got Spice so the FnF problem is largely sloved.
Won’t happen.
1.7 KV-1, 8.0 279, 8.0 T-64A, 6.7 IS-7, just to name a few. Have fun.
the advantage only exists on paper, u need to be blind or be disable to hit the ERA.
so not modelling a real thing is an advantage even when the fastest reload in a toptier russian tank is 6.4secs which is obviously not the best reload at all? are u drinking something or wtf?
good news for ur beloved NATO tanks: russian tanks trade turret basket for one-shot disadvantage.
so in resume, they’re basically the same thing: NATO tanks can’t aim and russian tanks die instantly.
removed hills? lmao i still see plenty of them, and even a small hill already eclipses the poor russian depression of 5/6 degrees, and it’s still possible for NATO tanks to use hull down positions.
for real, what are u talking about? and wtf did u drink this morning?
both T-90M and T-80BVM have the same gun handling as a Leopard 2A7V, and im not seeing u complain about Leopard 2A7V having good gun handling, stop crying like a kid.
learn a bit, mate, T-90M is from 2017 and M1A2 SEP V2 is from 2012, Proryv has 3rd Gen thermals and Abrams has 2nd Gen thermals. if u like to complain about balancing, then make a suggestion about historical BRs. i would love to face M22s in my Tiger II or use the Maus against poor Shermans.
lmao u have to be f*cking kidding.
lmao u have to be f*cking kidding again.
they literally don’t have neutral steering, most of them have bad acceleration except some specific models of the T-80, and lose a lost a lot of speed when turning like any other tank.
if ur excuses are just complainings about russian tanks being better than NATO tanks, then i recommend u to play with them and check out if they’re as u say, cuz rn u have literally no opinion about them and u just have proven that u know nothing about russian technology, history and stats.

dawg no.
maybe cuz R-77-1 is a modernization of the R-77 with improved seeker and thrust for close-range engagements while AIM-120C is a modified AIM-120B for long-range engagements? u just have proven u literally know NOTHING and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about missiles, not even AMRAAMs which are the missiles u use since u’re a NATO main.
maybe cuz it does? small fins means less maneuverability cuz u have less surfaces that impact the air which is what makes the missile turn. u don’t know how AIR works? go back to school then.
Kh-38MT doesn’t exist and Kh-38ML already performs extremely well so imo it could maybe be removed from the game.
so u’re admitting Russia is a bad nation? thx God i thought u didn’t notice.
Sky sabre and sampt are miles better not even close
