Russian Teams Steamrolling NATO - Top Tier is Broken Again?

You know that all structural armour in game under a certain thickness doesnt produce any spall, this is noting exclusive the the russians.

The last time I checked the ERA, no ERA protects at 20% its 70% value.
Soviet hull arrays are provably not over-performing as shown by countless unclassified documents, unless you’re accusing NATO of doing something malicious.

Mild steel tends not to generate spall in War Thunder in general… no clue the accuracy of this.
If Abrams turret basket should be able to “stop” spalling IRL [alleged by others], then so will other things.

I’ve never pixel hunted a Soviet tank in War Thunder.
Leopard 2A5s? Yes, back when DM33 and M829 were the best rounds, oh and APFSDS cost 1200 SL per round so using it meant losing money on misses.
And to this day Strv 122s.
But even T-90M, Soviet’s most armored tank, has decently sized weakspots… at least at closer ranges.

again need to add hull break or this is realistic irl the 5-6 mm steel afther get penetrated by apfsds no have spall?

It depends they can produce some spalling but would still be on a relatively narrow cone.

not like there’s other helis with LDIRCM that also overperforms
Definitely an issue unique only to the Mi-28

Do you mean the worst top tier tank there is or the 10.7 tank with new ERA + thermals + shell + engine?

Obviously, what you are describing is the Leopard 2A7V

Have you ever played those “very good tanks”?

I have (80BVM). It’s actual w+m1 gameplay and honestly mind-numbing.

Exactly.

You try to W+M1 gameplay with a NATO MBT, you get instantly vanished.

Playing Russia = playing in TUTORIAL mode.

Adds a lot that there’s often no air threat because of vastly superior SPAA so I don’t have to worry about being in the open… And actual side armour.

What’s wrong with pointing out that Russian tanks most definitely aren’t good

That they are good per many people who use them and when people claim they’re not it’s often quite telling of the player.

I have the BVM and 90M, they suck

I also have the BVM, and no it doesn’t. As I said, telling of the player.

Because they just aren’t that good.

Only bots like you that can barely play the game struggle against them.

Might have missed that memo, since I do plenty of cqb in NATO MBTs and mostly farm T-series all day.
