Russian tanks only have bad reverse gears they are still amongst the best in terms of mobility otherwise including getting into position, Gun depression once again doesnt matter as like 80 percent of the maps in game dont even have enough of hill on them for you to use gun depression. Having better armor that is less forgiving is literally never going to be a downside. The cramped interior of russian tanks prevents spall from spreading and results in less components being hit or damaged currently.
Also the leopards have worse mobility and better firepower but do shoot slower than an abrams however they are still better tanks because of the armor. Infact its the armor that makes them so good because if you recall when the 2a5 and 2a6 first were in the game the armor on them was terrible and they were amongst the worst top tier mbts
Partially disagreed, because having that good armor usually comes at significant downsides if you aren’t playing the 2A7s/122s.
T-90Ms for example will rarely be able to forcr favorable engagements, because it will always be late everywhere. This is exactly why the T-90M is a decent sniper and a very mediocre brawler.
The t90m in my opinion is a great brawler because you get relikt bags on the side which allows you to just pull some bs angling and eat shots all the time along with a really unforgiving front and at that range penn doesn’t matter. I’d say they arent very good snipers because nato gets the advantage of its poor armor not being a factor anymore and having higher levels of penn. But once again you have like three sniping maps and 14 cqc maps
T-90s can’t side-scrape due to reverse gear, the reload means anyone can out reload you or push you freely after you fire.
CQC fights need fast reloads, T-90s don’t have that
