Skill has nothing to do with it. Everyone who plays for the USA against the USSR loses. I sent you your own table above.

No dude, Vikhrs, HE damage, autoloader-basket joke, stock reload, damage model in general and free vehicles in a match are also a balance issue.
One side has for free an AA that is the 2nd-3rd best in the game (after sm-sv) the other one has adats, I can´t count how many times I was watching the plane/missile I want to shoot down and the adats radar just can´t get a propper lock, even understanding that an adats is better against tanks, it just make you doubt about the balance concerns of dev´s.
It just took 1 update of having Buk´s not performing well and japanese kh-38s to add a max 48 and mach 5 missiles AA, while israel still has to deal with the spyder that cant kill a UAV.

But at least you don’t deny that the USSR currently dominates everyone. Not everyone is willing to admit that.
It has actually on the ground. The T-90M that is shown in your video is just a perfect skill check tank.
Bad players usually struggle against it while decent players just farm it.
Yeah I never denied that. I’m just done with people overhyping the T-series MBTs and underselling the Abrams.
Hahahaha. This is very funny. I got your joke.

I get it, being decent at the game is hard to comprehend for struggling players.

I played for a long time on 11.7, and the Abrams was tolerable. It wasn’t great, it wasn’t bad, but as soon as I reached 13.0 and encountered the T-90M, which is impossible to destroy from the side, simply unkillable, and it happens in every battle, I simply deleted the game. I abandoned the KV-8 Event. It’s a good thing I didn’t buy a premium account.
I one shot kill them through the side 70-90% of the time with no problems, depending on my physical and mental state at the moment.
I have never ever considered the T-90M more of a problem than any other MBTs in battle. Hell a well played Leclerc/Merkava Mk.4/Type 10/Abrams is much scarier than a well played T-90M.
Holy skill issue.

The talk I saw on the forum was like
“Russia OP!!!"
"Yes Russia OP but they tanks no reversing, Russia tanks is weak "
“They have better armor, It’s not needed reversing”**
"Yes but tthey tanks no reversing Russia tanks is weak "
“Russia air and spaa power too OP”
"Yes but tthey tanks no reversing Russia tanks is weak "(look like it seems that they should join more OP air)
“NATO average win rate only 40%”
“Yes but tthey tanks no reversing Russia tanks is weak .LOOK! Leopard 2A7 surprisingly have 1.41 average KD!!! Far better weak role T80BVM 1.36 average KD!!!This is not fair to the Russia tanks !!!”
“BMPT OP”
“11.7 Average KD 1.59 No OP ,Only Leopards M1s OP!”

It’s kinda debatable. People always say that the Abrams (or other nato tanks) can be more dangerous if they’re played well, but the fact is that… most tanks aren’t played well. I’m not a very good player, but I do better in the T-80BVM or T-90M than any Abrams simply because it’s easier to tank hits. Even when I do get penned in a Russian mbt, I often find myself surviving minus the autoloader (which itself is less of a problem considering you can still aim and return a shot).
Once you give that to a whole team (which consists of mostly not-great players), they absolutely do become an issue. That’s without even mentioning bmpts, Russian cas, and Russian spaa, which are their own whole issues.

0.1 0.05 Tank KD Gap at Russia bias defenders look it is Large gap . And selectively ignore BMPT(BMPT not Russia tank?) and Russia air > 1KD gap of NATO same kind
The Abrams (and similar NATO MBTs) have a higher skill floor and a higher skill ceiling, T-series have a lower skill floor and a lower skill ceiling.
So you are right that for a new/inexperienced/not as good player the T-series are much easier to get into and do well in due to the low skill floor, but due to the low skill ceiling good players will often find themselfs limited.
On the other hand the same new/inexperienced/not as good players will struggle in the Abrams, but good players will be able to do much much more in the Abrams than in the T-series (there are always exceptions to this of course).
The T-90M will always be limited in what it can do due to it’s weak mobility, firepower and gun depression. So it’s not nearly as scary to face than a good Abrams player.

I will say that the base M1 and M1 KVT have the lowest skill ceiling out of every Abrams variant since it doesn’t have the “best” in anything relative to its BR. You can still do extremely well with it but you are held back by its limitations that are solved in later variants.

I despise base M1 and KVT due their firepower/spalling.
Its the sole reason why I bought Click-Bait despite having top KVT already, switching from mediocre 105mm shell to 120mm nuke shell makes life much more enjoyable.
Having the only sub 400mm APFSDS as a top shell and pisspoor spalling makes it painful to play, but I have a large lineup around it. I also don’t like fighting LMURs, Kh-38s, and Pantsirs so I play 10.7.
I got entire Us tree so I have plenty options when it comes to large line-ups on each bracket, still I wouldn’t spawn in M1 Abrams when M10 sits right next to it.
I have both but I prefer the M1 as you still have armor against some threats. Plus you get better mobility at the cost of ammunition and thermals.
For me better firepower and thermals are more suitable around 10.7
Booker already has decent/very good mobility and its armor is quite solid against autocannons and thats enough in my book.
