I would be fine with the horrendous damage models if it wasn’t for that **** *** module called the “Trunnion” which legit is just a buff that only benefits Russian (Maybe China?? never had issues with it tho) breaches a black hole

I literally said how every match ended up as the same way.
However:
“your stat shark said that you are not even a good player… so you are BS”
“you only have one NATION tanks…you know nothing”
“Sweden Leo2s are OP…NATO bias”
“literally your problem/skill issues… other NATO main doesn’t complaint as you do”
…LOL
I mean barely going positive in a 2A7 is pretty impressive. Unfortunately I have seen even more impressive 2A7 performances in my random teammates.

You’re correct it’s not impressive in the slightest. But it also doesn’t matter for the discussion at hand.
it does not matter some bad player will say russia op, some mid, some good
and the same on the other side of the argument
Better focus on the argument itself, because in the long run it looks like good old deflecting

Remake this as an actual post. We can’t have a quality reply like this lost to the slop of people pretending like this doesn’t exist.

The hard truth is that conceptually and technologically Soviet and Russian tanks (excluding the T-14 whenever it becomes operational) are simply at a disadvantage to modern NATO tanks.
We all know that the Russian defence industry was struggling after the collapse of the soviet union, and therefore wasn’t able to keep up research and development at the same pace as other Western and Asian countries. Meanwhile the Russian MoD obviously didn’t have the funds to finance massive modernisation or development programms untill the last decade. The main driver for the russian defence sector therefore was the export market, with Russian tanks often either being the budget option or only option for the lesser beloved or sanctioned states.
So why not simply accept all of this and therefore reflect this reality in game by properly balancing vehicles through their BR instead of artificially nerfing or buffing them at the cost of realism.
Not every nations top of the line tank needs to end up at 12.7 at all cost.

Because the russian tree is the most popular one in the game. Not having vehicles at the top BR would make that playerbase unhappy and have a negative impact on Gaijins bottom line.

And the people that actually want to face Russia at top tier, do they just suffer the consequences of your ilk’s inadequacy ?
Probably “just play SB”, innit ?
Gaijin disagrees, especially when it comes to their major nations.

As a follow-up to the trunnions thingy:
I just noticed that gaijin essentially deleted HALF of all russian MBT’s breeches with the addition of trunnions.
This is a screenshot from 09/2025, which is after the module changes but prior to the addition of trunnions.
With the addition of trunnions, essentially the entire frontal area of the breech-dm has been deleted and replaced with additional armour:
So not only did they reduce the hitable area of the breech, they also removed the cradle as part of it and increased the effective armour of the area by about 2-3x.
Cradle is now 45mm (0.98x RHA) of mCHA armour, trunnions are 150mm - 300mm of mCHA.
Despite the dimensions being absolute bs for the trunnions, this change was literally just a massive buff to all russian mbts, decreasing the chance of any shell that strikes and penetrates their mantlet to actually damage the breech.
And now, let me ask you:
Do you remember a changelog where gaijin said “yo guys, we deleted half of all russian mbts breeches and increased their mantlet armour by 200-350mm RHAE”
but sure, just shoot the weakspots that they conveniently delete about every second patch.

yeah at this point, theyre just proving that russian MBTs suck big ahh dihh and cant perform well enough on a level playing field…
hell, NATO isnt even playing at full power rn
No matter what you do they will never acknowledge your arguments.
Again - you are simply trying to run away from the argument at hand. KH-38MT is relevant as i described despite your whining and obfuscation.
BMPT win rates vs the rest of the community on statshark alone show a picture that indicates your entire premise is incorrect. No russian top tier should be buffed while below average and average players are enjoying 55 to 65% winrates on a make believe russian platform in its current iteration.
Nothing you have on your ‘list’ comes even close to the detriment to balance in this game as the BMPT. Yet here you are - crying for more and more, like a true RUS player.
I’m not going to engage with someone who wants to think MSpaint memes and dishonesty in their argument is the same as ‘balancing’.
Nerf the BMPT with a hammer - remove/modify the KH38mt and then lets talk.
Amazing how when the topic of the f18 and its later blocks + AtA missiles which shit on the Russians its about how its unfair for those to be implemented - yet we have a make believe AtG weapon system and a make believe SPAA in game so Russians and RUS players can feel better about themselves. Either its realism for all - or George R. R. Martin fantasy shit for all. You don’t get both ways.
Yes - these items are relevant considering the discussion is nearly purely about balancing RUS top tiers. Zero buffs for RUS top tier until correct balancing is done.

Theres like a year worth of fixing the game needed before we even start talking about any balance issues. In the current state its literally impossible to draw any real conclusions since the game is so buggy and broken and their band aid fix is to just release some even more broken vehicles with every update…BMPT besides it being broken and just plainly weird to play against also benefits from the game being designed behind quick pace gameplay and shotguning the opponents. 2x30mm guns that are separated and 4 missiles that you can literally shotgun into anyone is a hell to fight against even if the tank itself and models of ALL tanks werent so broken. The new SPAA is also the proof of it, create a new vehicle, keep it OP and broken for some time, nerf it into uselessness, next update or two let them suffer, after release a vehicle that is again broken and OP. Only thing they are doing is rotating the nations, now its russias turn
