I think that a buff should only be considered after they get the “turret basket horizontal drive treatment”. If they will invent a turret basket for the challenger 2, it should be present for the T series tanks as well. Whether or not they get a buff afterwards is down to historical accuracy instead of silly American mains complaining or the equivalent for the Russian side

A tank that can sit immortal behind a hill, chipping away at the enemy, will always outperform one that cannot.

Wow impressive stats above the 1.5 kd ratio. Your 90m stats are really good. Your doing great in the Merkava 4m. About 2 weeks ago i got the Mk3d. Its a good vehicle, i started averaging around the 1.2 kd mark. However, when it was stock oh man huge problems. The type 90bs including the Fuji tank have an endge on me. I
My Ra’am Sagol has a 2.59 KD with a 59% win rate. It is really fun to play, but it doesn’t hold your hand much.

A holy thread of people playing the most handheld nation and still having skill issue is what I see. Feel free to respond but i wont be coming back for fear of my brain cells dying

Russia is broken, US mains complaining about it was 100% justified. The game is broken as long as FAF helis cost 700sp and spaa can be chained spawned 4 times for less sp for the cost of 2 MBTs. Russia is undoubtably a handheld nation denying that is denying reality. This is a wholey ignorant statement.

Why would the most handheld nation in the game need to be even more handheld? If you can’t perform better as is that’s your own skill issue and hey, I lnow I’m late here but damn, imagine playing Russia and crying they need to be buffed, this has to be satire or a very bad attempt at ragebaiting.

This is…
Not a Russia issue
Actually, the Mi28NM is one of the weaker LDIRCM helis due to blindspots in the LDIRCM

Makes up for it by far having the best missile and being on the German side most games.
Oh and that sniper APDS that can shoot jets from 5km away…

Makes up for it by not facing the Pantsir SM SV id say…

That’s the biggest issue of top tier ground vehicle-wise
Ru tanks are fine, CAS is not a major issue since NATO is pretty much on par atp
The issue is the SM-SV which creates a massive imbalance

They have the only reliable counter to the dricm helis plus have low skill tanks to play. Its a match made in heaven. You can spawn 4 pantsirs for 300sp btw, oh they also have the best anti rad missile in the game as well.
eh, anti-rad missile isn’t something I care for
but SM-SV needs a nerf (you can easily just give it the same delay between missile launches that the S1 has)
replace free S1 with TOR
and boom, balance.

They don’t need to nerf it, just increase the spawn cost of all the top tier SPAA. Plus increase the heli spawn cost to the same as aircraft. Simple

not sure about SPAA SP cost, but heli SP costs I completely forgot about, those absolutely have to go up

Play the type 03 and tell me spaa needs an increased spawn cost lol.

Some aspects are indeed hand-held, but this topic is about Russian MBT’s and not their CAS or BMPT’s.
Russian high tier/top-tier MBT’s are among the worst of any nation and have been for a few years now. We’re not in 2022 any more where the T-80BVM was the boogeyman.
The T-90M’s are among the absolutely worst 12.7’s across any nation and the T-80BVM is simply mid.
T-80U’s aren’t anything special and the other T-72’s and T-90 models are quite mediocre for their respective BR’s, with the T-72B3A having been DOA.
Every single high skill player I know of (Hazeyy, Cavenub, Ryanberry, BPA_Jon, etc.) have at various times stated the Russian top-tier MBT’s are among the worst.
Are you going to accuse them of having skill issues as well?
War Thunder’s meta doesn’t revolve around tanks with slow reloads, poor reverse speed, poor gun depression and mediocre overall mobility. But that’s exactly what the majority of Russian MBT’s are limited by.
I play Britain, Russia, Germany and USA at top-tier, and I’d gladly play a Challenger 2 (11.7) , M1A2 (12.0) or Leopard 2A5 (12.3) over a T-90M (12.7) in a 12.7 match any day of the week.

This, SPAA at top tier is way too cheap to spawn. In most of the games you are busy just killing the same players spawning their SPAA’s over and over again.
Make a back up way more expensive, don’t give SPAA a back up at all or remove the ridiculous free SPAA mechanic already.
