Russian top tier tanks need a fair buff

No one knows what dart it was or if that penetration was even what destroyed the tank

forget gear, this game isn’t anywhere near representative of actual tank combat

gets posted at least once a month like that one TOW-2B marketing clip

Yall are being sarcastic right…if you are struggling in USSR that is a hardcore skill issue at top tier. Sure the reverse sucks but the enemies you face, the 3BM60 and access to a wide variety of platforms makes it pretty dang good.

I don’t. They both have their positives and negatives. My two top played tanks are the 2a7 and T80bvm. Saying “Ussr needs a buff” is asinine.

An overwhelming amount of negatives yes.

Their tanks are rather poor.

Detail to me specifically whats wrong with them when I have a 522/330 kd in the T80BVM right now with 4k hours. You have an autoloader, a very strong round, extremely good ERA protection, and hull down they are beasts.

So because it has a poopy reverse gear and a lack of depression that makes it bad? You need to put more hours into USSR then.

This supposed to be impressive?

Not a pro. Manually loading tanks or other vehicles with autoloaders load faster.

One of the worst top tier rounds, as spalling is not determined by mass or calibre, rather residual penetration, something 3BM60 is lacking.

The glaring weakspots are still uncovered.

Good luck getting into a hull down position with an RU tank. Have fun with your garbage turrets besides the T-90M.

Plenty of other flaws.

My guy, I have top tier in every single nation.

This you? You have 20 games in the BVM my man.

Edit:


Alright sure, you have a positive KD. But having a positive KD makes it that you are doing well in it. Additionally, you have a 63.5% winrate.

What are the weaknesses you are referring to?

I appreciate you grabbing it for me, sometimes its hard to find them when people have multiple names elsewhere. Regardless, you have a great KD and a high winrate. How does that make it bad?

I would suggest you use my stats for the past 6 months.


Sorted by rank 8. As you can see I perform better in non-RU vehicles.

And? That is a statistic for you, making you a solid player but saying that an individual nation is bad just because you get higher in others is not a reason that USSR is bad. Additionally, your KD is higher than a good majority of other nations with the BVM

Russia is not a bad nation at top tier, but aside from the T-80BVM, they lack any competent tanks. Something that could alleviate this is giving T-72s and T-90s a 6.66s reload, or just cut to the chase and give Russia the BVM Mod 23, which would just be another BVM for the lineup.

Imo, Russia is probably one of if not the best nations in top tier, with actually a large amount of highly competitive tanks in top tier.

I mean for a start you have the BMPT (admittedly, a tank destroyer), the recently buffed T-72, the new T-72B3A, the T90M, the T80BVM, and then you could probably make a case for the T-80U. All of those tanks have crazy over performing ERA, insanely good guns, (looking at you, T-72 at 11.0), and not bad mobility. The drawback of the reverse speed is almost nullified by the fact that once hull down, in a few of them you are un-killable, and also shouldn’t really be over extending anyway.
Russia also a has a couple pretty decent SPAA options, being the Panstir and the BUK.
Not to even mention the CAS.

Sure they might sometimes perform bad, but remember other nations have it worse. The Abrams has an a-historical turret ring and basket, the leopard should technically have a 3-4s reload when aced, the Type90 should have a marginally faster reload, and the challengers should have much better armour than present at the moment.

So it might seem like Russian tanks have weakness, but other nations have it even worse.

Ooooofff the cope is real lol BMPT Russian bias 😆

Not really.

Last I checked 1 semi-competitive tank isn’t a large amount.

Which one? The B3? Still pretty bad at 11.3 because the BR change didn’t change its flaws.

Joke of a tank, an 11.3 at 12.3.

A terrible vehicle that’s been fearmongered out of this universe.

No.

That saves them once in 20 times.

Some of the worst firepower at their respective BRs.

The 11.0 T-72s still have an incredibly awful reload. Tanks with better firepower can be found at lower BRs as well.

Here’s a mobility chart

The only RU tanks with good turrets are 90A and 90M, and they HEAVILY struggle to go hull down. Reverse speed is also 100% an issue no matter what map you’re on.

You haven’t played these RU tanks, so I wouldn’t think you’d know.

No nation has it worse in terms of tanks. Having played all 10 nations, RU’s tanks are at rock bottom.

And yet it is still the best or 2nd best tank at every BR its at.

What the fck. NO.

No. Terrible for the game.

They’re not lacking much armor, just spall liner coverage.

No. It was the T-72B3 that went down from 11.7 to 11.3.

What? Lmfao. Its turret is pretty trash and its worse in tank vs tank than T-72B3 which is at 11.3. Also, better rounds are found at 11.7 on M1A1 for example. You have not a damn clue what you’re talking about.

I’m sure you would know, considering you haven’t played it.

No? As I said, M829A1 is found at 11.7, DM53 at 11.7, M829A2 at 12.0, the list goes on.

M322 is found at 10.0 with 590mm of pen. Do you think that’s OP? The ATGM is useless aside from overpressuring.

I’m sure you would know, as you haven’t played it. The reload is not a-historically buffed, its a-historically NERFED. Its a horrible tank, being slower than the likes of the Challenger 2 OES.

Not my fault the British can’t design a fast tank.

The T-80BVM has mobility worse than 2A4, on par with 2A5, and Abrams/Leo only lag behind by 1s.

Completely false.

France, Italy, and China are definitely better than Russia. The Brits are the only ones who have it worse really, and i’m glad because British players are probably worse than US players in terms of being completely insufferable.

Turret armor? Mobility? Ammo stowage? Gun handling? Reverse? Utility? Shell types? Sights? Gun angles? The list goes on.

Those are training sims where the gun does not have to reset to a loading position, set to a firing position, includes lap loading, and the blast door is also left open. Not a good example. The Leo 2 manual literally states the loading time for Leo 2 being 8.6s or 7 shots per minute.

Sure. So we’re admitting to TOS breaks now.
