Given that Gaijin is very slow when comes to implementing vehicles in their historical state than working around specific scenarios (T58 in the DevServer and LiveServer for comparison), I highly doubt that any positive improvement for these vehicles will come, tech tree vehicles don’t bring instant profit except when someone just buy every modification with Golden Eagles.

Patience dude, once gaijin adds the T14 you’ll finally get to dominate every single aspect of top tier.

Maps are carefully built
Whole community is together on one thing: 90% of the maps are bad.
Not going to argue with you anymore

map quality =/= map utility, you just pulled a terrible implication lol.
Every map has strong locations for Russian tanks, that does not correlate to how Gaijin has built maps for blufor like Breslau, where if you don’t have a decent hull, you’re good as dead if you face someone on the main lanes towards the city based capture zones.

Russian Tanks are almost universally overperforming or actually modeled correctly. I dont think a single other nation can claim their MBTs are even close to IRL spec at the moment.
As it stands. Soviet top tier actually could do with nerfs in places
BMPT is still cancerous
BMDs and BMPs are under BRed
Buk is one of the best SPAA at the moment
KH-38MT is the best AGM by a mile
Mi-28NM is the best Heli due to the LMUR being the best by quite a margin
Sure the MBTs might not be meta, but certainly within the top 3 or 4 at pretty much every BR in the range you describe.
As it stands, soviets need either nerfing or other nations need notable buffs and fixes

L take man, war thunder doesnt need any Pay to Win mechanics.
The T80ud at 10.3 with a 6 second reload was a very good tank, ant even at 10.7 it still is

If it was any other nation, it would probably be 11.0 right now

For BMPs, only the BMP-3 is good where it stands at 9.3. The BMD-4M was incredibly busted and I’m glad it got moved up to where it’s still very good.
BMP-2 sucks. BMP-1 sucks. BMD-4M2 sucks. BMD-4 is generally good like the 4M.
I have no comment about air stuff tho, I’m purely talking about tanks.

Its good because it probably should be 10.0 or at least 9.7

Don’t forget their heavy ERA also overperforming heavily and anti-ERA ammo (in general, as tandem warhead ATGMs do not work right now) is literally not doing what it should.
But yeah suuuure man Russia needs buffs. Suuuuuuure. Hit me up with the docs that prove Su-30SM2 has Irbis and dual R-77 pylons on the belly first though.

in real life 10000% agree with you. They are abysmal wastes of steel
in game tho… Russian devs pump them up to levels only every believed during the red scare
skill issue -5 isnt bad
thats on you for overextending
about 60% of the time yes
you mean the MBTs that are penned everywhere with 10.7 shells?
lmao get out of here

Oh yeah versus the Swedish IFVs? Versus the Bradley? It has no armor and the only good thing going for it is access to terrain and anti-tank capabilities. It does not win any single frontal engagement past 150m against anything, including said Swedish IFVs, Bradley, and don’t forget the Begleit.
BMP-3 at 9.7 I see it but no reason to play it over the BMDs.
Im giving them a semi pass because as far as I am aware, that bug is actually affecting ALL ERA, including non-soviet ERA, but its just that it usually doesnt matter for non-soviet MBTs as only soviet MBTs are so totally covered in ERA.
But… They do need to considerably buff non-soviet ERA or nerf soviet ERA, they are held to entirely different standards and it drives me nuts
Or the current engines

More like 6.0 BR shells, JP MBT armor is basically nonexistent. Type 10 with a flat LFP with 40mm of thickness in particular is super rice paper armor.

Only real difference to T-80UD at 10.7 is that it can now see M1A1 in full uptier, which will mop the floor with UD, assuming both are played by players with equal skill. And that 9.3 such as Kpz70 dont have to deal with this thing.
But on the 10.7 front, nothing really changed and T-80UD is still played the same when facing 2A4s and M1s.

If you’re so good you can still play Russian vehicles and pull decent stats while carrying those disadvantages, then this topic holds no sense to be.
At least, that’s the argument any Russian player drags on blufor topics anyways.

Matter of fact, T-14 will be a lot worse than people expect it to be, I’m placing my bets in the T-15 if Gaijin ever considers adding next-generation tanks to the game (except and never including modernization). It’s a 2S38 on steroids I mean, armor exclusively at the front, crew in a specific spot, ammo in the other, and engine right in the back.
At this moment Terminator has no place to be balanced, the firepower difference from battle rating 11.3 to battle rating 12.7 is minimal, if not, not a single change.
If Gaijin ever considered putting the Soderma modification as a literal improvement of the vehicle not just thermal imaging device I don’t think it will go further than battle rating 9.3 except in cases of decompression, while BMDs do have this possibility.
X vehicle will be better if you use Y (technically worse) vehicle in comparison, I personally don’t think Buk-M3 is one of the best, but surely is effective, HQ-11 despite having shorter range should perform a lot better specially since the launcher is fully elevated.
Z-10ME with BA-11 should be performing similarly in my opinion, and given that it doesn’t need to use all the pylons to impact the battlefield, which also Mi-28NM should be worse, there are no pictures of it loading up to 8x LMUR, only 4x LMUR in the great majority of the cases, others only 2x LMUR.

come back after actually playing high tier with other nations

so the BMP3 and BMD4 that you are claiming are better than the CV90s and nato ifvs?
