Russian top tier tanks need a fair buff

Its still shifting…it all depends if someone tries to be objective or bias to one or the other side

Damn I will comeback later then , this should have been merged with other RU top tier post it feel like but whatever

That thing would be 100% literally impossible to balance. Heavens no. A fast MBT with a hard-kill APS, tons of frontal armor, a heavily armored crew capsule at the rear and a super high power gun would break the game totally.

Also it was never actually built, so it’s got about the same chance to be in the game as Strv 2000. Well, Strv 2000 actually got further in development than this. Both would be gamebreakers though.

But they ware doing this long before Kh-38 was added…

I know, I just mentioned the MT, because it’s the most ridiculous double standard of what sources gaijin accepts so far.

Yeah with the speed we’re moving into uncharted, heavily classified territory it’s absolutely not going to be the last

I recently got the leopard 2PL. That gives a great, secure feeling my T80s will never give. When I’m in my Leo, I know I can safely withdraw from combat of needed, I don’t have to worry about ammo racks, I don’t have to worry about “if I stay in this position, will my gun depression let me fire safely?” and I know my shell is one of the best in-game. All in all, Russia does now have AMAZING or ‘BiAsEd’ vehicles, anyone who complains about Russia likely haven’t tried the nation and if they have, they probably play Israel as their only other nation. I feel German and Swedish top tier are WAY better MBT wise.

They should do that, followed immediately by fixing the stupid era magically eating darts that should plow through the length of the tank. Oh and also fixing the autoloader eating rounds and not detonating.

My point is yeah the reload sucks but the tanks are stupid broken in other ways. Fix one then also fix the other so that we dont have a UFO tank on our hands again (cough cough 2s38)

2s38 gets killed by anything and everything.

Neither did the Ho 229 v3 and Sea Meteor as far as I remember, but those aren’t Russian planes so obviously it doesn’t count /s

M1A2 SEP v2 now mounts a LWR system despite only a ‘‘mock-up’’ getting it IRL.

Challenger 2 has it’s researchable Dorchester 2E module.
M1A2 SEP v2 now has it’s TUSK module be researchable.
Leopard 2A4M CAN has several external armour modules that are researchable.
XM8 has a researchable eternal armour module.
M1A2 SEP has it’s researchable TUSK.
M1128’s slat armour is a researchable module.
etc.

Also, it’s not always a positive thing, especially in the case of the T-72B3 because it’s got a 290 horsepower engine increase locked behind that researchable module.

T-72B '87 > T-72B '89 is practically the same tank, who’s only difference is Kontakt-5. But that doesn’t even matter because the areas covered by Kontakt-5 were already strong on the '87 version.

Imagine complaining about that paper maché box in 2026.

Maybe should include XF5U-1 never had any armament or ever flew.

There was a small Low Rate production run of 12 Humvee Carriers & 435 missiles were produced.

The first of the 12 LOSAT units was delivered to the US Army in October 2002 and the system began a series of 18 production qualification test firings in August 2003, at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.”

Sure Gaijin gave us the LOSAT-AGS configuration, but It’s not like much world change if corrected, it’d still be an underperforming pile of shit due to the missiles having underwhelming acceleration and poor performance due to their implementation.


Literally 96 of them (in total) are on order or to be produced, even with the program’s cancelation. It is Type Classified and is in service with Airborne Battalions.


Been over this before;

Play low br as Russia you win but play top tier br Russia you suffer in ground not as CAS

russian tanks are already balanced and by the way, more than they should.

The armour and small weak spots compensate the lack of gun handling in the early models, but still the same armour layout in the late models while having same gun handling as wester counterparts…

The way they eat shots and are capable of surviving a penetration shot right in the ammo is beyond fantasy

BMPT is ruining an entire tier with its fantasy pro russian delusions - it is relevant. Good attempt at deflecting my point though - as a Russian player would.

Its performance in game is totally detached from combat performance in real life - this is a massive issue, period. Just because you want to gloss over that for the sake of your argument doesn’t make it not reality.

As for the Kh38mt - it is relevant in this dicussion. It is a highly effective weapon system at higher tiers that is completely fabricated - which goes to my point regarding the Russian tree.

Outside of the notable T-34/T-44/T-54/T-72/T-80 examples - all fun and realistic tanks - you get similar situations to the KH38-MT. Fabricated designs, fake equipment and made up stats.

Kh-38MT and BMPT are indicative of the wider Russian tree as a whole and how its viewed/treated by Gaijin.

The majority of the premium side alone on the RU tree is either prototype or never made it to production. Frankly - this would be fine because I understand the need for balance to maintain health. Russians deserve some love too occasionally.

But when this becomes clearly favorited by Gaijin vs its NATO counterparts - as evidenced in the BMPT and other weapon systems - then there’s a problem.

Let’s discuss the fact that turret baskets needed to be nerfed on the Abrams/Leo types because Russian types needed another edge because they can’t balance that module correctly.

I mean I could go on for days and days about how Gaijin has routinely displayed favoritism - blatant favoritism - towards the RU tree.

I’ve also seen much IRL data that contradicts the performance of Russian ERA as its currently executed in game - yet here we are. One russian tank ruining high tiers because Gaijins founders need WT to be a DEI program for Russian egos.

Also - most tanks you listed in your previous argument are actually counterable and requires skill to some extent to be good with for the most part. BMPT does not.

BMPT is quite likely the most overpowered tank I’ve ever seen in WT or WoT and the most detached from actual performance IRL.

Everything you listed actually requires some modicum of skill to play and was likely based on some realistic design/spec.

KH-38MT and BMPT are neither of these and both are significantly more impactful than pretty much everything you listed.

Cope more with the Russian bias by trying to pander whataboutism.

so far. get good. and stop beeing a dogshit with USSR MBTS because they are W holding tanks. best UFP and RNG tanks in this game.

Just like almost every single other tank in the entire game, including Russian ones. They are only considered decent by people who genuinely can’t aim. That also isn’t even what he was talking about in the first place with that vehicle list.

Yes, it was.

It was him trying to run away from criticism of the Russian tree, Kh-38mt, and BMPT by trying to paint the NATO tree’s as similar.

They are not given the severity of gaijin’s favoritism we’ve seen over the past decade plus.

This is not a NATO should be better than RU opinion - its a opinion on the fact that there should be balance centering around actually realistic mechanics, designs and modules which the RU tree clearly lacks at multiple points. I really like playing the T72 and T80 variants - these are objectively great tanks and real. They are overshadowed by the princess bride level fantasy bullshit gaijin constantly tries to inject for the sake of its own personal geopolitics.

No - the BMPT does not take skill to play. No - the 38KHmt does not take skill to use. These items far eclipse anything he listed as a defense.

Are you seriously trying to stand there and tell me the T34 and others of a similar nature are even CLOSE to the battle effectiveness we see from these items?

Play more, post less.
