Russia has by far the worst BRs for their tanks ingame: T-72AV at 10.3 with good thermals while T-80UD (at the same BR) doesn’t have thermals/T-80U-E1 at 12.0 being better than the tech tree T-80U (premiums should be weaker than the tech tree vehicles, not stronger, cuz that makes it P2W. it’s like adding a F-15 with AIM-120D as a premium while everyone else needs to conform with old AIM-120C-5s in the tech tree F-15. except squadron/event vehicles, premium should and in the past WERE weaker versions of better and more modern vehicles that were researcheable, or just sidegrades of the same tech tree ones like the TO-55, T-55AM-1, BMD-4/4M).
i didn’t play with some of the tanks i mentioned (i only own the T-80UD thx to warbonds crates) but i have seen enough people using them very well + the good stats they have for such BRs and im pretty sure that they should go up at least 0.3 (T-72AV (TURMS-T) should be 10.7 due to thermals just like T-80B which has the same Kontakt-1 ERA/ T-80UD should get thermals as modification since some of them were modernized with NVD upgrades, which means it could historically go to 10.7 and get thermals while losing Kontakt-5, or go to 11.0 while keeping Kontakt-5 + thermals).
also i want to talk a bit about CAS options for russian GRB: things like the Su-25/Su-22M3 are at 10.0 while there’s almost no 10.0 tank in the russian tech tree (only 2S25M). Su-25T/MiG-27K/Su-24M 11.3 (no 11.3 tank in the russian tech tree).
there’s a lot of vehicles that should go up in BR due to absurdly good performance like the T-90A, T-72B3, etc.
