Serious Balance Issues with Russian Vehicles in War Thunder

Abrams is bad in game, thats fact.
Any point/opinion that isnt simillar to your - wrong? Or what?

Or… it’s the gen 17 “Black hole” armor upgrade.

See look:

I don’t even think even your fellow bias enjoyers would agree with that statement
It’s also not how flyer plate ERA works so…

It’s not bad, I actually quite enjoy it.

Challenger is inconsistent in the sense that its armor may, or may not, withstand a shell.

Abrams is inconsistent in the sense that it may either die in one shot, or be severely crippled by said shot only to be finished off in a second shot.

In terms of survivability, I’m keeping the Challenger xD.

“Surviving” a shot is worthless when each and every single one of your modules is destroyed by it, along with half of the crew.

I dont have it cuz it behind pay wall but lets take another russian bias tank as example
I recently started to grind germany and when i got to t72 i creamed over myself
This is my best performing tank it was heaven to play a russian tank that have autoloader armor and good gun with the low profile i got 2 nukes before i even fully spaded it
Same with t44 and t54(exept the nukes) russian bias is so real
And 2s38 is the most op russian bias maybe after the pantsir
Try to play small nation learn the game and come back to the 2s38 with knowladge i promise u u will farm nukes
Oh also is3 was strong
In israel i played the tiran 6 which is t62 wasent bad at all either
U dont see how russia has berly if any bad vehicles? Rly?

The 2A7V (and by extention the 122B) are the best because they are a incredibly well rounded, 6.0 second reload, amazing atmour layout, amazing spall liner, amazing dart, amazing optics, amazing engine, amazing reverse, amazing turret… must I continue?
They are an absolute joy to play because they do everything well

Yeah, the Abrams’ only inkling of survivability is that small broken spot that for some reason literally makes shells and spalling disappear entirely xD.

It’s kinda funny how the only way the Abrams can survive being hit is a… bug.

If saying the 3rd or 4th best MBT at top tier is bad, than that just makes over half of the MBTs in game awful by extension, no?

Dude it’s all over that lower plate…

But if you look closely, the 152mm round LITERALLY passed through the drivers arm, the gunners leg, and the commanders foot.

But it killed nobody?

T-72A best is the best tank? dude it still january please hold the best joke until december

Well, a lot of nations has an alternative tank, it is bad
And it isnt in top 3-4, if youre considering all of toptier tanks

Ariete cries in the corner

All of that is found on russian tanks with the advantage of an autoloader, more munitions to choose from, better acceleration and better protection at the expense of a slower reverse. The dart pen doesn’t matter since it doesn’t give you any more room for error against russian tanks compared to 2A5 or even worse darts.
It’s a good all rounder and like I said the gap isn’t as big as it is with the Abrams, but the Tseries are still better. They only suffer against the 2A7 because they never needed to aim before.

Please explain to me how autoloader is an advantage exept from the fact that it allows to shoot during extinguishing fire ?

Why you need to use Ariete, when Italy has Leopard 2A7?

My list goes:
Leopards (2a7 and Strv 122)
T-series (Bvm and 90M)
TKX/Type 10
M1A2 SEP/V2
Ztz-99a
Merkava mk4
Leclercs
Challengers 2e, BN
Arietes

Consistent reload at any crew level, helping newbies tremendously.
Also consistent throughout the fight, so a hurt T80 will be far more effective and reload way faster than a hurt Leopard. Important for late game.
I’d say these are the main advantages, along with the one you mentioned.
