Having grinded TTD but 105mm HEATFS with 400mm pen and no machine gun to cut tree is pure pain. Is it too conspiracy to say that stock HEAT is just Gaijin favoring for soviet tanks with ERA

I guess no other nation has ERA on their tanks at different tiers, right ?

Aren’t Abrams and Leopard 2 also almost immune to HEATFS??

Remember, the game is made to be frustrating so you will spend money to bypass it with boosters, premium, and premium vehicles, etc…
While I’m sure the devs have biases, the biggest reason for imbalances is simply to make you open your wallet in hopes to avoid it.

All composite armour is a hard counter to shape charge shot.

russian ERA overperforms to hell and back but its not related to stock HEAT

I think all ERA is overperforming ngl

Other than the NATO ERA which has the stopping power of hot camembert

Fox. challenger. Harrier

Are we pretending like ussr doesn’t make up like 80% of the ERA tanks?

14

yeah you just get zero ways to deal with light armor besides god awful HESH and also get no good modern dart (in war thunder)

15

That’s simply not true.

16

Yeah there’s so many western MBTs with the amount of frontal ERA the russians have! Totally!

The western ERA surely is just as good too right?

17

Israel on it’s own has 7 ERA equipped tanks in it’s TT, just one less than Russia.
I won’t even count in China.

So yeah, saying USSR has 80% of all ERA equipped tanks is simply wrong.

18

So according to you, NATO is the Soviets.
France, USA, Israel all using ERA. Clearly according to your post they’re in reality the Soviets.

@AllNationEnjoyer
You mean Magachs?

Israel, not coincidentally, is the #1 user of ERA for non-ussr tanks! You also didn’t include any premiums

I haven’t felt the need to include premiums as it was very obvious USSR doesn’t have 80% of all ERA tanks. But if you want to count non-TT vehicles in as well, here you go:
USSR: +6
Israel: +3

China also has 9 TT tanks with ERA + 4 non-TT ones.
