The new win rates and K/D has come out, and it doesn’t show a fair picture at top tier ground RB.
Win Rates
K/D
As we can see in both USSR / Russia is doing worst in both, by a considerable amount. Ignoring Germany, because they are actually just bad players. We know this to be true because Italy, France and Sweden all use Leopards at top tier as well.
I think the T-14 is needed because it will address the T-90Ms problem of poor fire power and mobilty.
The T-14 will have Vacuum-1 shell with 900mm PEN, this will help counter new Abrams armor upgrade. But also better mobility with 80km top speed and 30km reverse speed, compared to T-90m top speed of 60km and revrese speed of 4km.
A T-90M2 with a better reverse speed is all that is needed. Plus looking at what we know about the T-14’s turret armor profile it seems like the Puma in that it would be constantly repairing the main gun.
As if you can’t already turret ring or lfp the abrams, who in their right mind even shoots at the turret cheeks.
Are you just going to completely ignore the fact that Russian players at top tier are also horrible? You just excuse Germany because you think that the leopards in other nations prove that they are amazing, when really sweden has 4 2a7 armored leopards, france has 2 leopards which are base models, and italy has the best 2a7 but even then, a nations winrate at top tier is almost entirely dictated by how popular said nation is. This is why you see the U.S., Germany, and Russia with the lowest winrates.
Definitely, anything over a bland copy and paste T-80 or T-72. Hopefully next-generation vehicles are planned to at least late 2027. Top tier is in need of new content.
