T-72B3A (Arena-M): 4-Lines of Defense

This foldered with the T-72B3 while the T-90M with APS foldered with T-90M. Russia have an abundance of top tier vehicles so would be great if added +1

Before they added that, we do already have options to try out RU style vehicles with great reverse speed, that’s Chinese MBT2000 and their 12.0s, they are the closest things to the RU counterpart in terms of size, FCS and slightly worse armor profile.

The object 021 exists

Very true but they are all in the Chinese tech tree and I did not research it. It will take a long time for me to get the crew levels up at a high enough level to be competitive. Perhaps they might add the Burlak as a squadron vehicle next update?

Can try the Al Khalid, technically a premium MBT2000 with better thermals, that thing slaps, it has top tier round and very good mobility and workable gun depression, I see it is 50% off now, if you have the cash then maybe also get the VT-5 lol

Yes I can get them but I am a complete zero in Chinese tech tree which means crew level 1 beginners cant get expert and subsequently ace. That is the sole reason why I kinda stopped where I am at in terms of grinding the rest of the nations crew levels and the long grind.

Game designed in a way to make you spend money to skip suffering lol I don’t play with 0 lvl crew either, I just 1000 eagle for new crew slot which gets them to level 70-80 territory, straight away make them expert too.

Exactly, that is why I will not get the Khalid cause I will need a line up which means around 5 crew slots an extra 5 thousand golden eagles, plus no vehicles to add at such a high br.

I got to 11.0 by playing mostly premium T-62 and Type 69 that I bought during Chinese new year along with Object 122 without touching 1.0 to 8.0, that’s a four mbts which is more than enough to make a good line up. So there’s some research penalty, by looking at the match count it should be somewhere 250-300 matches to get to 11.0

Thats pretty good, those are some good premium vehicles. Which nations have you fully researched in ground vehicles?

This plus the T-14 Armata. Maybe a T-90M Obr. 2023/24 with it’s APS would be suitable too. Russian top tier is in a sorry state right now, their MBTs have the worst win rate out of any major nation (excluding USA with it’s premium spam).

Yes Russian tanks are not doing well at the moment, but then there is airpower to use, unfortunately the SM has gone up in br but not the tank so to have the ultimate experience you have to que up for 5 minutes.

What stats are you using because the ones I’ve seen is that they’re a a 59-68% win rate:


I’d say they’re doing pretty well overall, doing the best out of the big 3.

Still though, agree with the addition of the T-90M w/ Arena-M too. Every nation should get an APS-capable vehicle or a few of them.

USSR is doing well in terms of win rate but I think that is mainly due to air power rather than tanks.

Germany struggling on top tier is… huh?

Worth noting , top attack ammunition used for the testing is captured Javelin.

It was already stated couple of years ago ( by Vladimir Kharkin, KBM head of developpment ) that Arena-M did provide full hemispherical protection and could defeat all missile threats incl top attack rounds like Javelin and Spike :

We got visual confirmation of that !

Seems pointless when the make believe ERA performance makes these tanks immune to the missiles tested…Unless the ERA in reality cannot be trusted

You give every nation APS…Where does that leave vehicles that olnly have APS and are barely competitive? CR2 BN, Merkava 4M…

Gaijin is failing at balancing this game and now the best armoured performing tanks in the game will also have APS to go with all the other strengths they have?

At this point put the German/Swedish, Russian and American BR so much higher so Ariete, Leclerc, CR2/3 and others arent just a constant stream of food.
