The T-90 Arena-M’s recent ERA upgrade kit is completely inaccurate to real life, this buff appears to be absolutely baseless. I play top tier 12.7 and am constantly uptiered to this, and players already have it equipped. There is ZERO evidence this has this supposed buff IRL, and honestly I this is discouraging me from even playing the game.
go play World of tanks, it may fit your criteria.
The T-90M was already either one of the weaker 12.7s or at the very very most a middle of the pack one, depending on who you ask. The arena version getting a buff is nothing problematic at all.
Of course a single look at the good old statshark confirms the true nature of this post.
Although it’s totally fair to question wherever Gaijin’s sources to Relikt armor values come from, this is a end-of-the-line vehicle, and I think it’s safe to say that it’s not the most interesting vehicle around there when things like M1A2 SepV3, Leopard 2A7V and T-80BVM exists. T-90M may have better values but there’s something T-90M doesn’t have—mobility, something the three other previously mentioned has, and in good amount.
I mean, I will play mid tier if I want to keep playing this game, and well other games exist as well lol
“True nature of this post”
If it was a better player you would say otherwise… almost (keyword: almost) everyone doesn’t enjoy how unfair it is to play against Russia. Its easy for you to say what you did because Russia is your 2nd most played nation, and you have over 100 ground vehicles in it. :)
It’s not baseless and infact it’s still incomplete

Well i stand corrected then! Ill remove it
Not really, because anyone who complains about the T-90M being OP or unfair immediately reveals that they are in fact not good players.
You are using the Clickbait, a 12.3 or borderline 12.7 MBT placed at 12.0, talk about unfair.
Hell the Clickbait would be a better 12.7 than the T-90M is.
2 Russian vehicles in my top 50 most played nations does surely scream it being my second most played nation lmao.
I have 9 ground trees and 6 air trees researched up to top tier, having 100+ vehicles in a nation tends to happen when you have both the air and ground trees of a nation mostly researched (unless that nation is called Israel).
Most premiums at 12.0 should be at a higher BR, but as always: “we don’t want to allow our players to buy their way to top tier”. And speaking of something placed too low: what do you think about the premium Su-30, which you mostly use?
I uptier my entire us 12.0 lineup to 12.7 because it’s literally irrelevant the difference is so mild it doesn’t matter. And im s below average grb player. Tanks aren’t the main issue at top tier.
I’m sorry but what is your problem with ERA bags that provide exclusively CE protection? Are you using HEAT primarily?
Exactly.
And another point; people are allowed to complain. Seeing as you do in fact believe I am not, thank you for thinking that.
People say level matters in this game but apparently basic common sense doesn’t. Just let me call something unjust if I flipping want to…
M829A2, the top end FSDS on the M1A1
Well then I’m happy to inform you that those bags provide protection only against HEAT, they don’t provide protection against APFSDS. For you this T-90M Arena upgrade changed nothing.
You are allowed to complain, just keep it in the realms of this reality.
Calling something overpowered because you struggle against it is still just that, you struggling.
It appears I have misread your previous comments. I have never been good at ground (my friends peer pressured me into it) and I think 8.7 - 10.3 is my little sweet spot. Maybe I will stay there.
