Russia is OP enough, they could go a year without a new top tier vehicle and it would be fine

Russia is not a tech tree, and Soviets are not OP.
Their vehicles are objectively worse than most.
T-90M would be nice as Soviets only have 1 top BR MBT currently.

+1, I’d like to see this one added with 3BM59.

The T-80U-series, T-72B3, and T-80BVM are pretty effective at top rank.

No, T-80U & T-72B3 have worse armor than nearly all 11.7s with Ariete & Leclerc being the only primary exceptions.
Their ammunition is only as good as Leclerc & Challenger 2’s top round.
Are you telling me you opposed M1A2 SEP being added on the old forum?

No, I’m just making a general statement in the BVM, B3, and T-80U-series. The T-80U’s Kontact-5 is still quite survivable. Not to mention so is the T-90A.

Well sure, M1A1 HC is as survivable as SEP, that doesn’t mean SEP wasn’t wanted nor needed.
T-80U & M1A1 HC are honestly the best analogs to each other.

For the record I want to see the T-90M in-game, I made the suggestion lol.

I’m just saying that the T-80U and the others I mentioned, especially the T-72B3 and T-80BVM, are quite competitive at top rank and have supported the tree’s 60%+ win rate since April. The tree has had a very consistent positive top rank win rates compared to all other nations in-game. While the T-80BVM is the only “top 11.7”, the tree is in no way hurting. Adding the T-90M will only solidify the win rates for the foreseeable future.

Alleged win rates would be because Soviet teams have the better players.
And based on what I experienced in my T-80BVM, I’m inclined to agree with the sentiment.
The amount of NATO players that don’t hit idler wheels is astonishing.

+1 need justification for later M1A2s and M829A3 xD

oh god that looks like it would be a shell eating magnet.

I WILL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK

In War Thunder’s case I don’t think it will feature any mod 2022/2023s. Although I think we will most likely see 2S24 soft bag armor kits on T-90M.

@Yontzee I think you can add 4S24 kit info on T-90Ms too, since Gaijin loves giving it to modern Russian tanks like T-72B3/T-80BVM.

It will just end up being another variant or a modification.

I hope it will be a modification

It’s highly likely going to be the same as when the T-72B3 and T-80BVM receieve their modifications. I forgot to add the photos of the vehicle with the Relikt Soft-ERA bags so I’m glad someone did.

This would be a nice MBT for Russia tree, good job on the information sheet and links :)

Some tanks got a new transmission 15kmh rearward, allegedly. I’ve seen at least 1 video with a reverse over 4kmh.

That’s the version we need in the game.
