Well, it’s because its stock and i rarely play Russia.
Yeah that’s what i think, but since i watch multiple WarThunder content creators they seem to suffer from the same fate, they shoot a really good shot at the known weakspots and they just come out alive and well.
I already said to you that spalling is determined by residual penetration left, so 3BM60 quite literally can’t spall more than DM53 for example. This is like 3rd or 4th time I’m asking you for evidence on your claim, so I hope you’ll get out something.
You do realize SS holds millions of games worth of data and that thing shows uparmored Leopards are still the kings by a largin margin, right ?
Same with French mains, they also escaped this mechanic.
Merkava is a driving weakspot.
Even if thats true 3bm60 is a good round for that BR and Russia does not need a better shell, what we need is better darts for NATO to counter Kontakt which should’ve been added with the 2A7,B+,SEPV2 but it would make some people mad that’s why they did not.
Germany is a popular nation and more people started playing after the 2A7 addition + they get paired most of the time with the big three (Russia,Germany,Sweden) against hopeless nations, so i doubt those statistics.
Russian mains were happy enough to gaslight everyone that complained about basket implementation being wrong, i haven’t seen any French main do the same.
Merkavas are more survivable than the Abrams right now, and i’m talking from experience as i have both of them at 12.0 and i can say they’re more playable now after the basket nerf.
It’s true and 3BM60 on it’s own is just a mediocre shell for top tier. Pair that with below average reload speed and you get a really mid firepower.
K5 can already be countered by DM53 L/55 and that thing got added with 2A6 years ago.
But you don’t doubt your 100 games per month ?
Also, what you claimed there is pretty much an anecdote.
Doesn’t change the fact France for some reason also escaped this mechanic.
You’re talking from your experience which simply doesn’t need to be a fact.
NATO mains did the same thing lol especially US mains, they says things like autoloader eat spalls or “it doesn’t affect them one bit bro”, meanwhile these guys hadn’t actually played them much while the players who played them has to repair their autoloader module every time they get shot…
Your evidence for you claim?
You also have no basic proof of your claim either and you also do not have any Top Tier Merkava, i on the other hand have both of those nations spaded and i can back my claim with my countless battles.
Also @SPANISH_AVENGER agreed with my claim.
Doesn’t change the fact that Russian mains gaslighted every person that complained about the implementation.
Atleast you can move and shoot back once, if you get shot at 99% it spalls to your engine, in the Abrams case you need to extinguish the fire in the hydraulic pump (30sec repair) and if you extinguish it in the right time you will die during seconds or even less.
Load up the game and shoot at it.
Better yet if you have a friend who can serve as a target dummy.
DM53 going through K5 has been common knowledge for years now.
Lol.
The same dude that said 0.3 BR doesn’t matter.
You did the same thing with the T-90M though. You don’t have the T-90M yet you convinced yourself that it is a good tank because you struggle against it (?) and have seen some CCs struggle against it (?).
And I say convinced yourself because calling the T-90M mid is already being very generous. There is a reason why the majority of the decent players shit talk/clown on it so much.
I like that a thread which was originally meant to talk about gaijin foldering similar vehicles (in this case the T-72B3A with the T-72B3) has gotten completely derailed and devolved into russian bias whinning.
Peak of the WT forums right here…
Even if that’s right, not every NATO nation get the same pen stats as DM53, M829A3 is needed considering the SEPV2 came with zero upgrades
The same dude that is extremely knowledgeable about ground tanks unlike you.
Don’t know about that, was just saying NATO can indeed counter K5 at this point in time.
Knowledgeable but saying stuff like that.
Still doesn’t change the fact that darts made especially to counter Kontakt should’ve came ages ago, but here we are.
I mean he’s more knowledgeable than you.
Ammunition is being changed based on balancing needs, so I doubt it was needed ages ago.
If you need to rely on lolpenning K5 tanks you’re doing something wrong.
It’s stupid that the T-72B3A is 12.0 and unfoldered to begin with. They should be foldered and most importantly both should be 11.7.
(You could even argue 11.7 for the B3 and 11.7 for the B3A (still foldered), but that would be off topic again.)
Almost every NATO nation can still be penned by 3bm42, even the 2A7 is still vulnerable to some of the oldest rounds in the game, also K5 should be penned by every Top Tier round and Russian armour is overrated as stated in this thread below:
Gaijin can simply give us how they got their exact mesurements and sources to make almost every Russian tank’s hull impossible to pen by almost every Top Tier round in big 2025.
Top tier tanks are still vulnerable to the likes of 105mm DM23 so I don’t know what you’re trying to say here.
All i’m saying is Russian armour is overrated and shouldn’t be as it is right now and rounds like A3 should’ve came with SEPV2, a pretty simple thing honesly.
That’s just your opinion and pretty wild take at that.
Considering it came with zero armour upgrade unlike the 2A7,B+,T90M, a new round isn’t a bad idea.
Maybe in the recent future as a way to dethrone uparmored leopards which have been dominating for years now.
