Yes. Look at the Chinese tree and Gaijin putting the VT4A1 at the end of the tree despite worse armour, mobility (including reverse speed), and slightly worse performing gun, simply because of APS. (Than WZ1001(E) LCT)
(Though, the APS does cockblock those of us who bring missile slingers to top-tier, lol)
APS pretty much only works against ATGMs while Relikt bags could produce some interesting results and block a lot of damage.
B3 and B3A should be at the same BR, foldered.
One of the most annoying things at top tier is Spikes lol the APS do make them completely useless, and they also carry very limited ammo so one tank with APS will eat all their ammo for breakfast, this is based on my experience with T-80UM2, might motivate me enough to crew the B3A, because if it stop drone’s missile then hell yeah I’m coming after you baby
Yeah, same. What I like about the B3A (I haven’t bothered unlocking yet, just been taking out in test drives) is the number of charges for the APS and the overall coverage of the APS system. The APS system looks to have a good reaction time, and enough threat velocity coverage for basically any missile it’ll face. I’d probably still get annoyed using it because of that reverse speed, but whatever, lol.
vs VT4
There is someone here who completely nullified the weakness of reverse speed, you can check the replay of @PompousMagnus, he has like 5KD on the T-90M and just charges at enemies like they owes him money, one of the best W-pressers I’ve ever seen, it comes from the reaction time and aim accuracy, might learn a thing or two from him.
How can people not notice BIAS when NATO still decades behind Russia in “Mostly” everything, also i still remember which nation got spall liners first.
Who gives a shit about the age of the technologies lol it’s all about overall performance, have you played the game post-SPAA update? RU is in a pretty bad state now, even I start playing top tier again and USA win most of the matches against RU, German still the top dog and this is perhaps the most matches I hadn’t ate any KH-38 for the past 4 years lol
Something being newer doesn’t mean it’s better, so using that angle as evidence is pretty much useless.
BR is based on performance, not year of introduction.
As for spall liners, you could use that if they haven’t implemented them for other vehicles in the same patch.
Gaijin could have given us the new M2 version of the T90M that will probably start to be manufactured with ARENA M, it will also have the same amount of reverse gears as it has forward
prob it doesnt even exist yet.
After the community ranted about it solely being in the T90M.
If that’s the case then KH38MT should sit at 20.0 since nothing comes close to its capabilities.
They could easily deny it by saying “not enough info” or “for balancing purposes”, but they didn’t.
Newsflash, ordnance doesn’t hold BR of their own.
You still forget about the first tank ever to come to WarThunder with spall liners was a Russian tank, which only adds to more BIAS comments.
Then it should’ve came with a more proper Aircraft like the SU35, but nah they added it with the SU25SM3 and vaporized Top Tier for months.
Maybe on dev server, IIRC more vehicles got it before patch dropped.
It was still a top tier subsonic with 4 AGMs.
Basically free food for any CAP.
They have really messed things up with compression at top tier though.
Pretty bad tank all things considered, BVM is just objectively better for what is required in the game currently. It can work it has very troll armor and troll internal spalling damage. But the slow reverse and slow reload really works agaisnt you. Even with Arena T90M would still be extremely mid. The new tank is just meh B3A is one of the most bland additions ever. T90/B3A are not nearly as bad as the challenger but they are close.
Russia as a whole isnt “suffering” per-se but compared to the power nations currently mainly Germany they are just way behind in terms of tank performance. But you can solve this by force queuing with Russia/germany and curb stomp america teams.
Skill issue, I consider the T90M to be very good, except for the reverse speed and reload time.
Oh boy, time to mute this topic before we descend into skill issue mud slinging
Bro you don’t wanna go that route lol that guy is GOAT, you have him on your team your winning rate automatically goes >80%
