The top tier is unplayable thanks to the USSR

Non-expert Abrams crew reload in 5.7s, which is still faster than any T-series tank in the game.

Permanent 6s. You lost you 5s when the loader died but the 6s is “permanent” as long as you fix the autoloader.

And don’t forget those are the majority at top tier

Are those non-expert full upgraded crew?

Probably, and you should already have leadership/weapon reloading maxed out by the time you get 10.7

ammo racking the BMPT is impossible, if u didn’t know.
also getting the driver’s port is hard since it’s the smallest weakspot in russian tanks.

u need to understand that one shotting a BMPT in a public match is almost impossible, there’s too many factors u need to keep in mind like more enemies around u, BMPT’s awareness, speed, distance, and also and idk why tf does it exist: RNG

u don’t even need an As crew to get a good reload, even with an experienced crew (which may give u something between 5.3/5.8/6.3secs reload) u can still out-reload most russian tanks.
btw NATO tanks have way better cannons, mobility and depression, so skill issue if u can’t kill a russian tank which are some of the easiest ones to kill.

did u know russian tanks are easier to kill cuz they have 3 crew members while ur fat american cheeseburger freedom superiority M1 Abrams has 4 crew members? 1 crew member can make a huge difference between life and death, even in toptier.

btw i just discovered that “amazing” 6.0secs reload is half true, since the best russian APFSDS makes the autoloader have a longer reload than 6.0secs, so basically u’re fighting a 6.4secs reload vs. a crew 5/6secs reload.

lmao fixing autoloader? wonder if u can fix the autoloader without exploding in 1000 different parts and making ur turret fly 25m.

skill issue and it’s their problem, they’re the noobs who decided to pay to get a BR they don’t know how to play with a lvl 1 crew. are u one of those? shame on u, i have Leopard 2A4M without As crew and im not crying cuz my reload is longer than a russian MBT, in that case i use my braincells and hide to reload safely or abuse my neutral steering to face my frontal armor to it all the time if it’s trying to flank me.

but shouldn’t it be 7.0secs then???

Curious then how I don’t have the same issues penetrating side armour of Russian MBT’s.

I’ve actually on multiple occasions started recording each and every match I played, and then compiled data on every shot I had taken against a Russian MBT.

I did not encounted a single instance of side armour absorbing or defeating my APFSDS when it should not have.

I’m very much inclined to stick with this being a Skill Issue™ on your part.

actually the side ERA of the toptier russian MBTs can absorb APFSDS like nothing, but that would happen in a veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery rare case.
i mostly think it’s just RNG doing it’s job, i just got killed by a Maus’ 75mm HEAT shell which has 115mm of pen while playing my IT-1, and the 115mm of penetration at 0º degrees literally penetrated my 58º UFP like nothing, and in the hitcam in the lobby it literally showed me how that shot SHOULD NOT have penetrated (IT-1 has 100mm of UFP armor at 58º, 75mm HEAT can’t go through it).

and it’s not the first time i get trolled by RNG, more than once i got killed by the same HEAT shell in the IS-4M cuz idk how it had hit my turret ring and magically overpressured my entire tank.

Any response here?
