I love the people that say o Russian bias exists but they try to center mass every Russian MBT from the front and then when there round gets eaten by copious amounts of ERA they wonder why it didn’t pen
As somebody who is playing Russia I’m telling you there is no Russian bias you just getting gaijined And yes it happens more with the Russian tanks because in this game ERA is a very badly modeled I had multiple experiences when enemy round just ignore my era or sometimes my era stops the round it should have not
You have to learn to just deal with this game not being perfect

i scan around with CITV on the abrams
it has thermal which help with spotting easier
binocular isnt very like entire useful when u have CITV that has more zoom
binocular is only use when the obstacle are too high to be see with CITV

Be careful, anyone who’s played Russia is not allowed to deny Russian bias, because they are quite obviously Russian sympathizers. Only people who have never played the tanks they claim are OP can put out the factual statement that Gaijin prefers Russia.

The only OP thing which is also AMAZINGLY annoying is KH38MT…the platform itself is meh but that non existing missile is really making top tier unbearable

Skill issue
Problem i have with that is if your command optic is able to see stuff your tank is exposed, open you up to getting slapped on the roof with HE and makes you visible to light tanks for scouting if you werent already.
I hate scouting so much, game would be so much better without it, if ground sim had friendly markers even just on the mini map, and didnt have abysmal que times i would migrate there. Gaijin making it so drones give you los for scouting last patch or whatever has made it almost unbearable, half my matches look like arcade now.

I dont think its going away, and even worse I think we will instead see more nations getting these and every 12.0+ match is just going to be a race to get into planes.
New sams arent even going to counter what is already happening with CAS kh38 aside.
Honestly Id make airplanes as expensive as nukes since they are VERY well capable of nuking the whole team. If the missiles are to stay which obviously they are, make them expensive or the SPAA should have at least 20km of reliable range so that airplanes cant get to dunk on everything on the ground without being contested
Just remove airstrike from light vics, maybe increase sp cost by like 20% and CAS will be spammed out a lot less. Airstrike is the absolute worst offender, combined with drones its just dumb.
CAS actually does take a good bit of skill to pull off in the 8.0+ brackets beyond suiciding for a kill. Its just cancer when someone that knows how to play spawns a light vic and sits in spawn with a drone scouting or rushes a cap gets a few scouts off dies and is in a fully loaded plane in like 1 min into the match.
CAS should also not be able to see anything but squad pings and “pay attention” pings, seeing scouts and hit markers and now having access to the ground map makes it way too easy, and it also adds to the absolute pain that being scouted causes.

I wonder what will happen when he gets his hands on a Challenger 2 and the rest of the joke that is british top tier…

I’d rather play British top tier tanks over Russian ones.

Cons of russian tanks:
-bad reverse speed
-bad mobility for the most part
-the T-80s being the “mobile ones” arent really that mobile
-medicore/bad gun handling
-reload speed
-autoloader
-hole in armors (99% of shots destroy your breach)
-gun depression
Pros:
-they look cool
As you can see, the Pros outweights the cons, because the cool factor is one of the most important vehicle characteristic.

Mostly have had an good time playing Russian tech tree only part that I really didn’t like was 7.7-8.0 bracket in ground
I guess you could also add overall smaller weak spots compared to nato tanks (much smaller lfp and breach) to the pros
ka52 is the only worthwhile thing russian top tier has thats worth investing time in. The mbts have fixed capability output, same with the kh38 slingers really
Russian tanks are good sniping vehicles, honestly. Brawlers? Meh, armor can work against panic shots, but players with good muscle memory will just shoot the weak spots, when they know what they’re against.
Mobility’s not the best forward but is worst backwards. Their survivability is almost zero as well; get shot in the fuel tanks? 99% of the time will lead to fuel explosion. Generally penetrated? Either your ammo will cook off or your crew will die to spall or the direct impact with the dart.
With bad mobility comes bad reload speed, which isn’t a good combo in the top tier. This is a huge con in brawling. You could use the 2s25m for brawling, but who would do that? Even with good firepower and mobility, it’s not 50cal proof and is big. Also the FCS is a bit lacking; decent horizontal traverse, but still has that bad vertical traverse, like in any 9.3-11.7 t-series tank.
As always, tanks being Russian means that they have no gun depression, which is only -6° maximum. So good luck finding a flat spot that isn’t in the middle of nowhere.
At least they look cool, no?
