I’d be fine with it being a sprut with 10 degrees of depression, I’d play the 2s25m at 12.0 if it didn’t have 5 degrees. I’m guessing its probably more mobile, and has a lower profile? As well as being immune to some auto canons, that’s def playable light tank at top tier.

You play the tanks at medium to long range, and if you’re stuck in CQC you play behind the more mobile tanks.
BVM’s T-80B turret from BR 10.3 as well as lack of CITV do make it difficult for its intended role of medium range combat.
The playstyle of Soviet stuff is similar to that of Challenger 2, where you have to play more cautiously.
If you angle you get ammo racked.
I mean everything Russian in this game overperforms Compared to IRL counterparts. And someone posting saying Russia suffers is a complete Idiot lol You have Fake missiles on planes that never existed UFP on tanks that eat everything. Even though after testing on the T90M that occurred last year in the US M829A2 can 100% pen the UFP its wild and bias

That is the tricky part, you got to adapt whenever key ERA blocks gets hit and gone, such as the sideskirts or the ones on the turret.
As the idea suggests, playing around its passive advantages it’s hard at first because of how counterintuitive it may be, but most of the time, if played right enough, Soviet/Russian top tier is among the best to hold or even contest objectives, unlike NATO stuff (except the aforementioned leo 2A7-122 series). Combined with their already overkill CAS power, it’s one of the most rounded nations for the gamemodes top tier offers.
While it is a undeniable fact on penetration, gun handling and realoading, they still vastly outperform NATO vehicles in the protection department from 11.0. While they’re able to withstand both the best rounds in the game in their most prominent hull area, most of blufor hulls are incapable to resist 3BM42. And that’s a piece of asymetrical balance the game has already strengthened enough to tweak it now.

Is this just another NAFO twitter cope or do you have a source on this that isn’t just a report saying trust me bro?
And lets just say thats the case, the game is balanced around BR if the t90 is getting lolpenned at 12.0 its not gonna stay at 12.0, and then what its going to be crying about percieved undertiered russian tanks then when its 11.3 or whatever?
Also no one wants to play that 4km reverse tractor at 12.0 anyways, if anything gaijin is just throwing crappy russian stuff at higher tiers to fill out the tree and keep parity with other nations. Getting another t72 variant at 12.0? this patch that no one is going to want to play over the bvm.

Kh-38MT is not everything.
UFP on T-series tanks work 100% correctly LOS. They overperform if you shoot the plate flat-on which… is impossible to do cause it’s 68 degrees.

High Tier Russian tanks aren’t good. Anyone who says otherwise often sucks at the game and doesn’t have any high tier Russian tanks. They blame their inability to aim for weakspots found on 9.3 tanks on the Russian tanks being godlike. Their only advantage is armor profile, and unlike NATO tanks, cannot hide their weakspots (LFP, Driver’s Port) due to the lack of depression. This is compensated with even more flaws such as poor gun handling, worst-in-class reloads, horrendous reverse speeds, etc. The only reason someone plays Russia is for the CAS.

When the patch hits and people realize CAS players don’t generally suck as much at 12.0+ as they do below there, and the new SPAA isn’t hitting anyone farther than 8km its going to be nothing but crying about the kh38 again.
And if these new radars are going to pick up s80 rockets as targets like the pantsir does zunis and people catch on to shooting a dumb rocket salvo to overwhelm these systems its not even going to be able to shoot down agms either.

Finished Germany, grinded upto HSTV-L on USA, decided to grind russia for the cool looking t90m but found the grind to be abysmal. Is it just me or do most russian tanks just feel terrible to use? Like with the slow reloads, slow turret traverse, poor to mid mobility and terrible gun depression? the only tanks i really enjoyed were the Obj906, ZSU-57-2 and the t44’s

Don’t get me wrong, bias is still there probably, just in other ways.

T-80BVM is a pretty obvious, is a modernization of the T-80B while the left behind T-80U is somewhat better excluding the numerous modernization upgrades given to the T-80B.
You can’t made USSR more enjoyable when you have two main battle tanks and while one of them is completely unreliable for the current Meta in ground realistic battles, this may change in ground simulator battles, is a case-to-case situation.
Thank you for confirming how Forum users’ brain tend to be just boiling fluid that can’t actually bring a decent discussion to the table rather than barking crap. Regardless, your participation in this discussion is just to derail and bring into a off-topic loop hole until this is locked by a moderator.
Saying Russian equipment overperform you’re not considering who is operating the machine, or let’s say M1A1 SA is doing greately currently in Eastern Europe same to the boxed T-72s and T-80s. The Kremlim walls is falling and the bicolor flag is flying in the highest building.
