Thing is
It’s a cop out for gaijin to nerf vehicles
It outright needs to be removed.
You can’t balance it with nato vehicles
Can’t balance it with any nation
So therefore it needs to be removed

I also suggested this as well
We need to get rid of fuel explosions

I’ve seen several times Russian-Chinese fuel tanks eat loads of APFSDS and nothing happens.
i would have posted this also but i am to lazy to write all that stuff

I remember hearing somewhere that fuel tanks are bugged and sometimes when you kill a tank it will say it died to a fuel explosion even if it died to crew loss or ammo detonation
Yes, but I’m talking about the times when its clear ONLY the fuel tank was hit (or fuel tank + other non explosive modules)
its already in the game
look at the M60-120S(shoot out driver it becomes a turtle)or abrams see what happen when u struck the front fuel tank
Send a video to the devs they’d be more than happy to fix that for you.
If you’re shooting a T-90M btw it’s not happening unless it’s the engine and only a small section of it (the Russian mains had to literally data mine and submit multiple bug reports like spamming it to get that fixed)
All Russian tanks have a “chance” of it happening
It’s not 100% guaranteed it never is but it’s still a major factor in unskilled 1 shot kills on Russian vehicles

It is but we aren’t talking about that. That’s obviously tho.
I have a video of the 2S38 during testing where if you only shoot the fuel tank
10/10 times
No spalling on the crew
It always kills the tank in 1 shot

Just like they’re fixing every damn issue in every tank everyday.
You do realize they gaslight us right?
That’s why it is that the stuff that needs to be fixed and made historically accurate/balanced isn’t
Yeah that’s what i meant when you said send a video, people already did but they respond with “We don’t think” “We don’t know” “We’re not sure”, that’s their way of saying Nah cry about it.

If only you knew
If only you knew man istg you would be even more disgusted.
To put this in perspective
Go look at the model of the TKX
You see how modeled that is? How much detail there is?
What if I told you everything about that tank is incorrect. What if I told you gaijin was handed over 1,200 pages from the JSDF and Mitsubishi heavy industries LTD and they still got nothing right.
To put this into even more perspective the type 10 and TKX are smaller width wise than the T-90 and same width as the T-72 and same length almost as T-90 yet only being taller than those 2
Yet in game depicted as being almost as big as the leopard lmao. They even got that wrong and were handed the documents for kt
That’s literally how every tank in the game other than the Russian ground being modeled incorrectly.
Just like the Merkava being twice the size of a t72 but having less armor.
Fuel tanks do one of two things; eat the round entirely whilst setting on fire and acting like bloody composite armour, or detonating catastrophically removing the vehicle from the corporeal realm. There’s not really an in-between.

Except merkava does have less armor
It’s not unprotected it’s just not meant for this type of warfare.
At most they’ll face T-55’a or maybe just maybe T-62’s
Not modern day tanks. Merkava was made for a particular mission (which outside of the type 10 and TKX and if you want to argue armata fine) which is the reason its the best tank IRL
The tank was made for their environment
To go against the weapons they will face over there. Hence why it doesn’t have a lot of kinetic protection but a ton of heat and tandem shaped protection
This is also why the engine is in the front because unlike kinetic rounds HEAT and tandem will have a hard time just going through the block of an engine.
It fits its mission the best. This is also why I believe they shouldn’t have ever added Israel to the game. Cause to bring it to top tier you’d have to make it unrealistic and to do a job it was not designed to do. It doesn’t fit in warthunder but you get what you get. If they fixed the merkava you’d get at most 400mm of kinetic round protection on the turret cheeks and that’s it. So we can’t complain there
So remove both and we can all be happy
Also the reason why the T-72’s are so well armored is simply due to 2 things
1 their composite just works
2nd any slack the composite has in protection is made up for by the ERA. Which they weren’t the ones who created it, they were the ones who pioneered it and made it is what it is today.
It’s actually ingenious how Russian ERA works. To put this in perspective, to only get a boost of 50mm of protection the Ukrainians had to double if not triple the explosive mass in their ERA
Meanwhile relikt is only 50mm less in protection against kinetic yet is way lighter than the Ukrainian counterpart. (More explosive mass is not the answer cause it can lead to hull integrity issues when struck)
