[quote]not to undermine your personal experience, but in my experience playing Sweden toptier (stock with DM33, mind you) since the patch dropped, I feel like playing against russians is alot more manageable than with them. Absolute worst case, I can pop a T80BVM or T90M by just getting his gun, then killing his driver twice through the lower plate, given I don’t just detonate the ammo or fuel the first time or get one or two crew members while shooting the breach.
But the way Russians play right now is just so terrible. Alot of them are blind or rush you thinking they’re invincible just to get their gun popped and send back to the respawn screen.[/quote]
I can’t say if that’s all of them, or if that’s an influx of old “new” players who want to jump through premium vehicles to grind for the newest and best.

And with the questionable manner in which certain high tier rounds overpen my front plate and detonate my ammo, particularly with Russian or Chinese rounds, I’m inclined to give bombastic sideeye to the developers with repeated player reports explaining what happened.[/quote]
As a former tanker, I know exactly how many rounds to carry to keep Abrams’ hull clear.
In my experience, at least 1 in 7 or 1 in 8 times when I’m killed in an Abrams, there is no flight path of the round shown. Instead I simply ammo det.
I have seen kill cams show DM53, 3BM42, 3BM60, and Chinese/Japanese high tier rounds overpen the front of my turret, through the loader, and through the ammo door before detonating.
Others, it won’t show a kill cam. Instead I die, and it only shows the tank that killed me. No shell trajectory to speak of.
Which makes me question how they did it.
