I need more coffee before dealing with this.

1- This is identical on all tanks in the game.
NATO tanks do not produce spall and never have.
You even admit they don’t by mentioning that the Abrams armored steel produces spall, and not the fuel tank.
2- They pop off like fireworks.
3- Chally 2 doesn’t have a basket at all.
People voted for autoloaders/baskets, and that’s what we got. Gaijin listening to and implementing feedback.
4- Only the T-90M and T-72B. The rest are fairly large, especially in close quarters where you’re forced to show side armor.
5- Refer to the existing topics.

That happens with most fuel tanks tho its not just a russia issue.
Fat yes. Carousel damage model is an absolute joke.
Yeah the selective implementation of internal modules like the basket is an absolute joke but to be fair that also doesnt just affect russian tanks positively everyone besides GER and US profits from that.
True but that is also their only real strenght
Hopefully that thing gets moved to its proper BR once Anton can buy himself a Yacht from the sales

I’d argue to say that NATO or non-eastern designs tend to be more vulnerable when comes to fuel tank explosion, obviously for both sides fuel tanks will function as additional protection specially against chemical projectiles (e.g. any caliber HEAT, HE projectiles) and lower caliber kinetic-energy projectiles (e.g. 60mm APDS-FS projectiles), it’s funny that at some vehicles these fuel tanks works too well, I have moments where in a AMX-30 I was able to sustain and survive just because of a fuel tank.

Just like any other similar vehicle at its respective battle rating: no. It’s not more too survivable than its direct counterparts, personally I had more fun in vehicles like AMX-30 Super where the versatility and firepower works around the lack of armor than the super survivable T-72A.

Turret basket as the way is represented in-game is a direct counterpart to the autoloader, if you want more components in the turret other than the autoloader and the horizontal turret drive mechanism you’re also asking for equal counterpart for NATO vehicles, which personally I wouldn’t want to worsen the experience because someone with little experience in eastern designs is saying something merely on presumptions.
If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles
It may look like a joke but speaking things without knowing truth will lead people in false beliefs, I’m not stating that soviet vehicles are too weak or people are just dumb to not spare some time to learn about the vehicles they face (which I’ll put my bets on the latter).
-
T-series of main battle tanks do have smaller weakspots when compared to NATO main battle tanks, their size ratio is comparable if not similar, obviously will be there exceptions but when speaking about the main characters like M1 Abrams and Leopard 2A4, I see as fair game.

If you spare your time to watch a replay where a BMPT-72 gets a Nuke drop merely because of team imcopetence and poor knowledge on the vehicle they’re facing explains why I quoted Sun Tzu early, people will ignore the facts and credit a single vehicle of being overpowered, which this will lead to a battle rating change regardless if the vehicle is overpowered or the players itself can’t deal with it, at some point the same team had advantage on the map but the mere poor knowledge on a T-90M with autocannons, which share the same weakspots to the original platform lead to a defeat, it wasn’t two or more vehicles, one single BMPT-72 took advantage of this aspect, instead of looking at themselves people are pointing fingers at someone else.
Regarding point 5. No, the BMPT is absolutely busted.
I am an experienced player and know t series weak spots. I had one eat 5 m829a1 at close range in all the normal weak spots before it finally decided to die.
They modelled it in a way that causes serious issues with volumetric. Or have hidden armor components like data miners found on other vehicles this year.
Either way, it sometimes pops - but more often than not eats rounds it shouldnt. It also has very inconsistent results when hit in the turret ammo feed, sometimes receiving no damage at all. This is earily reminiscent of when they first put the 2s38 in and didnt have a damage model for several key components.

It’s been a reoccurring theme with auto cannon tanks being horridly under BRed and with busted damage models when they are added, the PUMA was able to fire with a destroyed gun for quiet awhile after it was released
