What are these Russian Tanks? maybe balancing?

Englisch
It’s honestly ridiculous how much damage some Russian tanks can withstand. There are situations where you should be able to penetrate their armor without any problem, yet somehow nothing happens. I’m currently playing at BR 10.3, and it’s incredibly frustrating how often I shoot at Russian tanks only to fail to penetrate or simply bounce off. No matter where I aim, I often deal little to no damage and can’t destroy them.

At the same time, a Russian tank seems capable of destroying me from almost any angle. Sometimes all it takes is a very slight hit to my turret, and my entire tank instantly explodes. It feels extremely unbalanced.

Either the developers should finally nerf Russian tanks and compensate by buffing the other nations that have been repeatedly nerfed over time, or they should remove the nation entirely if they can’t implement it in a realistic way. At times, it feels as if Russian vehicles are intentionally portrayed as superior because of the idea that Russia’s tanks are supposed to be the best.

Care sharing video examples of these instances? Soviet vehicles, mainly main battle tanks are supposed to withstand on their armor, overall the weakspots are very straight forward in every angle (front, side and rear).

Some issues of diagonal shots bouncing on the ERA and doing nothing.





Heres like 12 minutes of NATO tanks doing the same :)
Who flagged this???

Oh hey, stuff that happens to all MBTs.
Missing, overlapping plates, etc.

Diagonal shots never or rarely fail me against other nations tanks.

But its common against top tier urss mbts and bmpt. The conclusion I always end up with its the side ERA, because for example this does not happens against T-72A or chinese tanks (which are similar to russian).

They’ve beefed up the armor on the top-tier Soviet MBTs with the EPA Relic. Now damage will be even more random.

Different side armor thicknesses & different placement of “horizontal” armor on the outside that changes from tank to tank at minimum.

CE is HEATFS.
“Armor modifier” doesn’t impact Relikt’s protection other than fixing the underperforming side ERA.
It seems to impact angles more than anything else, but doesn’t impact the front mounted ERA.

I love the 1000 battles collection.

It’s like ERA there for reasons

Their ERA got buffed again btw

No Russian bias I promise

what a surprise… and guess what the forum trolls are active as well defending it… funny how hstvl won’t be able to pen it but a 2s38 will pen all tanks from the side with no problem… funny how other nations need to use pinpoint accuracy to get a kill while russians WREEEEEEE PRESS W COMRADE AND DESTROY

This game really goes down HARD recently it is not even funny and as we know “pride comes before a fall” mark those words someone else will create a similar game this will end badly… review revolution v2 might even come because a lot of people except from russian fanboys are more and more frustrated…

Kinda miserable how people are still expecting bvvd to give some good stuff to NATOs

Even if one day they give NATO an APFSDS that has 20000mm of pen and can pen through the earth, it would still not be able to pen their Russian MBTs

Thats fuel tank eating spall I believe, not era.

Fuel tanks eat spall regardless of nation
