Why a T90A is at 11.0 with 3BM60 a 12.7 shell

At top tier? They pretty much are.
M1: 38
2A4: 31
CR1: 37
Ariete P: 46
MSC: 38
The only tank with almost as bad reverse is 11.0 ZTZ99s and 10.3 ZTZ96s, which have 5 and 6 km/h respectively. Not as bad as 4, but still horrendous.

-3 depression brings you back to T-34s and IS tanks. Genuinely abysmal.

Not that I really actively play anymore but yh

It is, but 3BM60 is prefered.

iirc 3BM59 is just 3BM60 but using Depleted Uranium instead of Tungsten.

3BM59 has ever so slightly more pen. Like 10 extra mm or so.

Let’s not forget that the USSR is constantly fighting NATO tanks that have no armor, and which the 3BM60 can penetrate almost through their entire silhouette.

impressive ngl

Yup but i would call 120S piss poor mobility, 13.3 Hp/t compared to 21.5 for T90A.
Sabra is a little better at 16.5.

120S good turret armour (long neck though) and the best shell, which for me it could make do with just the M829. Sabra has crap armour all round, it just has fire power.

It has 40-50mm more irl, and is smaller so won’t impose any restrictions on T-80 autoloaders (i think anyway)

Sure, GBR, FRA, CHN use a similar round at those BR & top tier. SWE is barely above it with Slpprj 95.
Never understood why M1A1& stock A2 recieved A2 variant while LEO2A4M is stuck with KE-W.

T90 still has favourable BR, in uptier it meets powerfull rounds, but it equally or more out performs in a full down tier by 172 mm (DM23) or 109mm (L26).

as i said earlier the T90A could move down if 3BM42 was its top round, like the Bhisma.
