It’s better than the T-90M in targeting, but has less armor against kinetic rounds, and because of the reverse speed which is the MAIN flaw of the 90M tank in War Thunder it will not outdo the 80BVM in any way.
It doesn’t even get UBH.
The T-90M is the worst top tier tank in the game, and I don’t think the T-90M Arena-M will be any better.
We should’ve got the T-90M2 (Ryvok 1) with around 15km/h reverse speed if I can recall, which is literally the T-90M Arena-M model with transmission upgrades (and a few other irrelevant things).
Would’ve made the tank playable in ground battles but we’re stuck with debatably junk for another 4 years.
It’s the fact everybody is getting Abrams tanks which is making them more competitive in top tier ground forces, whilst Russia lowkey stuck with junky tanks that don’t suit War Thunder’s pvp gameplay and maps
I’m only excited to play the 90M Arena in sim battles where it’ll be safer against CAS spam and has better reaction speeds, otherwise it’s the same thing in GRB because it doesn’t have upgraded armor package although it should.
This isn’t the Arena-M but it proves the point of the Arena-M’s side skirts being equipped with UBH (in metal boxes too which looks better)
USA with Sep v3
UK with a good Abrams
JP with TKX and Type 10 which are next gen
SWE with some leopards better than Germany’s lol
CN with Russian tanks but better
I only see Germany and Italy being a little down like Russia. I don’t think France or Israel are because their tanks are very good in general.
The Sepv3 has improved hull armor (or it should do in-game). It gets a better round against ERA, and so does the Sepv2, which means it’ll be a top tier beast because of the amount of T-80UE’s that play (they can be somewhat reliably penned through the upper frontplate now).
The Sepv3 also can now tank Kornets and Khrizantemas to the turret which it couldn’t do before.
TKX and Type 10 have been in the game for over 2 years lol. They’re just very good tanks on about half the maps and are probably the best tanks in a good player’s hands.
Chinese tanks have it better than the T-90M because of faster reload and more mobility whilst having relatively similar armor with just slightly larger weakspots. Armor in War Thunder kinda doesn’t matter if you can kill people faster and get out of bad situations faster.
chinese tanks either have “good” reload (6.7sec vs 7sec) and quite bad mobility or the other way around, all of em can be lol penned by most tanks if you dont shoot the middle of the ufp. (this is excluding the M1A2T)
It’s enough to be good in War Thunder’s pvp tank spam gameplay. It’s literally an FPS shooter where you can one shot other players, but one of the players (the T-90M) has less angles to hit you from and is pretty much immobile in reverse.
Don’t forget NATO mains also crying all the time bro and they like to weaponize these double standards. Look at the new Abrams thread, you can say the same about them.
People are jokers, always demand a stoic standard from you that they fail to follow themselves, and then gets angry when they get mocked lol
