hey oddbawz i was wondering if you were aware about the modification research bug in air RB that has been around for 2+years and goes something like this. join a game and leave before the match ends. You then start another match, which ends BEFORE match 1 ends, and you successfully research the module "new enginge". You can then select a new module to research. Now however, match 1 STILL contributes ONLY to the already researched module "new engine", effectively giving you 0 XP, as the progress is NOT transferred to the newly selected module.
12th time asking you to play 8.7 Sweden, the gist of it is that you get constant downtiers to 7.7, you face German teammates more often than not, and you will see a lot of king tigers. Also include the Saab 105 g. It’s stupidly op with a full bomb load. T55M, strv103c, strv104, ikv-91-105, veak40, and rush with the itpsv90. IT IS STUPID FUN.🤩
It's an absolute shitfest, so I don't blame him. I've got some 11.7 tanks, but haven't touched anything above 8.7 for more than a year now. It's just not enjoyable at all

Yeah, makes you wonder why, instead of composite armour, they didn't use fuel tanks all around. The tank would be indestructible. Every shot would just disappear as if swallowed by a black hole.
The tank that actually brought top tier to its knees is the Str 122+ and Leopard2A7. Seriously it is crazy how strong Germany and Sweden are now, a team with Germany and Sweden on the same side is has almost 90% chance to win, even more so if the other side has US.
Dude yes. The fact that side shots sometimes only kill 1 crew member or even sometimes ZERO damage is unplayable. STRV and 2A7V take anywhere from 2-5 shots to fully kill with pixel sized 1 shot kill shot areas from the front. Spall liners NEED to be removed from all or added to all 11.7 tanks to slow down the gameplay or balance it out. It's ridiculous.
Seems like most US teams have genuinely decent players on them at super top tier if it’s not premiums. Just the Abram’s falls way behind on protection compared to the Leo’s/strv/bvm t90m. You cannot take a hit in Abram’s like you can in those tanks.
@@Honoer agreed. It's almost like they need to remove spall liners for all tanks to balance it out. That, or add spall liners in for all top tier tanks to slow the gameplay down. They clearly don't care about accuracy of tanks cause the Chinese tree and French tree are sooo underpowered for what they should be.
And yet, german mains will endlessly cry about the so called "russian bias" and "chinese bias" while driving the best damn tank in the whole game. I would challenge them to try the Soviet tanks a bit and see them swear about the horrible gun depression, the slow reload and the turtle level reverse speed that we have to deal with during the whole tree. In addition, everything after the T-34 has slow turrets and slow up and down gun movement. Russian bias has just been a meme or a coping mechanism for quite a while now.
The 2 things that hurt the T-90M are its reverse speed but also it’s reload, especially with the Abrams getting a reload buff the T-90 M has quite a poor reload overall
True. If it were a T-80 variant it wouldn't be that bad, but because it's a slightly better T-72B3M it keeps the 22 round autoloader and 7-ish second reload instead of the 6-ish on T-80 tanks.

I LOVE how Odd has been putting little tidbits of information for new players in his videos recently. Im not new anymore but he talks about stuff that I wish I knew when I first started the game!
Dearest Mr Oddbawz, i would appreciate if you would ever so kindly play the low tier t-80 that sits at 2.3, it has has a sloped 35mm front plate that bounces a lot of shells, it has the russian 45mm cannon and has the ability to scout, it unfortunately very bouncey when it comes to suspension and coming to full stops however i believe the previous statements negate that. Have fun suffering, Yours The Fatman
That thing has a slightly faster reverse speed then the panther a which is 49 years older then the t90 wow technology in the proletariat has progressed so much
Would you revisit the Strv 122 (specifically the B+)? Better yet I would recommend playing the CV90120 its a personal fav of mine unlike other top tier tanks it requires skill. Edit: Another suggestion would also be either the Type 90 or TKX (p), 11.0 Japan is just constant downtiers in the current meta.
Gaijin thinks that the wait time would be too long. I would happily wait longer for a match if this was the case. Even .7 each way would be better. Most changes impact a tank moving up, but rarely does a vehicle get moved back down. In 3 years the T20 and Jumbo will be 8.3.
@@justinthomas85 There will be top build 10.0 Jumbo M4A3E2, T20, HM-1, M1A1 AIM, M1A1 HC, M1, M1 KVT All will have a 10.0 because of "winning percentage".))
Given how much pushing the other teams spawn over capturing points seems to be a Meta in War Thunder - I am surprised they just don't implement a capture the flag/enemy base mode. . .
"You can of course shoot lower down taking out the ammo" He saysa as I repetadly hit T-tanks in the ammo 3-5 times before it explodes xD . I do really think that from like 10.0 and up the game needs bigger maps designed for the speed/firepower of top tier.
Its crazy how people dickride how a bradley blinded a t90 as if a bmp wouldnt also do the same to an abrams, optics are a weak point in any tank, idrk why people are so suprised thats a weakspot on a t90
It’s the propaganda, in these last years we have seen more anti eastern (russian,chinese,arab…) than any time in history, some could argue the current propaganda in western countries is worse than the WW2 n@zi propaganda and they wouldn’t be wrong
yeah, I was gonna say this. Apparently, it's news to people that tanks aren't invincible. Literally anything can be destroyed by almost anything else with a lucky shot or just the right circumstances. and don't get me wrong, I don't think the T90 is a great tank. But tactics and logistics are almost always the deciding thing on what makes a tank survive or not. Same as WT applies in real life: The best armor is just not getting hit in the first place.
@@gaiofattos2 The point isn't that the BMP-2 is even really objectively better than a Bradley. It's that there's really no reason it couldn't - in theory -, do the same to an Abrams. And I say in theory, because on paper, there's really no reason a Bradley should've been able to destroy a T90, either. And the same thing has happened with a lot of vehicles, albeit rarely. Essentially, it's like saying Batman can beat anyone with prep time. In theory, sure. But in practise, pretty much any tank can be destroyed just given bad enough circumstances, or the right things being in the right place at the right time. Hence logistics and tactics.
@@foxxowoxxowillow7855 The thing is, bmp-2 vs Abrams is a whole different thing. Even if 2 bmp catch the Abrams like the Bradles did to he the t-90m. The Abrams can always hit reverse gear and get out of the ambush. While i know that "many thing" can beat a Tank, its important to see how pathetic was the whole bradley vs t-90m thing was, they didn't have tow missiles or even apds to fire at the T-90m and they manage to get a mission kill on it.
meanwhile people who have AMD graphics card cant even play the game anymore theres load of reports of it saying outdated drivers while they are the newest so it sets Everything on ultra low and you cant change it
As A abrams owner along with russian german tech tree idc anymore on this game but getting some kills and listening to music with my tanks driving plus i have more fun on custom battles such as desert storm maps or ww2 battles it gives me a break from realistic battles all the time no joy as much.
the MG turret can be manned from the inside of the tank, thats why they have that thing on the outside, its for the auto loading, and actuators for traverse
Wouldn't mind if at some point spall liners were removed, I'm very used to them now and don't have a problem with but at the same time it wasn't a necessary feature, especially since many MBTs still don't have theirs.
for those of use that play on PS4 & 5 and Xbox. i would like to see a screen overlay of just the camera watching you work the keyboard and Mouse. in your last video you said you were working 3 mouse buttons. I would like to see your Octopus arms and fingers fly. THANKS BAWZ
@@Shiraumereit really is fast, but just like your daily car you use everyday, maxing out your top speed really isn’t a thing you should do. It screws with the transmission over time, making it weaker and weaker. Kinda like how tank barrels need to be replaced over short periods of time when being constantly fired
That Machine Gun looks like that because it has a mechanically operated servo. Which allows the commander to shoot soft targets himself while being fully protected inside the tank. Nobody has the budget to put cosmetics on a tank.
I love the t90m with the double spall liner. the first shot is stopped by an era and the second shot is stopped by a spall liner. a third shot maybe make the magazine to explode :D
this Thing is the definition of a one way death machine ether it kills or get killed 0 chance of escape and low defense when it comes to the real spots
I mean Sweden's pretty fun I find from like 6.0 up. Pretty fun line ups. I like my 10.0 line up, the 9040s are stupid fun and the 9040 BILL has a deceptively good top/down ATGM. Like way better the TOW2B on American and german
@@gamesordames9480 Sweden is killing it at top tier right now I’m finishing the American tech tree and the Sweden Germany combo is scarier than facing Germany plus Russia at this point
Controversial take, but spall liners were a rly bad idea lol Only added to some of the end of the line tanks, some of which did not need them at all (cough cough leo 2a5/6 and their variants cough) and they only make the game more frustrating to play.
Nah the tanks that didnt need it were the Russian tanks. They already had an artificial spall liner, now they are even worse to fight against. Leopards were easy enough to kill, spall was never really an issue
The problem isnt that they exist its that it just adds another layer of RNG to gaijins broken damage models when the games become so overloaded with issues from volumetric armour, bugs, ghost shells and sneaky armour modifiers that reduce spalling anyway
Don't feel bad about your wiff shots BawZ. We all make them ;) I somehow managed to send a round over a stationary tank at less the 200m away. I was also parked. Thank god I was not recording or streaming that.
Hey oddbawz got a video idea for you as a former French main and current Israeli maine. Id like to see you give both countries some love. for the French take out the AMX 40 at 9.7 I had to say this is my absolute favorite tank in the game 120 mm gun 20 mm coax that has saved my life multiple times, it’s fast, the armor isn’t all there but for its br that it’s at I don’t think armor really matters that much anyway I’ve gotten five nukes while playing this game. Two of those nukes have been with this tank. I hope you have fun with it. For the Israelis takeout either the gal Batash or the merkava mark 2B both of these things are really good and I honestly could not decide between the two these two tanks are tied for my second favorite in the game. For the Israeli tanks, all I can say is that they’re quite similar to British vehicles in the sense that they might not be the fastest or the most well armored, but they do pack a serious punch.
The T-90M is using a prettied up T-72 hull, Russia was trying to replace theT-72 but it was still cheaper to use the hull so they just made a new turret and called it the T-90
Its a T-72B Hull that while not near as good was meant to be close to the T-80 hull who was URSS equal to the M1 abrams, T-90M might got even better hull armor and reactive than T-90A.
It's hilarious how all the well-protected soviet/russian vehicles are quickly turning out to not be as protected as stated, given the influx of data coming in from the current conflict. I don't imagine T-90 is different, though it's incredible how blatantly powerful it is in contrast to other nation top tiers.
Disabling the turret ring and optics isn’t something special, lone tanks without a convoy/support vehicle and infantry support are easy targets to pick on
@@grikkajuniorI am pretty sure 2 Bradleys cost more than a single T-90m and no it isn’t impressive cause 25mm apds is no joke and again lone tanks are always easy to pick on because you can overwhelm the crew easily, that video you watched is exactly the reason why support vehicles like the bmpt-72 were invented
Honestly, I may be alone on this but I think that the issue with Russian mbs’s is how Russia actually uses them in combat scenarios and the corruption and insufficient training inside their military that alter their combat effectiveness not the general design of their vehicles.
@@shadowconquer-yv5yd Whoops, sorry, did you forget the part where the Russians ran away and the tank was then finished off by an FPV? That tank has joined the Soviet vehicle junkyard that has become Ukraine, where Russia comes to "decommission" their old stuff.
@MichaelDavis-mk4me the turret traverse was jammed but the tank was still operable and could've returned. The comment before is correct, once you get shot in a tank you're essentially panicking for your life with the added benefit of you being blinded. An Abrams would be the same in this position.
@obvioustroll.yetyoustillgo1634 Unlike in War Thunder, a mission kill is a kill. Being disabled is basically being dead : you you become a poor excuse for a bunker, just waiting for artillery and drones to finish the job. It's the same for Leopard 2's running over mines, the tank survives, which is nice for the crew that can escape, but that tank is eating a shell in the next minutes, it's effectively dead.
One of the drawbacks to Top Tier is that there are no (or very few, not enough) large maps like 5+ km size maps. The main issue is that these tanks, IRL, are meant to be used at longer ranges (like 2-3 kms) for delivering shots and better survivability. The squares need to be like 0.75 - 1 km each, and yes while that will make for longer times to get to positions, it would make it more realistic in terms of how tanks are really to be used in modern warfare and less short-range or urban warefare (although there still needs to be this in rotation). Additionally, the optics need to be more realistic, where some of these tanks and shots in general, wouldn't be such "lasers". How often would breaches and guns take damage or be taken out IRL? Too often tanks seem to have way to strong of an ability to locate an enemy and fire a round into small areas like a driver port, when in reality it would rarely happen - or at least not that frequently. Now I know the goal of the game is to drive money and make gameplay "balanced" but more often than not, it feels like the outcome is decided before the game even starts. How oftern is the experience where you play one nation or another, and shoot against someone with little to no effect in one game? Then use the same vehichle in another game and completely roll over similar or same tanks?
meh, he managed to break the sensors and blind him, then a drone came and finished the job. Also Abrahams Leos and Merkavas are being destroyed by old RPG-7s
@@jp18449 I'm not speaking about infantry carried atgms, but about IF, the guy above started that. What I said was about the Bradley mission killing a T-90M.
Disabling a lone tank is extremely easy, 2 bmp’s could easily f’up any western mbt aswell because all tanks have the same weakspot, the turret ring and optics. That is the reason why support vehicles like the bmpt-72 exist, to prevent this from happening
@@BreadPittAAAAHHHH I know that the point is that hey can disable a Abrams, but IRL western tanks would just reverse from that situation and retreat to friend cover.
@ii_dynasty that’s exactly what destroying a tank is real life combat isn’t like warthunder do once you can’t see anything that means your tank is effectively destroyed especially since they are in an active war zone
Most of the complaints about the T90m having spall liners and how it was going to destroy top tier was from when they first announced it and it was going to be the only tank in the game with them, they only added them to all the nato tanks after everyone complained.
@@Rickmanou81293Yes because they are simply wrong, the tank was destroyed right after it got abandoned and well since the crew left the hatches open as they were leaving the enemy forces were able to chunk a grenade in there and destroy it, if there was a friendly convoy nearby that T-90m could have been evacuated right after the fight
It isn’t, all tanks are useful in combat as both a tool and a moral weapon. The T90M is just more vulnerable to being destroyed and worse at protecting its crew, so it gives less room for error. If you put a T90M in the hands of a competent crew and unit commander the T90M will do well, but Russia doesn’t have much of those
@@avex3903 they are already there, and considering how western tanks have down quite well so far at protecting their crews, they will also likely do decently well in the fighting. They have also shown themselves to be really good irl, this isn’t the first time they been in combat. After the T72’s not good combat record, the M1 abrams has seen the most combat and overall has done extremely well
Avoid FPV’s and being alone would be more realistic since it litteraly took two bradleys just to take out the optics and turret ring forcing the crew out of the tank since they couldn’t perform operations, if the tank wasn’t alone tho it would have been a different story
I love how while looking around, the roof machine gun is like „Sky? No. Sky? No. Maybe Sky? Ah no.“ the whole time lol Anyway, It’s day 318 of writing comments for the algorithm :)
Hello Odd! I love your content, you are one of the reasons I started to play WT in 2023 december, soo far I have 87 hours in the game. May I ask you, or someone can explain me how the tickets works? Because okay, both teams start with 18000 tickets and lose tickets if points are captured by enemy, or your teammates are dying, but... how much we lose if for example the map is 3 capture points and all points are the enemies? What if they capture 1 point or 2? how does this work? If I cap a point, do the enemy instantly lose some tickets? every minute you lose a amount of points? (tickets/minute lost would be the right formula?) and how much tickets you lose for a light tank, or a heavy? the same? I think if you see this, this could be even a great youtube video, because I haven't found any good explanations on this topic, and for example me, who would try to play the game for winning, I would be interested in some situations, what would be the best for me to do. Love your stuff, used your code at the store, hope it helps. Might get into your Merch too, because it looks sick! I love youtuber merches :)
The T-90m look like a nice tank just want i see it cost 400k rp to get and at top tier i earn about 2-6k per game to many leavers the pain kicks in and my hope die. but at top tier i do love hearing jets over head and heils sounds

Chaffee is already an AA in my hands, and the idea of a proxy fuse to go with it…I may need new pants.

I LOVE how Odd has been putting little tidbits of information for new players in his videos recently. Im not new anymore but he talks about stuff that I wish I knew when I first started the game!
Dearest Mr Oddbawz,
i would appreciate if you would ever so kindly play the low tier t-80 that sits at 2.3, it has has a sloped 35mm front plate that bounces a lot of shells, it has the russian 45mm cannon and has the ability to scout, it unfortunately very bouncey when it comes to suspension and coming to full stops however i believe the previous statements negate that.
Have fun suffering, Yours
The Fatman
It also has an agonizingly slow turret traverse
I second this that tank is a meme
That thing has a slightly faster reverse speed then the panther a which is 49 years older then the t90 wow technology in the proletariat has progressed so much
Would you revisit the Strv 122 (specifically the B+)? Better yet I would recommend playing the CV90120 its a personal fav of mine unlike other top tier tanks it requires skill.
Edit: Another suggestion would also be either the Type 90 or TKX (p), 11.0 Japan is just constant downtiers in the current meta.
I'm currently spading Japan's 11.0 and I love the 4sec reload, great mobility and constantly being top tier against all premium tank players.
@20:00 Odd shows his roots because I cannae understand the man.
Also, fun fact, DM63 can go straight through a T-90s UFP in real life.

How do you feel about the ranking system? I would prefer it to be 0.5 up or down rather than 1.
Gaijin thinks that the wait time would be too long. I would happily wait longer for a match if this was the case. Even .7 each way would be better. Most changes impact a tank moving up, but rarely does a vehicle get moved back down. In 3 years the T20 and Jumbo will be 8.3.

You should take the Bradley into top tier and see how it does, considering recent events :P
Appreciate this massive content push brother.
Given how much pushing the other teams spawn over capturing points seems to be a Meta in War Thunder - I am surprised they just don't implement a capture the flag/enemy base mode. . .
That's called battle
Challenger Video anytime soon? I would love to see your take on the stop start steering and the tinfoil they call armour
Can you please play the cv90120, it's one of the best light tanks in the game
"You can of course shoot lower down taking out the ammo" He saysa as I repetadly hit T-tanks in the ammo 3-5 times before it explodes xD . I do really think that from like 10.0 and up the game needs bigger maps designed for the speed/firepower of top tier.
Yes I just made a similar (but much longer) comment... Didn't see yours until now.
Its crazy how people dickride how a bradley blinded a t90 as if a bmp wouldnt also do the same to an abrams, optics are a weak point in any tank, idrk why people are so suprised thats a weakspot on a t90
It’s the propaganda, in these last years we have seen more anti eastern (russian,chinese,arab…) than any time in history, some could argue the current propaganda in western countries is worse than the WW2 n@zi propaganda and they wouldn’t be wrong
yeah, I was gonna say this. Apparently, it's news to people that tanks aren't invincible. Literally anything can be destroyed by almost anything else with a lucky shot or just the right circumstances.
and don't get me wrong, I don't think the T90 is a great tank. But tactics and logistics are almost always the deciding thing on what makes a tank survive or not. Same as WT applies in real life: The best armor is just not getting hit in the first place.
A BMP-2 being accurate while firing on the move ?
@@gaiofattos2 The point isn't that the BMP-2 is even really objectively better than a Bradley.
It's that there's really no reason it couldn't - in theory -, do the same to an Abrams. And I say in theory, because on paper, there's really no reason a Bradley should've been able to destroy a T90, either. And the same thing has happened with a lot of vehicles, albeit rarely.
Essentially, it's like saying Batman can beat anyone with prep time. In theory, sure. But in practise, pretty much any tank can be destroyed just given bad enough circumstances, or the right things being in the right place at the right time. Hence logistics and tactics.
@@foxxowoxxowillow7855 The thing is, bmp-2 vs Abrams is a whole different thing.
Even if 2 bmp catch the Abrams like the Bradles did to he the t-90m. The Abrams can always hit reverse gear and get out of the ambush.
While i know that "many thing" can beat a Tank, its important to see how pathetic was the whole bradley vs t-90m thing was, they didn't have tow missiles or even apds to fire at the T-90m and they manage to get a mission kill on it.

Wouldn't mind if at some point spall liners were removed, I'm very used to them now and don't have a problem with but at the same time it wasn't a necessary feature, especially since many MBTs still don't have theirs.

Friendly reminder that the Abrams has had spall liner since the M60s
Yet the Abrams doesn’t have one lmao.
Wow, they made the T-90M really fast in War Thunder. In reality, it's hard-pressed to exceed 30 MPH on roads.
Irl the T-90M is extremely fast and maneuvrable as in game, maybe not exact like it, but is pretty comparable to Abrams execpt for the reverse speed
@@Necronimus616lol. lmao even.
Sure it can’t. You are just pulling shit out your ass.
@@Necronimus616 it really isn't that fast lmao.
@@Shiraumereit really is fast, but just like your daily car you use everyday, maxing out your top speed really isn’t a thing you should do. It screws with the transmission over time, making it weaker and weaker. Kinda like how tank barrels need to be replaced over short periods of time when being constantly fired
That Machine Gun looks like that because it has a mechanically operated servo. Which allows the commander to shoot soft targets himself while being fully protected inside the tank. Nobody has the budget to put cosmetics on a tank.
Russian t90 in wt: "i am death incarnate!"
T90 irl: "please mr Bradley stop shooting me im scared"
I love the t90m with the double spall liner. the first shot is stopped by an era and the second shot is stopped by a spall liner. a third shot maybe make the magazine to explode :D

@18:19 Did they really add a "gong" hit sound effect? lol
Controversial take, but spall liners were a rly bad idea lol
Only added to some of the end of the line tanks, some of which did not need them at all (cough cough leo 2a5/6 and their variants cough) and they only make the game more frustrating to play.
based take almost everyone i know including myself agrees 100% on
I feel like added survivability makes top tier less point and click, which is something everyone always seems to complain about.
Nah the tanks that didnt need it were the Russian tanks. They already had an artificial spall liner, now they are even worse to fight against. Leopards were easy enough to kill, spall was never really an issue
The problem isnt that they exist its that it just adds another layer of RNG to gaijins broken damage models when the games become so overloaded with issues from volumetric armour, bugs, ghost shells and sneaky armour modifiers that reduce spalling anyway
well i can tell you dont play top tier with that statement since none of it is true and its the first time ive read that lmao@@cat_clan_leader

Id like to see you give both countries some love. for the French take out the AMX 40 at 9.7 I had to say this is my absolute favorite tank in the game 120 mm gun 20 mm coax that has saved my life multiple times, it’s fast, the armor isn’t all there but for its br that it’s at I don’t think armor really matters that much anyway I’ve gotten five nukes while playing this game.

takeout either the gal Batash or the merkava mark 2B both of these things are really good and I honestly could not decide between the two these two tanks are tied for my second favorite in the game. For the Israeli tanks, all I can say is that they’re quite similar to British vehicles in the sense that they might not be the fastest or the most well armored, but they do pack a serious punch.

The T-90M is using a prettied up T-72 hull, Russia was trying to replace theT-72 but it was still cheaper to use the hull so they just made a new turret and called it the T-90
Its a T-72B Hull that while not near as good was meant to be close to the T-80 hull who was URSS equal to the M1 abrams, T-90M might got even better hull armor and reactive than T-90A.
Not Russia, the Soviet Union.
It's hilarious how all the well-protected soviet/russian vehicles are quickly turning out to not be as protected as stated, given the influx of data coming in from the current conflict. I don't imagine T-90 is different, though it's incredible how blatantly powerful it is in contrast to other nation top tiers.
wonder how they will remodel the T90M after that video of a bradley peppering one with a 25mm chain gun.
according to them that isn't real and the t90 wasn't broken at all but simply showing off its turret rotation speed komrade :)))) No nerfs required.
They don’t need remodeling, the IFV just knocked out the optics and turret ring, any f’ing vehicle can do that
"Playing like an absolute idiot" Sounds alot like me 😂

@@shadowconquer-yv5yd Whoops, sorry, did you forget the part where the Russians ran away and the tank was then finished off by an FPV? That tank has joined the Soviet vehicle junkyard that has become Ukraine, where Russia comes to "decommission" their old stuff.
@MichaelDavis-mk4me the turret traverse was jammed but the tank was still operable and could've returned. The comment before is correct, once you get shot in a tank you're essentially panicking for your life with the added benefit of you being blinded. An Abrams would be the same in this position.
@obvioustroll.yetyoustillgo1634 Unlike in War Thunder, a mission kill is a kill. Being disabled is basically being dead : you you become a poor excuse for a bunker, just waiting for artillery and drones to finish the job. It's the same for Leopard 2's running over mines, the tank survives, which is nice for the crew that can escape, but that tank is eating a shell in the next minutes, it's effectively dead.
pretty much any tank would be in that situation, but i can say the Russians still need to fix the Poor Reverse of the T-90M and other tanks@@ED-ww6vz
One of the drawbacks to Top Tier is that there are no (or very few, not enough) large maps like 5+ km size maps. The main issue is that these tanks, IRL, are meant to be used at longer ranges (like 2-3 kms) for delivering shots and better survivability. The squares need to be like 0.75 - 1 km each, and yes while that will make for longer times to get to positions, it would make it more realistic in terms of how tanks are really to be used in modern warfare and less short-range or urban warefare (although there still needs to be this in rotation).
Additionally, the optics need to be more realistic, where some of these tanks and shots in general, wouldn't be such "lasers". How often would breaches and guns take damage or be taken out IRL? Too often tanks seem to have way to strong of an ability to locate an enemy and fire a round into small areas like a driver port, when in reality it would rarely happen - or at least not that frequently.
Now I know the goal of the game is to drive money and make gameplay "balanced" but more often than not, it feels like the outcome is decided before the game even starts. How oftern is the experience where you play one nation or another, and shoot against someone with little to no effect in one game? Then use the same vehichle in another game and completely roll over similar or same tanks?
Big maps are boring

@NathanielNerquaye-Tetteh-uz2nf Yes, but in most of these comments sense they think it was outright killed instead of just disabled.
Most of the complaints about the T90m having spall liners and how it was going to destroy top tier was from when they first announced it and it was going to be the only tank in the game with them, they only added them to all the nato tanks after everyone complained.

Nice vid, i was wating for it not gonna lie
irl, the T-90M is basically useless, but this is War Thunder.
Bro what?
It isn’t, all tanks are useful in combat as both a tool and a moral weapon. The T90M is just more vulnerable to being destroyed and worse at protecting its crew, so it gives less room for error. If you put a T90M in the hands of a competent crew and unit commander the T90M will do well, but Russia doesn’t have much of those

Hello Odd! I love your content, you are one of the reasons I started to play WT in 2023 december, soo far I have 87 hours in the game. May I ask you, or someone can explain me how the tickets works? Because okay, both teams start with 18000 tickets and lose tickets if points are captured by enemy, or your teammates are dying, but... how much we lose if for example the map is 3 capture points and all points are the enemies? What if they capture 1 point or 2? how does this work? If I cap a point, do the enemy instantly lose some tickets? every minute you lose a amount of points? (tickets/minute lost would be the right formula?) and how much tickets you lose for a light tank, or a heavy? the same? I think if you see this, this could be even a great youtube video, because I haven't found any good explanations on this topic, and for example me, who would try to play the game for winning, I would be interested in some situations, what would be the best for me to do. Love your stuff, used your code at the store, hope it helps. Might get into your Merch too, because it looks sick! I love youtuber merches :)
