    BVM isn't upgraded from the basic T-80B. T-80BVM are upgraded from the T-80BV that are BV out of the factory, which are made with later-style hull armor(inherited by T-80U). In-game T-80BV kept the basic hull of the early T-80B. So as you can tell by now, true Russian Bias hasn't even happened yet(T-80U hull for T-80B kontakt-1 modification).

    Hello, it seems you are playing a completely different game. I used my 8.3 setup (T-55AM1, T-62 and T-55A) to go through the Russian tree and finaly decided to try some high tier. So I got myself T-80B, used all my precious eagles to get the 3BM42, Kontakt and laser rangedinder and wen to a battle. Well from about 20 battles I managed to ge 5 kills. In most cases I am oneshotted frontaly, or set to fire or get my gun out by the time I can even realize there is an enemy. Last time on European Province, that idiotic map where you can shoot from spawn to spawn I waited, saw a tank, rangefinded, shot aaaand Hit. It then shot back and killed me. M1A1 Abrams it was. So I am going back to 8.3. Or maybe I will try 9.0 - 9.3 (botrh T-64s and the first T-72). But no way I will waste time in anything higher.

    It feels the same as a russian main against panthers and king tigers. Things get way better when you get stabilizers because you can shoot for weakspots without waiting for the gun to stop bouncing while the other guy just has to hit you anywhere. I generally hate brs below 7.7 because of this. Low tier shermans do get a stabiliser so you should be able to hit weakspots easily, just learn them (wt wiki is a good source of info, also you can do armor analysis of any tank even if you dont own it, so just look at tanks you face) if you dont know how i will explain

    Justin, we gotta see the Begleitpanzer with its APHE. In your original video of the Bagel you only used the solid shot! The APHE is so good, it effectively 1-shots anything it comes across! (This is also a good excuse to use the HE-VT shells ;)). I pretty much exclusively use the APHE because of the fact it gets ATGMs that can handle anything the APHE can't. It's honestly just super fun getting a bunch of side shots on MBTs (and killing them in a single shot). I also think the Bagel is a good indicator of where the PT-76-57 will be headed BR-wise. The PT obviously isn't as fast and doesn't have a missile, but I could easily see it going to 7.7 or 8.0 (especially since its APHE has nearly double the Bagel's APHE pen, is fully stabilized, and has a laser rangefinder).

    so true. Some german tanks are so under-BR-ed, like the Leo A1A1 L44, Leo 1A5, TAM 2IP also at low tier, the panzer IV F2/G/H, all the panthers, the leo 1, the M48.
