THE SPALL LINER NIGHTMARE IS HERE - T-90M in War Thunder

If you're looking to get some GE or a Premium, please use a creators link to support then and get a free decal. Here's mine: store.gaijin.net/catalog.php?...
The T-90M in War Thunder is the latest Top Tier offering giving insane protection from both the front and sides. The reason for the side protection is Spall Liners. These panels vastly reduce the amount of shrapnel generated once a round penetrates which drastically increases the chances of surviving a hit.
The issue with the Spall Liner is it sometimes rewards a player who should have been punished for exposing their side armor. In most cases where a top tier MBT survives a side shot they can turn their turret and shoot back which can be extremely frustrating for the flanking vehicle.
Since the latest patch, Spall Liners have been reworked so that they only offer protection after the first shot.
The T-90M is a good tank but it's certainly not as potent as the T-80BVM. To me, it feels like a good filler tank for 11.7 but it really doesn't offer anything that the T-80 chassis doesn't do better. If it had a reverse gear, that would certainly be different! :)

Day 14 of asking to play a Tiger 1 in top tier till 5 kills

[@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933]

The new event format kicks off with the Object 292, a modified T-80 with a new 152.4mm smoothbore gun.

[@tokolima21]

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.

[@user-qb1iq4tq8h]

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.

[@themilkman8554]

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.

[@jammy9033]

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.

[@themilkman8554]

@@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.

[@philipped.r.6385]

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.

[@logannicholson1850]

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

[@ADudOverTheFence1]

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.

[@5gurus-bimiseveriz]

Honestly the reload aint even that bad, tho that reverse speed gives me brain damage

[@ADudOverTheFence1]

@@5gurus-bimiseveriz those .6 seconds in-between the T-80 and the T-90 reload is the difference on being able to out reload a Leo 2 and getting killed by it.

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

[@foxxowoxxowillow7855]

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]

A BMP-2 being accurate while firing on the move ?

[@foxxowoxxowillow7855]

@@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.

[@gaiofattos2]

​@@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.

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.

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?

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

[@jalenwilliams8622]

@@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

I'm planning to stop grinding each tree at like 8.3 - 9.0, especially as a new player I don't want to even think about playing top tier

[@andybraid4263]

Amazing how T90 in game has spall liners and good armour on paper yet the actual tank has in-effective armour due to corruption.

[@TheJessejames9900]

Hey oddbawz have you noticed how the exp gain as of last couple weeks has been extremely low..my usual low gain was around 8 to 10 now on a good game with 8 kills an a cap or two plus winning with a booster i made 7 thousand exp

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.

Ok wanna know something if gajin is addin the T90M and more modern tanks therre a tank scarier than the T90M And that is the T90MS that has the sorat defense system from the T90A and the armor of the T90M it would be 10x more OP than the T90M

[@slvnote6994]

Am i crazy but the drivers port is not the easiest shot to make , the easiest to make is the LG since its way bigger but often youll only hit the driver

[@KBDFProductions]

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.

[@nixoproto7545]

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

[@gaiofattos2]

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.

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.

Wasn't there an order from Stalin that basically said any retreat was to be treated as treason and desertion? If that was signed into law and nobody bothered to repeal it after the fall of the Soviet Union, then the terrible reverse speed might simply be tank manufacturers complying with the law.

[@5gurus-bimiseveriz]

Nah it’s doctrine, soviet doctrine was flooding the battlefield with tanks and cheap price, so to make the tanks fast and the gearbox cheap they sacrificed the reverse gears
