How Gaijin been ruining the top tier:

It’s been months of the same issues goin on, and it’s getting impossible to ignore it.
Gaijin is basically handing Russian mains a "Win Button" every update while NATO gets hit with more n more nerfs for "realism" reasons that only seems to apply one way.

I'm gonna inform yall that I focus mainly on Russia here before anyone says "But T-58!" or "Look at the Rafale!".

1. The Helicopter & CAS joke

The Mi-28NM with LMUR is the most easy n stupid way to score multiple frags without proper way to encounter it. How are you supposed to counter a helicopter that sits 10km away, spams fire-and-forget missiles, and hides behind a mountain before you even see him on ur radar, not to mention helis have trouble of "notching" the radar by standing still in the air. Besides that all nato AA have troubles with shoting it even if its high in the air, IRIST gets trolled by super realistic DIRCM mounted on MI-28NM and if you try to gun it down with a plane while its piloted by any good player he will gun you down with super accurate and realistic 30mm on that heli.

• Russia already had the best CAS in the game, and Gaijin just gave them more jets just because they were suffering bad no?
• Meanwhile, NATO and bluefor overall is still stuck playing "fire and pray" because they don't have anything that touches the performance of the Kh-38 in terms of damage or most importantly SPEED.

2. "Realism" for Me, But Not for Them

The hypocrisy with the MBT modeling is just insane.

• The Buffs: Russian tanks get a reload buff because "the documents say so."
• The Nerfs: Those same documents say if the autoloader breaks, the turret is dead. Does Gaijin add that? Naaaah.
• Instead, they "invent" a turret basket component for ONLY Abrams and Leopard to make them easier to one-shot, promising they'd add it to everyone else "soon." It's been a year, guess what? We're still waiting :D

3. The BMPT/Terminator Mess

The new BMPT is the definition of a "Cash Cow." Putting a T-90M chassis, crewless turret with dual 30mms and ATGMs at 10.3 then movin it to 10.7 then finally to 11.3 is a joke.
It's poorly modeled too and often it's hard to even get it killed from the side or back, damage model seems to eat rounds often.

• They "fixed" the model so you can’t even overpressure it with 120mm HE anymore.
• They "fixed" the external missiles and ammo so it don't blow up the vehicle when hit.
• It’s an unkillable overpowered wet dream sitting at a BR where it faces 2A4s and early Abrams that struggles do a thing to it because if u miss once (well sometimes even if you dont miss it deals little to no damage) and it will mow you down with 30mm or spam ATGMS at you.

4. The Armor Gap

Gaijin is too "scared" to guess NATO armor values, so they just leave huge holes in the Leopard and Abrams armor. BUT the second a new Russian tank comes out? Suddenly they’re experts and slap 800mm+ of effective armor on it based on either nothing or documents that are classified no?

5. Other controversies

Couple of examples:

Such as old topic regarding of Stinger missle nerf.
Gaijin did great research and said that Stinger can't pull such G's because Russian Igla missle can't pull them either.

Gaijin refusing to buff IRIST because "it's been shot from a plane so it's faster", doesent even count that the missle on the ground uses completly different motor.

After all it's a game, why we always need proper military documents to get idk 50hp more on an tank engine?

The Bottom Line

Top tier is miserable. The "skill issue" crowd mostly on Reddit is blind to the fact that this isn't a game anymore—it feels like a propaganda machine.
You can't have "balance" when one nation gets fire-and-forget "nukes" and unkillable vehicle while everyone else gets coughin babies.

Gaijin doesn't care about a fair fight, they care about selling the next overpowered (mostly) Russian premium to people who want an easy win.

And for the last time, I highlit this post is only to show how the company been working and modeling Russian equpiment and constatnly nerfing others (Yes we had some buffs like 5s absurd reload for abrams, nobody asked for this, we asked for proper armor and maybe finally better round).
