History[]

The T-90MS Tagil is a recent variant of the T-90 MBT which includes a modified turret, ERA (which provides protection against tandem warheads and reduces penetration of APFSDS rounds by over 50%), ATGM protection system, and is mounted with a newer 125mm smoothebore which allows for farther ranges and better accuracy. It was first introduced in 2011 and is being suggested to be exported to foreign countries, during 2017 it was confirmed that one Middle East country ordered 464 T-90MS Tagils.

In-Game[]

The T-90MS is the second to last vehicle in the Russian tech tree as of this build. The T-90MS Tagil is considered one of the least effective tanks by the community, this is due to its weakness being the poor survivability due to the abundance of armor which is a common trait for late Soviet/Russian vehicles but the Tagil suffers the worst from it (Due to update 2.0 gameplay changes APDS is highly effective against heavily armored making tanks which have low health yet high armor be taken out quite easily with APDS). The main advantages for the T-90MS is its high top speed making fun matches for flag captures even the reverse speed is decently fast unlike its predecessors and its gun which is good enough to take out enemy vehicles. It is suggested to keep the vehicle at a lower level during upgrades as it is an effective vehicle against lower level vehicles, as it allows the vehicle to take advantage of its good stats, it is suggested to ignore the reactive armor upgrade as this would slightly negate the APDS overmatching it improving the survivability and lightly upgrade the vehicle's gun and ammunition so that it can do effective damage.

Pros and Cons[]

Pros

  • Good top speed both forward and in reverse
  • Good gun having access to all necessary ammunitions including ATM
  • Thickly armored (This mainly serves as a con though)

Cons

  • Poor survivability due to APDS usually taking it out in a couple of hits
