Default Some Giro thoughts

I am wondering if modern Russian stuff is possibly to good cant find info on perhaps Epoletov could chip in think he did work on recent Russian OOB changes.

With out checking to my knowledge West has the following tanks with 6 stabilization.
USA - M1A2 SEP
Australia - There Abrams & only none USA version, error?
S. Korea - K1A1
Israel - Merkerva Mk4

Russia T-80 UM (not Bars)
T-90A

Both have stabilisers rated 6 which for the following reasons I find suspect.
T-80 I think has the bigger turret ( if remember correctly) though still small by Western standards so if any has 6 would expect it to be T-80.
How did they keep pace with USA tech looking at military budgets over the last few years, in game Russia gets 6 giro 2 years before USA does.
Also Russian refit/new tank production has been fairly limited AFAIK so giving the majority 5 makes sense to me or even 4 like the export T-90s are given.

Also related Ukraine T80 UD has giro of 4 & never improves, also the T-84 has a giro of 3. Pretty sure Ukraine said they made improvements possibly not to giro but to overall FC.

In summary I think T-90A is nearly on par with SEP & Merk4 in game terms with fractionaly less FC while T-80 UM matches most Western tanks on FC but has a better giro.
In game terms & not advocating changes due to this just pointing out modern Russian stuff is probably modeled as being more capable of hitting Western armour than the reverse as they are 1 size smaller. Certainly if fire involves moving a short distance to engage.
