My angle for intetpreting this is that you actually have to provide documented, physical, on the ground evidence in order to even stand a chance at overcoming the Russian Bias / Stalinium bullshit that Gaijin so often engages in.
Gajin usually uses official public sources where possible, assuming that they are correct, and all tanks were made to spec, which is fair for praticality but maybe sometimes the spec was a suggestion, and sometimes the “spec” wasnt so real and was a carefully planted lie
Reports from oposite intelegence agencies are probably more likely to have less lies but at same time are usually top secret and have way less concrete info to work on
And there is also wear and tear, lack of maintaince, unproper storage, maybe the steel just got a bit rusty
I mean, they say they do, but the stats that are displayed on the vehicles infocards in game are very often just not the actual stats they actually use, in the game.
Like, people have tested this.
Many of the stat readouts are just wrong.
It is good though that you bring up that yeah, they’re orienented around ‘stated’ specs, which… very often do not actually reflect what was actually constructed.

To be fair, a lot of tanks from other nations have now the exact same bullshit volumetric modeling a lot of soviet tanks have, so… mild win, I guess?

… Their bias was a lot more blatent back in the early days, but yeah, you’re right.
