TLDW Summary:
– WoT 2.0 when comparing to RU’s Alpha patch is very similar in design and contents
– On a whole, WoT 2.0 seems to have more contents in comparison to Alpha with more Tier 11’s in place of non-meta flamethrower HTs and Assault Arty, less arduous grinds, and having MM changes
– WoT 2.0 rollout of Tier 11’s seems also less arduous of a grind compared to RU server version with resetting of already researched tech trees
– RU’s choice of Tier 11’s (even though very limited) might be better than WoT 2.0 — Mausekonig or Obj. 279 are way better in design than a Taschenratte or KR-1
– Lesta RU’s strength is mobility/speed and more contents per patch than having one gigantic patch
– Lesta RU has way more initiative and drive when compared to WG — an average patch that seems to carry just as much weight as WG’s “BIG” patch
– Lesta RU has the daring openness to layout roadmap of upcoming changes when WG can’t even openly mention and address the issues the community is facing

Is hard to tell where his tongue ends and where lesta’s a$$ begin
(But the licking is evident)
I agree with you completely.
