Why are German tanks so dismal compared to russian ones

Armor certainly is not as it should.   Why would the russian tanks be so fantasy made up?  Rigged? Why does it take tanks from the 50's, 60's and 70's to stack up against the WW2 German tanks.   we all know russian tanks were pos, yet they are fantasy OP in wot.   It would certainly be good for the game if it were balanced and fair, but it is a russian game so we just have to lower expectations and any expenditures, if any at all.
