I was wondering if there will ever be a option where we can turn off, disable gamemodes, have more or have more realistics country teams like NATO vs USSR and China in war thunder ground I enjoy playing the game but I really hate the Battle gamemode at top tier it just feels like russia always stampeds no matter what. I have top tier Russia and USA it just feels boring always winning with Russia.

Unfortunately, Gaijin is highly unlikely to let us outright disable or blacklist specific gamemodes like Battle. They are hardcoded into the map rotation strictly to maintain queue velocity and keep matchmaking times low. If they gave everyone a toggle, the queues for specific maps and modes would completely fall apart.
As for the matchmaking teams, the era of clean “NATO vs. USSR/China” matchups is long gone. The matchmaker completely prioritizes BR (Battle Rating) proximity and operational efficiency over historical or political accuracy, which is why we constantly end up with mixed, immersion-breaking lobbies.
You are completely spot on about Russia stampeding in the Battle gamemode at top tier. Because Battle relies on capturing and holding a static objective for a long duration, it perfectly rewards the current Russian top-tier meta. When you couple their aggressive kinetic protection modeling with the sheer map denial of the Pantsir-S1 and BMPT suppression, they excel at dug-in, defensive grid locks. It makes the matches incredibly one-sided and, honestly, a chore to play even when you are on the winning side.
Until Gaijin completely overhauls the map objectives or introduces a dedicated historical matchmaking toggle (which they won’t), top-tier Battle is going to stay a boring, one-sided stomp.
