It’s more to do with the fact that I don’t have to deal with the Bias™, although my short experience with the T-80 family of tanks tells me that there isn’t any so far.
It’s more like “There’s that dude that comes and buys all the sugar in my cafe to give himself a sugar rush, making all other customers drink bitter coffee. And he’s diabetic! But you know what, starting next month I’ll replace all the sugar in this place with dextrose IV bags just for this guy, seems like a viable strategy.”
This is it^^^
Create free game, complain to players it can’t run for free??? gets mad a players when not spending enough money, add BS modification grinds (the fk i need things a tank was built with), unbreakable timed events during a working week (use ge to complete task for 1k)
The only bias I saw when grinding Russia was new player skill level. Russian tanks are easy to kill if you know maps and where to shoot a new player will hit “W” die and come here saying Russias too Strong or Tigers too Strong and vice versa. Playing Japan now bottom up I forget how annoying a Jumbo is from USA
Jesus, that also feels like taking a jab at players who freeload (also sweaty) the server and never buy premiums, but they are sweaty enough to push away new players (or casual players) because sweaty play takes the fun out of casual experiences bro lol
It’s more to do with RU having the most reliable armour and fuel tank setup to reliably eat rounds with the only one even remotely worth mentioning above them being the strv122b+, which has its biggest weak point literally sat on its face, the breach, which falls apart from a sneeze (Breach turret ring first to go almost every time) Everyone else has to aim for the smallest LFP model, or the even smaller viewport, while RU can aim anywhere on anyone else, eve through many faceplates, and kill/ammo rack errbody, while everyone else has the exact same weakpoints + 27 others. Now couple this with RU being the most heavy player faction and you can multiply the experience of nonsense X11 compared to any other nations, it comes as no surprise there’d be more complaints and such.
Most of the maps being flat somewhat negate the lack of depression they have to deal with, there’s a few hilly maps but very minor compared to the gaping flat field maps, the only drawback is that reverse speed, sure your top out is 60kph, but they’ve got fast acceleration to reach it quicker, beating out my Type10 even though it’s 10kph faster because of that accel alone.
That’s the guy who comes into your coffee shop uses your wifi and has his own coffe. But you don’t kick him out because he MIGHT buy something
War thunder has frustration amplifiers in to coax these avg joes into buying premium tanks or time to progress faster, each person is still a potential sale and therefor profit even if it comes a year into their gameplay, they want them around for that and total player count, which most assuredly matters in the grand scheme.
Most restaurants have this sign
Like bars also have this corkage fee if you wanna bring your own drinks bro
Didn’t they model the Trunnion in some Russian tanks making it impossible to breach 💀 I’ve seen topics showing other tanks having it but Gajin doesn’t add it.
EDIT: looks like China, Russia, and some Merkavas have it there might be more but it helps

The trunnion made out of otherworldly materials, deflecting APFSDS rounds.
Meanwhile
Proof confirmed!
Freeload sweats are the guys that break into your cafe every night and break your cappuccino machine, leaving only espresso one. Every customer is forced to drink espresso now. But it’s the only cafe on their way home from work. The other one is actually a drughouse with only worst of the worst. I like my coffee after work so I would still come every day. And I’m not doing drugs either. Screw it, espresso it be.
I was more struck by how the BMPT killed two crew members simply by hitting the turret a couple of times.
Oh my god. I’m currently playing the Merkava 2D, and I’m getting 50% hits to the gun mantlet from Soviet MBTs without any damage. Why when I play against the Germans or the Japanese, I have no problems with penetrating the gun mantlet.
The circular trunnion acts as an absurdly protective shield for these barrels, from what I can assume the trunnion not having an actual damage model?, everyone else has a rectangular trunnion, that sits on the backside of the barrel, so you just smack barrel and break it.

Enough time has passed, and we see that the BMPT’s statistics have only improved.
No other vehicle in the game has such high stats. And they call this balance?

Look at the statistics: America is more than half as supportive of Israel.
You see, everyone suddenly forgot all the same weakspots we’ve been firing at for the past 4+ years, simultaneous amnesia spreading across the world, tanks not good, we just all can’t remember how to beat “the exact same hull” that reacts entirely differently.
Enough of this, both namers to 12.7
I now have a hard limit of 10.0 - life’s too short to deal with the absurd bullshit above that. 10.3 is a virtual guarantee to be up tiered so you’re facing the propaganda wagon and the higher you go the worse cas gets so 10.0 it is.
It’s a real shame as I’d love to play the challenger again but ah well.
