Global Superpowers: Reality vs Gaming

America

Spends a trillion dollars on the military
30-year advantage over other countries
Sucks in video game

Russia

People spend more on alcohol than the government spends on the military
Comparable to the Indian military
Dominant nation in video game

Why?

Players aren’t the US military.

Players aren’t the Soviet military.

I’m indeed very American who served in mil

Besides that, Russia doesn’t dominate anymore. Some of Russias worst lineups in terms of win rate are at top tier (which is what OP implies they’re talking about).

Based on warthunder air sim content creators,

U.S air in top tier sim seems to dominate incredibly, there’s even a bunch of sim forum threads complaining the red team barely fills out lobbies as they don’t want to get stomped.

Good on you.
I stated players, far more than just yourself, good sir.

We as players can have the best equipment ever made, but if we don’t use it correctly we’ll get stomped on by better players in T-80U, etc.

@jspene
I’ll still state the fact that win rate is down to team ability no matter which side is allegedly doing well.

If you were to talk about it, China as one of the most powerful countries in the world would have something to say. :)

Exactly, 10.3/10.7 Russia is a very strong lineup yet the win rate is pretty poor if I recall correctly. It’s the same issue with 11.7 America.

If I make comparisons I would get banned :( can’t do my fellow Chinese friend :(

Mate, it’s well known that the current equipment of US/NATO is way better. That’s why we don’t have the eurofighter typhoon or f22/35, and we do not get the latest rounds with anti-era tip technology.

This is a GAME where it is supposed to a competition and all sides have a fair shot at each other.

Also, what is it with Yank mains thinking the only two nations in the game are US and Russia? Surely if you’ve got a grievance it’s with Sweden too, which is more powerful. What is the reason for only calling out Russia in your post? Personal opinions or what?

But it’s ok to give pantsir spaa for russia, very unfair, very unbalanced

  • It’s okay to give USA undertiered Sabres

  • It’s okay to give USA the most potent CAS at pretty much every other BR

  • It’s okay to give USA F-84F an air spawn whilst other nations do not keep theirs

And so on and so forth. Where is your concern for other European nations?

This isn’t the 80s bud. The Cold War is over.

A picture should jog your memory

People with direct ties to the Russian ministry of the interior work for Gaijin.

One of them even fired a well liked RU community rep.

No he doesnt, and no he didn’t.

The guy was previously a public servant, in the same way a police officer is a public servant, or a bin man is a public servant. The situation with Keofox is a mess, and its only known internally why he was let go, but it is fairly obvious that he wasnt fired just because one guy didn’t like him, that isn’t how businesses work.
