Why would they be easier if the Soviet top tier has a higher winrate than all 3?

So when someone mentions the Soviets, your first instinct is to make the claim that players playing the Soviet tech tree are more skilled…
Skill has nothing to do with tanks being good or not, or tanks being superior or inferior to others.
@Perinvisus
By all means prove that “Russia” suffers if you’re going to claim that my stance is wrong… Russia’s not a tech tree to begin with; and the Soviet tech tree does not suffer [my stance], a statement I’ve made since the beginning of the game.

His claim is that all soviet players just happen to be magically more skilled. Tens of thousands of players, enough to a point where any personal skill shouldn’t matter to get roughly the same averages. He basically knows he’s lying, he just doesn’t care.

So in which direction are you arguing now? Because this
Implies that you think Soviet top tier is harder than the other 3 which it evidently isn’t

Something being easier does not make the others hard.

Then please grind out the Russian tech tree and show us your stats.
Should be the easiest way to proof how OP russia is, no ?

Nah, there is no point in going that far.
He said he has so much proof so it shouldn’t be that hard to post it.
But it is always like that with people on forum, big mouth, big words, no evidence and proof.

I don’t need to show you any evidence, trust me bro.

It’s funny how the War Thunder subreddit has zero complaints about DMCA’d War Thunder content… cause the only DMCA’d War Thunder content are cheaters uploading their cheat adverts.

Russian doctrine fits the average mentality of “not one step back” found in Pubs. The reason it is so good is because Russians were like, “what if we just made brawlers instead of snipers” and did what everyone else in War Thunder does: drive forward and shoot anything that resembles a vehicle. It’s not because Russian tanks are OP, it’s just that no other tank in the game fits that mentality.
Leopards and Challys, you snipe with.
Abrams and Merkavas, you support with.
Types, Arietes, and Chinese tanks you flank with.
Russians you brawl.
Simple understanding of doctrine makes your game so much easier.

Flank with that thing?
nah they just speed of average Leopard it can but not fast enough to be considering as flanker
more like long range sniper (when it said long i mean it)
I’ve messed with it in Customs, it’s not too bad of a flanker, but you’re right. It really doesn’t do anything right. It basically relies on sniping or flanking because the second it is looked at… well, you’re respawninh.

I brawl with all tanks, and Soviet tanks are actually worse to brawl with.
Brawling requires reload, ammo, and mobility…
Sniping is long-range brawling, which relies more on armor than close range brawling does.
Arietes are poor snipers because they lack armor.

I feel like the WOT mentality of russian tanks are for brawling has come to wt…
In what world are they the best brawlers? As you say they lack reload, gun handling and mobility especially in reverse.
The round isn’t that good either compared to say l/44 dm53 or even the m829a2 which you barely have to aim with.

What else does it do if not bonk tanks? Maybe our definition of bonk is just different but it literally oneshots every tank in its br range (didnt try on the most heavily roof armored top tier tanks) with a hit to the cupola. every 4 seconds. and the more lighly armored stuff basically with hits to the turret face and light tanks almost anywhere. It’s got pneumatic suspension so it also is one of the only russian vehicles that can make peeking hills work, you got amazing one-shot-kill everything barrel launched atgms (with the downside of insane reload, but u can just switch to the he) and for light tanks, sideshots or track and barrel torture u got the 30 mil all of that with good mobility. It’s one of the most versatile light tanks in game. Its even got gen2 (or 3???) thermals coupled with engine smoke while not a lot of other tanks in that br range have any thermals.
Sit tank down behind a hill undetected on a lot of maps if u know where enemies will show up to control sightlines, switch to secondary gun (the 100 mil with he loaded) rangefind his cupola or turret face depending on target, or his tracks first to make him sit still (preferably from commander binos) and start bonking. Try it, its an actual fun and very different playstyle and in a lot of situations actually very effective. And that doesnt mean the bmp-3 doesnt work in other situations. It’s very good (certainly in some situations facing certain enemies you’ll be in trouble but that counts for every vehicle), you can deny that as much as you want a lot of good players will still use it to great effect. And dont get me started on the BMD-4 variants. would you say those are also not good then i got news for you. I mean they are better, sure, but they are insane. BMP-3 is just a lot slower but still very good
The fact that maybe in esports matches with 5 ppl per team and everyone knows where everyone is and its way less chaotic it wont be very good doesnt count since in every public ground rb match about at least 50% of players are unaware.
Doubt it’s a carry over from WoT. I’d hazard it comes from people coming from NATO tanks into Soviets without bothering to adapt to the depression, writing them off as bad at long range, and then making a logic leap that if it’s not good at range, it must be good at brawl.

Well wot for over 14 years has had the same mantra man, while in that game jt is more true.due to how accuracy is modelled.
But yeah what you say too rings true
