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.

Sorry for writing off-topic, but still - can you explain how the kills-to-battles ratio is calculated? Am I correct in understanding that if I play 2 battles without any kills, for example, one sortie in each battle, and then in the third battle I get 3 kills in one sortie, the ratio would be 1, which would be counted in the statistics? Or how does it actually work? I started playing back in 2018 and didn’t care at all, just played recklessly. Now I’m trying to fix things. I want to improve my stats, but it’s too hard to boost them with the number of battles I’ve already played. Since I’ve spent quite a bit of money on this account, I don’t want to abandon it. So, I’m trying to understand the correct calculation. And what’s more important when looking at stats? Overall stats or monthly stats? This question is for those who are obsessed with stats and know a lot about it. Thanks!
Honestly, I didn’t believe in Russia bias until recently, the whole Kh-38 ordeal, and how they seemingly ignored and closed the thread forever rid me of any doubt I had left. And now, with how poorly they have interpreted these new SAMs, and how they STILL allow Pantsir to absolutely humiliate these new SPAA’s is blatant favoritism on their part, zero doubts, there is also the GNSS buff to Kh-38ML which conveniently came with this update and gives Russia the only viable stand-off weapon in the game where they can engage these new SPAA from absolute safety, so literally, nothing changed gameplay wise for Su-30/34 spammers and top tier is still ruined.

They locked the topic and kept it so they could read more of it and take notes without more off-topic nonsense.
The new SPAA is vastly superior to Pantsir in every way. F&F is superior to SACLOS, and half of them have longer ranges.
Pantsir you can fly high against.
You can’t fly high against SLAMRAAM, Spyder, and SLM.
Granted, I do think the lack of evidence for Kh-38MT prior to the new SPAA should’ve warranted locking the loadout.
Time will tell if I still think that in another month.
You made a great post regardless. I understand your concerns.

man i love when my super duper state of the art missiles has less speed than MIM-72 and lose to a saclos guided missiles
and i love how they give the same max speed for everything to be 710m/s and 780m/s
i love how 150kg missiles has less speed than a 50kg missiles(MIM-146)
and i love how Pantsir has more range than all of them
