When looking at the March 2026 player stats. I’ve come to the desperate realization that in GRB matches above BR 10.0, only two nation-BR combinations outside of Russia manage to achieve a win rate above 50%—while Russia, which is of course absolutely free of any bias, sits comfortably above 50% across all these BRs, with some pushing close to 60%. And this surely has nothing to do with balance mishaps caused by the ever-so-earnest and responsible snail.
Since the problem of “Russia bias” in high-BR GRB shows no sign of being addressed in the foreseeable future, and given that the current balance renders high-BR GRB utterly unplayable—for everyone, including Russia. Other nations struggle to win, while Russian vehicle players are so numerous they can barely even get into a match—shouldn’t we be looking for alternative ways to salvage high-BR GRB?
For instance: right now, mixed nation rooms with no faction restrictions only appear when queue times drag on too long. Could we try, going forward, to ensure that both sides always have Russian vehicles present to balance things out, regardless of queue length? This would ease the matchmaking pressure on Russian players while also mitigating the performance disadvantage faced by other nations’ vehicles.
