They got a new bias pantsir. Armor is still overperforming compared to IRL. Best helicopter with best ATGM. BMPT is still broken even at 12.7 ground. Gaijin obviously doesnt care to hide their own biases at this point in 2 years It’ll be Russia vs Russia lol
If they remove bmpt/72 it would be quite a relief, that is 12.7 vehicle put in 11.3 br but the game is “balanced” according to Gaijin, it has ruined 10.3 and above

Nope. It’s all I play now. Not for the BMPT or the new Pantsir. I find them boring. I play Russia so the worst thing I have to worry about in CAS is an IRIS-T ~50% of the time.
I scout, I fly, my ordinance doesn’t dive after launch and lose lock on its target. I don’t get blasted out of the sky immediately 18km from the battlefield. Even the IRIS-T doesn’t do that.
Mixed match? I leave.
It’s really that simple. Years ago I didn’t think there was any Russian bias in this game. Now it’s just stupidly obvious. 2S38, BMPT, MI-28NM, SU-30, Pantsir SM-SV. Meanwhile, any bug opened about how the AGM-84H doesn’t function properly, loses lock easily, has no GNSS capability even though it’s on the stat card, and doesn’t even have programable cruise height, just gets closed.
If you didn’t main Russia and don’t have time to switch from another nation, too bad I guess.

Not playing top tier is only thing one can do to avoid
I am enjoying low - mid tier these days

Welcome, we’re glad to have ya!
Try out US 9.0 lineup. Xm803 is cool, the M60 TTS is a demon, Xm800t is crazy, xm264 wont let you down. And you dont need to woory about russian tanks, your fighting t55s
I swear, when you see that thing come out of the corner and aim at you, it’s a guaranteed death sentence.

No, there is absolutely no point playing another nation than Russia at top tier.
Russia has the absolute bias.
As a reminder of why NATO forces loose big majority of games (non-exhaustive list) :
- Spikes/MMPs are broken (gotta love hitting commander MG 2 times in a row, a cannon then 6 ERAs eating the ATGM) ;
- Bradley TOW-2B missiles are broken (ridiculous damage model) ;
- Tandem ATGMs sometimes get eaten by ERAs instead of getting through (the whole point of tandem ATGMs) ;
- Russian IFVs can launch their ATGMs on the move, while NATO IFVs cannot, for some reason. Also, NATO IFVs need to deploy the ATGM launchers, which takes a very long time ;
- NATO MBT armors being paper compared to reality and russian MBTs ingame ;
- NATO MBTs getting nerfed to the ground (turret basket and electronics everywhere now, except the Arietes I think. We’re still waiting for t-series basket, maybe in 8 years we don’t know) ;
- NATO MBTs not getting their best DART (Leos, Leclercs, …)
- T-series model are broken (ERAs/side armors in general and autoloaders eat DARTs ( Russian Bias in 2026? - #1603 by SnuggyNyx , unbelievable), ERAs eat ATGMs, the whole model eat bombs ( Stalinium armor? - #684 by TROOPER7 : what is THIS seriously ??!)
- LMURs top down approach are correctly modeled, as well as their damage model => AH-64E AGMs are completely BROKEN compared to these, you usually need 2-4 missiles to destroy MBTs/SPAAs/BMPTs
- BMPTs are broken, no need to develop here
- Pantsir-S1 best 12.0 SACLOS SPAA in the game (12 ready-to-fire missiles, multi targeting system). Let’s not even talk about 12.7 Pantsir, this will end top tier experience pure and simple ;
- Tiger helicopters still at 12.7, why ? 8/12 FnF missiles VS 16 for other helis, 7-8 km max range VS 16/25 km max range for other helis, no IRCM, climb slower than other helis, HAC and UHT don’t even have a cannon ;
- 75% of small maps, advantaging russian MBTs because they rush you in corners
- To shoot at russian MBTs, gotta go pixelhunting. Urban debris on the ground ? Good luck shooting at LFP. The MBT does zigzags ? Good luck shooting at LFP. The MBT has bushes all over UFP ? Good luck shooting at driver’s port/breach (especially when you have the blur motion on, and that those bushes will “melt” with the tank’s armor in a blurry weird way). You shoot at russian MBTs from far away ? Good luck, gotta go pixel hunting. NATO MBTs in comparaison ? You point, click and shoot. Simple, easy.
- Russian MBTs don’t need to have the best pen, because NATO MBT armors are paper. They have basically the same speed going forward. They now have basically the same reload speed as well (6.4sec reload = +/- the 6sec reload some NATO MBTs have). They of course have so much armor that even top NATO darts can’t frontaly pen.
- IFVs : russians have IFVs with much higher fire rate, laser accuracy, 2 cannons (1 main for HE/ATGMs, 1 autocannon), much faster than some wheeled NATO IFVs. NATO IFVs in comparaison ? Bushmaster, completely garbage.
- Yak-9k, completely broken.
- Been playing some 7.3 US recently. Noticed something. Russian heavy/medium tanks, and some of their tank destroyer, are almost unpenable, IF YOU PLAY A NATO HEAVY TANK AGAINST THEM. IS-3 ? Gotta go pixel hunting in that turret neck. IS-4M ? Same, but the spot is even tinier (gotta love bouncing on its side with a 224mm pen shell too). T-10M ? Don’t even think you can pen that. Object 268 ? Gotta go pixel hunting in that driver’s port. T-54/55 ? Gotta go pixel hunting in that tiny cupola, berely visible). Hell, even some of their T-34/44 will bounce if their turret is angled weirdly. NATO heavy/medium tanks in comparaison ? Multiple weakspots, side will not bounce against a shell (even against russian SPAAs lmao), if you turn your turret a little bit, you’re done.
- T-series MBTs have IRST + HE + Proxy HE + ATGM shells. Some NATO MBTs don’t even have any of that (EDIT : they just gave Leclercs and I think Arietes HE shells, that’s a start).
- Sweedish IFVs still don’t have IRST
So many more things could be said. NATO SPAAs don’t have cannons. Russia has literally 10 MBTS/IFVs they can use at top tier, worning out NATO forces because they don’t have as many => which leads to constant losses against Russia at top tier GRB. Russia has that 1 ship that doesn’t even exist. KH 38s don’t exist too as well. In the main trailer, it’s the russian MBT that wins against the Abrams. When the AH-64 launches missiles against the russian MBT, we can’t see if the tank exploded or not, because they cut the scene. A lot, lot more.

To realize what is actually happening at +10.3 BRs against Russia :
I invite everyone to check this guy’s post, he really took the time to develop his thoughts and expose the obvious bias. I think what’s he’s explaining and showing really shows what is the problem at top tier.

You cοuld add that Russian tanks are almost invulnerable to artillery strikes.
Lately I have played and upgraded tanks from 8,7 up to 12,7 of Russia then Germany and now im at 9.0 USA. Honestly there is no comparison between the amount of German and USA tanks that i have lost due to artillery strikes compared to Russians…

The most common tank to encounter around 9.0 is definitely not T55, you go against 9.3 vehicles most of the time and there’s like 3 T72s for every T55AM1/AMD1 at this rating.
Still, the US lineup at the BR is definitely very strong.
