You don’t know what Soviet win-rate is.
Italy had the best “Thunderskill Win rate” for June or July, not the Soviets.
If everyone flocked to Soviets their winrates would tank, not be high.
Just like what happened with 9.0 Germany. When all the good players left people stopped claiming German bias even tho 9.0 Germany never changed, just the good players flocked to other vehicles elsewhere.
Sweden has more armor and more pen.
Also Type 10 & TKX have gen 3 thermals.
Type 10 was even the first with gen 3.
I don’t talk about Thunderskill winrate, cause minor nations tend to be played by good players who are bored with the big 3 like I am. And they aren;t basically noob friendly with how much stuff they are missing… and that’s why it’s the case with Italy probably. It’s a well known thing
You can see on Thunderskill that t80bvm is the most played mbt in the game by far. Also, there are many in game clues that it’s the case since I’m not a firm believer in Thunderskill.
I don’t need full developer stats to have 100% proof when I can see what I see when I play. When you are waiting in a queue in the game you can see that Russia has more than double players waiting for the game in comparison to other nations.
Sometimes America and Germany get close but most of the time it’s uncontested. Also many times in-game it’s everyone against Russia, everybody knows that. Even Russia against Russia and some other nations. There’s so much proof. Also yeah, I forgot about the type 10 and TKX, you are right.
But do they have great armor and ridiculous line up like t80bvm does? I don’t think so. They have poor type 93 and Russians have the all-mighty Pantsir.
Good competitive players go where they know they can get the best performance so they can up their win rate since most of those people are grinding their win rate for fun or whatever.
As in any game when there is something that is the strongest it will be used the most cause it gets the most performance out of the good players.
Some examples like this, I know they are from old games but what the heck ( ump 45 from mw2, and m16a3 from Battlefield 3 etc…)
Or in the case when Leopard 2a6 was added or the first m1 Abrams. They were overpowered. That was ridiculous too. But it didn’t last half as long as this is going.
Thunderskill is not a source.
I don’t understand why people like T-80BVM.
T-80BVM has a round worse than M1A1’s, armor almost as good as Strv 122’s, and speed about as fast as a Type 10.
Soviet’s 11.3s are mid. lolpenned by M829A2 & slower, yet people make them work.
Cause the 4 rules of tanking always matter:
Don’t be seen. [Positioning]
Don’t be shot at. [Reverse speed pt1]
Don’t be hit. [Reverse speed pt2]
Don’t be penned. [Armor]
Well honestly that makes the game more boring, going with a tank and having an advantage simply because the developers do it on purpose has no incentive, for example I prefer to play with the tanks being as realistic as possible, and having to be me The one that makes the difference, not the one that does things for me and saves me from being destroyed because I have a certain tank.
Whats very infuriating is when gaijin doesnt model the Type 10 armour properly leaving blatant dumb armour holes but then pampers all their russian tanks like babies.
The strangest evidence and calculations I’ve ever seen. The calculation does not even take into account the “reflection” module, which is installed on all major modifications of the tanks of the USSR/Russia.
Although I agree that the penetration calculation module, the Dagor Engine, does not work correctly
so in plain terms since some of you still haven’t figured it out. Russian tanks armor is made out of fantasy stalinium Everyone elses armor is made out of paper.
