The first shot didn’t hit the track, what’s your excuse about that
Again, never happens with a NATO MBT

Of course
It’s just russian vehicles that are buffed like crazy

All your comments about volumetric and game mechanics don’t prove anything until you show us that those mechanic and volumetric roles apply to all nations and not only Russia.
There is a clear tendency to make Russian top tier tanks invincible and majority of War Thunder players are living with it on a daily basis and you repeating (skill issues) will not change anything. funny that when shooting at the tanks of any other nation no one is suffering from “Skill Issues”

I like it when someone counter my opinion with evidence, that’s how I am convinced.
So now honestly from your experience, you think all nations tank models are modeled correctly and its players incorrect aiming is the cause of this bias feeling ??
if so, do you also think the BMPT is also modeled correctly, because I don’t believe it is this strong on real life.
(these are genuine questions and not trying to challenge you because you proved your point of view with the videos you provided)
3 year old clip btw
No, not all tanks are modelled correctly. Gaijin loves to be incredibly inconsistent with how they model things (F-18 suffering from no channel loss for some reason as an example).
But a large reason why people believe in Russian bias is they mainly play western nations and begin only notice Russian things being either “op” or “incorrectly modelled” and grow blind to the same things occurring in other nations (35mm API-T, PUMA on release, my video of NATO volumetric bs).
Humans are inherently biased towards certain things and war thunder players are exceptionally good at denying the fact they just might suck, which results in things like Russian bias becoming popular.
As for the BMPT, I have no idea how exactly it should be IRL. That’s something I’m not an expert in, HOWEVER I do believe that its survivability is a little overperforming, specifically in regards to the external ammo belt. In my opinion it should either break a lot of components when damaged, such as barrel, breech, FCS etc or not be an external belt at all and be modelled as an internal one.
That would heavily decrease its survivability and make it less of a problem in hull down positions. I believe this would be much better than just moving it up in br, over and over again.
A large part in what makes the BMPT so strong as well is people being frustrated fighting it, they will often just whiff due to panic or something similiar and then leave the match soon after. This results in Russia just winning by default because their players aren’t 1 death leaving. So they just win through numbers rather than anything else

so…?
Holy skill issue clip.
Hmmm I whiffed my shot and it didn’t pen, what now? Shooting almost the exact same spot will surely won’t end the exact same way.

I think this is best left here for everyone:
- Firstly the double standards about what sources are needed for what. Ie. Kh38MTs existing without any proper proof as far as I know, Stingers being nerfed because Iglas perform worse etc
- Secondly the difference in survivability. Kind of going hand in hand with the previous point. NATO armor is just massively underperforming, especially when it comes to spall protection. Not to mention the turret basket, something that has nothing to do with the rotation mechanism and is meant to offer additional protection but in game it is destroying the rotation mechanism and performing the spall protection of a hand grenade while russian autoloaders eat everything no problem.
- Thirdly the absurdity with which Gaijin decides what vehicles are needed and where to put them BR wise. Especially because it usually gives Russia advantages. Example: BMPT, anything with Spikes, Pantsir, new Pantsir, Buk, Osa all outperform NATO variants
- Lastly the utter CAS dominance. For years Russia has almost nonstop had the combination of best SPAA and best CAS so you couldn’t counter either with which. Sure there have been few short breaks with the IRIST but then along came the BUK or the Spice bombs which were no Kh 38s but hey at least for once NATO had a long range guided munition, it’s slow and easy to intercept but better than nothing, and now we have the Pantsir 2.0
- Not to mention oddities like the literally worst navy having the best ship in game, a plane so heavy and unwieldy it needed escorts outturning Zeros etc etc
- At the top level Russia currently has:
- The best CAS weapon: KH38MT
- The best overall Armor: BMPT
- The best heli CAS weapon: LMUR
- The best all around SPAA: The Pantsir SMSV
- Overall, making them the best nation at top tier, no questions asked, if you play top tier right now, facing the Russians, you are getting absolutely stomped by hordes of players spawning the BMPT, then spawning in CAS aircraft and spamming KH38s (once again killing anything on the field. Then they spawn in helis and spam LMURs (which are always 1 taps due to thier unique loft gaijin decided to give to them buy not hellfires). Then they spawn Pantsirs, making it absolutely impossible to get anywhere near the fight with hypersonic 75g missiles and the ability to shoot down any and all missiles you do happen to get off.

I asked some looneys about russian gun shield/breech and russian carousel/autoloader…They shut their asses up
At least I didn’t bring up the ERAs model since it is a terminal cancer problem.

Thats just ginormous cope. Nato does absolutely recieve vehicles that are blatantly under BRed but you can save your "s because incorrectly modeled aka blatant selective realism is the entire reason why russia is competetive in the first place and thats whats annoying people.
Nato vehicle uncompetetive = You fucking donkey
russian vehicle uncompetetive = Oh dear gorgeous, here have some made up missiles or made up quantity of missiles or fantasy ammo belts or quantum tunneling LDIRCMs or literally anything

As long as the russian meatriders over at gaijin think 10.3 vehicles vs terminator spam is a fair match i dont really see it being fixed

Don’t forget best props for ARB meta, yakolevs, which also comes with the best WW2 CAS, Yak-9K

they’ll give the BMPT APDSFS rounds to “compensate” the BR increase

Or they’ll turn off the ability to ammo rack it entirely
it wouldn’t be nearly as ridiculous if all of its sliders weren’t maxed out and the turret wasn’t a void of no mechanical controls

This is just false. One plane doesn’t undo 4 ranks of US and British CAS dominance in bomb load alone let alone guns
Internal fuel is labled as external , external ammo belt is labeled internal , feed mechanism which is only there to make sure the ammo feeds alright is protecting the ammo from cookoff structural steel is eating the spall instead of producing it . And the best part is when they are finally killed they can respawn in the best cas vehicles with fire and forget munition while you get a q-5 late with 2 lgbs or some pitiful overtiered f-4 phantom
