And neither are the NATO craft but here we are…

Which aren’t as good as what NATO uses IRL, so that’s actually where the game is realistic for a change… Yet they’re good enough to perform accordingly in the game so there’s parity there for all intents and purposes.
Kvt (in game) isn’t an a1 either it’s just m1
I think now that F15E is in they should add the SU30/33 and j15
Yeah, I guess I clicked on the wrong post in the reply chain.
i dont see single vehicles at bias, every nation got a insane tank/plane or two.
BUT where i see the russian bias is how they got a lot of complete lineups, including a metric tons of AAs.
They even had a replacement ready when the Strella went up in BR and now they are getting yet another one.
Other nations lacks different stuff throughout the BRs, a swedish main is boned if he needs to get heavy kills, americans are boned when comes to AA in quite a lot of BRs (im not counting the two new, as they are low tier and the skink is frankly not that great anyways) and so on.
They have even given ASU’s scouting at the BR where russia have few light tanks.
That’s where i see the bias.

if there is no russian bias in this game i wonder why the vast majority of videos on media about bias concern russian vehicles…

All major nations will have amazing lineups at multiple BR ranges.
If Gaijin was so keen to keep USSR filled with AAs at all times, they wouldn’t introduce IR slingers like LAV-AD or Ozelot 12-18 months before Strela, practically leaving USSR to fight with 8.3 Shilka only.
In fact, USSR had a gaping hole between Shilka and 2S6 for like three and a half years, all the while multiple nations had vehicle(s) to fill that gap much better.
I almost forgot, M247 was added in 2018 and is still the best gun-based SPAA in the game, making it the only AA at that BR range that’s somewhat capable of engaging at longer distances, especially helicopters.
Same thing goes for Japan, Italy and Israel. Minor nations in general have less vehicles to play with, can’t really see where’s Russian bias in that ?
Scouting is given per-vehicle basis, not only light tanks will have this feature enabled.
US also have TDs in M50 and M56 that have scouting, while also being at the BR where US has few light tanks. Germany’s Wiesel 1A2 can also scout.
Guess what those mentioned vehicles have in common ? It’s certainly not the nation they’re playing for.
Bias is like WT’s equivalent of flat earth.

Yeah that’s my entire point, if they had a viable line up maybe they would spawn more than once or twice. Instead they spawn what they can (trash like Clickbait or Wolfpack) or what is the least appaling to play (HSTVL and F16), and that’s if they don’t get curbstomped by the protagonists of the game before getting enough SP.
Very difficult to understand for a RU player i know
So your entire point was that because Soviets and USA lack a viable lineup? I get that Click Bait and T-80UE lack options, but there are squadron vehicles for both USA and Soviets to make that a 2 tank lineup.
Interesting that you claim HSTVL is not appealing, 2S38 sales disagree with you.
And other tech trees have more lineups.

Your post responding to an American critic reads as… “Americans that criticize War Thunder are clearly employees. American critics would be banned if they weren’t employees.” - ExcaliburSniper.
Criticizing War Thunder isn’t trolling; that goes to you as well @SilviaKings
So yeah, do better.
I have said this before and I will say it again. Because US main have to use something to justify their claim, an escape code when the vehicle doesn’t meet their expectation of being borderline broken or just straight up unkillable. They will use anything to avoid getting better and throw insult around until they get what they want. Say anything , do anything beside getting better and learn how to play the game. Warthunder is not the only game with this problem but with it having a lot of vehicle that was in service or still in service. The problem is even worse, with them pushing their own agenda left and right the moment the vehicle of choice didn’t meet their expectation

Click Bait is garbo then what will the OES ? The AlKhalid ? or even the T80U-E1 be ? If wolf pack is garbo then what will the 2S25M or any light at that br be ? It is not about what the US have at that line up , cause all little Timmy have is the single click bait , what else will he spawn in if he already dead after rushing to the most inconvenient spot then leave after he get 1 death cause le game bad and le vehicle bad

If you’re not a dev/cm/mod maybe you could write about the ‘services’ you perform for them to be protected from bans for trolling. If anything it would be the first sensical/true thing you write on here.
@ExcaliburSniper
I just don’t troll.
I’ve never trolled in my life and never will.
It’s theoretically a waste of time, and I’m sticking to that conclusion.
All I do is honesty for anything else would take too much effort away from learning things.
People having a different perspective than you is normal.
EVERYONE on the planet has perspectives different than you, I am not the only one; just as everyone on the planet has different perspectives than myself, you are not the only one.
Sorry, didn’t think you were that fragile.

So if i got it right, your point is that the vast majotity of videos on media which are about russian vehicles is due to players that dislike Russia or they are dissapointed by the performance of their preferable nation vehicles or just because they have skill issues? All these parameters should apply for someone to claim that there is usa or german bias too and thus there should be an equality of bias videos on media but this is not happening…
This is a can of worm that I suggest you should not open. Especially when we are strictly talking about game. For the sake of this thread , please don’t
Mostly this , cause barely any of them able to provide a point that be able to back up their claim , some are able to but then again, they are the minority that barely speak out their opinion on such thing
Refer to the first one and think about where was Gaijin founded. Yeah it is universal for the west to think bad of the East. This thread is a great example of that, you should look into this if you want. But basically , le stuff on one side is always better than the other, even in this game.

In the almost two years of playing Warthunder, I’ve not encountered nearly as much “russian bias” as bias towards Swedish vehicles. I encounter Swedish vehicles surviving things much more often than any other nation, even Russia.

First of all, this is a realistic game with real life combat vehicles and as such, plenty of people will bring IRL biases with them, especially with the ongoing conflicts around the world. So yeah, there’re definitely people that will dislike nations purely because of outside causes.
Second of all, your second and third point are kind of linked together. Someone performing badly in a given vehicle might consider this is because his vehicle is crap and the vehicle he struggles against is OP. It’s much easier to shift blame onto something else rather than on your skill issues.
I’ve seen numerous people over the years that claim USSR vehicles are brokenly OP, but they still somehow perform within their account average while using said brokenly OP vehicle. So can you tell me what made those people claim said vehicles are brokenly OP, because their personal experience surely didn’t ?
Have you tried consuming media that’s mainly for Russian speaking community ?
I think you might find interesting stuff there.

There is no parity for airplanes at the moment.
US planes rule the sky by far.
If you would play both you would know.
