War Thunder actually has fairly pervasive Western bias than Eastern. The extent to which most US equipment is unrealistically strong is endless.

Language barrier is yet another reason why we don’t have a much bigger overlap with Russian/Chinese community. Just because they do it on YT for us, doesn’t mean people from Russia/China don’t complain both officially and unofficially on their versions of sites.
TikTok is a global version of Douyin, which will still predominately aim western people. They even share the same logo.
The current “happenings” escalated from just that and it started in 2014. I clearly remember anti-Russian propaganda on mainstream media about this event in my country which is a part of NATO.
Dude, please. If the NATO equipment functioned in the game even half as good as it does IRL, Russia and China TTs would be completely ignored because they wouldn’t stand a chance at all past the Korean War era.

I dont think that someone needs a cambridge degree certificate in English language to type a few letters title like ‘’ usa bias’’ or ‘’ german bias ‘’ and upload a video on youtube , besides that you can choose any language you want to use on the menu or even use google translate, so your point isn’t very convincing.
Political or nations hostility acts have some affection on some players but it is minor, by your logic media should be full of ‘’ American bias ‘’ or according to recent facts with ‘‘israeli bias’’ too but this is not happpening…so your point isn’t very convincing again.
Maybe the main reason that ‘’ Russian bias’’ or ‘’ Stalinium’’ memes exist after all is just because all these players see something abnormal indeed… just think about it

Dude please , if you stop sucking *ss you will do better , not sucking in every vehicle you play
Yeah cause it is russian , chinese , they never notice it when it happen to western vehicle. That their own cherry pick to convince themself they are good just that the other side suck. When every vehicle they touch have less than 50% and under 1.0 KDA. Being influenced by your own biased then try to justify it to sugarcoat your own belief , always russian. But it is ok when other vehicle also doesn’t blow up with ammo being hit ,track stopped a whole *ss APFSDS, fuel tank eating a whole shell. You are doing the same , you trying to apply this to that and trying to make it look like the russian biased/ussr biased are right , they are not , the guy yapping about how bad NATO stuff is suck *ss at the game , he got mid stats in USSR and Western stuff , let that sink in. Surely that because USSR stuff better than the west right ?

So your point is russian bias doesn’t exist?
Yeah , there is no real biased in the game , if anything it is just the player building their own belief on Russian biased this russian biased that and same goes for Chinese/russian community , nato biased this nato biased that. It is your own personal experience that build these biased

Just start from yourself my dude.
Would you create an account on a media platform you don’t usually use, just to upload a video with a translated title that will lead to nothing happening outside of getting loads of hateful comments ?
Mainstream western media is clearly biased towards US and NATO, they’re never able to do something wrong in their eyes, and whoever is sided with them is automatically a good guy as well. You missing this is concerning.
You’ll also have another meme that’s as old as the game itself which makes fun of your average German main. WW2 Germany players are often portrayed to be lobotomized pieces of flesh that have IQ of a slime. I doubt that’s unironically true though.
Also, you can often see videos of western vehicles eating shots that they shouldn’t have with a caption like: “Stalinium armor reached [insert vehicle/nation]”.
It’s a funny meme that’ll literally get disproven by the video itself where vehicles from other nations will bug out as well, causing Stalinium moments.

Did you read my topic at the top? What about those incidents?
to quote a guy
and to quote myself
If your world view on a certain country or a certain group of people is not good. It will affect on how you view their suff as well. I myself play 4 nation , I can confirm that those incident that you have seen also happened on other tank as well , that doesn’t mean it is a good thing and gaijin should work on fixing it (they won’t) but russian are not the only tank with that “specialty”. And the playerbase is not helping by spreading the damn russian biased thingy , gotta love this playerbase

Plenty of times I’ve had non-Russia vehicles failing to die when they should’ve. Ammo going black and disappearing into the void, fuel tanks eating whole shells, non-penetrations on the side of the vehicle from the 90 degree angle.
These are bugs that’ll happen on vehicles regardless of which nation they’re part of.
At low tier
#1 Sherman tank stabilizers are uniformly unrealistic
#2 Sherman (76mm @30 cast) doesn’t match blueprint or any shooting test. Shooting test (Brit) 66.5, blueprint ~63.5.
Abrams
5 sec reload doesn’t account for gun cycling, so the reload is faster than real life.
Jets
Count high tier US jets flying better than flight models. F-5, F-8, etc
yes…i did it , i wasn’t using this forum but seeing this abnormal situation i created a similar to this topic (STALINIUM ARMOR? ) you know it and posted there several abnormal incidents and expressed my point of view about it .
Even here on Gaijin’s forum which obviously is not western biased, if you just type on the search lens ‘’ bias’’ you will see again that the vast majority of bias topics are about russian vehicles …
i totaly agree with you about that but as i said again every nation tank has these kind of ‘‘lucky’’ surviving or no damage shots but not with such frequency as russian tanks do and not so extreme, there is an obvious inequality .

ofcourse …every time someone is presenting these abnormal incidents its always , confirmation bias, copium, it happens to every nation, volumetrics , skill issues, cherry picking…etc i know it…
Funny how one can say this but really doesn’t know it. I get it , you are like the rest of the russian biased believer , you want me to support you with your russian biased thing. I am not gonna sugarcoat it , go ahead , go back to your horde and cope with them. Don’t have to twist your and other words to make yourself look right. You suck *ss at being manipulative. It is funny to see a wall of text from you when it can be summed up in one sentence.

Great, now wonder how many Chinese people couldn’t care less about stuff here, or how many western people couldn’t care less about BiliBili.
This is an English-speaking part of the forum, so you’ll have loads of western people included.
If you claim frequency isn’t the same, please post tangible evidence. Until then someone else might claim Italian vehicles will have these bugs happen to them the most, and his claim would have the same importance as yours. You get that, right ?
But it actually happens to every nation and volumetric armor is a large part of it.
Your every bias argument got shut down and now you started to cope with: “B-b-but it happens more often on USSR vehicles”, all the while giving absolutely zero evidence for that.
