Russian Bias in 2025?

the brs around kv1s, t34-85, is4m, t55s, obj279 and pretty much anything above that

kv1 is only funny in downtiers, the 34-85 is mid, t54/55´s can be good and obj279 is a obj279…
(in most br´s there is sth better in other techtree´s)

it’s fascinating how pakistani, indian and chinese players love russia in this game so much

I´m from europe btw(only bc I´m in this squad doesnt mean I´m from pakistan/muslim or anything…)

and arent the best kv1 the finnish one?(this thing should be moved up)

and i’ll provide a screenshot of it and you’ll say ‘but that’s only one time!!!’, you have to move the goalposts because you’re dishonest
btw it’s really 18 or 20 battles at this point, not that it matters. it could be 1000 in a row you couldn’t change your mind because you’d have to admit to yourself you’ve been getting carried this whole time

both can be true, and in fact both are likely to be true if one or the other is
again this speaks for itself which is why bias deniers ignored it

As I said, I regularly see only one player for the USSR, always on the losing side which is interesting. Must be that MM fixing you’re talking about lmao.

I only feel like I’m getting carried while using superior western designs at the same BR.

I simply don’t believe there to be some ulterior motive towards russia from gaijin’s end, however I do believe that there is a deep and subconscious ‘special treatment’ they get, and that is seen in virtually every controversial russian vehicle, weapon, br change or so on.
Addressing this is impossible since the problem originates from certain members of the bug reporting staff and development & vehicle research teams

It’s much harder to nerf russian vehicles with accurate sources than it is to buff them with inaccurate ones…

can you point out where you said that? you probably can’t since you’re either confused or hallucinating, but either way that sentence proves my point about the win rates being faked by inserting russian players on losing teams lol

i definitely agree, i just don’t see why you find it unfathomable that this bias in historical accuracy doesn’t extend to other areas of the game, especially those that are more behind-the-scenes like the damage model and the matchmaker. it’s all been a pattern for >10 years at this point

I guess you’re the type of a guy that needs /s at the end to understand pretty clear things.

Gaijin has bent historical accuracy for many nations, so using this as a proof of bias is hilarious.

nah the sarcasm didn’t come through, maybe it did in your head based on intonation - doesn’t change the fact that evidence can’t change your mind, which is what you were trying to deflect there. embarrassing

indeed, ignoring evidence for russia once and 10,000,000 times for US means it’s exactly the same thing (see? that’s how you write sarcasm)

this is true yes

Oh well, if that had been the case, gaijin wouldn’t have taken an entire year just to give the su27 the resemblance of a flight model.

And the Mig29 probably wouldn’t be as dogshit as it is currently

ok, but this isnt overpowered as I said, as it was never 100%, just doable on good angles, and it didnt make t-34-85 OP, it only matters if it upsets balance. That is what I am referring to

I think the hidden slope modifiers that suspiciously only applied to the Russian 85mm shells, combined with the APHE having a particularly potent effect (e.g. a big ball of doom that wipes out the interior) all conspired to make the 85mm REALLY egregious. Oh, and the drivers hatch that would eat shells and vanish them into nothing.

Not quite ‘whoops - this IS-6 turret has an extra 200mm of invisible armour on the front’ levels of OP. However, it’s left a long-lasting impression on players that Gaijin are not always as even-handed as their advocates claim…

In that time period, the R-27ER single handedly dominated any and all BVR engagements, also single handedly creating the multipathing meta of 2023-2024, i don’t want to hear it lmao

So those planes are not allowed to have a proper flight model?

This doesn’t really give the full picture… multipathing was so easy it made the meta focused on IR missiles… R27ER being the best SARH missile didn’t push it into a higher meta than any decent IR missile

And that meta IRCCM meta was gone for quite a few months before the flight model was fixed too.
