Russian Bias in 2025?

Yes the Su-27SM is fine the Su-30 should not have been afforded the additional missiles
Su-35s Radar is the biggest issue being able to sit in the notch will be hard to play against.
Same issue with Typhoons Captor E AESA

A follow up:
It also looks like the 11.5 inch added wing length to each side [1 foot 11 inches total] is purely wing and the engine positions seem to have not changed:


Though it’d be better with schematics for more than an estimate.

Su-27 with 12 pylons

this is what i belive gaijin wnats the ingame 27SM to be but they were to lazy to add the extra pylons to the 3d model

so the made another frankenplane

all because gaijin couldnt be bothered with fixing the flightmodel and instead were making changes noone asked for

and then they probably gave the Su-30 the double pylons as well becasue the improvment over the Su-27SM wouldnt have been big enough to justify grinding it

we dont need a 15E manual for that

what you are talkin g about is a propsed f-15C upgrade

see it is a single seater

Except the Su-27s’ flight models were fixed.
That and Gaijin could have company documents they purchased.

Great joke

You don’t need any documents to see that it wrong

I’ve done that maneuver in that air show a number of times.
It’s hard to get on video cause I can only reliably do it in cockpit view cause 3rd person camera movement messes with me too much.

That video has nothing about disproving its current meta dogfight performance.

Replay?

you mean it falling out of the sky due to a lack of lift with it barely being able to point its nose around

then there are also occations where the post stall manouverable plane, the Su-30SM, just completly locks up in a post stall

then you should know that it is not achiveable like it should be

during a cobra the pilot only uses pitch and neither roll or yaw

the manouver is shown at airshows to demonstrate the the flankers dont loose lift asymetrically in a symmetric manouver, yet you start to wing stall asymetrically during a cobra in war thunder

My eyes rolled back in my skull so much that I could see my brain cells dying after reading this.

Look, I believe there is a slight Russian bias but nothing too crazy that the game is unplayable. The is-2 should probably be moved up to 6.7 on account of its tremendous firepower and armour. Also the pt-76-57 is a lil unfair with a stabiliser and laser rangefinder. However, all nations are superior at some point in the tech tree, for example Germany starts off really well but starts to struggle around 6.7 as US tanks become powerful.

CR2 lower plate absorbing DM-53…i swear people don’t play the same game

There is one Russian that works in archives and has access to documents regarding russian tanks, he said that above 6.7 (?) tanks are “buffed to appease patriotic fanboys”. This doesn’t mean that those tanks are necessary OP, just that they are better than they should.
There is also problem with a lot of russian shells because they perform better than IRL (57, 85, 122 and 152 for example), and some parts of certain tanks are smeared with butter (turret of T-44 for example really likes to bounce shots).

This doesn’t mean that other nations doesn’t have tanks that are OP, but for some reason they are concentraced in certain nation.

Few years ago there were datamines of hp of certain parts (engines IIRC), russian ones having more than the rest, GJ after this moved a lot of statistics from client side to servers.

After playing quite bit of all nations I can easily say russian tank overall are easier to play.

There are also other things I could say but I would be named few nasty worlds from players that ignore facts (I probably will be anyway) and this post would be hidden.

i dont think that the player statistics agree with you there

last months win rate stratistics

especially over mid tiers the win rate for russia is conistently worse or on par to the ones of the US and Germany

A lot of new players play Ger and Rus.
You can see how bad they are playing those BR’s.

I love when type 10 and leclerc autoloaders absorb shells despite being at the back of the turret

Not really, 5.7 - 6.7 are quite strong.

thats not how statistics work

why do you think it is a percentage as a value?

it is that way so that they are compareable

I may be wrong on this, I just stated how it is for me and people I know.
I do not understand 4.3 They have one of best tanks there, for me at least.
