Russian Bias in 2025?

Then you’ll be waiting forever. I never claimed to be a content creator and I stated specifically that I am not a content creator.
If you want screenshots of Su-34, Rafale, F-15E, etc getting massive frag streaks I’ve posted those screenshots previously and can again.

I however will not be falsely accused of things I am not when I agree with EVERY SINGLE WT expert on this matter. I am in lock-step with them that CAS is OP.

And I will not allow people to push a narrative that CAS being OP is a niche bad take warranting of being ignored.

I apologize if my posts sound harsh to you, that isn’t my intention. You deserve kindness as everyone does.
I’ve amended my previous post to omit you.

Edit:
This is my maximum preset in USA right now and it’s not changing until both the 120S is acquired AND every vehicle is spaded. I also don’t spawn CAS because I don’t like wasting spawn points, that F-111F is almost never used.

I’m playing mostly Germany and Britain top BR ground, though I take breaks with Britain and play 9.3 to put research into Desert Warrior.

I also play air RB for new jets such as F-18A, as well as grinding China ground alongside Israel ground.
All while playing the game less than 3 hours a day.
So I’d appreciate kindness and I’ll do my best to stay kind to everyone.

No need to apologize Alvis but I am no content creator. It’s not very difficult to get a clip of gameplay. I was just wanting to see if you could do what you claimed was my only reasoning with my request. I just wished your claims were at least kind of backed up by what you speak of buy they simply aren’t. I’m not the kind of person to use stats for stuff like that and wouldn’t ever stat shame or attempt to do such thing like someone did to me already in here thinking that would actually matter.

A few examples for you are with the turret basket discussions and the US v Russia GRB issues with CAS. You claimed the turret baskets didn’t change how the Abrams or Leos played yet you haven’t played with any of the Abrams since update and you got a couple matches in your Leopard. You don’t even have any stats for US top tier GRB this year. You claim that you don’t spawn CAS much anymore because you are a team player and it hurts the team. Your stats told the exact opposite story. You dont do so well in the F15E versus ground targets and I wont show the stats on it you know exactly what I’m talking about.

This is a forum for War Thunder. There is zero reason to feel the need to be dishonest in what you talk about. Zero reason. With all that said I think you are a great player but also think you should stay in your lane a little more often. Hope that clarified and like you I’m not trying to sound harsh or angry towards you, just making it clear.

They are backed up by my experience as a CAS player, videos made by Cavenub and Hunter, cross-analysis of CAS vs SPAA, as well as the limited screenshots I have of frag streaks.

It’s okay to want more; just don’t demean people if they can’t or won’t learn the method you want to provide.
I’m an ADHD autistic man that focuses on what I like and gets distracted easily [the ADHD part].
I learned entirely how to play top CAS without dying, I did it for 2 years, and I deserve a break from playing, especially when it forbids me from having downtiers. I’ll revisit CAS as a main priority when new SPAA is added for me to learn something new.

I default to brutal honesty because that’s what the tism pushed me toward, and it takes effort to understand that people don’t like it when I post dry honesty. It would take FAR MORE effort to do more than that. So I am honest with empathy pushed in to make sure I do an okay to great job making sure people feel happy at the end of the conversation.

Stats can’t tell you if someone’s a team player at any given BR.

This is incorrect… granted I don’t know what you’re pulling from. Could be the new site that only has recent data, it could be replays that auto-delete.
Custom matches also don’t record stats.

Im sure this thread is very productive and logical…

Anyways, I play all nations, the USSR is one of my favorites, but I really see no Russian bias. There are a few specific things that are busted (arguably best CAS while also having the best AA at top tier, 2S38 is a menace) but the only broad instance of any “russian bias” is the performance of HVAP/APCR, and uncapped AP being worthless against sloped armor, guess who has most sloped armor? That does effect more than just Russia of course but they do benefit from it the most.

Something I can agree with you on. They dont even dictate if you are good or not unless you seen them play every game yourself. I’m speaking and using only games played when I refer to stats and what I’m discussing with you. But for Jan, Feb and March of this year you have under 20 games as US and nothing from the update to now. You played other nations top tier ground wise but not US which is why I even bring it up. It isn’t a lie and again I have zero reason to lie about anything regarding this game as I honestly dont see the point. I use StatShark because they are the only available option to see recent stats and periods of time stats and not just total overall stats. It’s pretty handy and has helped me get a better gauge how I’m doing after my stats were put to the side for so long. You should look into it it’s pretty handy to see personal growth in the game.

Update makes sense cause F-18A, and I got out of a ground event for FV4030 which I didn’t put many battles into either.
And for top BR, outside of M1A1 at 11.3, the gameplay loop for me is the same. Use terrain and buildings, mobility where possible, stay out of sight from CAS, attempt victory. Not exactly that simple, but that’s what my brain is telling me from the images of my tactics vs how to vocalize those tactics.

On top of all that, I’m trying to get these tech trees less red:

Spoiler




And all that is about 3 - 4 months of play at 2 hours a day of play… you know what I’m not doing 2 hours a day? Playing all 4 of those tech trees.
I’m balancing researching German top end, new planes, those 4 tech trees, getting back into naval all while playing less than 3 hours a day.

I got into using Statshark for a number of reasons.
IDK maybe my last memory is December, maybe it’s February, either way I’m also trying to go back and research new middle tanks for the Steam Achievement “Collector” before the next sale.

Then don’t bring a full load? I never do

RIP 2016 where the T-34 was broken

maybe we need to bring full load so there is enough ordinance in the air that it doesnt get intercepted

Tanks don’t render typically past 20 kms, so that’s not really a benefit to the KH.

Also aren’t agms bigger HE mass?

Why is that? Aim-120s are still superior to R-77-1s and R-77-1s are supposed to be better.

You have a faster plane too, more chaff and flares to stall radar lock etc.

thats for 3rd person
when you use the targeting pod or the aircraft sight the render distance increase depend on your sight magnification

65B has only 51kg
the Kh-38mt has 152kg
triple the HE

yeah, it supposed to be better than 120A/B but by the time 77-1 in service everyone running around with C-7 or D already.

@MrBombastic8

I did something similar on Poland last year though that one was hyper-aggressive.
And one of those frags was an R3 T20 for some reason.

Out of the multiple matches played so far, if I was shot I was dead, and the basket changed nothing.
I know what happens with an Abrams when it gets shot after fragging hundreds to thousands of them, and using them.
And my assessment that the basket only really changes one situation where no crew dies but the basket AND engine get knocked out… that’s still the truth.

Oh, and my stats will never show how many T-80Us, Abrams, Leclercs, and Leopard 2A5s I’ve fragged because hundreds of my frags against them were in assault arcade, an invaluable training tool that made me learn how to ammo rack Abrams and Leopard 2s, their best weak spots in practice, and so forth.
That knowledge easily translated to other tanks.

also mavs dont always over pressure because of how gaijin models shaped charges which is why people like the 65G (which actualy has slightly less explosive mass than the 65D)

Newest video from DollarPlays with KW-1 gameplay on 7:40 survived 2 big bomb hits only tracked…
Like come on some people blindly defend that there is a bias in this game… Im not talking that bias is all around but some tanks and (in some updates with new vehicles) one nation is in favor and it is obvious

So you’re complaining that there’s heavy tank bias now…
One nation only fielded heavy tanks? lol That’s a wild take.

Those bombs were 500 pound bombs (226.796kg). The KV-1 has thick armour so it definitely wouldn’tve done anything, but please cope more

Oh so it has more pen too? For the draw back in HE filler. Seems pretty balanced
