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:
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.
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
“this one time this thing happened in this video i watched of a youtuber so its all very biased” Cmon champ, at least try harder than that to prove a point
