Means nothing because war thunder isn’t balanced on date of introduction. Coincidentally their modern tanks are also on par or worse than older nato designs.
If date did matter, I’m sure you’d hate to see the T-64 only a bit above the Leopard 1 because it’s only a few years newer.
that wasn’t my point at all, what’s your first language?
what is your point
that WT is a power fantasy for Russians and RU fanboys
even a non-biased WT would need to use 2000 NATO against 2025 Russia, that’s common sense
yeah it is, especially regarding helicopters, light tanks, CAS and SAM (until 3 months ago)
that and also game mechanics, when realism is prioritized vs ignored, etc etc
there isnt russian bias except kh-38mt but thats kinda rare now also ig everyone except a few just got bored
I know I made stupid posts in 2023, but those posts responding to you are far… far worse than my absolutely awful behavior.
At least I’m actively working to prevent those bad habits from returning cause I hate upsetting others.
Ron, keep on keeping on. I love your perspectives.
Kh38 is in almost every game except dense urban maps. That’s expected for a weapon this easy and satisfying to use, especially when the new AA like IRIS-T still can’t intercept it reliably.
Maybe you don’t notice it because Russia is on your team more often for whatever reason.
can you point out examples
Helicopters : Vikhrs are much faster and reliable than hellfires and FnF, they don’t require a perfect IRST lock the entire time, they can kill helis at 10km, they don’t lock onto wrecks 20m away
Light tanks : 2s38 is a stronger otomatic at a lower BR, bmp2m missiles are extremely effective, 2s25m is a beast, bmd4m lets you kill new AA across the map
CAS : Kh38
SAM : Pantsir for 2 years without an equivalent
Realism : magical LDIRCM for the Russians, Vikhrs flying perfectly straight when they wobble 15m in every direction in real life, Russian stabilizers are flawless even above 10kph, NATO IRCM and IRCCM do not work, AIM-9X can’t track a rear aspect jet…
just to name a few
your missing that AH6M and AH1Z should have LDIRCM but US helis cant get a magical missile shield (they also should have added it for AH64E on dev and there is some evidence for AH64D)
yeah i mean they asked for some examples, i’m not gonna write a wall of text especially when i know that they’ll pick out 2 words and ignore everything else like they always do
10 km is of course good, but you’ve already been dead for a minute, since you were shot down by an air defense missile system, because you’re constantly in direct line of sight.
Other tanks had shells with radio fuses much earlier.
Tandem rockets
Before the first bullet 12.7
Then they nerf his missiles by 2 times, and then they nerf his radar, and now if you fire more than 0 bombs, the radar will crash.
Implemented
Considering that most maps are flat, neither Soviet nor NATO tanks have any problems with speed.
Welcome to the R-73 team
Woah an effective missile design is effective, who could’ve guessed.
Make a bug report then.
That doesn’t factor into anything, because Gaijin doesn’t model stabilizers accurately. Sherman stabs aren’t effective until 24kmh, but that doesn’t prove any bias.
Blatant lie. 9M irccm is the best IRCCM for any A2A missile we have right now.
Blatant lie.
Next you’ll be saying that China has unbelievably OP MBTs that aren’t artificially nerfed in any way or something.
and there you go even OP aster 30 can’t do anything about kh38
yet another top tier SAM that is barely an inconvenience to the protagonists
yawn
(lol trying to bury the video)
don’t you think other nations have things they were or are strong with too tho, its not that I think you’re wrong with what you call strong, its that I think you hyper focus on rank 7-8 in this assessment and that other nations shine too
has if top tier is the only problem yak9,russian blunt nose shells which are better against angles than apfsds
top tier gives the most holistic picture of the game mechanics
it’s also the most played part of the game and it’s where bias is strongest
a tiger 2 getting 3 kills solely because of its armor is not as bad of a problem as a single jet getting 6 free kills every 3 minutes risk-free
yeah this thing is annoying af in grb rn and overpowered but its hardly the only time a vehicle has been overpowered in cas
this doesnt make it OP, the shells are still balanced in terms of WT
? If russia is only OP at top tier they are only OP at top tier, it wouldn’t reflect the rest of the tree.
