In fact, the F18 on the UK technology tree is actually a facelift on the US technology tree, and even its position on the technology tree is the same
Wdym? I was told over and over by all the Brit mains the Brit tree was terrible.
Honestly has to be my 2nd favorite tech tree.
Early APDS that rocks, good mediums, decent heavies, light tanks can be hit or miss.
Conquerer Mk.2 is probably my favorite 7.7 heavy tank.

its better than the US one because it gets 2 BOL rails (but loses 30 internal countermeasures)
the swedish one gets 4 BOL rails and doesnt lose the internal countermeasures

honestly with bol being what it is you could argue it’s more of a side grade, but it should work decent if you bring it as chaff
Why did Gaijin give the worst F18 in the game to the United States? Although the United States is the country of origin of the F18, according to normal thinking, the aircraft from that country of origin should be the strongest
No? It is something of a trend for the country of origin to receive the weakest version in game. It was the same for the F-16A, F-15, MiG-29 (for a while), Su-27, etc.
Exports are generally done after the initial production of an aircraft, as such they generally feature improved characteristics, along with whatever addition the purchasing country requested to fill their operation needs from it.

Having almost reached top tier in both the US and Russian tech tree, I can’t agree. Certainly doesn’t feel like there’s much bias when you’re versing the Americans at 6.7-8.0BR, and at top tier I find myself struggling more against Leopards than any Russian tank. Not outright denying its existence, I just don’t see it.

Nobody thought this.

Depends if it will actually be able to take BOL with the mavericks, which it currently doesn’t seem able to do.
If it can’t do that it will just be worse than the US/Swiss one.
what tank you shot there? leo2pl?
Only the Australian one has the potential to use ASRAAM in the future
How many countermeasures on the swedish as it gives 600+ on the Aussie
There really is no Russian bias. What exists is a completely obsolete and absurd penetration and damage model, with mediocre programming that makes cases like those in these photos common in almost every game played. Or completely opposite cases occur, where impacts in areas where they shouldn’t do much damage, the bullet projecting the spalling in such a way that it can cause catastrophic damage in a completely artificial way.
The only Russian bias I’ve seen so far, and which is related to this nefarious damage model, would be when facing T-54-55 and T-62, where it is extremely common for the driver to absorb all the damage from the HEAT-FS, causing you to only kill the driver. Or in other cases, the spalling goes completely to the left to also kill the shooter, leaving the shooter and the cannon intact, when the normal thing would be to kill the driver, the shooter, and the commander, destroying the vehicle.
Another issue I’ve started to notice is that the T-64 and T-72 magazines don’t explode when hit by a bullet. This is odd, since they almost always detonate when hitting ammunition in all tanks (unless the game doesn’t want them to).
In short, the Russian bias is more of an incompetent developer.

Anyone moaning about T-series tanks now is pretty much parroting nonsense from 2020.
Uparmored Leopards are the meta for half a decade now.

‘’ Russian bias’’ its not like taking a russian tank and going spawn to spawn killing all enemy tanks…no there is not such thing (despite i have seen this happening with kv-1, kv-220 , object 279 squads especially before their BR upgrade) . What you described before with T-54-55, T-62, T-64, T-72 is indeed an aspect of russian bias but for your reasons (which i respect) you dont want to call it that way. Generally i dont see a big difference to our points.
Pretty sure it was just a Leo 2a4
If I was in anything other than a Russian tank that would’ve gone through though :)

This happens to all tanks, as for the ammo detonations irl, they arent 100% of the time either.
Look at this, both were direct hits to ammo.

Yes, I know that curiously there are certain Russian tanks in which these errors are more common, sometimes giving them a survivability point. But the main point is that this is a developer error, and to a greater or lesser extent it happens to all tanks, and it is something that should be corrected so that it doesn’t happen to anyone.
