Russian Bias in 2025?

There’s no easter bunny, no tooth fairy, and no Russian bias

I mean it does kinda exist in a way. USSR is the nation that often gets acces to new mechanics first most of the time (shit like spall liners). This tree also seems to get the most attention and occasional help from the devs. Good example would be ussr spaa problem, their spaas were kinda lacking and there was a lot of gaps. Devs addresed it by adding shit ton of spaas, including pantsir which replaced the problematic tunguska (which quickly got a buff anyways). Meanwhile trees like france, uk, usa, israel have big spaa gaps to this day. I can think of more examples but this yapping session needs to end someday. So to sum it up - it doesn’t have to mean bias, i think it gets better treatment cuz ussr is probably the most played tech tree but who knows.

I’m sorry, but what kind of SPAA has the US received recently?

There is no Soviet vehicle that performs better than every other nation.

Abrams and Leopard 2 are still better than every Soviet vehicle in the game.
The turret basket changed nothing in correct tactics.

Spall liners came to Germany, Sweden, etc at the same time.
And no, USSR almost never gets new mechanics first.
IR guided missiles came to NATO.

The Tunguska was heavily nerfed right when the Pantsir was added.

USA has also gotten SPAA, with the T-77, Skink, and the XM246. People also forget how bad Russias SPAA gap really was, because you went from the Shilka (8.0) to the Tunguska (top tier).

and was quickly fixed and made into the best spaa south of 11.7 so it doesnt matter

It took far too long. These SPAA USA got recently should have came with Sky Guardians when russia got theirs

You have to buy and play the shilka 3 times

3 DAMN TIMES AND IT GETS WORSE EACH TIME BECAUSE ITS A HIGHER BR

And the game then decides to give you the Strela which arguably is less useful because Iglas don’t lock the following:

  1. Helicopters
  2. Anything further than ~3km away (you might as well attempt to hit them with your peashooter guns… oh wait…)

They’re only useful if they’ve passed you and even then its up to the Missile if it wants to lock on (and hit) because they’re very easy to evade…

Can’t forget the fact that they decide to dive into the ground too. Forget shooting them in a closed space because they don’t even fly over or around obstacles.

Sounds like I’m the only one that’s been playing the Leopards and Abrams out of us two.

And this? You might as well remember the anti-aircraft gun based on the Sherman. :D
What you showed is not an anti-aircraft gun, but nonsense. Many reviews have already been made, it is more suitable for destroying tanks and infantry fighting vehicles than for planes and helicopters.

Sounds like whining

It’s literally a more armored Gepard at the same BR, and Gepard is a good AA in its own right

Only the Gepard has an armor-piercing belt and breaks the wings of planes with one burst, and with this one, no matter how much you shoot, you hit or it’s not clear where the bullets are flying. I didn’t like this anti-aircraft gun at all, it’s no better than the same M163.

Yes, Russia was given the OSU, China was given the TOR2, and the US was given a freak based on the Sherman, and there is no time for the Gepard.

What are you on about? It gets the same DM13 the Gepard gets, or are you seriously using the 40 Round APDS for AA? Cause I’m calling BS on that one

“Not a skill issue” This you??? Not trying to stat shame…but everyone needs to be able to have a honest and realistic self assessment of their skills and abilities and where they could improve…this goes for ANYONE…MYSELF included! I like Naval, the Alaska looks awesome…but I’m horrible at Naval! Could I be better if I played it more, yes I think so. I think you just need to put in more games and with more nations than just the US.

the tactic where you die once and leave XDDD
flank still work
hulldown still work
correct tactic work until you get shot
try not to get shot, too bad the kh knows where you are

Mobility still works.
Getting shot results in the same effects I encountered before the baskets.

The ONLY situation that would change anything is if both basket AND engine were shot at the same time with all 4 crew members still being alive, an extremely difficult shot for anyone to unintentionally cause.
