Russian Bias in 2025?

More or less similar to my current view.

Premium M1s and Leopards perform very similar to their TT copy paste equivalents. Some even exceed them when it comes to K/D or K/S.

It’s all there on SS.

You’re more than welcome to refute the hundreds of NATO documents I’ve cited, as well as the dozens of vastly smarter people on some subjects I’ve cited.
One of the people I’ve cited include tripod2008.

So by all means, prove NATO and the hundreds of experts in the War Thunder playerbase wrong. I shall wait for you to disprove all of them.

I don’t have a ‘favourite’ tree, I play Japan, Israel, China, Russia, Germany, Britain and Italy all in a relatively equal capacity, and frequently post in topics surrounding all of these nations, not once have I shown a clear or prolonged preference of a certain tree

This whole helicopters being immune to IR weapons give me flashbacks from playing ~9.3, where IR slingers couldn’t even touch semi-decent helicopter players because of the abysmal lock range. I guess they want to create that at top tier as well.

I don’t think that’s quite the same.
By choosing a tank you’re most often totally helpless against all aircraft, especially higher up in BR.
By choosing SACLOS over IR/ARH you at least can target one type of aircraft.

Anyways, I don’t know how will this pan out, as slinging FnF missiles way past 10km gives you a lot of time to hide. This might be their return to glory.

They should definitely implement the blade return, as now it’s even easier to just break LoS from the AA and you’re good to go.

I’m also interested to see how well those helicopters would be able to defend from ARH missiles, as you wouldn’t be able to just break LoS from the AA to defeat it.

Well it does seem like it, question is why they didn’t choose to address the addition of LDIRCM in a roadmap/devblog in order to lay out how different nations would or could receive a viable LDIRCM or counter, but instead they are just shoving it into the top tier enviroment with little in the ways of justification or balance

Gaijin likes to shove things into the game and I suspect they’re aware they overdid the buffing of AAs and are now trying to find ways to deal with it, at least until they’re ready to push HARMs into the game.

Seeing the ~9.3 situation with IR SAMs and helicopters, I doubt we’ll be receiving proper counters anytime soon. If planes don’t outrange AAs or make them useless, then helicopters will. At least that’s what I think Gaijin likes to do.

Are missiles with the Contrast Lock-on mechanic still defeated?

Have no idea, not like missiles with contrast lock we have in the game can even get 10km+ locks anways.

Well, It’s not like an Imaging Seeker doesn’t use Contrast to perform it’s lock-on by dint of using an array.
I could see an argument being made for the modern seekers at least, even if it doesn’t extend the range but provides a counter to IRCM.

They could also make early IR SAMs capable of locking down helicopters consistently from more than 2.5km away but they didn’t. Just a heads up for anyone thinking helicopters will all of a sudden lose their IRCM benefit.

We’ll have to see how good those new FnF weapons will be, but as it seems right now, those helicopters will be really dangerous to all ground units, possibly even more than planes themselves.

Well Well Well
Guess what nation’s tank survived a bomb in 3 games each :)
I died to all 3 :D
The clip below is my friend’s POV, the 2nd clip did not save for some reason

Your friend survived because the bomb landed ON him.
I play a lot of CAS and can assure you, that can happen to all MBT’s when the bomb lands ON it. Thats why you aim a little bit next to it, which is why you died to it.

I only see bombs clearly touching the tank and others too far away, so no.

Again you can see the diference, the leopard in both cases had zero damage that could possible mean that game damage calculation never happened .
On ‘’ Nounejm_‘’ cases the russian tanks took an amount of damage but not leathal as they should, exactly like my cases…

We can go into a custom battle and i bomb you with gbu12 in every russian tank and i guarantee you i will kill you every time.
