Russian Bias in 2025?

Obviously, and the Pantsir-S1 is more reliable than the ugly Canadian creature. I still want to know why keeping the tracker hanging in top of the radar, that’s why the battle rating difference, but one thing I’ve seen both share is the missile behaviour (speed and maneuverability).

bro what, gaslighting level 100 is absolutely insane

CAS is OP yes, its always has been, but which CAS is more OP than other? kh-38mt would be better than Agm-65b or brimstone

one minute for agm-65b, one minute require 20 gbu-39 and 6 agm-65b to keep pantsir busy
guess how much it is for the kh-38mt alone

nah its interesting seeing him trying to fellating me
i had already enclosed and secure any crevices that might lead him to me but the return of his kind shall be inevitable

@MrBombastic8
F-15E, Rafale, Mirage 2000D RMV, Su-30SM [literally the same suspended weapons load as Mirage 2000D RMV], and Su-34 are the OP CAS.
And Su-34 becomes null and void the moment SPYDER is added as it doesn’t have a thermal channel.
F-15E becomes almost as dead as Su-34 because F-15E relies on IR guided weapons, but it can still use the glide bomb trick against SPYDER as well.
So that leaves Mirage 2000D RMV, Rafale, and Su-30SM as the last bastions of “OP CAS” when SPYDER is added, and that’s if they switch to laser missiles instead of IR.

And no, it’s 15 - 30 seconds to launch the 20 GBU-39s AND AGM-65s depending on your skill and MBT placement.

Also go learn what gaslighting actually is: It is not making you feel equal to me, it is not treating your opinions with respect and validation, and most certainly it is not when people take responsibility for their mistakes and actions.

Me to you: Your opinions are valid, which is why I respect them.
You’re equal to myself and others no matter what anyone says.
I make countless typing mistakes, but that’s not relevant to this matter.
And most importantly you as a man are important, your perspectives are formed from knowledge and experience and are equally valid to my own.
Me having a different knowledge set does not invalidate your own conclusions based on the knowledge and experience you used to get there.

Also the fact that your post says “the return of sincere and honest NATO fans shall be inevitable” is outright disgusting.

No surprise that Alpharius mutes all NATO fans, there’s a reason they’re without a squadron.

How is saying CAS is OP contrarian to CAS is OP?
I’ll keep agreeing with the experts in the community regardless of your attacks on good takes.

Also the reason for the economy being reverted was because the Chinese, Russian, and English community blasted the forums for 3 days straight.
They reverted the economy changes hours prior to the beginning of the review bombing.

Finally someone who gets the whole picture between panstir and r77-1/r77 combined. The aim120 cannot utilize the range advantage if it does not have the altitude to do so

In ground combat, the AIM-120 is practically useless. Since I don’t have time to scan the sky and gain altitude, I’m either taken out by a Pantsir or a Su-30.

Still waiting on my f15e destroying Pansir clip I asked for dang it. But it didn’t look like he used it very much in GRB .

How is flying at 8000 meters in ground RB to be safe from SPAA not utilize its full range?

And I see @ARK_BOI is gaslighting by statshaming because I touch grass and play all 10 tech trees and all game modes.

I’ve called zero people on the forum Russian mains.
I and most of the WT community experts are in agreement on most things. From CAS being OP [including Su-34 and Su-30] to decompression being necessary in a number of areas.

I am not a content creator, nor do I want to become one.
It’s funny how you bail on wanting to 1v1 F-15E or Su-34 cause you know CAS is OP.

It’s funny how so many people get upset because I call their precious Su-30 OP to the point they mute me.
I can only imagine how many people they have muted for calling the Su-30 OP.

I never bailed on you and simply told you I dont have either vehicle. I never bailed on you as you claim so miss me with that nonsense. And again, I’m still waiting for that clip

Then you’ll be waiting forever. I never claimed to be a content creator and I stated specifically that I am not a content creator.
If you want screenshots of Su-34, Rafale, F-15E, etc getting massive frag streaks I’ve posted those screenshots previously and can again.

I however will not be falsely accused of things I am not when I agree with EVERY SINGLE WT expert on this matter. I am in lock-step with them that CAS is OP.

And I will not allow people to push a narrative that CAS being OP is a niche bad take warranting of being ignored.

I apologize if my posts sound harsh to you, that isn’t my intention. You deserve kindness as everyone does.
I’ve amended my previous post to omit you.

Edit:
This is my maximum preset in USA right now and it’s not changing until both the 120S is acquired AND every vehicle is spaded. I also don’t spawn CAS because I don’t like wasting spawn points, that F-111F is almost never used.

I’m playing mostly Germany and Britain top BR ground, though I take breaks with Britain and play 9.3 to put research into Desert Warrior.

I also play air RB for new jets such as F-18A, as well as grinding China ground alongside Israel ground.
All while playing the game less than 3 hours a day.
So I’d appreciate kindness and I’ll do my best to stay kind to everyone.

No need to apologize Alvis but I am no content creator. It’s not very difficult to get a clip of gameplay. I was just wanting to see if you could do what you claimed was my only reasoning with my request. I just wished your claims were at least kind of backed up by what you speak of buy they simply aren’t. I’m not the kind of person to use stats for stuff like that and wouldn’t ever stat shame or attempt to do such thing like someone did to me already in here thinking that would actually matter.

A few examples for you are with the turret basket discussions and the US v Russia GRB issues with CAS. You claimed the turret baskets didn’t change how the Abrams or Leos played yet you haven’t played with any of the Abrams since update and you got a couple matches in your Leopard. You don’t even have any stats for US top tier GRB this year. You claim that you don’t spawn CAS much anymore because you are a team player and it hurts the team. Your stats told the exact opposite story. You dont do so well in the F15E versus ground targets and I wont show the stats on it you know exactly what I’m talking about.

This is a forum for War Thunder. There is zero reason to feel the need to be dishonest in what you talk about. Zero reason. With all that said I think you are a great player but also think you should stay in your lane a little more often. Hope that clarified and like you I’m not trying to sound harsh or angry towards you, just making it clear.

They are backed up by my experience as a CAS player, videos made by Cavenub and Hunter, cross-analysis of CAS vs SPAA, as well as the limited screenshots I have of frag streaks.

It’s okay to want more; just don’t demean people if they can’t or won’t learn the method you want to provide.
I’m an ADHD autistic man that focuses on what I like and gets distracted easily [the ADHD part].
I learned entirely how to play top CAS without dying, I did it for 2 years, and I deserve a break from playing, especially when it forbids me from having downtiers. I’ll revisit CAS as a main priority when new SPAA is added for me to learn something new.

I default to brutal honesty because that’s what the tism pushed me toward, and it takes effort to understand that people don’t like it when I post dry honesty. It would take FAR MORE effort to do more than that. So I am honest with empathy pushed in to make sure I do an okay to great job making sure people feel happy at the end of the conversation.

Stats can’t tell you if someone’s a team player at any given BR.

This is incorrect… granted I don’t know what you’re pulling from. Could be the new site that only has recent data, it could be replays that auto-delete.
Custom matches also don’t record stats.

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:

Spoiler




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.
