Russian Bias in 2025?

Never going to have a proper convo with a nafo shill that just makes up things in his mind and thinks about puccia 24/7 and has a personal crusade against them.

Ya bro gaijin is sneaking russian bias in via backend code.

Completely normal unhinged take lol

The 20+ Tiger 2s getting ammo racked from being front penned by my T26E5… Or was it M304 in general?
Dude’s dismissing their trauma. M304 is a cracked round.

And of course Russian bias has never existed and will never exist.

My only issues with your present post.

He should’ve mentioned F-18A, P51H5NA, F-15Cs when they had same weapons as F-15E, and the standard M1A1 being 0.7 BR below Leclerc despite being almost identical in overall performance at the minimum.

The T-64B was never one of the best tanks in game. M1 and Leopard 2K beat it by a landslide when they released at the same time.

What is this video even supposed to mean? I never contended that in good hands you can’t do well in an M1, its that the average player can’t utilize the advantages to anywhere near the same capacity to actually make them a useful team member.

Is it at all worth pointing out that over the entire video there are arguably less than four engagements where his opponent is even looking in his direction, let alone where they present the front of the hull to the threat , it is fairly obvious this guy at very least has extensive map knowledge, and happened to roll a team that game that supports his use of it that round.

let alone the fact that the marquee player here is obviously exceptionally skilled, and that we’re presented with “curated” gameplay of a selection of his better rounds.

Better shells improve the Skill Floor, which is far more important for the average player. And it’s not like improved penetration would matter all that much for the side or rear shots in the video. And it’s not like M833 is that significant an improvement over M774.

The 5 second reload is obviously useful all of one time where he gets pushed from two angles at once. The poor penetration similarly gets him killed that same game(and is it really fair to count kills post backup employment, or IFV/ SPAA against the kill total as that inflates things on their face and most if not all MBTs would be similarly capable in that regard).

Heh, your memory’s good.

Leopard 2AV7 wasn’t the solution for nothing, in my opinion a problem to be solved, T-80BVM does have its counterpart which is the Leopard 2A6, which the T-90M is the best counterparts to the Leopard 2A7V although losing in mobility and firepower, but armor is somewhat good for both sides.

HSTV-L is by far the best autocannon in-game, 2S38 is far back behind. If firerate is only the defying factor, Freccia and Type 87 RCV should be one of the best autocannons in-game then as they have far superior firerate and this is the only factor the 2S38 is better than HSTV-L; however mobility, armor, gun handling is all in HSTV-L.

I can’t say much about IRIS-T SLM when you compare it to Pantsir-S1, they’re definitely good vehicles but works differently. Ka-50 is the dumb player toy, Ka-52 isnt the Meta anymore, while you can find some vehicles in the Soviet tech tree that could easily surpass Ka-52 either in aspects, weapons and battle rating: Mi-28N.

I consider the Tiger HAD Block 2 better because it needs little engagement, if you want to actively engage targets, Z-10ME which is far superior than Ka-52 in this regard is your best option. DIRCM as I said as most people said, it’s a feature in-game, Gaijin didn’t make vehicles stronger on purpose but fixed this feature.

Sorry but the T18E2 is a premium.

If someone can’t utilize the advantages of the Abrams in any decent capacity then they have bigger problems in game lol.

Have you seen the quality of the average player? A good one will do ok in almost anything, but a bad one won’t even be able to conceptualize what they are doing doesn’t work with advantages of the vehicle.

I wouldn’t be surprised if APCR and GLATGMs were some of the most common rounds fired be some people simply due to big number best.

Careful now, if you defend German and American equipment that much people will claim your defense of them is in reality defending Russia rather than address your points on their merit.

Ammo and mobility are the biggest things in HSTVL’s favor. The mobility difference is like comparing M18 to Panther mobility I think.

Average player is totally can utilize the advantages of 10.7 abrams. At least most of them.

I’m definitely trying not to defend one side of the discussion. Although as I said earlier, this whole Russian bias discussion is fruitless when there are no data or concrete information to back it up, reason why I’m not active (consistently) in discussions like these when is mostly composed of rant, offensive replies and little good discussion.

I’m sorry, but I can’t take anything you say seriously after this.

This is a level of re-writing history to a degree that I rarely see.

Holy Skill Issue Batman.

What am I even reading?!

It’s ‘‘only’’ one of the strongest MBT’s relative to it’s BR in the entire game.

Asking for M833 and/or M900 for the best performing 10.7 MBT is silly.

Maybe you can’t, but the general playerbase does just fine with it.

It’s almost as if the M1 has absolutely incredible mobility.

Which is why the M1 Abrams is sitting on a higher K/D, higher K/M and higher winrate than both the T-80B and Leopard 2A4, right?

People (rightfully) bring up the M1 as the dominant vehicle of the 1.77 update, but the Leopard 2K was also ridiculous on release day.

What I meant is probably closer to the “Standard” player (Median) rather than the average (Mean).

Take as an exemplar the previously referenced “BPA_Jon”, he has an outsized impact as of writing on the baseline M1 (K/D; 4.50 , 1513/336) in comparison to the the T-80B(K/D; 2.78 , 994/358).

The element that would be most useful in the comparison would be a Cumulative distribution function. But Statshark doesn’t support said function yet.

And what I would posit is that the Abrams has longer tails vs the T-80B.

It’s not like it would be that much of an upgrade, the lack of armor, and erroneous internal modeling still lets it down. in comparison to where it should be.

Why don’t you check my stats for it then? a K/D of 1.748 (257/147) is at least better than average, no?

It’s not materially significant at best you are going to be a handful of vehicle lengths at most in front of it’s contemporaries, in a straight line for relevant distances, if it had it’s torque and gear ratios properly modeled you might have a point.

There is more to stats than just averages, see the prior response.

Suddenly it all makes complete sense:
