Russian Bias in 2026?

Pt 3 of Russian Bias in 2025

With the constant spaa vehicles being added to Russia, leaving the rest of the other countries and the BMPT, Russian tanks lacking turret baskets(and other countries), t90s and t80s having unrealistic side armor and more, its still not being solved.

The main reason that Russian vehicles are way overpowered is because they are good on paper and defiantly not irl and they probably overly exceed their power dramatically.

There has just been too much of late to pretend that there isnt at least some bias going on.

Su-30SM2 has been given clear strengths over other aircraft at the same BR for “reasons”, such as having a faster scan rate than ECRS, despite primary sources giving ECRS about 3x the scan rate of IBRIS and the recent FM buffs are questionable. Likewise I beleive the double R-77-1 racks are dubious at best

Not too mention KH-38MT not even being real by all accounts.

Soyuz is the best battleship by far

SKR-7 and AK-225 are some of, if not the best coastal boats

Which of course, the soviets were known for their navy…

BMPT has rendered an entire BR bracket unplayable to anyone in anything else. Soviet tree overall is very strong, with many vehicles with questionable BRs.

MI-28NM is probably the strongest heli at the moment, with the only properly modeled ATGM

All they need to do is add the T-14 in a vacuum and they would be the best in every single gamemode. Dreading what they have planned for Infantry.

I was thinking body armour that makes you immune to body shots. You know, have to aim for those micro weakspots

You guys ready for the next Russian bias?

You just have to ask yourself what tech trees competetiveness in the recent past and present is entirely reliant on

  1. Getting dubious/questionable additions
  2. Other tech trees being artificially weakened

and then you know why people believe in russian bias.

Have you considered that premium bias is the only real bias?

Is it tho? The TT BMPT is not worse than the premium one

In general I’m talking about, not just in the BMPT’s case

Sure theres a general bias towards premiums since no one buys a shitty premium (looking at you FFA P-16). But the existence of a premium bias doesnt invalidate the existence of a russian bias.

But there is no “Russian Bias”

This whole terminator facade is just down to it being highly popular (cash cow for gaijin) as well as laziness in modelling and balancing (ahem T58). Im willing to bet it will be nerfed or moved up by next month

Ask yourself these 2 questions, there absolutely is russian bias its just not used so russia gets to be the best ( in general) like some assume but its needed so russia can compete at top tier. The terminator is just the latest and most obvious story

Isn’t this called balancing?

Dont you mean in 2026?

It is but in a game with BRs that have the job of balancing, putting in fake stuff just to make one tree competetive is still bs towards everyone else (especially if you have a history of overtuning said stuff). I get that Gaijin doesnt want to deprive their biggest playerbase of a top tier tank but its still frustrating that everyone gets artificially held back or ru stuff gets artificially strenghtened just so garbage like the T80 and 90 can stay at the same BR as a 2A7V

Such as? (Yes I’m aware of the dubious nature of the KH-38MT)

Garbage how so? Just curious

Even then… If they really cared about premiums, why are all the Harriers so badly nerfed.

Thats 5? Premiums, spread across 3 trees

Challenger DS and Challenger 2 OES have many artificial nerfs. Im sure the same can be said for their equivalents.

etc etc
