that’s because they crammed the BT-5’s 45mil aphe to it, since they share caliber, that aphe round would have never been shot out of it, not to mention Yak-9k’s inaccuracy in real life.
But in air battles? Yaks dominate, they will appear on 90% of battles you see USSR makin at least the 25% of the team, Let’s talk about france’s yak-3 too, France does have an undertiered prop, the M.B.157 and it show, but it also has the V.B.10s, incredible machines to fly, do you see them battle? No.
Because people just buy the undertiered premium yak-3 on France, and you can see it on statshark, 4.3 France has a winrate of 62%, granted the other option (F6F-5N) is overtiered as f#ck but even still yak-3 beats it in almost all A2A stadistics, EVEN BATTLES PLAYED, since when did a TT plane lose to a premium in terms of PLAYERS? A FREE PLANE VS A 1600 ge PLANE.
It’s not unexpected. Premium vehicles are commonly used to unlock other TT vehicles and the premium bonus means that there is insentive to come back and play it a lot.
So unless you want to cut all premium benefits from premium vehicles it will remain that way, however that would be borderline suicidal for Gaijin.
fair, maybe the french yak-3 argument doesn’t work, but still, yaks are so damn common, even when decent options are on the same BR.
Only exceptions are the yak-9s, they share BR with a Lavs but since they are foldered people skip them.
So Russia got 13 + 5 = 18 wins out of 24 games = 75% winrate for Russia.
I came to the conclusion Russia has in top tier the best CAS best MBTs best SPAAs best IFVs, so why even bother trying lol.
At this point you’re lowering your winrate on purpose if you choose to play NATO side
EDIT : last game I had (maybe it was the game before or the game before that one, I don’t remember), you had to be there to see how many CAS we had to face. Su-30s + mi28nms every 5 seconds. It was unbearable.
They should fix the top down trajectory of spikes/mmps/heli ir missiles + significantly increase the required sp to spawn a CAS + nerf BMPT armors, like ASAP
It appears to me those should be the top 3 priorities to balance NATO vs Russia.
Also, maybe make Russia face every nation including China, every game. Can’t be playing USA + France + Italy + Israel VS Germany + Russia + China + Sweeden, it’s a 100% loss for the US side at this point.
Now compare that to the win-rates of the other nations at those BRs and you’ll see that Russia has the highest win-rates at those BRs on average and only starts to fall behind in any meaningful percentage (2%+) at 12.3+, where other nations start to get their top tier options. Even then, the highest disparity is still only 3.5% (and the win rate for USSR is still >50%).
11.3 has Russia sitting over 11% above the next highest win-rate. 10.7 and 11.0 give Russia over 4% higher win-rate than the next highest. From 10.3 to 12.7, 9 of the 10 highest win-rate vehicles are all Russian. The only non-Russian tank in the top 10 is the 2A7HU, probably the best actual MBT in the game, and it’s still only in 10th place.
Anyone that plays 10.3+ is well aware of how imbalanced it is. The BMPT variants are extremely strong, especially in the average players hand, and invalidate a lot of tanks in those BR ranges. Hoping up to top tier to have a more reliable tank to fight off BMPTs just pushes you into a pit where you have to deal with LMUR and KH38 spam and now includes the new Pantsir, giving a MASSIVE benefit into swatting munitions down which is a huge advantage in winning battles. Sure the AH64E and Z10 are strong FNF helis as well, but the new Pantsir has no issues dealing with their munitions at worst or the helis directly at best.
I think the Russian Bias phrase gets thrown around a bit too much, but anyone playing at these BRs can easily see that balance is currently pretty heavily skewed towards one nation and the things that nation has gotten make little sense in comparison to what everyone else has. It’s not to say that other nations don’t get benefits at other BRs - tanks like the T58 and Turms3 are extremely strong relative to BR - but those tanks have a little over a quarter of the games played as the BMPT and they do have some more prominent weaknesses in comparison.
as someone already mentioned: these stats do not take in account that the allegdly “ok” winrate of other nations is a result of beeing paired with russia…
Do you have premium account? cause my issue is broken spaa and bmpt still annoying but overall i win a lot of games at 12.7 russia doesn’t do well at that br however it currently dominate anything at/less than 11.7 to 10.3
