Russian Bias in 2026?

80% of the playerbase is playing russia?
Then why are there barely any russia V russia matches?

Where’d you pull that number from son.

TEC has always been extremely biased in his videos mate, not a clue why you would listen to what CCs over actually going and playing the vehicles themselves as well.
Like JustinPlays rags on the challangers but in almost every video he uses one he does substantially better than he does with any other vehicles.

The fact is you can google once that " Warthunder is TEC biased against russia" and there are hundreds of posts between reddit and these very forums about it lol.

here’s the first thing which pops up.

The pantsir SVSM isn’t as good as the IRIS - T at taking down fixed wing cas, at all, but it’s better at keeping munitions at bay and helis down.

It was released on April first, and included a quote such as “[American spaa aren’t good, and they are giving us bad ones] instead of what we should have, the Patriot missile system.”

The XM-1 has top tier mobility at 9.3
The 120S has a top tier turret at 10.3
Sure the Arena has near top tier firepower, but it sucks in every other way, especially mobility.

Are you trying to say that China of all nations has bias towards it?

This implies that a top tier dart and situational APS is the only thing you need in order to dominate.

Not the only things, but it sure as hell contributes to it. I mean, firepower + armor, what else do you need.

So NATO players good, USSR players bad.
Seems like a well thought out argument with plenty of evidence behind it.

And yet it doesn’t seem to bother defenders of Russia here when it comes to say US and German mains have bad winrates because “they’re just bad, terrible”, does it ?

How hypocritical.

Yes.
In order to understand the meta, you need to understand the game.
I doubt anyone with ~0.7 K/S understands the game enough.

No. You’re taking every russian players throughout the BRs, which is completely stupid and irrelevant btw. The only thing that counts is which nation the majority of players choose to play. Which is Russia.

Again, the market is always right. They know better than you and I. And they choose Russia. You don’t know everything man. I rather trust millions of players than you.

This is so obviously an april fools joke video

This is not.

Just ask him yourself in his next stream, and record his response lmao.

You realise TEC is the same CC who made videos related to fake leak lists ?
he’s not really to be trusted wether you believe this is an april fools joke or not xD

As you can see by sads reaction people take it as gospel , and literally will believe him saying that USA doesn’t have stuff from the modern eras in it’s tree.

How do you get that statisic of 80 percent of people are queuing as russia? xD the games would never pop.

They play it cause the CAS is meta nto the MBTs.
When USA was dominant in CAS they played that
Same with france hence why the hammers got spammed.

I tend to see USA + Germany together steamroll.
every time I’ve been paired with russia today I’ve lost, which is quite a lot.

The chieftains didn’t get “upped in BR for no reason” they were performing extremely well for their BRs, and had engine buffs, the Chieftain mk10 was inevitebly going to end at 9.3 due to how well it was perfoming.
Again + the engine buff.
the 900 well it was slamming at it’s BR as well

He’s renowned for making “controversial” videos to farm clicks lol.

just gonna ignore the 10.3 mobility, terrible gun depression, reload etc?

The arena isn’t OP at all mate, it’s one of the few tanks which is balanced, if it was 10.7 it would be under BR’d.

Yes they do this with almost every damn tree mate lol, not just russia.
The puma released at 8.3, 8.3! the same BR as the warrior.

What nato vehicle is actually bad bar the Arietes.
they are objectively, while i enjoy them. Bad.

The dudes trying to claim one of the best top tier MBTs is terrible. claiming that they don’t have equipment from past the 90s when teh sep V2 is from 2008

For free, sure.

Otherwise, I won’t participate in the financial good-health of a company instauring a bias on purpose, unbalancing the game of others.

No.

80% of the player base playing tiers 7-8-9 GRB currently queue for Russia.

The European Canadian

here’s the first thing which pops up.

No.

He has always been neutral in his videos. I don’t need Reddit or this forum’s opinion about it (considering it is populated by people like yourself, defending Russia blindly) to understand that.

If you’re not ok with TEC, go check Ryanberry’s videos. 10k hours, he has a pretty clear thought about russian bias (plot twist : it exists according to him). Go check JustinPlays. OddBawZ. Spook. Even Phly did mention “We (NATO) just don’t have the tools (against the bias)” in his Ajax video. Hell, even Jon seems to have a clue about the bias. Someday, I asked him about the bias during a stream, he said it depends of the situation but kinda hesitated to admit it.

The pantsir SVSM isn’t as good as the IRIS - T at taking down fixed wing cas, at all, but it’s better at keeping munitions at bay and helis down.

Wtf is that comparaison ? Those are 2 different SPAAs, one is SACLOS and one is not. They don’t have the same purpose.

You should compare the SVSM and Pantsir 1 to the Ito or ADATS for example (which get absolutely dominated in terms of comparaison).

It was released on April first, and included a quote such as “[American spaa aren’t good, and they are giving us bad ones] instead of what we should have, the Patriot missile system.”

First, it’s true. Second, just ask him yourself lol. It is not april fools.

The XM-1 has top tier mobility at 9.3
The 120S has a top tier turret at 10.3

Ok so Arena IS a russian bias at top tier then ? Interesting.

Sure the Arena has near top tier firepower, but it sucks in every other way, especially mobility.

Plot twist : in a BALANCED game, Russia is NOT supposed to have the same mobility as NATO MBTs, duh. They already have firepower and armor.

So no, it doesn’t need good mobility to be considered top tier compatible. It is just a 11.0 MBT with top tier capabilities, and that’s it.

Are you trying to say that China of all nations has bias towards it?

No, I’m trying to say Russia struggles against China only.

Because Russia+China+eastern vehicles in general have the bias in this game.

You write too much, I already told you. Won’t read that, sorry. Can’t waste hours on the forum today.

Seeing how it isn’t performing that great I’d say that isn’t a really spectacular combo.

You mean how at 12.7 US has comparable WRs to RU and Germany is lagging behind because 2A7V and SLM are the two only things it has to offer ?

How is that irrelevant if I’m literally proving to you that average WT player is far from being good at the game ?

Meanwhile you’re trusting your 100-200 games over hundreds of thousands played by millions of said players.

Having a hate boner towards top tier China just tells me you have very limited understanding of the game.

there is no biass in game huh? gaijin ad helis with dircm and 14 km range ir missiles this helis is immune to new spaas what gaijin do? ad for ruussia other spaa with saclos mode to shot down this helis but other nations again suffer no problem… selective “balanc”

and reload, with a 600 pen round at 10.3 it’s only drawback is the mobility which can be worked around.

hmm lets see

  • mobility
  • reload
  • survivability
  • gun depression

shall I continue? the arena is not it mate.

All players of only the big 3 are usually terrible it’s the curse of playing nations which are more handheld.

The majority moves around when 2A7 dropped most the player base was in germany, for a long ass time.
same as wehn the 2A7H dropped lol, then when it came to the rafale well france saw a huge rise in numbers too.

You trust millions of players conviently now but when it comes to statistically showing you russian winrates aren’t that good, nor are their tanks / vehicles bar very select few.
Then it’s sufficient to go nah the stats are rigged? make your mind up.

again then why are there no games with russia V russia aka russia fighting russia the fact is 80 percent of the Player base is in fact not playing russia, that’s a timer graph for the exact moment it does not in fact represent the entire player base of warthunder.

Cause I can tell you for a fact when I queue as italy at top teir for a match there are more than 2 people in teh damn queue xD

or germany for example for me it shows 10 - 17 , USA 20 odds, RU about the same as that little over, britain, japan and china it shows up at 5 or 6 odds sometimes higher.

he quite literally posted videos about fake leak lists he has consistently over the past 4 or 5 updates conviently shifted to pointing to russian bias, distinctly remember his fit about the reload buff to the T series being one of said videos.

Ryanberry is a nugget man xD most CCs are they spout nonsense to get engagements.

He has 10k hours, alright cool I’ve just under half that and would disagree with him.

There’s literally pages of evidence which disagree with it as well xD

  • oddbawz has literally for years been against russian bias and as most of us here has complained about poor game mechanic implementations like volumetric best example is when he took out the sargeant york and was blasting T series tanks through the roof and lauhging his ass off saying it was due to the volumetric which made it a super tank killed.

Ah yes the mighty justin plays who consistently ODLs in his games , which I’ve played with him once and against him twice and he’s been bottom of the board in 2 of those games.
I’ve also played with tankenstein who was laughing his butt of at me using a khalid at top tier.

Which is funny as the ajax is literally one of the best 10.3 IFVs in the game, one of the few armoured enough to go toe to toe with most autocannon lights and come out on top.

He hesitated to admit it cause he knows that if he says “russian bias” then he cannot objectively complain about any other nation which also gets favourable vehicles placed in the tree lol.

You stated and I quote
“Bottom line, Russia has just the best SPAAs compared to NATO ?”

Which they don’t as it’s completely situational, the BUK is terrible compared to the likes of the IRIS- T claws, etc etc.

The ITO used to be not far behind the pantsir BTW in KD.
The new pantsir wasn’t necessary at all to be added but it’s not some hyper OP match ender like you’re harping on about.

You mean how at 12.7 US has comparable WRs to RU and Germany is lagging behind because 2A7V and SLM are the two only things it has to offer ?

No, I mean how Germany + the US underperform at 10.7.

How is that irrelevant if I’m literally proving to you that average WT player is far from being good at the game ?

You’re taking the overall kd, which is the low and mid tiers players and the top tiers players.

Low and mid tiers players will most likely never play top tier because of the grind. Low/mid tiers and top tiers players are 2 different playerbases. Top tier players are most likely more competent.

It also takes in consideration the bad winrates because of the russian bias throughout the BRs, the bad winrates of the players who just want to play the lore (with bad vehicles, definitely not the META at least)/helirushers (massive deaths for them every game)/players who don’t sweat and just want to have fun

I don’t know where you’re going with this. You’re so fed up with that global stats argument, that you’re kinda becoming crazy because of it rn ngl.

Meanwhile you’re trusting your 100-200 games over hundreds of thousands played by millions of said players.

What’s the like between the 2 arguments lmao ?

Your opinion is your opinion only (= 1 solely opinion), my games are hundreds of them, at least. My games represent stats more than your solo opinion lol.

Having a hate boner towards top tier China just tells me you have very limited understanding of the game.

Big cope right there.

You’re seriously unable to read aren’t you lol.

You are either a top tier ragebaiter here to just agitate people ,or genuinely cannot read.

IF you believe what I have written is a lot then you seriously and I mean seriously need to go out and educate yourself, what I’ve written is very, very little.

It just shows that when it comes to someone who can actually debate your points with facts you choose to say

Im not going to read that “it’s too much”

when the truth is it’s because you literally cannot argue the points.

Exactly.

Selective realism, selective balance.

We’re still waiting for the AH-64 capability to multi target and launch all its FnF missiles at the same time. We’re still waiting for the bushmaster to get its burst fire mode. We’re still waiting for better NATO DARTS and 140mm cannons capable of pening russian UFPs.

And so much more. But it won’t happen, because the balance has to go only 1 way (advantaging Russia).

Man I tell you you write too much, you write an even longer response lmao.

Dude he quite literally doesn’t read what you say.
When you get to the point when he cannot argue the point he’ll just say “not going to read that”.

also if you notice, the screenshot he shared which has his account name in it, shows a different name from his account here and when you search for the sad acc on WT it shows up that means either he’s using another persons screenshot or has more than one account.-

I did and my calculations came up with 66,6%, so again either you pulled the numbers out of your rear or you are seriously bad at math.

Neither of those options, or both combined, wouldn’t suprise me.

You can repeat yourself all you want, but that doesn’t change that I farm T-series on average.

It absolutely is. All the points he made are the BS points that online US mains like to make and whine about, he just took those stupidly wrong points and made a joke video about them.

Go through the points he made in the video and those are things that US mains have whined about to the fricking letter. And those are also the points the US mains usually get clowned on for.

Like I said, your confirmation bias is through the roof. You think the video is not a joke because you want it to be not a joke.

Average NATO and Russian players are both bad. Russian top tier MBTs are easier for less skilled players to do well in and the less skilled players on the nato side, like yourself, can’t properly use the massive mobility and reload advantages that NATO vehicles have (or they can’t use them yet).
