Russian Bias in 2026?

So the entire thread got derailed into a dick measuring contest to see who’s the smallest. Nice.

10/10
very fun mud flinging competition.

I was just about to say the same thing…

funny because both dudes don’t even play the same gamemodes.

It’s probably both. No one complains about having to aim for Panthers, Tiger IIs, or IS-2s, yet everyone melts down about how they can’t lolpen their enemies.

However I do agree that Russian tanks often do have smaller weakspots, but that doesn’t make them OP because most of the time they have tradeoffs.

I don’t think that T-series tanks have smaller weakspots than what you find on Tiger IIs or Panthers, especially when you have to aim for them with much slower rounds and without a stabilizer.

Ive seen Russian t90s and similar cover their whole front side with bushes making it near impossible to hit their weak spots (smart but annoying).

guys stop comparing each other with stats (your late to the game and we are well past that).

Yes, france, one of the best top tier nations is dogwater, sure.

I am willing to bet a premium vehicle against that claim.

R77-1 tracking at ground level without multipathing, ignoring notching and chaffs while AIM 120 cannot hit SU 30 going STRAIGHT in 3km alt because it suddenly loose lock or track first chaff it sees… its performance anywhere under 500 meters i don’t need address…

You could call it late, I would call it early for the next round.

your not tuff -_-

I know I’m not, and that wasn’t the point. I just know that SadRIPer will try to act like they are a good player again. He is just a broken record like that.

So why beat around the bush and just get it over with.

Pay up then

Sure, as soon as you let your claim become reality.

Please lets not forget that Gaijin left one of their vehicles with this damage model for YEARS and they fixed it (idk if they fixed it tho, i guess they did) once ppl noticed and started doing videos about it.
This was when Ka50 - 52 spam Destroyed lobbies and everyone complained about it, and its been like that for VERY LONG, till new helis were added and etc.
The average op russian vehicle of the moment

I’d bet that this guy will barely be able to go positive in the 12.7 Russian vehicles lol.

No missile ignores multipathing.
And when notching, no missile ignores chaff. Once chaff disappears the missile can re-acquire a non-maneuvering target, but that’s about it.

All* helicopters.
The way they fixed it was updating the general helicopter flight model, which fixed all helicopters, and obviously impacted Kamovs a bit more.

If Russian bias exists, then by the same standards US bias and German bias exist too. These nations are treated much better by Gaijin, consistently have the most powerful and undertiered vehicles, and have bug reports addressed and actioned upon faster and more often.

It’s a self-reinforcing loop, originating from the extreme gap between the popularity of Big 3 nations and every other tech tree. The player population of the latter category spend more, perform worse in battles (leading to favourable balance adjustments), and have a much bigger control over community sentiment/pressure.

When you look at top tier, these nations almost always have the best vehicles. This is extremely obvious in the technology advancement update cycle: major nations get the newest and most advanced vehicles, whereas the equivalent vehicles of minor nations come months or years later. The opposite situation rarely occurs, and is the exception rather than the rule.
