Russian Bias in 2026?

Oh well then its good that January is higher as well

I think you shouldn’t focus too much on the armor, but rather on the basket, the air, the BUGs, the obviously biased damage model of Russian vehicles, and so on. These are the most obvious manifestations of Russian bias

holy moly bro you must really have some traumatic problem with Russian bias to still be so angry.
As I said before the things you are saying are absolutely countered by the fact that in your logic even half of the Chinese, the German and the Italian tree should have this “bias”.
U are saying OHH NOO RUZZIAN BOT SENT FROM THE KREMLINN!!111 just cuz they already proved you were wrong lol

Nope, it’s nominal.
Peak prior to CAS parity was 56.7% in July 2025.
Last month Japan was at 48.9% despite CAS parity.

Good CAS has only ever been a neutral to negative consideration for win rate due to the cost of it & the lack of ability to win with aircraft; everything comes down to relying on MBTs & good players in them.

Doesnt matter you still lied.

Is just not true, Japanese winrate rose in December and January after the addition of the SU30MKM.

Mhm CAS parity now lets think about something that affects CAS but where Japan doesnt have parity.

Plain and simply not true. Weve had many updates last year that either added massive CAS powercreep or SPAA powercreep without changing the tank lineups and all of those coincided with massive winrate swings.


Pre-new SAMs and LDIRCM helis


CAS absolutely has an impact on the winrates of a nation, this is when the new multi-vehicle SAMs were added if I’m not wrong.
Since Russia is so reliant on their CAS at top tier, this addition really hurt them while they were still struggling to deal with the new AAs


You can only see the Russian winrates boost in october, which was when helis received LDIRCM iirc


Addition of BMPTs

And then comes the pantsir

This is now:


Massive drop in Russian winrates compared to when SM-SV was added, showing only signs of decreasing further especially when considering the new additions next update.

From looking at this, you can clearly see how and why the winrates changed.

First screenshot shows before all of the winrates changed, as you can see it’s all pretty balanced, showing that Russian MBTs really weren’t insanely oppressive, even with Su-30SM and Kh-38MT other nations were able to deal with it.

First increase came from LDIRCM helis being added, with Russia being the one benefiting the most not due to LDIRCM being magically better on the Mi-28NM, not LMUR but instead the pantsir which could deal with them the best. Germany was the worst off at this point because everyone was relying too much on the IRIS-T.

The solution to solve the issue here is simple: nerf LDIRCM so it can’t act as a magical “fuck you” shield for IIR missiles as well as adding RCS to rotors so they can’t easily notch ARH SAMs.

Next boost was BMPTs which were obviously added a too low of a br, just like PUMA was in the past.
This is where shit started snowballing, people started getting majorly frustrated and didn’t want to fight the BMPT, so 1 death leaving became more common, lowering team quality, which lowered winrates.

Solution here is moving BMPT up to a good br where it doesn’t dominate (Done, it is good at 11.7) and then fixing the damage model regarding the turret ammo rack. (make it kill the tank or damage more parts and modules when hit)
Nerfing the spread next update is just the cherry on top.

Then comes SM-SV, which really killed people’s willingness to play the game at top tier.
Should never have been added, period.
Had the same effect on teams as BMPT, people don’t want to fight it, so they leave.
That, added to the effect of the BMPT really hit the nail in the coffin.

There’s really not much that can be done to balance it, but I hope the new CAS buffs we are receiving can reduce how strong it is

I can absolutely guarantee you that this kind of winrate boosting is not new to the game, it has happened with other nations, people are only reacting to it happening with Russia so much because it’s Russia.

Yeah that is exactly what im saying as well. Maybe Alvis will listen to you if not me.

Yeah, it is important to look closely at the stats and why they are the way they are, which people like @SadRIPer can’t do.

MITL is not being added to helis next update, all in all the Mi-28NM is getting nerfed which is good.
however, new helis?

I edited the post a good bit, see what you think now

I pretty much agree with all of it except for some small parts.

Id say the biggest thing for russia in that department was that Gaijin just added the LMUR as a 24k RP modification to a helicopter that has been in the game since 2021 while everyone else got a completely new 540k RP grind to get to the same level.

I agree that it happened with other nations as well but i think a lot of the frustration with the russia dominance is not just because its russia but mainly because the vehicles just shouldnt be as dominant as they are. Pretty much every problematic addition you mentioned has some at best highly doubtful quality to it that makes it incredibly good or is just straight up fantasy which will obviously anger people more than a vehicle just being good.

Oh shit, I completely forgot about that since I had to grind out the Mi-28NM fully still.

Fair enough yeah, LDIRCM, BMPT ammo rack and the completely unneeded SM-SV

I find that people also tend to over-exagerrate things when it comes to Russia, simply due to the belief in Russian bias

@CofCof I think I got some time now

I mean is it really a believe with the latest additions? Just look at the examples you gave yourself. The BMPTs ammo modeling, the MI28NMs LDIRCM coverage and LMUR quantity, the SU30SMs R77 quantity, the SM SVs 95Ya6M kinematics, the KH38MT, the whole basket saga. Its very hard to argue that there is not some obvious double standard going on.

There are also examples of these things in other nations too.
Which people conveniently ignore

There really arent any. The ammo modeling should be the same as on the Marder but its not.(the BMPT should also have a basket btw but alas it doesnt have one)
The MI28NM is the only heli with a LDIRCM coverage thats straight up physically impossible
Every single other vehicle like the Eurofighter needs total proof on what each pylon can carry, the MI28NM and SU30SM just dont.
There is not a single missile in game with even remotely the same ballistics coefficient as the 95Ya6M.
There is not a single weapon with the same lack of sources that the 38MT has.
Look at the reasoning for the behavior of the baskets and even more egregiously the upcoming floor on the challengers and tell me that not giving the autoloader carousel the same behavior is not a double standard.

If not Russia bias . Right thing : BMPT turret ammo boom can kill all tank; LMUR only 4 pieces; 95ya6m 's damage should be look like 770gTNT and maneuverability close to 95ya6

German mains are getting masskilled by LMUR volleys, while their 12.7 SPAA can counter Mi-28. Its hardcoded loss vs. Rus or China (Z-10).
