Russian Bias in 2026?

Oplot’s gun elevation is speed so trash it makes me puke at top tier, not to mention ıts armor worse than T-80U somehow.

Despite having better reload I’ll stick with VT-4A1/WZ-1001 in this case.

No it doesn’t, at all

Some of you need to check the definition of bias. It doesn’t mean Russia should stomp everything. It means they get favorable treatment.

Look at the ERA. The main user is Russia and they have the best one. Sure NATO might get lucky once in a blue moon with ERA, but Russia is consistently bs-ing shots. I realized that the truth is, they need this bias, otherwise NATO would lolpen their UFP.

We also have things like the Soyuz. What business does Russia have getting the most powerful battleship? Meanwhile they barely had any capital ships irl.

They always got the best SPAA with the best CAS, the Kh38 being the easiest and most consistent AGM. The Kh is so good i actually use it against multipathing jets in GRB during headons from 20km away.

They also have/had the most oppressive vehicles for the longest time. 2S38, BMP-2 and now BMP-T.

Turret baskets. Seems like only NATO is getting them. Will they add them to Russian MBTs? Probably, but they are taking their sweet time.

Overperforming autocannons. Funny how NATO ones with lower RoF have the same or worse accuracy than the Russian ones with almost triple the firerate.

I’m sure there are a lot more things to say, like the Abrams turret ring armor being 50mm with the bug report accepted 2 and half years ago. But sure, why would USA armor up the center of the Abrams where everyone is shooting during an engagement.

There are also things like Rafale, being a “gotcha” against the bias, but that’s merely a business decision, to make you buy premiums like the F-5 so you can grind for it. Otherwise there would be no point in grinding other nations if they would get stomped nonstop.

Which further proves my point above that Russia at 11.3 is completely dominant due to the BMPT.

As well as the top tier shinanigans with teh Lmurs and CAS.

Who would have thought…

I’m not one ot say russian Bias but man, the fk is going on xD

I mean it was pretty clear that that would happen. russia in February was at a fairly balanced 50.7% winrate in 12.7. Of course buffing one of the things that they were not super good in would result in a winrate increase when theres no nerfs for them, just for others and no additions for anyone else.

holy shit, nato toptier gsb is cooked. It was always pretty bad since the pantsir but 70% wr is crazy

I wonder why

This is HDR color temparature

Sweden, China, and Japan all have kinetic-reducing ERA as well.
ERA is not “Russian bias”.

Soyuz is among OP ships. The fact Gneisenau is 7.7 is deeply hilarious.
If it was Russian bias, Gneisenau wouldn’t be OP either.

SPAA is evidence of no Russian bias, bringing it up is admitting it doesn’t exist. A tool to take down oppressive vehicles can never be bias.
All tech trees have SPAA capable of dealing with fixed wing CAS.
And 6 - 7 tech trees have OP helicopters.
Japan has the same Kh-38s as well.

BMP-2M? lol
2S38 was oppressive for the first week before it was increased in BR, then it was stock grind food.
BMPT is the Puma situation.
If it happens in other tech trees, it’s not bias.

Internal modules came to Soviets first, not NATO. Once again, other tech trees; and USSR got nerfed first anyway.

Overperforming? Do you have evidence that ROF is incorrect [overperforming]? If so, go make a historical report.

Abrams is still the 2nd best MBT in the game despite its issues… bringing it up isn’t a gotcha.

F-4J/S has an over-performing radar in-game, yet it hasn’t been fixed since the introduction of HMS.
It’s not American bias, it’s just a situation.

I’m not gonna bother arguing with you. You already twisted my words. But nice 6 7 joke tho.

(edit for the “offtopic” flag) You misinterpreted my comment about ERA. Your SPAA comment does not have anything to do with what i said. Misinterpreted the turret basket comment. Autocannon reply is entirely different from what i said. Cheers.

@REO_Speedwagon
My post didn’t make any claims of what you said, it only refuted your post.
And your last sentence makes no sense. What is a “6 7 joke”?

Soooo adding the best atgm and correctly adding the LMUR while not doing anything to hellfires/jagms and not giving a counter part to it for any nation is not favorable towards russia? ← this is a retorical question since I know you are defending the bias which means

stop acting daft… we talk about overperfoming strop picking words…

haha no. only 1 and none have the means to couner the mi28

yes the accuracy of its gun vs brads with less fire rate… again you are blind.

noww i see you really are just a player who speak loudly because all you can do being blind and nothing else…

@Fat_Fury
There you go blindly defending Russian vehicles again.

AH-64E is equivalent to Mi-28NM. This is not my take, this is reality.
You can praise and defend Mi-28NM all you want, but it will not change reality.

I’ve never once defended any bias because I don’t believe in bias to begin with. And yes, that would be believe as there’s no evidence.
All evidence showcases other nations.

NATO sources state the capabilities of Relikt and K5.
You are more than welcome to prove NATO wrong.

Accuracy in War Thunder in general is higher for vehicles than real-life, that includes NATO vehicles.
In-fact, one bug report that attempted to increase accuracy for a NATO vehicle, but the source provided proved that the in-game implementation was over-performing and was corrected.

As I said, if people have evidence of over-performing accuracy, that’s what the bug report site is for.

Every example provided of “Russian favoritism” involves other nations getting those vehicles/weapons.

Continued…

You know how many American bias topics there are on the English forum? None.

Despite American tanks being lower BRs than other tech tree’s counterparts.
Despite American aircraft being lower BRs than other tech trees’ counterparts.

USA had a round better than 3BM60: M829A1, and USA got M829A2 anyway.
USA has had OP CAS since 2022, and kept getting power-creep CAS until American CAS was finally countered in March & June 2025.
USSR had OP CAS since 2024, and got counters in March & June 2025.

USSR get’s a Puma moment, I demand it be moved up to at least 11.3 due to cross-analysis with IS-4M-KV-122, M4A3E2-M4A1, etc and people scream Russian bias when the answer was Gaijin lacked knowledge.

None of those are my takes, none of them. That’s just talking about the history of War Thunder.

Now my take? American bias doesn’t exist, Russian bias doesn’t exist.

War Thunder is 10,000+ moving parts and mistakes will occur.
Missing information will lead to errors.
And it is up to us to point out errors they miss.

Such as F-4J having a PD HDN search mode bug when its radar is supposed to be incapable of it.
Such as when BMPT is brought in at 10.3.
Such as when P51H5NA is 6.3 while Spitfire F Mk24 is 6.7.
Such as when Puma is brought in at 8.3
Such as when EBR is brought in at 4.3 [it’s now 7.0], when AMX-13 was 6.7 at the time.
And so forth.

Not any USA bias

Well well well, would you look at that?

Starting from 10.0 Russia has far the best Wr overall and some people still claiming they are suffering.

Lmao.

Nuh uh, Italy is better at 12.0 so that totally disproves a bias and actually means Gaijin is pampering NATO. /s
