The centauro II is goated so I’m not suprised Italy has a good winrate at 12.0.
(It might not be the best capabilities wise, but I have been spading the Centauro II and I haven’t had this much fun in a top tier ground vehicle in a while).
The most obvious april fools video in existence, I seriously don’t get how people keep falling for it (who am I kidding, I know exactly why people keep falling for it).
The biggest joke is that we will now have idiots that use this video as the holy grail for months to come.

this is one out of many bro
it’s like the only round bar DM53 long barrel and m829A2 actually consistently pen for me.
though I had what you’re talking about off of ones engine deck twice with my DCT10 round out the ztz96B
Mate the auto cannon as well xd can absolutely shred it, though not as bad as the merkava mk3s
it’s also BR for BR one of the best ground trees lol. reliable good tanks are found at every BR.
Mb fucked up the math on that initially. russia is only 34.7% of all games at 12.7 and only 40.4% of all games in 10.3+. So Gaijin better fire up some buffs otherwise well never hit the 50%

Still waiting for USSR to have as many vehicles under-BR’d as USA does so there’s some teeth behind the “Russian bias” argument, but right now they don’t even have 25% of the under-BR’d vehicles USA has.
I don’t believe that standard is bias, but it’s better than the following argument…
But no, almost everyone claims that “USSR having better players is Russian bias” [win rate citations], which USA had in 2019 & 2020.
Italy, Japan, France, and China had better players in late 2025.
In mid 2025, all but USSR and mid-ranks of Germany had better teams.
And in Early 2025 Germany, Japan, Italy, France, and Sweden had the best top end teams, with only Germany and Sweden having lower skill teams in the mid and low ranks.
Like, this data isn’t secret anymore.
Edit:
CL-13 incident.
I don’t know why people forget that occurred, when a group of people manipulated a vehicle’s statistics single-handedly.
yeah because they dont. They are by far the biggest playerbase, theres absolutely no reason to assume that the most played, most premium riddled tech tree would have the highest average skill level.
Its just a pure cope claim to excuse either blatantly broken, unrealistic additions to the russian tree or stuff like the Pantsir where as soon as one part of the russian tree is bad Gaijin will immediately react no matter if russia actually needs it or others could use a buff more.
Germany didnt have better teams, they were just the first to get actual, competitive SPAA against the CAS spam which held the winrate up until, oh wonder, just in the next major update russia, the US and China got something perfectly suited to fight that new SPAA.
Assuming that player skill is the big denominator in winrates when every swing correlates with a major update that introduces some form of powercreep is insanely stupid.

So Statshark is lying to us?
Popularity doesn’t mean anything other than popularity.
Especially since the premium BMPT is weaker than the tech tree one due to not having the triangle ERA containers to cause issues when server frequency vibrates the tank in a weird way.
Your entire post is indirectly claiming Statshark is wrong.
On top of that, if skilled players kept playing Soviets, Germany wouldn’t have a higher win rate in July 2025. Cause skilled players already know the meta to winning is MBT saturation with good positioning and better plays.
Holy shit please familiarize yourself with what an argumentum ad populum is before you use words that you dont understand. An argumentum ad populum would be saying “russia is strong, because they are the most popular tree”, which is not my argument. Looking at normal distribution its absolutely fair to assume that the most popular tree is highly likely not the one with the highest average skill and like i said there is no reason as to why specifically the russian tree would have a higher average skill level as the other major trees.
? Yeah thats why the BMPT 72 performs worse than the BMPT in every category?
? Statshark is numbers. Numbers arent wrong and im not claiming they are.
Ofc it would. Germany got the IRIS T in June and July was the first full month with it so the winrate would rise accordingly.
Quite hard to position your MBT well when youre nuked out of orbit by an AGM you cant do anything against.

where did he say it was an april fools joke??? many of the facts he was saying was true!
This is why win rate for popular vehicles means nothing other than skilled players playing them:
A chronically average F6F-5 has a 60% win rate with 2.57 matches per minute.
Su-25T sits at 60%, chronically average aircraft.
The most OP top end tank in the game: M1A1 HC Click Bait: 47% win rate. [Up from 42% a year ago.]
A2D is sitting at 58% despite BR for BR MB-328K being a better aircraft.
When Rafale showed 60% win rates, people stopped claiming French players were good and began claiming Rafale was OP, even after “other tech trees got equivalents”.
In a cross analysis, BMPT is more heavily armored than BMPT-72 due to issues with the game. Otherwise identical.
If there is a player disparity, that’d be down to skill differences between the playerbases of both vehicles.
It absolutely does not, i have no idea how you arrive at this absolute nonsense conclusion and i have even less of an idea how that would in any way shape or form prove the higher average skill level of ussr players.
People literally said both. Everyone is aware that minor nation players tend to be better precisely because of the connection between normal distribution and popularity.
So better armor and dont forget the 2 additional crew members the BMPT gets over the 72. And of course the tech tree BMPT has better players on average since the other is a premium everyone can buy. Both things can be true at the same time.

Sounds like a cop out for not being able to explain the gross bias in this game 🙄

He doesn’t say it because he made it obvious enough.
Seriously, most of the points are bs. If you asked an AI to summarize all the BS points that US mains like to complain about, it would be almost identical to the script of that video.
If you can’t hear that he is not serious in the video I don’t know what to even say.

Because it is pure Russian bias…1st big update of the year and Russia was the only to get anything worth a penny and guess what a new pantsir with a 1700ms missile and 40 of them. Its ridiculous how people can even defend against Russian bias. Considering i play against Russia 99% of the time in top tier

People point to specific vehicles and performance stats but I honestly think it’s Gaijin’s behavior vs other vehicles. People forget back in 2014, Gaijin had it where the bounce angle required for near 100% bounce chances was the same angle as the UFP of the T-34-85. Making it where it could bounce shells it shouldn’t EVER be able to bounce relatively easily.
Gaijin’s artificial nerfing of NATO tanks via the turret drive which makes the T series tanks at times more survivable than the NATO tanks when NATO tanks were designed specifically for survivability. We only got that glimpse with when we saw the initial M1 Abrams and how it dominated and Gaijin literally tried to do everything possible to nerf it and to this day. You can hit an empty box for carrying .50 cal ammo and White Monsters and gaijin considers it part of the turret drive.
There’s also this thread in which a tech mod basically clams up showing that there is a piece of armor that’s not being represented on the Abrams after a long discussion. Upon which an actual photo was shown. Yet again, the Abrams just gets nerfed and Nerfed and nerfed again.
None of this has been added.
The KH-38MT we didn’t even believe it existed, and there was a huge argument over that. For Gaijin, their source was a picture of a plastic Mockup and a picture of the brochure which is where they got the stats. We don’t even know if the missile was fired or not.
The Mig-19 vs the F-100D was heavily biased towards the Mig-19. The only time the U.S. crept back was with the F-4C. But it wasn’t complete domination. But that quickly went to the wayside as the Mig-21Bis came out and was accelerating doubly as fast as it should IRL. And even today it’s still around 20% faster than it should.
Then the Mig-23 overperformed massively for years, until literally the end of last year being fixed.
People will say the “f-14 dominated” Which it was arguably the best jet for a short time. The Phoenix’s were there before people knew how to notch but the Mig-23 could still contend. and then quickly balanced out again with the F-16A and Mig-29.
Anytime I find russia is behind, they’re only lagging slightly. Anytime the U.S. seems to be behind. They’re getting clubbed to death.

It’s convenient that you leave out parts of history, like how the F-4E was pretty dominant for about 7 months before the MiG-21Bis release.
The F-16A vs MiG-29 was clearly not very balanced since they had to add R-27ER about a week after release, even then the F-16A was just better in most other areas, F-15C was pretty dominant too, F-15E release was also something else.
And to top it all off, US absolutely dominated top tier ground for a whole year from march 2017 until march 2018. I don’t think there has ever been such a long period of absolute dominance again on the ground.
