Had that yesterday on tunisia, where two BMPT were sitting behind cover on the right top spawnarea and ripping over the whole map. While i was in my 120S (10.3 lineup) on the way to B.
RATATATATATATATATATATATATATA across the whole map.
War Thunder is so much fun latley…
Don’t worry, their sound teams has itchy hands they will mess with the sound every major update, even go as far as fixing the one that doesn’t need fixing by making it worse. So enjoy our soon to be gone RATATATTA while it lasts bro

I already got PTSD from this shit.
To all of you Russian bias non believers:
Are you sure this is the video you want to use?
Also, America is easily the best air tree if you aren’t just looking at 14.3/14.7, and are overall quite good in ground. They even have by far the most oppressive CAS (with a couple exceptions) below top tier.
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.
