Ah, I see.
Man it’s very sad what they’ve made of top tier grb
Every single time I play couple of games there, Russia always wins large majority of the games. It’s been like that for months, years
EDIT : and they don’t even make the effort to listen to their customers/investors. I mean, we western players did and still bring them some money, they should give us a little something no ?
First time I see a company spitting on the people bringing them money on purpose

I feel like if they got rid of the Kh-38MT then Russia wouldn’t be NEARLY as dominant as it is now.
I’ve played a lot of Russia, and quite a bit of Japan (as well as some US/GER), especially at top tier, and I don’t really have issues killing T-90Ms or BVMs (though the second is typically much tougher).
But going against MTs is just not fun.
I feel like if the Su-34 and Su-30SM/SM2 was limited to MLs, Groms (Groms are Kh-38 derivatives) and Kh-29s, then the game would be much easier and funner to play at top tier.
I don’t think MTs on the Su-25SM3 is a big issue though. since, well, it’s a Su-25, barely anyone plays it because of how slow it is.

No wonder why bro keeps losing games because he weren’t even playing the game as he was video calling the afterlife.

What you described alongside a big nerf/fix to LDIRCM in general would go a long way to make top tier more enjoyable.

True, I forgot about LDIRCM.
If it were up to me I’d also nerf FNF heli missiles as well, (Not JUST the LMUR).
The amount of times I’ve played top tier ground sim only to get touched right after spawning, and be unable to spawn afterwards due to the sheer amount of FNF ammunition is… infuriating.

Also fix the FNF missile trajectories.
to my understanding only the LMUR is correct atm when it comes to flight pattern.

Anyway. On the topic of Russian bias, I’ve said it before and I feel like it’s the most fair take.
I find it hard to say if there is Russian bias in the game.
If there is, it’s most certainly ground focused.
Things like the BMPT were added at wayyyyyyyyy too low of a BR. It should be ~12.3 with APFSDS in my opinion.
But at the same time, Gaijin has had some horrible BR placements recently. (T-58, J-15T…) so it may have just been another one of their abysmal ideas.
I can only justify the SM-SV with the fact that technically, the Buk-M3 is one of the Lowest K/D AA’s in the game at top tier
However, Russia is certainly not Biased when it comes to air.
Things like the MiG-29 Flight model still haven’t been fixed, and the bandaid that was adding R-73 to the 9-13 and moving it to 13.0 is a joke.
It took nearly a year to fix the Flanker FM after constantly getting denied. Hell, the Gaijin staff refused to use the Su-27SK manual until it was explained that the J-11 IS a Su-27SK.
Back when the Su-27SM was added the R-77 was considered one of the worse Fox-3s (This was a long time ago, I know.), I’d have to look to find it but one of the mods said that “The R-77-1 will provide no significant change over the current R-77”.
The most biased thing when it comes to air are the MK2, but that’s an issue of BR compression. (Which we need fixed.) and maybe the dual racks on Flankers.
The SM2 is also insanely good, but I’d hesitate to call it broken when it’s the same BR as the Raf and AESA Typhoon (which would be better if the AMRAAM was fixed)

To everything I know the guns are incapable of firing APDSFS, and giving them it would just stoke the fire the more for some rather outspoken russian bias claimers. Also considering the BMPT’s performance in 12.7 lobbies, wouldn’t need it either

Pretty sure it’s the same gun as the BMP-2M, no?
I’ve used the BMPT-72 and BMP-2M a lot at top tier, the APFSDS definitely helps a lot.
While it’s technically the same gun and possible, Russia irl doesn’t make/use 30mm APDSFS, the BMP-2M only got it as another country used it and technical capability argument was made, same reason Su-30MKM has Kh-38MT’s despite them never coming along with the plane in irl sales.

BUK also looks out of place as the launcher unit is about 100 foot tall so they are exposed on 90% of the maps and you pretty much find the missile tip on every maps lol sneeze on that 1 inch exposed tip they goes boom. They should allowed those multi vehicle systems SAMs to move out of bounds, seeing these things sits in advance to the rhine makes my orange cat goes braindead.

I mean, to my understanding Malaysia never bought RVV-SD either, only RVV-AE. So it should be stuck with R-77s. :p

That’s true, BUK is taller & thicker than most other SAMs at top tier.
so the t series autoloader afther get penetration no spall protect crew and ammo but turret baskes have spalling this how works?

I might be biased since I’m mostly a ground player, but in a vacuum I’m fine with the SM-SV being added. However I’m against it in the current game enviroment mainly due to Russia having KH38MT and LDIRCM overperforming so much.
But like I said, I’m massively biased. I’m a ground player so the weaker CAS is or the stronger SPAA is overall, the more fun I get to have in GRB. I just wish stuff like the NASAM, Sky Sabre and Spyder etc would be fixed/buffed as well and a big nerf to LDIRCM should also greatly help the SLM get back up.

A normal phenomenon, I rather always have an option to play a nation that provides CAS free environment so I can enjoy playing tanks bro, I can also choose to only spawn when they are on the same team lol at least when I don’t want no cancer in my game I know I have somewhere to go to bro

Mig23MLD stomped the shit out of F4’s buddy.
It was so strong that Gaijin had to release F-14 with Phoenix missiles and even then MLD could easily beat Tomcat in 1vs1 once you passed Phoenix barrage (which was pretty easy back in then, still easy as well).

The balance between CAS and SPAA got completely out of hand for a while now.
MT was a mistake with the frogfoot, but it got more or less fixed when fox 3 arrived.
They shouldn’t have given it to other planes after that.
Instead they added some completely broken SPAA.
And them seeing through multiple meters of terrain and buildings and not emittimg radar signatures to the RWR for multiple seconds after spawning doesn’t make it better.
Then came the free SPAA which made it am even bigger shitshow. While you don’t get the top things, it’s still annoying as hell.
They should have given all the planes after the frogfoot some other missile with a thermal seeker. Something between KH29MT and KH38MT.
KH29 are not a top tier missile, since most of the planes don’t even get a thermal pod and the ML is laser guided and outside of spamming them into spawn to hit SPAA useless.

If gaijin would just add HARMs… I feel like that would be the perfect match.
