Russian Bias in 2026?

There will always be a meta, that comes with having such a variety of unique vehicles.

It’s impossible for a game like WT to not have a meta., unless you make all vehicles in a BR range have exactly the same values.

I have fun with pretty much every nation I play except Russia. I mostly enjoy MBT gameplay so Russia just doesn’t offer me anything I enjoy.

Masochistic opinions dont count. /s

The problem with NERA is the exact composite array on the newer Abrams isn’t known, nor is it known the exact material composition. Gaijin’s penetration calculator isn’t perfect either. It uses a formula over historical values, which leads to inconsistencies. ERA is also a problem because Gaijin models it as a piece of breakable armor with no account for AoA. Hitting Relikt at a flat angle will still give the 250mm KE protection (even though hitting the plates at that angle would completely nullify the ERA’s explosive effect).

In other words, NATO ERAs are a piece of paper ingame

No you misconstrue my words. I never said it was paper, it’s just a problem with how ERA is modeled. With ARAT I’m not sure if there are even publicly available values for KE protection. When it had the 120mm KE protection when it was first implemented, I believe they either used K-5 or Relikt as the base model then plugged in the values. It was probably changed to the other NATO ERA models/formula once it got bug reported.

Funny enough I enjoy my T-90M and T-80UE-1 quite a lot.

Despite having abysmal vertical speed, bad gun depression and seeing full uptier most of the time T-80UE-1 is my best performing Russian tank so far.

I believe I got almost 2.5 K/D in that thing, shows how perfectly capable and strong tank despite its drawbacks.

Today so far :

9 12.7 GRB games played as France. All the losses are against Russia. 4 wins, among them 1 with Russia

=> 5+1 = 6 wins out of 9 games = 66.67% winrate for Russia.

And the wins for Russia… weren’t “hard wins”… no… very easy wins, almost always spawncamped in spawn 3 minutes after the game starts…

Never was able to get a nuke when facing Russia… I got a nuke at 12.7 while playing with Russia… with a VBCI 1…

It tells you how easy it is to play top tier as Russia…

not many, and even so, you just admitted that there is Russian Bias (BMPT).

Not too bad at all.

I have never denied that the BMPT was broken (I personally don’t struggle against them, but I can still see why and how it is broken).

The only gripe/problem I had with the whole Russian bias discussion has always been people overhyping Russian MBTs.

Discussions about Bias in general would be way better if people stopped acting like bias = overpowered when that is not necessarily true.

Must be the French bias.

Taken in consideration the fact I cannot have the nuke against top top tier Russia → no

It’s just that Russia was overdominant during this game (as during the large majority of other top top tier games), and thus the kills were very easy to get (the ennemy NATO team kinda gave up midgame, they knew they couldn’t do anything against Russia anyway)

Ah yes the Russian bias users number 1 got to “Skill issue” lol

Make sure not to forget to vote:

and keep this post of mine in mind when you do:

ok sorry dude but F4J mogs MiG-23MLD, or literally the entire USSR team.

I played both sides, F4J was literally easy mode when it comes to CAP, the HMS + Aim7f combo was deadly

Mig-23 faired better only in dogfight

edit : talking about the nuclear thunder gamemode here

F4J was easy mode in nuclear thunder due its allowed vehicles.

Us had F4E’s F-18’s, F-15’s, F-20’s and Tomcats on their side while Russia stuck with MLD’s, MiG-29’s with trash FM, of course USA was going to dominate from the get go.

I also played nuclear thunder event and MLD was still clapping any phantoms cheeks rather easily.

If Gaijin allowed to Russia side to use Su-27/33 your whole experience would’ve been quite different.

Anyway since nuclear thunder event doesnt represent the air rb it doesnt mean anything at all.
