Yep, same, There have always been edge-cases.
Pantsir, 2S38, T-80BVM, but never enough to absolutely make me question whether there was clear bias, but yeah, they are currently dominant in 3/5 vehicle types (Heli, coastal and bluewater). Very very strong in the 4th (air) Its kinda insane and even in the 5th (ground), they arent far behind, though have gotten some outrageously OP stuff of late in that category
Bro really went full conspiracy wappie mode lmao.
What is next? 5G is used for brainwashing, or are you going to come up with an actually unique and interesting conspiracy?
Or it’s just that you are suffering from confirmation bias. If you are actively looking for Russian bias you will look for things to confirm your believe.
All nations have fuel tanks.
All nations have HHA [lower spalling armor] vehicles.
These factors most certainly DO NOT benefit just one nation.
5G can’t get me now!
Ok, if you guys want one of the clearest pieces of hard evidence of pure unadulterated Russian Bias, check this out. These are my top 30 ground vehicles sorted by SL/Game, in Arcade. ALL of these vehicles are Premium Vehicles. All have the 2.0x SL bonus.
EXCEPT FOR ONE. The ONLY non premium vehicle in my top 30 SL/Game Ground Arcade vehicles is the Tech Tree BMPT. This is ABSURD. I even made more SL’s/Game than my 2S38!!!
If the TT BMPT was a premium it would be at the top of this list, beating my current best SL/Game vehicle by ~50%!!!
I stopped playing the BMPT almost as soon as I spaded it, the number would be higher if I was still playing it. AND I wasn’t even playing it smartly! I was holding W and “trying” to die to see how stupid I could play it and still win.
And you can see my rating in the TT BMPT: 1,363. This is low compared to a lot the other vehicles on my list here. I could push the SL/game, Win Rate, and K/S+K/S numbers way higher if I actually tried and played well with it. I have a ton of good/“OP” vehicles, and the TT BMPT is one of most stupid easy/OP vehicles I have ever used in War Thunder.
Please feel free to check/look for yourself too: StatShark - See All Player, Missile, and Vehicle Statistics
(I give my permission for anyone to post my stats here if they wish, especially if you would like to use my stats for or against your arguement about RU Bias. I almost never play Ground RB, so those stats will be useless. I play Arcade almost exclusively.)
That’s evidence of a bad guess for where a vehicle should be introduced at.
An identical situation that occurred with EBR, PT-76-57, and Puma at the least.
For it to be nation-bias it has to have never occurred in any other nation, and some other factors I’d need to remember.
I do not agree with you, HOWEVER, good points, good angle for a counter argument. I like facts and data, and try to stay away from emotional “arguments”. I am not perfect, but I try lol.
Counterargument: the nationalistic bias is also mainly profit driven since not having it would mean locking out the most popular tree from the most profitable BRs
2S38 was no longer biased when it moved to 10.0. BVM is biased? Huh? When Strv 122A was added 9 months before it? And it doesn’t even place close to the top 5 best top tiers?
Pantsir is the only somewhat relevant claim as it was objectively way better than all other SPAA for a while, however its radar is currently completely broken. You can also make this argument for Strv 122 and 2A7, being way better than all other tanks for more than 5 years in 122A’s case.
2s38 isnt even that strong. its only good against blind people lmao. mentioning coastal and bluewater as seperate game modes when there are fewer naval players of all modes COMBINED than ground assault players is laughable. there is no russian bias there is just a premium bias
2S38 is about to go to its correct BR as well.
yea meanwhile t58 is still untouched so i guess the real bias is US BIAS REEE
It was only “strong” against 9.3s and it can’t face them anymore, so people have absolutely zero right to complain about it anymore.
Directly compared to ANY equivalent vehicle at 10.3/10.7, its easily one of, if not the best,
And? They still objectively and factually have some of the strongest coastal boats in-game, a nation with the worst navy IRL.
The equivalents are Ajax and Strf 9040C. They have their tradeoffs compared to 2S38. And 2S38 is going up, so…
10.3s are 0.3 below.
Ajax and Strf 9040C are going to be below 2S38 now.
So yeah, not OP.
And their coastal boats are on-par with other tech trees.
USA, and Germany at minimum.
I’d need to check the others again otherwise.
I mean STRF90C offers better protection thanks to its armor kit and spall liner but I can’t think single positive thing about AJAX tbh.
Judging gameplay videos it looks pretty meh in warthunder.
Yeah Ajax is my bad, that thing is just worse in almost every way.
Damn heres my gridning it out now xD
