Russian Bias in 2026?

It’s both over and underperforming - upper plate should be capable of easily withstanding 3BM-42 from <500m, but the beak shouldn’t be capable of easily stopping anything below 550mm of pen, iirc the more realistic level of protection was at around the same level as the upper plate, i.e ~450 to 460mm.

Gaijin doesn’t care however, but i’d rather take the improved upper plate with a nerfed beak over what we have now, as at least it could FINALLY survive the HSTV-L and 2S38 guns frontally apart from the LFP…

Eh, much better than getting penned by hstlv’s APFSDS shell on ufp.

SXXI and XLR should have slightly better figures iirc.

Turret only for SXXI to my knowledge. Hull was never properly improved, not even on the XLR me thinks.

I can’t say much for the velocity myself.

The loft is definitely wierd, it looks incredibly inefficient. Interception is my main concern really.

agreed, the seeker is mostly good enough, I dread the day IIR (even with current seekers) gets mounted on aircraft.
Good luck playing China

As far as I know they improved its protection on both hull and turret by using increased thickness on turret armor and titanium on both hull/turret.

Again I’m not so sure so not gonna claim anything else.

It was only the turret. I remember the sources.

Wouldn’t be surprise if thats the case.

French army neglected Leclerc’s problem for a long time.

Stalinium is back :D
(2x120B detonated in proxy distance, but Stalinium is stronker)



definetly not

Iirc the bushmaster burst is also at 200rpm, so that mode would make no change, the one that could have a burst mode up to 700rpm is the MK30 but also it was confirmed that the puma lacks such a mode, so only the kf41 would theorically be able to have it.


Even the newer xm813 still operates at 200rpm

Just like Gripen before or F-14 before it. OP flavor of the year plane

Air seems less plagued by the russian bias issue though, i will say

Mixed bag. Lower plate shouldn’t be that strong, but upper plate shouldn’t be that weak either

SXXI still lacks the upgraded armor on its turret

All of those are a few examples scattered across many nations. BMPT, LMUR, overperforming ERA, KH38, SPAA spam, fantasy Soyuz that’s only on one

I wish I had that kind of faith in Gaijin.

Maybe on a clean jet and then you go straight to maintenance or push it over the carrier into the ocean.

Do the same thing in Sukhoi or any other MiG and you will take your wings into your hands.

Try harder.

Where can I find some of this russian bias so to improve my WR… I’m not getting any of it

You know it is possible for a human beeing to acknowledge capabilities from western and eastern stuff without brainrot propaganda right ?

You can convince yourself people here can be reasoned with or you can just be the red team and just ragebait, there is no middle ground when fighting misinformation…

Nato will continue to receive the worst versions of equipment just so Gaijin can pedal the idea that Russian tech is relevant. The sad part is we ALL know this. Gaijin is unknowingly making Russian tech look like garbage since their current tech has a hard time fighting bug ridden weak versions of Nato equipment from 20 years ago. It’s pathetic.

I’m gonna keep it real with you chief
Not even russian bias can save you i think…

There, fixed it for you

Special mention to Soyuz, KH38, and double quantity of LMUR

I am not claiming technological superiority of Russian equipment; I am calling out the hypocrisy of NATO mains who refuse to acknowledge certain aspects and want their power fantasy poured into the game, destroying balance.

Besides, it’s impossible to show the aspects of each country/side’s doctrine and pour them into a 15 minute match.

I agree that if NATO got their actual stuff, whatever side opposes them would suffer greatly, how would this be balanced?
