Russian Bias in 2026?

Not in game

It isn’t (at least at top tier)

And 10 NATO planes for 2 russians ? (without SP cost of course, if we really want to push the realism further)

Ha would be nice if they did the same for the manpads instead of coming up with some obscure interpretation, oh well

Wouldn’t really change anything most of the times. Besides, barrel elevation isn’t modelled for most tanks anyway.

We can talk about barrel elevation when russian tanks get proper spalling caroussels and actual turret baskets, half of LMURs on MI28 are removed, 95Ya6m’s drag is increased and its damage reduced, BMPT belt is connected, KH38MT is properly removed, and LDIRCM is fixed

I didn’t say that it needs to be modeled. I literally said the same thing as you, that it’s useless.

I was probably responding to the claim that the game doesn’t take into account the time it takes to raise and lower the barrel during reloading.
Of course, it does.

We already have it modelled. Just like in real life column of 32 ru trashcans are moving to engage 8 NATO tanks. ~10 break down half way, 12~ get droned/artyd, 2-4 get captured. All of it happens behind the loading screen, that’s why you’re unable to see that, but it is what it is.

Keep in mind they will also be inferior in terms of CAS support because no fictional KH-38MT, very limited amount of TGP (in fact most of them will not have luxury to access it), LMUR’s will not be F&F while NATO unleashes multiple F&F munitions including AGM-144L’s and Brimstone MMW.

I would like to see how long he can endure that.

It is though. NATO tanks are better than RU ones at every BR.

Damage bug. Been circulating for a few months now. Applies to all shells and tanks.

4044

Thx for pointlessly naming some tanks that exist in this game I guess? What’s the purpose? What is better than what exactly?

4045

My point is NATO tanks are better than RU tanks in War Thunder.

And your point is incorrect. Thanks for your participation in this conversation.

4047

You’ve played 1 nation at top tier. Germany, and Fuji, if that counts. I’ve played all 10. So i’m sure you would know.

They can’t handle this truth at all.

Doesn’t add any validity to your opinion though.

Bein better than Russian tanks isn’t such a high bar on these days if you didn’t noticed.

Also og reply was meant for how “good” NATO gear is in game, not compare to Russia.

NATO gear ingame doesnt even come close to real life performance in most of the time.

Mhm. I’m sure you would know what tanks are good and what aren’t when you’ve played a grand total of, 4?

4052

I did not touch on CAS because it is not my wheelhouse, though for the most part NATO is better until top tier.

4053

This is not competition with Russians but rather comparing to real life counterparts.

You keep repeating same thing over and over again.

4054

Yup, indeed I would? Facing equals experience if you didn’t know for some reason?

I was replying to this. Whether or not NATO gear is good in game, and using RU as the comparison. Not comparing it to its IRL performance.
