Russian Bias in 2026?

Which gimmicky things?

The LDIRCM (or dircm?) for example

That is a fair concern

I seriously hope that mechanic gets nerfed.

I wouldn’t bet on it.

I’m not

Before this bug is fixed… I don’t think any Leopard 2 is"Better"

Yes that’s so much better, because it’s actually debatable in detail and does not mash together 6 trees into 1 for no reason.

Your tired is correct .Su57 can use KH38

Im gonna be completely honest, that’s absolutely the least of my worries regarding that thing.

Yes Jet’s ECM also it’s worrying

Even with that bug the 2A7 is easily better than any of the T-series.

In fact after Leopard 2 add basket(meanwhile arise this bug) I haven’t driven my Leopard 2A7 anymore。
A years ago …yes

I’ve ground through the entire German tech tree, and one thing I keep noticing is that Russian tanks are incredibly difficult to destroy with a single shot, no matter how well placed the shot is.

After three hours of playing with the Leopard 2A7 and Leopard 2 PSO at BR 12.7, I still struggle to consistently destroy Russian vehicles at BR 10.7. And before anyone says it — yes, I know where to aim.

Meanwhile, German tanks often feel extremely fragile, especially their turrets. The survivability difference feels exaggerated and honestly makes the game feel biased at times.

How long is this balance philosophy going to continue?

This has nothing to do with realism! The BMPT-72 absorbs 3 to 5 shots in 90% of cases before it dies — sometimes even more — and from the front it feels like you’re firing blank rounds at it! This is completely unacceptable, and honestly, it would be annoying if it weren’t just plain ridiculous!

I’m convinced this is all because of the eternal “День Победы” event that never seems to end. The survivability of Russian vehicles in this game feels so exaggerated that it makes actual battlefield realism look like a secondary concern compared to national mythmaking.

Su-25k vs A-10A. Both premiums.

The first one : can carry x6 10km laser guided missiles + 2 big rockets with 58kg TNT explosive mass each + 2 AA missiles

A-10A : x6 missiles + 2 GBUs with the theorical max range of 25km, but in practice can only lock targets up to around 6km max (nerfed back in the days, it could actually lock onto a target from much further away, conveniently) + x14 tiny rockets with 1.2kg TNT explosive mass each (trash) + 2 AA missiles

Again, great balance in Russia Thunder, giving nerfed-on-purpose-to-satisfy-Ivan crap to the U.S., and op vehicles to Russia.

I feel the balance from there

EDIT: the russian missiles also go at a speed of 2M and 1.8, and have around 120kg of TNT explosive mass, while the A-10 have missiles going at 0.9M with 50kg of TNT explosive mass. So again : very balance, there is absolutely no preference for Russia in this game

the A-10 is vastly superior you clown

edit: lmao @ flag

They are fired and forget, and unlike the su25 you have an optic to aim them with good magnification, on the other hand with the su you get this view, with 2x magnification, so good luck hitting anything at those 10km of maximun range.


Also you cant lock on vehicles, all of the aiming has to be manually done.

Okay then. I only included other trees to fill out the BRs where there is a lack of MBTs in general.
10.0: 2K
10.3: 2AV
10.7: 2A4
12.0: 2A4M
12.3: 2A5
12.7: 2A7

10.0: AMBT
10.7: M1
11.3: IPM1
11.7 M1A1
12.0: M1A2
12.7 M1A2 SEP

Happy?

Hell, you could use 2A4/M1 at 11.0 and they would still be the best 11.0s, pretty on par with MSC.
M1A2 can also be substituted as the best 12.3.

How can you say this when it is above average in every category except armor?
Even then, there is a reason Abrams is the most popular choice in tournaments and by skilled players in RB. Armor is not a necessity, as long as you have a functional turret.

Me when I lie 🤥

German turrets are the strongest in the game. The only tank that comes close to the 2A5+ turret protection is the T-90M and Abrams.

Let me help you.

Very, because it shows exactly what I’m talking about. That of course NATO will have something competitive at every BR but no singular tree offers complete competitiveness at the top even against reality like the ussr tree.
