Russian Bias in 2026?

While losing out on gimbal limits

The difference is also mind games

9L/I can trick players into it being a Fox-3 due to the smoke trail as well as the fact some MAWs can give you rwr launch warning sounds on IR missiles.

Can’t notch an IR missile can we

I use it, it does actually have a noticeable effect on people when they do notice the missile.

Especially on enemies that can’t afford to waste countermeasures

Calling it a niched thing while it is an actual advantage that can get you kills or not is kinda dumb.
Especially considering that the plane you called better only has LWS going for it with the better gimbal

Tell me, what advantage does LWS give you in air RB?

You pulling the skill issue card when you yourself are a very mediocre player will always be funny.

I also used and there no noticable difference, its just placeboo effect.

In that case Aim9m will also achieve same result because he has to stay away from ir missile range.

Claiming its effective due to very spesific scenarios is actually dumb.

Your Aim9l/I will not give any advantage 9/10 times unless you apporach to vegetable person which at that point you will kill him regardless of what ir missile you’re carrying.

You’re just talking for the sake of talking.

Okay, then go ahead and show how you score kills using that view in su25/k.

Enemies dont render from 5+ km in that view or in 3rd person view.

After 3 months I returned to War Thunder and everything was going well until I decided to play on the top tier and remembered why I had previously deleted this game.
I’ve played many online games, but I’ve never seen such an imbalance of power anywhere else.

Let’s think about it.

Who has the most survivable and hardest-to-kill helicopters? The USSR , Ka-50, Ka-52, Mi-28 helicopters that can survive 2–3 missile hits. And who has the toughest aircraft? Again, the USSR Su-25s that can easily survive even two missile hits. And the most survivable tanks? I think the answer is obvious.

Soviet MBTs received an enormous buff in the form of spall liners, fuel tanks that absorb almost all damage, and Relikt ERA that can disrupt APFSDS shell trajectories. And that’s exactly why Russian Bias is the way we see it. Soviet tanks just push straight through because they know they have armor, because they know they have fuel tanks that tank damage, and Relikt ERA.


Now, to play on the top tier, you have to wait 2-3 minutes because many people have left the top tier or switched to other game modes. Because no one wants to fall victim to these beer monsters. And if this continues, the queues will be 5-7 minutes long.

In two hours of gameplay, I encountered Russian bias about ten times.

The T-90M just tanks shots with its sides, fuel tanks, and road wheels. And that’s in only two hours of playing.

You shoot at its side, and your shell either disappears, passes straight through the tank without doing any damage, or changes trajectory. Then you die to the T-90M, which just keeps driving forward without even having to think about anything.

I think I’ll stop playing until they give me a DM73 and M829A3. I’m tired of playing with a cheater.

Leopard isnt better yet somehow you have way better KDR in them compared to russian tanks

I also have better K/D ratio in my T-80U-E1 compare to my M1A2 SEP V2.

Individual K/D’s doesn’t mean anything in this regard.

Okay, then go ahead and show how you score kills using that view in su25/k.

I’ll never give another cent to that company giving the fact they favorize Russia on purpose and punish NATO nations.

Enemies dont render from 5+ km in that view or in 3rd person view.

If you have a bad rig uncapable of rendering ennemies from that distance it’s your problem lol

This.

I’ve been saying this for months, the game is just a big advertisement for Russia lol

hmmm

He has nothing else to say because he is that ignorant

I played ~10.3 quite regularly (not even USSR, UK) prior to the BMP-Ts, I could count on one hand the amount of times I’ve seen the Su-25 get a kill with Kh-25s. The A-10 is the plane that is borderline unkillable if flown correctly, which is just flicking Mavs and avoiding the urge to gun run. I even used the tech tree A-10A at 11.0 alongside the AH-1W and the only real threat were higher tier SAMs I’d never see otherwise and enemy aircraft.

In your case at least you killed the driver, in my case fuel tank and then the driver absorbed the projectile…

Replace the abrams with a leopard and a lot will change, have faith on that.

Aside from 2A7V’s/122’s all other leopard models are inferior to M1A2’s in general.

They are the most handheld MBTs in the game and in most cases the best MBT of their respective br. The guy I originally replied to has some weird cope mechanic that makes him think that the leopards are worse than T-series tanks

They might not be worse. But they’re hella lot easier to fight against, that’s a fact.

It’s better than not being able to even see your target.

I don’t think you have played or used the Su-25 at all. Even in the test drive you’ll realize how hard it is to hit a moving target without being able to lock it.

Objectively false. SPO-15 can’t detect almost everything at it’s BR, unlike the A-10.

This will never happen in any match, as you will be much closer by the time the missile hits, while also being unable to dodge anything.

This isn’t true.

You won’t be 10km away by the time the missile hits.

oooof

This whole time I never even considered that, I’ve been thinking of the 25Ts RWR thanks to the event

25K > A-10
what an absolute joke
