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.
