Russian Bias in 2026?

And almost all jet battles are mixed so you’ll be both teamed with and against Russia in almost every match.

So ARB is just russian jets vs russian jets? And all other jets are just spectators in the match?

Because there everyone plays against everyone. They don’t divide the sides by nationality.

Soviet’s start falling off after the 4.0-5.7 ground line-up because almost every tank you get is either undergunned, has a long reload time, and/or just flat mediocre compared to the competition. There’s a couple gems here or there, but they’re almost all premiums/market place tanks. Once you get to 10.0 is when the USSR tanks start dominating again.

It’s why I don’t really play much past 6.0.

Its not pure random or all-vs-all though, Some nations have a tendency to be paired together more often than others.

Like Britain and France seem to get matched together quite often, so I rarely fight Rafales in the Typhoon.

US and Israel I think often get paired together too

@SadRIPer yeah you definitely missed out on a sale.

In terms of armor protection, there is no improvement from M1a1HC → M1A2sepv2 because Gaijin used the Swedish test trials to model any DU Abrams. So technically they are all export models lol.

There really weren’t that many improvements. Keep in mind that the US army and USMC were using the M1A1 for a very long time. The HC seems to be more of an upgrade to bring the M1A1 up to M1A2 standards in certain aspects.

Thank you this clarifies a lot I was missing. When I saw the M1A1 non HC I was like, they all have the same armor. Glad to see there’s a least some difference between DU and non DU.

When will they add M1A2 SEPV3 to the game?

air is actually far less plagued with russian bias, and, dare i say quite balanced compared to the mess that is top tier ground (only compared to ground though, cause it’s still unbalanced as f if you observe it in a void)

It goes more like “OP plane of the year stomps on everybody” but at least more nations have a go at doing the stomping

Mig23 MLD (USSR) → F-14 (US) → Gripen (SWE, UK) → Rafale (FRA)

Some still does seep through though. Like the Su-30SM2 having very high spawn speed, whilst aircraft that could probably do with it like the F-18s, just dont and the “benefit of the doubt” approach to the radar and engines the Su-30SM2 currently has is a little annoying. Especially given the hoops most of other nations have to jump through usually

yeah and R27ER that were annoying, though multipath was higher

But it doesn’t ruin your entire gameplay like fantasy black hole armor BMPT, Magic Lemurs being the only ones to one shot more reliably, SM SV the armed version of Sauron’s Barad dûr, and KH38MT the missile that strikes you from non existence

That is true, but im fearing the Su-57

Su-57s will mostly depend on : are they willing to fix IIR resistance to LDIRCM before it makes it in game

I’ll agree with you : the odds are not looking in our favor

Yeah… I see some truly dark days ahead of us.

Im expecting the R-74s dual-band seeker thingy, to inexplicitly be better than IIR

The Su-57 to be immune to any IR missile, whilst also having the best stealth because “reasons” and probably also the best ECM because “reasons”

Im am actually truly dreading what they’ll concoct

Lads with certainty we have a premium LMUR spewer coming this year. Paired with the Ka-52M
It just makes sense to do it.

T-90M2 Obr 24/25 or a T-80BVM Obr 24
Su-35S with R-77M because Aim 120D is so good…

They call it the tireless glider

That’s all it does on 100km and 3 business days

They can’t add it without adding M829A4 so not going to happen.
