Try to make sence this time. Ty =)
POV: You’re not playing as Russia in GRB in 2026
Map swamped with BMPTs and T-80s
Most of your team has been slaughtered or has left
Being spawn killed by very cool CAS after 12 seconds
were about 5 minutes in
Incredible fun

Russian bias in 2026 can be explained in two words. BMPT and BMPT-72

BMPT-72 is not the problem.
The BMPT is the real danger

Does not matter which one of them you face when in your Leo2A4. Your are done anyway …

I still wouldn’t see a horde of BMPT-72s yolo’ing towards the spawn and say ‘Heh - no problem. I’ll just take my time plinking them one by on…oh bugger my barrels gone…I can’t see… - explosion-’
Back to garage.
Most of the Russian top tier lineup ranges from solid (even the ‘weak T-series’ tanks) to plainly broken (Panstir SV, BMPT Tech Tree). Either way top tier is utterly miserable unless you happen to be on the right team, with the right nation.

They’re both still problems regardless. I’d rather see them go to 13.3 in GRB so they can never see anything 12.0 and below.
2A4 can kill BMPT pretty reliably tho.

Hordes of any tank is a problem.
Them moving up changes nothing because you’re not solving the real problems.
- Player skill
- The ammo rack on the BMPT
- Maps and CAS

KH-38MT, LMUR (Mi28nm with ground target belt: First shell, apds sets the muzzle velocity for the whole belt which has ap-t and 2xHEF-I), Sovietsky Fantasuz, 95Ya6M (Pantsir Sm-SV)
Other nations also have a multitude of overperforming vehicles. but all of these russian ones (theres also some more at lower brs ofc) are all at top tier. So they cant see uptiers. No other vehicles at higher BRs (with better capabilities) exist so even if they were balanced, they’d be some of the best each match.

The main problem with the Mi-28 is LDIRCM, not the LMUR.
Imagine if we could actually shoot the POS down
It’s also too cheap to spawn as well
It’s like what? 600sp?

Do you really think Gaijin is planning to “fix” them anytime soon? It’s blatantly obvious they made it the way it is intentionally. Player skill will always be a problem and can’t be solved. Maps are based on historical locations so they’ll have good and bad layouts. (They should really make their own maps inspired by real locations tbh). CAS will always be imbalanced because of information restriction and the fact that a nation will always have to be the best.
Brimstones are still the best tool to shoot helis down without counterplay and without putting yourself in danger if executed properly. only Eurofighters and Gripen E (maybe more) get these at top tier. Theres also all the other helis with LDIRCM in most other nations.
Considering SP costs. Most high tier helis (compared to the SP costs and K/D of tanks) are underperforming actually. OFC Mi28nm has to be the best, but 600 sp or however much it is doesnt really make it worth spawning for an average of 1.8 to 2 kills in the AH64es maybe not even the 2,8 on the mi28nm? Though, on nm it gets close id say. Surely thats heavily influenced by the pantsir shooting most jagms down while the Mi28 nm doesnt have to deal with that but…
Also it pisses me off that almost every heli beyond 11.0 has IR protections so it makes earlier systems useless. Even at top tier the US still gets given the LAV-AD as a free vehicle.
Yes, but the issue is ARH AAs as well as IR AAs can’t even put so much as a scratch in those helis
There’s the thing - a Russian team can get to that critical mass where hordes are pushing your spawn because they:
a) Have a broken SPAA that can keep your own CAS from plinking red tanks.
b) Have strong CAS that can often whack any Blue tanks that are actually pushing out and not spending the game hiding behind a rock.
c) Have a certain vehicle where the approach appears to be 'shoot it and hope that you land that weakspot shot without them changing direction, without any variance in network, or that you get a clear shot of those special few particular pixels you need to hit.
BMPT-72 is just another addition that Russian Top Tier didn’t need. BMPT Tech Tree is just a complete and total act of sabotage to the health of the game’s top tier.
Maps are too small, doesn’t matter how historical.
Advance to the Rhein, smaller versions of cargo port, and others are the issue.
Not to mention spawncamping sightlines a d the locations of airfields and helipads

They have incredibly small IR signatures too in tandem with MAW, LDIRCM (That works out to over 4+ miles). To even get a lock I have to use the hydra trick on the LAV-AD and all they have to do is move slightly.
We need more of this, for other nations.
UAE S1 when?
