Russian Bias in 2026?

This inequal statistics tendency can be seen with majority premium, techree and squadron vehicles.

Its called Russian bias not Russian vehicle bias

Notice how they added the pantsir after they had to endure the kh38tm for a single patch (Japanese su30)

I wouldn’t bother trying to argue semantics with ralin. He spent most of an entire thread effectively arguing that Igla = Stinger because ‘they look similar’.

(He’s one of those guys.)

Surely you can quote this?

I’ll do better - here’s the thread you crayoned all over. People can just search @Ralin and see you getting progressively less coherent as the thread went on…

MANPADS Missiles and Overload: The Technical Details - Official News, Development Blogs and Updates - War Thunder — official forum

For those who haven’t learned their mathematics and history from a Soviet Tractor Factory Textbook - here is something of a summary.

Igla calculations are used by Gaijin as a basis for Stinger and Mistral agility (G performance).

Your argument before you eventually scurried back to the Russian forums was that everyone should trust the Russian document that states that Igla has X performance so we should trust all formulas and assumptions based on that similar looking missiles.

Oddly enough - when the rather obvious flaw (using a Soviet performance graph to try and divine the performance of missiles developed by totally different countries, using totally different principles and often from totally different time periods) became apparent - you started to get a little bit antsy.

Then I recall you promptly disappeared before popping back up on the Challenger 2 armour thread - where your pearls of wisdom were something of a bit of a comedy but tiresome.

TLDR- You are doubtless an intelligent poster but when it comes to Western tech you do tend towards the old-school ‘Russian Tech cannot do this - so nobody else can’ line of thinking.

He’s also done it in the anti-ERA thread, once it became apparent I will not provide him with the DM53 blueprint, he promptly dipped and went back to the Russian forum, where he’s since then kept repeating how DM53/M829A3 can’t actually defeat Kontakt-5, and M829A4 can’t defeat Relikt - why? Because “he doesn’t believe they can”.

I still don’t see where I quoted that “the igla and the stinger are the same.”

You simply made up my statement.

What did I say wrong?

Yeah - just let him get on with it and carry on.

well according to gaijin they are the same thing.

to the point an igla source(only mentioning igla) is valid for the stinger and mistral

I shall wheel out a personal favourite JPEG of mine - when AMRAAM was first being added.

big sad we cant nerf the r77 using pl12 sources

The problem with people is that they’re convinced of something, but they can’t actually prove it.

So when a tank/shell/etc. appears in the game and doesn’t meet their expectations, they won’t be able to prove it wrong and will claim they were deceived.

In asking questions here, I also realized there are no sources that would allow to judge the effectiveness of the 829A3/4 and DM53 as they imagine.

The DM53 has been in the game for many years, but it doesn’t ignore the ERA. No one has been able to prove otherwise with reliable sources.

I literally calculated the shell’s penetration based on the LO and got an unsatisfactory result.

Where’s the faith here?

RHM stated outright DM53/63 defeat “Double-action Heavy ERA”. There’s only two ways to interpret it, either flyer plate + explosion ERA, or double flyer-plate ERA - i’d wager the first, since that’s exactly what Kontakt-5 is, and what RHM has had worked on, as they have had Kontakt-5 ever since 1987’ish.

In asking questions here, I also realized there are no sources that would allow to judge the effectiveness of the 829A3/4 and DM53 as they imagine.

DM53 works the same way Tandem-ATGMs do. Take their performance, apply it to DM53. Simple, right? Or maybe you can’t comprehend it?

The problem with people is that they’re convinced of something, but they can’t actually prove it.

Well I could, but then I’d throw you under the bus for asking me to leak classified info :)

I wonder what would the devs think about one of their moderators actively encourging it both in the open, and in private :)

The DM53 has been in the game for many years, but it doesn’t ignore the ERA. No one has been able to prove otherwise with reliable sources.

How is this relevant? Gaijin was planning to make it “anti-ERA”, but the Russian forum cried and that was thrown out the window, we have datamines from 2020 showing the code was in the game for it lol

Literally the only reason why we don’t have ANY anti-ERA, was because the Russian players (both on the ENG and RUS forums) cried bloody tears back before New Power went live, for it to be removed. Otherwise Gaijin would likely do vastly more research into the topic, and we’d have answers that don’t require certain people to leak things.

“is not” Community Bug Reporting System Just because gaijin decree a highly classified armour array is fine doesn’t mean it is.

T80U-E1 has more effective armour VS kinetic penetrators than the damn Oplot lol.

Why you’re arguing this when it’s proven in game is beyond me.

Which is why if you look. chinese Oplot squadron has worse overall stats VS the TT version from the Japanese tree.

It’s not even semantics either lol it’s literal differences that the Oplot comes out on bottom from.

Ralins a mod? lol

Yeah I remember that lol

so gaijin u want to do something with cancer bmpt??? this is all only not balanced in 10.7 br!!! 4/4 battles lose vs russia is so funny really but nato vehicles was to good nerfed underground in two weeks min!!!

Indeed he is, over on the RU forum. A tech moderator in fact, so when a bug report is closed for anything, be mindful, he could be the culprit.

Oof - didn’t realise that. Has he been caught saying the immortal words in one of his posts?
