Russian Bias in 2026?

[UNN_Daedalos]

Ok so for a quick summary of russian bias so far we have :

• KH38MT, existence unclear, added anyway. IR camera with questionable performances compared to known documentation
• LMUR, 8 hardpoints instead of 4, Merkava and Strv 122, only vehicles to withstand it, see their roof armor nerfed the exact same patch
• The manpads article, which can be resumed to : “USSR igla and Western Stinger and Mistral are visually the same, so we don’t think french or US engineers could make them turn harder” (the sentence itself is full of russian exeptionalism)
• Relikt / western ERA / NERA (first one is lighter, but stronger against Kinetic AND chemical threats somehow)
• Sovetsky Soyuz and VERY generous interpretation of what it theorically COULD have been
• Pantsir SM-SV added right after buk, because “it was underperforming” according to Gaijin, but nations with SAMs performing even more poorly did not get anything
• BMPT and the unconnected ammo belt
• Addition of internal modules being a nerf to surivability => russia comes last

Most of these have an impact on top tier, which is the end of most people’s grind and an overall large pool of battles played.

The autoloader changes nothing, since you can still shoot back if your opponent missed that one charge by 2cm with spall disappearing to said autoloader

2s38 was the one thing that started it all, and players complained quite a lot, so Gaijin had to reluctently do something about it (i think it was also in the context of the review bombing, but i could get my timing wrong on this one)

This community is known for shooting themselves in the foot.
Cry about APHE for ages, proceeds to vote against APHE changes.
Cry about lack of damage their rounds make, proceeds to vote for detailed modules, cry about too much damage.

Notice how almost nobody complains about the modules themselves, but the double standard

If this kind of answer was spoken in a professional environment - you’d have been fired.
Doing half-assed job with a make-do attitude correlated renewing your CV

Well i mean im not working there how i should know what logic they have i don’t even know what their data you asking pointless question here. Best guess is T-series have less performance than Tanks who got additional modules so adding basket for now is pointless.

Well you got what you think you voted for and now getting what you really voted for.

[BabySoEz]

I think you and the other due, are too young to understand how to thoroughly manage & execute any given project .

[UNN_Daedalos]

I never voted for russian tanks getting preferential treatment though, did i ?

Or would you imply Gaijin makes unclear polls on purpose so they can do whatever they want anyway

which in turns means voting is useless, so why are we even having this convo about said poll in that case ?

I’ve been noticing quite the opposite thing.

No you voted for modules there they are.

[SadRIPer]

Very fortunate for russian players that the modules seem to be applied to them at the very very last time, isn’t it ?

Cannot be applied at once for all vehicles, but somehow it’s Russia that’s getting nerfed last (if ever). Lucky guys !

[BabySoEz]

Can’t teach if you not willing to change your life, mate.

[UNN_Daedalos]

Modules are fine, as i said

This is a russian bias thread, modules nerfing survivability arrive on russian tanks last, confirming a trend that’s been going on for years now

We just take notes, that’s all
I don’t see why that makes you uneasy

[SadRIPer]

We’re not critizising the implementation of modules, we’re critizising the fact russian vehicles are always the last to get nerfed (with the said modules) after everyone, lol.

[MotorolaCRO]

Some wise words there, wish a guy from the forum would enlighten us.

[MotorolaCRO]

Their tanks got modules first.

@UNN_Daedalos

This trend comes when Soviet tech tree had 30% winrate.

[SadRIPer]

Oh you mean the fcs doing nothing once broken ?

Such nerf

[MotorolaCRO]

No, I’m not thinking about the FCS.

[SadRIPer]

Oh you meant any shape of form of turret basket russian MBTs still don’t have, didn’t you ?

@Whisloy

In particular as part of this task, we’re currently separating and detailing the elevation and traverse drives of the M1 and Leopard 2 series tanks with the addition of a hydraulic drive supply tank, where disabling this part will also disable the guidance drive.

But thats not what Gaijin did, is it? Instead of actually separating and detailing the internal modules they muddled together baskets, turret drives and rotating floors for absolutely no reason and then came up with the brilliant explanation why those things affect the rotation of the turret:

Which of course begs the question what russian tankers sit on or if they just levitate inside the tank and whether autoloader carousels are for some reason immune against being physically deformed the way baskets are.
So no, Gaijins blatant double standards cant be blamed on the community.
