That’s not how statistics work.
We know 100% that Soviet tanks at 12.7 are inferior to Swedish, American [duh], & German tanks at the minimum; thus if your assessment was correct that win rate is due to tank power, Soviets would have a lower win rate than USA, Germany, & Sweden due to having inferior tanks.
Out of the nations mentioned, only Sweden & Germany have weaker CAS.
Japan has identical CAS, & before & after it received that CAS win rates show no positive difference.
I’ve never pixel hunted a Soviet MBT in my life playing War Thunder. Strv 122s have less availability than T-90M, & T-90M is the smallest weakspots Soviet tanks have, after T-90M the weakspots get even larger.
Chinese ZTZ also able to kick t-series ass on many senarios using their superior mobility. They are probably the fastest mbt at top tier I’ve ever played bro the turret chicks and ufp protection also very good.
Honestly, you can defend them all you want, but Russian bias exists. Not because they increase armor, penetration, etc. I want to think that at least on this point the developers aren’t so shameless, but because of a whole series of tricks that coincidentally only happen with Russian tanks. I haven’t been playing that long, I only have 1500 hours, but who knows why I’ve never, ever, had a single round disappear on a non-Russian tank; it happens all the time on Russians. Not to mention the areas that magically let the round pass through without causing damage, like the area between the two barrels of a BMPT. Want to try entering a BMPT and take an APFSDS to the side? Even if it doesn’t go through, I challenge you to turn around and fire. Allowing even a light stun to passengers in small tanks even if the round doesn’t go through is bullshit, but it’s not implemented. Another problem isn’t the Russian tanks being buffed, but rather many Western tanks being nerfed with the excuse of “the signed, countersigned, and stamped data is missing” or “oh, it can’t be seen clearly from the photos.” On Challenger 2, the barrel rotates on nothing. Gaijin worked a miracle: no pivot (because it’s not signed), but the barrel rotates! And don’t bring up the balance issue because it’s not balanced at all right now. I’ve been a professional player on other types of games, and this is far from it. Shall we talk about the maps? I’m a Challenger player, and at least 50% of the maps don’t have a slope I can use to play hull down, but hey, 90% of the maps have a city or town to give you an advantage in close quarters combat. Honestly, I don’t see the point of this thread… obviously, there’s bias, these posts only serve to divide those who defend their own faction from those who defend the others, since the devs only care about money.
That’s why need to remove CAS from ground battles/add TO mode bro if tanks vs tanks the t series will get their shit pushed in. The most annoying thing is ground battles isn’t t series or bmpts, its the CAS degenerates especially those helis who sitting on helipad shoving LMURs up their own asses.
Like 90% of the match are against them like gaijing for some reason don’t want to team israel up with ru, and t series are some of the easiest tanks to bully into submission if you understand your vehicle strength and risk assessment. If you head-on one while you are on higher ground level you can shoot their turret dome and 90% of the time you will get their breech and there isn’t a damn thing they can do, peeking corner both hesitant situation they also lose 90% of the time since you can reverse back to find their expose track or engine, even better if they do the same since you will slowly shoot your way into their autoloader and their cannon available angle will only get your engine and tracks, its always one-side beating and works great for Abrams and Leos. I actually love fighting their tanks, to the point where I sometimes felt sorry for them.
They already are lol in the hands of competent players the Leopards and Abrams are just superior to the t series in game, if something belongs in the same br one shouldn’t have perform significantly better than others else what is the point of br? you have two options possess pros and cons that completely cancel each other out in most scenarios.
Over the past 5 years we’ve seen these guys who continue to screams “X tank is just better bro”, then when you got in there to see it then 9999 out of 10000 times you will see the person either doesn’t play the X vehicle they claims it’s overperforming bro, or they played it but their stats says they perform equally to their NATO counterparts, but for the most part they have worse KD for the X vehicle.
And if you point that out their response will always be similar to what this guy said:
So why do we have to wait YEARS after getting the anti-ERA DART first ?
Why did they release kontakt then Relikt altogether, so NATO suffers a lot, then M828A3 14 years later, and probably a new anti-ERA DART which will pen Relikts in 5 years ?
If the game wasn’t heavily biased towards Russia and was BALANCED, they would have released kontakt → then M828A3 → then Relikt → then a new anti-ERA DART capable of pening Relikt.
That’s what majority of people criticize here : Russia been benefiting from unfair advantages for years now (still do), such as :
LMURs top-down approach + dmg model way better and not bugged compared to JAGMs/PARS/Spikes
Presence of kontakt and relikts WITHOUT the presence of anti-ERA shells capable of pening both for God knows why (everybody knows why, it’s forbidden to give NATO a proper advantage)
Spike/MMPs missiles still can’t have a proper top-down approach, don’t even pen russian ERAs while being tandem charges
Presence of modules and turret basket : russian MBTs stil don’t have power sytems/any kind of basket
12.7 SACLOS Pantsir SM-SV : was it needed ? Where is the NATO 12.7 SACLOS SPAA to balance it ? There is still a lack of balance
BMPT armor + ammorack model : when is it properly fixed and balanced ? Are they serious ?
And the “balance” they’re currently puting in place 15 YEARS LATER are not even proper balance, because 12.7 NATO MBTs don’t care about M828A3 because they face Relikts at this BR (+ they buffed Relikts even more after that to punish NATO even more) / LMURs still have a perfect top-down approach (while JAGMs/PARS/Spikes don’t) (even after the “”“nerf”“” in dev server) / Spikes/MMPs are still broken, and NATO is EVEN MORE punished now because Russia has now 2 APS MBTs / Russia still don’t have any significant modules beside the useless-if-broken FCS / they keep adding NATO IR missiles SPAAs, but still no 12.7 SACLOS SPAA to compensate the SM-SV / they put in place ridiculous “”“nerfs”“” for the BMPT doing absolutely nothing to properly nerf the said BMPT
They try to screw NATO and give unfair advantages to Russia, the bias is so blatant at this point.
Russia top tier GRB winrates are still green, people queuing for Russia top tier GRB are still x3 in terms of number compared to ALL the other players queuing for the other nations all together. Nobody in their right mind is gonna waste his time grinding for thousands of hours a minor nation/NATO nation in general if he wants to win, NOT EVEN Germany considering how RED their winrates are at top tier GRB.
becoz making the ru vehicle bad will definitely cause a decline in Russian military exports and someone in powah will get them for this /s
the dev will defintiely get caught and send back to 1930s via time machine and get punished in gulag even when they currently operate under european union law which is completely out of reach of the Kremlin.
Being so angry about something you cannot even change lol
Even if you are right a Russian bias do exist? What u gonna do?? Go personally at Gaijin HQ in a comically angry walk with steam clouds out of your years and nerf all the Russian tree??
The Russian bias meme started as a meme and ITS a meme, same thing as “German main blinds” ]personally I find like only the 10% are actually blind, the others usually snipe me through the map (THEY ONE SHOT MY RUSSIAN VEHICLE!!! GERMAN BIASSSSSSS)]
They don’t need to be under the influence of the Kremlin to act in favor of Russia in general.
The playerbase is largely made from russian and chinese people, so they give unfair advantages to Russia and China to bring more money to the company, it’s that simple.
It’s exactly like the Battlefield games largely sold to american / occidental people in general and picturing a “USA is the best” situation in all their games
It doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do for occidental players playing WT, or oriental players playing BF. As a mater of fact, since the saudi fund bought back EA, BF6 now puts on a pedestal “Pax Armata”, who are basically Russia + Iran + China + part of Europe not ok with NATO/the U.S. in general, altogether. What a coincidence, videogame companies picture a propaganda depending on who their playerbase is, who would have thought ?
