Russian Bias in 2026?

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.

thats definitely how it should be (thats how it is IRL) but it aint in War Thunder in 2026 bro, you must be playing a different game…

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.

I think you’re the one playing the different game if you think 12.7 RU tanks are better.

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:

Or intentionally hold w and play with only one hand cuz bias vehicle too ez bro, or stepsis also play it but she is a feeder etc.

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.

Russia Thunder, plain and simple

Because Russian MBTs are already meh and don’t need their only strength taken away lol.

You struggling against T-series because of your skill issues doesn’t suddenly make them strong.

Cry me a river

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)]

You don’t get it.
RU tanks aren’t allowed to have any positive sides in order for balance to be achieved.

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 ?

If I didn’t put money in the game I wouldn’t care + don’t joke about “german main being blind” because this is exactly the argument russian bots here use to explain the 30% german winrates at top tier GRB.

Allegedly, german mains would all be “blind” and “dumb”.

Well the German mains sometimes are indeed blind (happens also with other mains, but never French ones)… but at the end of the day it’s just a meme caused by the fact that sometimes people using a tiger tank after watching some documentary thinks their tank is immortal and rush the enemy spawn point full of Pt76. The Russian bias is basically the same.

They should have given 2 anti-ERA DARTs capable of pening Kontakt and Relikts to lightly armored NATO MBTs DAY ONE, in order to introduce a proper balance.

Abrams/Challys/Leclercs/Arietes/Merkavas/Types have trash armor → you give them the ability to pen russian MBTs from anywhere in compensation

Leos and Strvs shouldn’t get the anti-ERA DARTs to compensate their good armor

That, is balance. It wouldn’t make russian MBTs worse, as they would easily pen lightly armored NATO MBTs from anywhere, and wouldn’t be pened from anywhere by Leos/Strvs.

Is that so difficult to balance the game for both Russia and NATO ?

EDIT: plus it would have introduced a “class” mechanic into the game, where Leos/Strvs tank, and the others DPS. Russia side → Russia tank, and you give them any other NATO nation with lightly armored MBTs to give their teams DPS. But it would require matchmaking to have a constant pattern where let’s say Russia have Russia + China + Italy on their side, and NATO have the rest

So you should tell the russian bots here the very red german winrates at top tier GRB are not explained by german mains being blind, stupid and bad.

But by something else : randomly like that, maybe a russian bias at top tier grb ?

Me when I’m in a completion of not understanding something so simple

Let’s start by the fact that low BR win rates shouldn’t be calculated.
People has just started playing the game, they are new players; 90% of your team is like that.
Ofc you are not expecting to win when half of your team is made of newbies which just want to get to the first Tiger.

Wait my bad I’ve read low br not high sorry

I’m only talking about top tier GRB, and not even with premium vehicles in those games.

So there are like, 0% new players there
