And so Japan tree should have the same?? Half bias half not?? Is a Japanese main blessed by the bias when he’s in the Oplot or in a Mig29 then loose it the moment the use another vehicle?? And Germany?? They have the DDR vehicles? Don’t they have bias?? And ITALY?? The Hungarian bias???😭😭😭😭😭
Merkava 4 is top three best mbts according to one of the best player here who is also an active forumer. I remember he rated the 4M being #2.
Sure, if we also nerf their gun handling, gun depression, reload and mobility to the same levels as the T-series.
No it wouldn’t need that, as NATO lightly armored MBTs would still face a lightly armored MBT on the other russian side, let’s say an italian MBT
And Leos/Strvs would still face T-series
It’s not like it would only be heavily armored MBTs vs lightly armored MBTs, no. It would still be heavily armored + lightly armored VS heavily armored + lightly armored (with a matchmatking pattern made up in advance, like Russia + China + Italy VS everyone else, for example), so there is no need to nerf everyone any further.
It would still be “every types of MBTs” VS “every types of MBTs”
It wouldn’t make them worse, it would make them worthless. The Abrams is already a better tank than the T-series in almost every regard bar armor. And now you want to take away that single advantage that the T-series still have?
You don’t want balance, you just want an easy mode tank to compensate for your terminal skill issue.
T-series can already lolpen Abrams and every other NATO MBTs, except Leos and Strvs, from anywhere.
You just want russian MBTs having good armor + capable of pening NATO MBTs + good mobility (with t-90m + bvm), while NATO MBTs have bad armor + can’t lolpen everywhere as russian MBTs do to NATO MBTs + have the same mobility than t-90m/BVM (at least going forward).
How is that balanced and not heavily biased towards russian tanks ?
And you’re talking about me not wanting the game to be balanced ? what a joke
Slightly flawed logic going on here. Given the size of the War Thunder playerbase - most tanks in game are not being used by super-top-level players. They’re being used by Average Joe.
Average Joe probably doesn’t leverage that extra 2 degrees of gun depression or better gun handling. Average Joe likely gets far more utility out of T-series tanks, on our typical maps with typically random teams. Average Joe can likely get more results from his point-and-click Pantsir than the other top-tier SAMs which might have an edge in less obvious ways. The stats support this.
Wheeling out the ‘yeah but best player thinks this’ doesn’t count for much when they might be less than a single 1% of the population.

Russia 13.0 CAS is way more op than NATO ones with all the KH-38 and LMURs they have. Their winrates are all green there. Don’t know about the lower BRed CAS, I’m not flying
Because if someone here can maintain 4-5kd and 80% winning rate on x vehicle, I basically throw all my doubts out of the windows because I believe if I weren’t a complete dogshit of a player I would at least perform half as good in these vehicles, even funnier these players are also casual players just like the both of us.

That’s the only bias I believe

Is that why western tanks often times do better in the hands of the average Joe ?

You’re free to believe what you want.
Someone in a Discord posted a Lincoln Bomber player who was getting a 3:1 K/D air-to-air ratio. They were a very good player.
Does this set of data points mean that you think the Avro Lincoln is a better fighter than a Spitfire? Because that is the logical end-point of your reasoning.
Meanwhile - you look at the average - and the stats are a bit more realistic in this instance…
Which is more likely to paint a true picture of a vehicle’s overall effectiveness? The top 0.01% or the middle-ground where most of us mere mortals play?

confirmation bias, it happens plenty with NATO vehicles too.
Want a video demonstrating it?
The issue is the SM-SV
Not the CAS
NATO CAS planes are now more on par with what Russia has.
Ahem - RU Win Rates were high before the Panstir SV.
Their CAS options are every bit part and parcel of the current issue.

This is the result of lower skill floor.
Lower skill floor fortunately does not necessarily lead to a vehicle being better

The problem is that it was necessary Russia had no air defence system capable of dealing with NATO’s CAS, whereas NATO did.
Not to be that guy but what about pre 11.7 nato
Which Russian aircraft has more than two ‘fire-and-forget’ missiles with a 11.7 ?
Ahem… obviously every NATO main was mass-hallucinating the presence of these then?
RU Top Tier DID NOT NEED overpowered additions like the SV. It was doing very well with it’s existing broken vehicles and Helicopters with 360 degree LIRCM shenanigan / magical energy shield…
