Russian Bias in 2026?

Well, that 0% ain’t that true… open some teammates account stats next time… ;)

No btw the more I read this the more I confuse myself.
Sooo are you saying German high tier players have a bad win rate only cuz of Russia?
Like the 8 others playable nations doesn’t contribute to that result at all??
Sweden that have vehicles from the 90s at like 5.7?? Okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

To balance things more, specifically to vehicles themselves : you give MMP/Spike missiles the ability to perfectly hit ennemies from a vertical top-down approach and massive post-pen dmg, BUT you give every single nation facing those Spike/MMP missiles IFVs MBTs with APS capabilities. This way, it’s balanced

You give the exact same top-down approach to LMURs/JAGMs/PARS/Spikes. Maybe give LMURs more dmg to compensate the fact Mi-28NMs only have 8 of them. BUT you give german and french helis 16 FnF, not 8/12 as they have currently. This way, it’s balanced

Is that so hard to introduce balance ?

Sure, if we also nerf their gun handling, gun depression, reload and mobility to the same levels as the T-series.

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.

You MIGHT be a German main… I’m not sure tho maybe a bird said that to me

Sooo are you saying German high tier players have a bad win rate only cuz of Russia?

Because of Russia and China, yes. But don’t worry, not Germany only is affected by their dominance, all NATO nations are. That’s the reason why Russia has green winrates everywhere at top tier GRB BRs, and no NATO nation does

There is a pattern at top tier GRB where Russia is very often against all NATO, and rarely with them. So it explains the green winrates. But if Russia was 100% of the time against whole NATO and never ever teamed up with them, NATO nations would have had even more red winrates

It’s just, logical

Bro is still throwing china in there lmao.

They also consist of a group that bought top tier goonbrams/clickbait/ t-80ue/leopard goon that average 0.3-0.5 KD and throw most the the matches at toptier by going 0-1/0-2 then proceed to go 0-3 after their third spawn m22 or kv-2 is killed, good thing is both sides has them and they kinda cancel each others out lol

Sooooo if I tell you like my Su34 has a red win rate cuz of Aim120D is this still Russian bias??

China is just a Russia bis with a little bit less armor and a little bit more mobility/gun agility, with the privilege of having a touch of U.S equipments such as AH-64E and Abrams, so they can be compared to Russia without having to debate about it.

At least in GRB… sadly I play more ARB and there this type of people is a real problem they just spam every Fox 3 at ONE plane and then crash or kill a friendly… they absolutely ruin the game

Soooooo when a Chinese main use the Abrams in their tree they loose the bias? Then gain it back the moment they play a continental China tank??? This make no sense bro

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
