Russian Bias in 2026?

Just that good irl btw

People can’t be bothered to play the game - Russian Bias

It really is simple but I’ll try and sort of reduce it down for you.

Because the situation at top tier is so heavily skewed - you are getting less people queuing to play other nations. This is a fact that can be seen by looking at the queues - even you can do that - it’s information you can find by using a computer mouse and clicking.

Once IN a match. The inbalance often results in a snowball effect once CAS/Helos start getting spawned in - once Pantsir SVs are up.

So picture the scene.

You are playing a non-Russian team. You have less incentive to spawn in again anyway if your side is getting stomped (which statistically they are more likely to be at this point).

You have even less incentive to spawn in a plane and effectively ‘waste’ your SP by either getting shot down quickly or spending half the remaining match playing cat and mouse with Panstirs flinging Mach 5 missiles at you.

None of the above is controversial and anyone at top tier can confirm the above process occurs more often than not.

ignore the br… take into consideration win/lose ratio with in game statiscitcs like k/d mix it up into an ELO ranking and you would have brackets just like faceit… wouldl be much much better

That’s not remaking the game, they can use that revenue from selling BMPT, SU30, Click-bait, UE1 to pay OT to the DEV to work and change the course of the game.

You are right, it is pretty simple.
The stomps happen mostly because teams disappear after 4 minutes of “playing” and not because of massive balance issues, not to say they are no issues, but they aren’t as deciding as people make it to be if they would just stay in the game.

But im sure with your hyperintelligence and experience you know that.

to be fair, pantsir SV SM is pretty OP , as well as the fact the BMPT got slapped into the game in such a state

Nah man russian teams have just unlimited lineups and SP and respawn 5000 times per game while Natoids never respawn and insta leave. The equipment has nothing to do with it except when russia is on the recieving end like the update where Gaijin added the IRIS T SLM without equal, then its totally the equipment and russia suffers btw.

/s, just to be sure.
Early leaving due to frustration 100% exists and aggravates the problem but the main reason and problem is always unbalanced equipment.

I completely agree yes.

Yeah, especially with the SM-SV, that was a bs addition

To be fair right now, most games I’m paired with russia, I fkin lose xd they just suck so much, the US teams are a bit better and the Ger teams are back to being played by competent players again. At least in my experience.

Don’t get me wrong, people bailing out of matches after having done nothing is an issue, but as we spoke about it’s not as bad as thought.
Sure per game it seems a lot, but it’s also far lower numbers as you and I spoke about briefly.

Which causes early leaving! nah i know man, it’s swings and roundabouts. Some games are 100 percent decided because a team liquidates way before the other. But not as often as it used to be.

I still cannot fathom why the standard pantsir S1 is still only 12.0 xD it’s easily 12.3 or 12.7 worthy, it’s still rocking roughly the same KD as it had before the IRIS T and such were added.

it’s a free SPAA now, so stats are lower bla bla bla

You’re now arguing with yourself at this point.

The teams are disappearing BECAUSE of the aforementioned balance issues. If one nation has an OP SAM system combined with probably the best helo ATGMs and A2G missiles - what else is that other than a MASSIVE BALANCE issue?

Honestly - it’s like trying to debate a block of cheese.

it’s stats arent’ even that much lower thouhg. It’s bullcrap man xD like I have the AMX A1A the premium AMX for italy, and you have no option but to take it with the ariete at 11.7.

So almost every game it’s facing pantsir S1, which isn’t bad. If you have some form of long range stand off munitions, Lizards are in fact not that long range, think my longest range kill is about 7.5km. You cannot compete with it,
Meanwhike at 12.3 GRB you can come across the Su30MKK or the likes (I know cause i’ve got it) and it’s got access to ATGMs, ARH, and IRCCM IR missiles.

Almost always in the same game xD

Su-30MKK is such bullshit XD
better CAS loadout than the Su-27SM but is a lower br cause reasons.

Love to see it

I don’t know what planet you live in but Ok. RU is op. I win most of the time as a RU player and with RU. The majority of the time when RU loses is due to the 1 death leavers

I feel somewhat similar, playing with or against russia rn really feels like a coin toss whether they get some CAS going or dont. If the sky is closed then they get smacked but you better start praying to the SPAA gods if they get more than one MI28NM going.

Nah its completely based on them being able to spawn CAS or not.
