Russian favoritism has always been a thing in War Thunder—it’s just become much more noticeable over time.
I also don’t understand why you’re bringing up the Abrams. The Abrams itself is heavily nerfed, and many players have pointed out that its armor isn’t accurately modeled compared to the available information.
And this isn’t just an issue with American vehicles. The same complaints apply to many NATO tanks, which are often considered to be underperforming because of inaccurate armor or damage modeling.

No, not every nation has OP vehicles.
USSR for example has zero OP MBTs, while USA has over 10 OP MBTs.
USA is the only tech tree in War Thunder that has stronger lineups than all other tech trees for 7 years running.
USSR never has, USSR has only ever been on-par at best.

Oh, you’re following in the footsteps of TIGER TANK with Devil’s Advocate arguments.
Abrams is not nerfed, it’s being buffed even more.
Inaccuracies aren’t nerfs/buffs, they’re just inaccuracies which all vehicles have.
They only mentioned the BMPT and not the -72. Yeah, they aren’t proxy. From the context it’s pretty clear which shells they ment but i generally agree with the correction.
Right it just killed the entire br range both above and below it until its most recent moving up and is still highly prominent in gameplay for a country that is now boasting a 63 percent win rate or something like that at top tier, but its doing awful. Of course it alone is not the reason for Russia’s high win rate but it does make it a lot easier when that 30mm farms SP to nuke the map in an SM2 thirty seconds into the match lol.
But for real the Bmpt is an insanely good vehicle and to say otherwise is kind of just ignorance.
I mean they still kind of are? You have a 30mm with sniper accuracy and high component damage basically assuring that if you can’t outright kill something frontally you can instantly disable them before they get the chance to react, and even if they do react you are survivable enough to take the hit and keep fighting (Do to a range of issues some specific to the tank and others not compounding together). Not to mention it has four spammable missiles(with good control) with insane penetration values and the ability to cause overpressure even if they don’t penn the tank. Perhaps the worst thing about it is that it makes getting into cas insanely easy and quick in which case you will then pretty much nuke the map within two minutes of match start, which is really just how top tier feels at this point especially playing against russia.
Yeah but most tanks don’t necessarily reflect how good they are by global stats which has long been an issue with balancing in the game something we all seem to acknowledge until it comes to mentioning such and such tank is overperforming. The Bmpt is a monster I mean its literally hold w and left click to win kind of vehicle.
If it was that easy I’m sure it’d show in the stats, like it did when they were down at 10.3.
Drastic drop in performance after BR changes tells you one thing, it’s far from former glory and now it has significantly less impact on games than before.
The aim thing isnt here yet so its not affecting live gameplay.
Notice how I said component damage and not penn but it can go through the front of most mbts somewhere.
800mm on a tandem head is pretty damn good especially when it doesn’t need to penn in order to overpressure.
Its ability to damage tanks and components repeatedly while also taking a good amount of hits allows it to quickly farm sp to spawn a plane and being a lower than top tier vehicle it has often a reduced spawn cost.
It literally takes less than two minutes to run across half the maps get a cap kill and assist and spawn a fully loaded mi-287nm or su-30sm2.
Doesn’t help almost all of its ammo being hit won’t detonate.
Ah yes this is the best way to balance the tanks, anyways we should move up the french 5.7 vehicles again to a further 7.0 br now because players are still doing good in them.
