Russian Bias in 2026?

Confirmation bias exists more than Russian bias.

Several nations still don’t have 14.3 worthy planes, and some were left with just 13.7s until recently, so I think gaijin would just leave the Russian tanks at a (deservedly) low BR. Either that or they unrealistically buff them/handicap nato tanks (like now) to keep parity.

For planes I’d imagine there is more parity, especially since gaijin can just make up whatever they want about stealth, and no one can stop them.

lol All ten tech trees.*

Soviet T-series tanks don’t use turret baskets IRL, the autoloader acts as the turret floor for crew.
Challenger 2s use a rotating floor instead of a basket as well.

T-80s and 90s side armor is entirely declassified. It’s impossible for them to be incorrect.

Soviet MBTs as a rule are no where close to over-powered. They are as destruction prone in-game as they are IRL, where they’re only brought up in capability in-game by the fact it’s easier to perform well in video games compared to IRL. This is also why T-series tanks explode far, far more often in-game than they do IRL as well, because that same easier to play applies to tanks shooting at T-series tanks as well.
If you want a more accurate representation of what happens IRL to these tanks, ground sim is the best place due to forced perspectives.

T-80UD got a change, and the standard BR changes are still a month away. It should be 10.7.

Your defense of Russian equipment is dubious at best, sir.

Thats what they should do but Gaijin seems to really not want the USSR tree to lack a top BR vehicle in any capacity.

But its entirely possible for ERA modeling to be certified ass

Nah thats the point. They should be worse, because the competition should be better and they benefit from some questionable modeling choices

If this is how the 5th gens get treated I will refund everything on my CC and delete game. IDGAF.

Well…

Su-57 will probably have the best stealth because reasons.

It has all-aspect DIRCM, so good luck using IR or IIR missiles

near-all-aspect radar

etc etc etc.

Soyuz and Bismark are the best BBs. No, this isn’t claiming they’re perfectly equal. Just both have specific weakspots that need to be hit in order to frag.
There are too many coastal vessels better than SKR-7 overheat management simulator. 38 x4 shots before overheat. Albatros is as good as the SKR-7 for its respective BR.
HMCS Terra Nova I can’t test drive sadly.

For torpedo boats: V-990, Pfeil, Pr 206, PT-810/811, PT-15.

For gun/torpedo boats: MPK Pr.11451, Koln, Chikugo.

IDK how good the Corse class is with their 24 slower torps.

If you think Su-57 will have the best stealth, I have a bridge to sell you.

No?

How are you having issues with Bismark, they are easily one shot by everything.

Soyuz followed by Iowa but only if the Iowa remembered to run 50% ammo. Otherwise they are just as easy to kill as the Bismarks.

Soyuz could quite easily be 9.7, Iowa, 9.0. Everything else is correctly placed.

You dont have to tell me, you have to convince Gaijin. Because well… Its russian and its Gaijin…

I’m not having issues with Soyuz or Bismark as I learned their rather similar weakspots.

Gaijin already knows Su-57’s radar cross section is similar to Rafale, they don’t need to be told otherwise.

I’d also like to expand on this in regard to bug reporting/fair implementation.

As it stands, bug reports/fixed bug reports are purely up to whatever gaijin/the mods think, and the rules around them make accurately reporting vehicle issues much more difficult for anyone but Russia or whatever vehicle gaijin wants to buff.

For implementations, I feel that gaijin just adds whatever they think will make their “statistics” be the “best”. See the Rafale vs EFT, where they buffed the Rafale unfairly above everything else. Then there’s also the J-10C vs Su-30SM2 implementation where one gets powerful engines it has barely used, and the other is stuck with weaker ones that it used to use.

Is it malice? I don’t know. Is it incompetence? Probably. The QnA showed how out of touch BVVD is, and I don’t think they will deliberately make themselves look bad. They also don’t seem to play their game, or atleast have an idea on what it’s like as evidenced by the BR changes and such.

Edit: Somewhere between 6.7 and 10.0 players seemingly forget how to aim for weakspots, which leads to a lot more RU bias accusations for tanks than there should be. Theres also so many internal biases against Russian vehicles in the playerbase, to the point where it’s difficult to objectively discuss things.

“Allegedly”. Its like saying you have a TV but you only own a 480p tv. It counts, but no one wants to watch the game on it.

I guarantee that if the Su-57 comes and isn’t weak, there will be meltdowns for days because Russia gets something on par with western equipment.

Yeah, but this is Gaijin.

Allegedly is enough for soviet reports. Its why KH-38MT exists.

The problem is they dont care about actually understanding the tech. The cute “Cheek Radars” on the Su-57 are the perfect match for the analagy i referenced. Those sensors have 1/3 the density needed to get a target lock on anything much less a stealth aircraft outside of maybe sub 5km.

I fear gaijin is gonna treat them just like a full fidelity radar and let the jet lock shit from absurd angles that are not only unrealistic but outright overpowered. If it comes to that it will make gaijin look delusional.
