kh31pd are pretty crazy, pretty much kh38mt on crack when it comes to spaas.

You pretty much have 3 possibilities to win right now:
-
Lucky roll and get a Chad 13.0 team that obliterates the RU team.
-
Uptier yourself to 13.0 with the F-18E(Or F-15C GE but F-18E is better). Spawn it with the 12 AMRAAM as soon as possible. Try to maintain air superiority and kill Mi-28NM before they win the game for the RU team.(non efficient to grind since your ground RB match is essentialy air RB.)
-
Downtier yourself with a 12.7 lineup and hope that you get good matchmaking without Mi-28NM. RU players are often absolutely rubbish and struggle to get a win without the Mi-28NM/Kh-38 gimmick handing them free win even though they lost ground game.
To say current balance is an absolute mess would be an understatement.
thats why they nerfed lmur lol
Maybe because that gimmick is what makes them so strong in the first place.

i am TIRED of people saying “RUSSIAN BIAS” is a “REAL” phenomenon while the Russians have quite literally nothing going for them anymore except for their planes and their SPAA.
breakin it down somewhat
Pre SM2 era (waow), the Rafale RAN the game for a year, being the BEST plane at top tier SUSM2 is the best plane in the game, but it only took a YEAR of the Ralph bein the goat for this to occur
Prior to SMSV, the IRISTjunge was the GOAT in the ground gamemode
Thats literally it man, the Russians have quite literally nothing except for SMSV and SU30SM2
The US (for comparison) IN GROUND has
ARGUABLY better CAS (GBU53 vs KH38MT debate RAGHH, + LMUR nerf LMAO)
(m1a1HC after bein hit by 2x LMUR)
WAY better tanks (its not even CLOSE between BVM and M1A2 LMAO)
and AA that is albeit worse than SMSV intercepting 1 trillion msls but ARGUABLY isnt bad at all (CLAWS)
In air yeah its NOT close for the US but other nations (i.e. France, Japan) have their own equivalents to the SUSM2 and better planes for new players to set absurd KD in (see: Ralph)
i think people need to STOP pretending RUSSIAN BIAS is a REAL THING and not actually just MASS HYSTERIA over an update where the US gets buffed 20 trillion times (abrooms armour + a3 + brand new point and click mobiles to play bloons TD in against BVMs) and russia receives literally 1 buff (RELIKT lmao) and a tril nerfs (see: bmpt dispersion + LMUR)

I appreciate your take on it, and I wouldn’t refer to it as bias but more favoritism. I also have to strongly disagree. I’m top tier with a hand full of nations and the easiest of them to play is Russia hands down. When I’m playing the T-90M or the BVM I don’t ADS unless it’s a long shot (500+ meters). NATO tanks have such extremely large weak spots that as long as I pen them it’s gonna take the horizontal at the very least. And when I play the BMPT I almost always nuke. I swing corners with Russian tanks knowing 8/10 times I’m gonna tank their shot and I’ll take comparatively minor damage. The photo you posted of the Abram’s is an outlier, more likely than not the bomb hit a turret cheek or some weird volumetric spot. I can not describe to you the amount of times I have been killed in an Abram’s by CAS or helis. I do agree that some people definitely over exaggerate, but i survive more shots in Russian tanks that would destroy any other tank in the game.

Most NATO tanks r pretty weak in terms of armour irl and in game (see: leclerc, see Chally, see Ariete) but also SOME nato tanks have the best armour in the game (see, strv122, leo2a7v, m1a1 and all following abrams), yes their weakspots are larger at range, but what NATO tanks lack in “having small weakspots” they make up for in curbstomping russian tanks in reload, mobility, gun handling, reload, etc. 99% of issues you’ve described with swinging corners and surviving is just a playerbase issue, imho.
re: the image of m1a1hc survivng lmur, its a nerf, both hit the roof directly, lol.
is there russian bias? yes
is it overexaggerated when some of them have a skill issue? yes

although it exists, its overexaggerated sometimes. for example, i see people complaining and saying the king tiger is overpowered, even though they didnt shoot the weakspots

I’d like some clear examples of russian bias with non anecdotal evidence please :D
I have the definitive prove of Bussian Rias!!! Look how this T80 massacred these poor abrams

Trve…
I have very little knowledge when it comes to most IRL NATO tanks however, I do have pretty extensive knowledge about the Abrams. The M1A2 family are some of the most, if not the most, heavily armored tanks on the planet. The problem lies in the fact that the composite inserts for the hull and turret are highly classified. There’s plenty of documentation about potential protection values but I’d rather not get into that whole discussion here. The crux of the issue is while modeling, gajin usually gives upper limit values to Russian equipment, while NATO tanks usually get the lower end. And that’s true across the board from missles to planes and tanks etc. the reload rate and reverse gear are worse yes, but that is the exception

lack of depleted uranium armor on the abrams
Can you prove that the DU was installed? The devs explained very clearly that they dont believe DU was installed in the LFP of the SepV3
The term “NATO receives the lower limit and RU receieves the upper” is flawed when you look at Eurofighter, Rafale and SU-27SM flight performance. Eurobomber and Rafale have been overperforming since the dawn of time, while the SUSM is significantly lacking lift
Steven Zaloga (if you don’t know who he is, he’s one of the foremost tank experts on the planet) Has a couple books regarding the Abram’s armor, in which he describes the DU/ceramic inserts that were used on the v3
Did he work on the project?
That’s a great question I’m not sure if he had a hand in the development, though he does do contract and consulting work for the DOD regarding armored vehicles
