Russian Bias in 2026?

No I don’t fear anything IRL. Because I know their tanks suck.

That’s the whole point. The game picture their tanks as demigods, while they blow

Russia had its time after BMPT release. Guarantee it’s going to change soon.

Seems like players wasted no time in gunning for v3.

Yeah, it’s been a real game changer and with the trophy on the M1A2 it’s night and day difference with the toxic CAS. I haven’t gotten the sepv3 but it’s nice having a better winrate and good teammates that don’t leave after 1 death. If they release the new leo or something next update it’s going to change all over again. I’m hoping to see major winrate changes so this russian bias nonsense can stop already.

It is advisable not to make claims like this too quickly and early

Can’t even use the most recent stats

How is this relevant ingame again? Even if you are right.
Should we make russia’s highest br 11.0 and only have their AA’s up at higher br’s?

Asymmetrical gameplay can be balanced. For example giving multiple spawns and higher SL modifiers to RU tanks. Making the strong NATO tanks more expensive to spawn. More players in RU team. Etc.

War Thunder could always have been a game with historical asymmetrical matchmaking while staying balanced.

Gaijin even did this kind of balancing long ago during historical WW2 events. Germany couldn’t spawn the Tiger/Panther at match start. They had to gain enough SP for it like you do for CAS.

The BR system and mixed teams is just peak laziness to not have to spend time actually doing a team locked balanced experience.

No? It’s because of their CAS, check sim winrates (max 3 tank spawns btw)

Lmao, this is nothing compare to BMPT release.

I entirely missed SEPv3 launch day so idk how many people were playing US at its peak.

Skill helps a lot with that, see my previous screenshot of the 70% WR in my SEPv3. Or does the US stop counting as a NATO nation now?

You really are all ego little skill.

Doesnt matter, even after month the player base on que was insane during BMPT days, to this uptade it was still very high.

Try to invest the time you cry here to get better at the game and it will work out.

It was still RU dominant for non NA queue with most matches being RU + 1-2 nations(usually JAP, UK or CHI) against USA with everybody else. BMPT sales + overwhelming Kh-31PD + new T-90M brought a lot of people to RU top tier.

I haven’t played a massive amount since update, but played a bit with my new chingchong premiums and a few UK matches.
I got matched mostly against Russia paired with Germany and won most of my games.
Wondering where the bias is, i couldn’t find it.

Have you ever considered you have built-in masochist nature.😁

He is not fully wrong though. If SadRIPer actually was as he thinks he is, he would have a 55-70% winrate in a bunch of non-russian high tier vehicles.

Why win rate matter in this game with built-in frustration grind, p2w prem, p2w event vehicles, no SBMM, one side matches, obvious bias to draw ppl to OP stuff??

SadRIPer was the one who made the statement saying he would have incredible winrates if he had the top tier Russian lineup.

All some people, including me, are doing is calling out his cope.
