Russian Bias in 2026?

gaijin is again at it… while removing bmpts from 10_2 lineup after few months of outrage and nearly 90% win rate and milking it to the bone, they added there T72B3 arena… top armored top dart T72 with hard kill APS… russia (irl technologically suffering) is only nation with APS in 9_2 and 10_2 lineups… not to mention that T72 with top shell and best armor with APS vs those few IFV that have some degree of ATGM (which is at most absolutely trash because it gets stopped even by Kontakt-5) and Leopard A4 or M1 (yes that one with paper armor and 105 gun). Add Leo A5 and, M1A2 and Challenger 2 (another one) or just remove Arena from there… iam sick of your “balance” when russia gets best of best vs mediocre which in most cases doesn’t even work in game because you absolutely cannot model it properly (spike, nato NERA or armor)

Top armored?
T-72B’s armor is at 10.3…
The APS will only primarily protect against ATGMs and HEAT projectiles.

M1A2 is so infinitely superior to T-72B3 Arena it’s not even funny.

there is why hate russian “biass” on perfect shot no nera hitted and the autoloader eat spalling from ammo and crew…+ other t 80 storred me in turret no pen but i die… yeah dont fix the game…








Ah yes, no ammo explosion and the autoloader that’s very closely bound to the horizontal and vertical drive, breach control and some other components has no effect on them :)

yes irl not ingame

lol Sorry, but M1A2 is superior to your precious T-series tanks.
There’s a reason I’ve witnessed more turrets fly in War Thunder than has occurred in history.

yes Abrams are infact superior than my “precious T tanks” in real life but not in game.

In game as well. Even the base M1A2 is better than any of the T-series in game.

Only the BVM comes close.

Well, your posts can keep shilling for Soviet tanks all you want, but that won’t change reality.
M1A2 is superior, and you’ll never have evidence to prove otherwise.

Da… absolutely comrade. Do you feel it comrade? The patriotic radiation is spreading globally.

Youre joking lol. No game can 100% simulate real life. WT is not even close to that.

War Thunder does not 100% simulate real life, and?
War Thunder doesn’t need to be the hypothetical perfect simulator, because its dozens of competitors are worse than it.
M1A2 is vastly more mobile, has good armor, fires the best MBT round in the game from the 2nd best gun in the game, etc.

All War Thunder needs to do is continue being impartial & continue improving.

Ok great we agree that WT is not infact the most realistic game. Therefore your statement you said

did not make sense. I agree with you that the Abrams is the best tank-- but only in real life.

AlvisWisla I never hated the abrams, youre just making stuff up. Most people and youtubers agree that the abrams is much weaker in game than irl. I also updated my reply to you aswell

It’s weaker in game than IRL sure, but so are tanks like the 2A7V.

Yet even in it’s current weaker state it is already one of the better top tier tanks and easily beats any and all of the 11.0+ T-series.

Pretty sure people over estimate how good the abrams is while also under estimating what a person can do with a t series. At least when it come to random battles.

Like for instance i was able to get a 10 kill game with the t80B in an uptier on eastern europe. got shot multiple times while going from ditch to ditch but was able to survive thanks to the Armour.
Now, if i had the base abrams, i could probably do the same, But the minute anyone shoots you anywhere but the cheeks, the turret basket screws you over and thats the end of it.

Now i’ve also had a 10 +kill game with the abrams on advance to the rhine by camping and holding 2 lanes. Thanks to the turret traverse and slightly faster reload. It was something a t series could probably never keep up with.

So while T-series are worse than the abrams, its only just a little. Abrams get more leeway in more situations, T series are better in more specific situations.

I disagree, the Abrams gets underestimated more than anything.

You are right for a large part. The Abrams has a higher skill floor than the T-80 at most BRs. However what a lot of people don’t get or don’t want to believe is that the skill ceiling of the Abrams is also so much higher.

All tanks are weaker and stronger in War Thunder than IRL.
Mobility and aiming is stronger in-game than IRL.
Surviving is stronger IRL than in-game.
And this is a universal rule for all tanks in-game.

The Abrams is the 2nd best tank series in War Thunder, only beaten by the Leopard 2A5+ series.
