When they add Su-35 in this game, no one jet its ready for his comming

Oopsie, I saw someone delete his own post. Seems like a weak troll post.

Can we talk about how russian props are balanced?
specifically the entire yak prop line is undertiered by at least 0.3 BR, they are above average on all performance aspects but engine power past +3-5 km and the “small ammo pool” downside of them is barely noticeable since they tend to kill planes with less than 10 rounds, even when shvak shouldn’t be packing so much punch by it’s low amount explosive filler, even compared to contemporary 20mils, only beating the japanese type 99 model 2 20mil he-t round and hispano SAP round.
They are also pretty survivable, able to fly without an entire wing with almost no problem whilst also the downside of wood construction barely coming into play (except ripspeed) since all aircraft in WT are made of paper.

It’s crazy how even the most “trashy” variants can still hold their own easily, how yaks are more common by a mile, even if other options are actually strong planes at their BRs, just not undertiered like them.

Nah RU tank/plane/heli are just mid at best.
You must be coping since your statshark is bad.

The tanks are mediocre to decent/good (but not OP) at higher BRs, and the aircraft are usually solid throughout (with a couple exceptions in both ways throughout the tree).

It’s hard to say there is definitely Russian bias when looking at their air tree and comparing it to the US one.

One screenshot doesn’t make them not mid. I can get similar amount of kills in a Challenger 2 with far more ease lol.

I mean you could also file a post to consolidate your faith on the game balance and look for how many ppl has the same faith as your.

Since the overall aversge K/D of this playerbase is a laughable 0.65ish, there will always be more people with a messed up idea of the game balance.

The T-90M and T-80BVM are just perfect skillcheck tanks for this playerbase. The noobies struggle against them and good players absolutely farm them.

Funny how this is a artificially made one-sided story.
And also, who is benefit here at the end of every single match?

They have mid firepower and mid mobility at best.

Their armor is their only strength, yet that is also easily negated by people with at least 3 braincells. Hence why they are considered skillcheck vehicles.

Then get farmed by Mi28, CAS because its that ez
There is only one ending at most of the cases that you have conveniently never talked about.

As per statshark over the last month, depending on the mode the median is 0.85 / 0.77 / .76 the use of an mean isn’t that powerful when talking about a population due to how the tails of a sample have an outsized impact on the value.

?

Shouldn’t things be balanced around the majority of players?

Do I get any benefit due to normally having a ping in the 250ms+ range?

Is this not tautological; considering you are clearly judging goodness based off K/D. Nor obvious that high skill players will do well regardless to there is less of a reason to balanced based on their performance since they can make anything work?

This guy is just tunnel vision his performance and trying to project his belief on everyone else to have the same circumstance that he has.

genuinely appreciate you for taking the toll on your sanity to do all this, and its frustrating to know that the devs and bvvd wont do shit about it cuz well A. they are russian and only want the Russians to do well cuz of political bullshit (WHICH HAS NO PLACE IN A VIDEO GAME CUNTS!) and B, all the op russian vics make them a fucking LOAD of money if anyone remembers the 2s38 on release. its sad and the state of the game is just fucking disappointing that they dont give a single flying fuck about us, and if they do itll be to silence this replay cuz its hurts their feelings we want a fair and fun game not. Here you go little timmy mommys credit card and youll win most if not all your games!!! :)

on the topic of op vics yes i know its not all russian shit but 9/10 it is the wolfpack is still one of the best premium tanks for the usa tree due to the nice round HOWEVER it WILL PUNISH you unlike the russian tanks where you just eat rounds like its candy

as a vet of nearly 9-10 years the warthunder i grew up with and the one we have today is completely different and my voice as a player isnt heard which is why im never on the forums cuz this shit hole gets us no meaningful changes

Also the M1128 105 Striker currently has a 7.5 seconds because for some baffling reason gaijin decided to use the “average engagement time” instead of the actual reload time? Despite its IRL reload being 6 seconds flat. cant let us nato players just have the shit no no no that would be insane, i honestly dont mind it since the stryker is a good long range picker and 6 seconds would make it much more hated

Meanwhile on the Abrams and Leo 2 your reload is 6.5/7.8 seconds respectively unless you have an Ace crew which takes a lot of grinding that people simply don’t have time for.
And if we really want to be pedantic… 5 seconds is the MAXIMUM time for a loader to qualify on the Abrams AND Leopard 2. If anything the Abrams and Leopard 2 should have standard 5 second reloads that GET BETTER with crew levels but I’m not even asking for that.
the poor leos need a lower reload at this point yeah the armor is manageable but hell a near 8 second reload if era eats a round you just lose and not even cuz you messed up cuz gaijin shitty code decided fuck you

anyway thats my rant maybe ill look back in here for some meaningful convos if you respond (cuz we know damn well the one that brain never grew past the spine will give us one)

Calm tf down, unc

At this point russian MBTs aren’t even considered OP, just hand held so they can somewhat compete

they wouldn’t even be top tier in the first place if Gaijin wanted to stick to reality, but here we are, simply because of that carrousel / spall issue (as well as relikt, let’s be honest)

Russia is busted because of :

  • one missile that was still not proven to exist, equipped with a 3rd gen thermal that by all logic should not exist
  • an helicopter that carries twice as many missile as it should IRL, all the while being immune to all top tier SPAAs that can be lined up against it
  • a tank destroyer with a very convenient “deconnection” of its 2 main belts between the upper turret and the crew
  • 3 of the best SPAAs in the game (and yes, not switching to your buk launcher PESA to spawn camp aircraft and instead complain about the low refresh rate from the main radar is quite ironic coming from people calling out skill issue left, right and center)
  • very strong line ups in each aforementioned category (BMPT x2, SPAAs X3, KH38 slinger i’ve lost count)

Is it balanced and fun ? Nope
Does it even reflect reality even in some little capacity ?
Nope, and the gap between the 2 is quite embarrassing at this point

More recently I’ve been playing 11.7 Britain, and BMPTs correctly struggle against Challenger 2 MBTs.

Of course if I play 12.7 then BMPTs are easy eating, as they’re easily far worse than any other options Soviets can bring for 12.7.

There are tanks that bring up concerns, such as Ariete. Ariete I feel is a tad more difficult to 1v1 BMPTs with, but DM53 first shot should be in Ariete’s favor.

None of the above justify any argument of course.
The cross-analysis shows BMPT is correctly BR’d, which is not my opinion.

BMPT, M4E3E2, IS-4M, etc are all about the same BR above identically armed low-armor tanks.
BMPT is 11.3 while BMP3 is 9.3.
M4E3E2 76 is 5.7 while M4 Sherman is 3.7.
IS-4M is 7.7 while KV-122 is 5.3.

You could argue 11.7 for BMPT still based on this, and that’s a pretty solid argument as well.

Right now, I do not see evidence of BMPT over-performing, and until Statshark adds March to the monthly stats, there’s know way of checking the KDR, or economics of it in March.

Of course, KDR of 1 - 1.5 doesn’t automatically mean OP, after all there are many OP vehicles with KDRs of 0.9 on Statshark.

Yet again, same text same noises
