Russian Bias in 2026?

To be fair, if you look at Russia at 11ish on feb it’s definitely busted

Lofting isn’t RNG, and things should loft correctly IMO regardless of the nation that missile is used by.
The “RNG” would be the random point in a circle all F&F missiles have, which is an improvement over their previous code which was hit center mass every time.

I call it RNG nd it seems coded. years back a guy compared the files responsible for penetration values and PROPABILITYS to pen. there were values differently aplied even though it was the same armor that he checked and the same ammunition used aswell angles and such. So yea thats RNG if a propability values excist that differs from another nation but has the identical basic values in protection.

So is this Italy bias?

(All played at 12.7-13.0 too btw since I have the 2A7HU in my lineup.)

Wow man, “rigged” stats that now what we’re calling the literal compiled data of hundreds of thousands of games played by us, the players just because it doesn’t suit your narative?

Funnily, I lost about 70 percent of my games as russia and china last night yet won most my games of Italy and France.
between 9.7 and 12.7.

Got a source to show whos queuing for what lol xD

quick way to make your arguments seem super biased is ignore anything which doesn’t fit the narrative isn’t it.
Sad told me a week or so ago he was gonna ignore anything I say cause I’m a russian main xD

If you do not believe it then it’s you’re own fault mate.

I’ve played against, and with my russian lineups at these BRs and it’s quite difficult to actally win games xD
Italy and France have always been the two major outliers in the game before statshark thunderskill showed them being above most nations win rates.

Russian, German and US win rates have always sat sort of around one another.

Thunderskill is beyond outdated.

Russian Bias? really??I mainly play for Russia and I don’t enjoy the game. Mainly the T72 tanks are junk. You can’t play with them, they have too high Br and they play nonstop against Leopards at 10.7Br. I don’t understand why the T72B has 10.3Br when it doesn’t have zoom, thermal vision, reverse, or gun depression!! and armor that can shoot through a FALCON head-on with ammunition that has 60mm penetration and even a FALCON can shoot through me head-on in my T80U! Russian armor doesn’t work!
look on video with BUG ARMOR on T80U-E1- TikTok - Make Your Day

Minor nations doing really well just proves after veterans finish a tree they usually play the other trees with better map knowledge, tank awareness and braincells they developed. Not saying big nations in war thunder are awful but realistically all the noobs congregated there.

BMPTs struggle because the average BMPT player has grown so catastrophically incompetent because of being handheld by a broken vehicle that they forgot where the damn weakspots are, which they barely even have to aim for because of their rate of fire.

Everyone is so caught up in their own specific statistics that they don’t realize that statshark is showing an average, which is what makes it important. Statistically an average player is going to do better in a Russian line-up at 10.3+ than any other nation for almost all BRs until the 2 top tier steps and that is because their lineups are generally stronger out of the box. For example, a level 1 crew BVM is going to have good armor with a middle of the pack round, a 6s autoloader, and above average turret handling. In comparison, a level 1 crew SEPV2 has solid armor (minus the turret ring) with a good round and very good mobility but has a 6.5s manual loader with above average turret handling (still worse than the BVM).

The SEPV2 is an absolutely amazing tank when given to an above average player and an Aced crew while the BVM doesn’t get nearly the same benefit from those same crew levels. However, the average player doesn’t have an Aced crew, if even an Expert crew, which makes the BVM stronger out of the box. This compounds to other options within the lineup - the BMPT is strong even when it’s completely stock, let alone when spaded, but the crew levels obviously don’t do as much as they would for other tanks. The KH38 is the strongest AGM and even an average player can belt off 6 of them before they get hit by an opposing SAM, and because of the missile’s ballistic capabilities, there is a high chance those missiles will still hit and take out 1/3rd of the enemy team. The LMUR provides similar capabilities, while you only get half the FnF load, the missiles themselves are vastly stronger than the competition and will still give the average player a much higher kill chance in comparison.

“Russian Bias” (imo) isn’t that Russian systems are drastically better than everything else, it’s that they’re much better than everything else in the average players hand, and in a game that has literally 0 matchmaking rules, the average player takes the reigns of each match. This leads to a noticeable skew because even the best players cannot defeat a wave of enemies after the other team’s average players roll over your team’s average players.

The BMPT is the one outlier to all of this as it is just that strong. While not unkillable, it does completely invalidate a swath of vehicles in the BRs it can face.

I just don’t believe there is anyone here that jumps into a game at 10.3+, sees the Russian flag on the other team, and thinks that the game is going to go better than if the Russian flag was on your team.

Russian bias exists. The PUMA gets nerfed while the BMPT gets buffed. They prefer keeping the BMPT dominant below 11.3 instead of adding an adjustable RPM, which is the only thing that would make the competition fair.

He had ammo, but I’ve been saying that for months : russian autoloaders eat DARTs without exploading.

It’s straight bias af

Just played a 13.0 GRB game alongwith Russia + Germany. Killed everyone and spawncamped the whole ennemy team in literally what, less than 1m30s ? They rushed the points like crazy. I saw the scores : 10 9 9 7 6 5 5 5 4 3 2 1 then list of 0 and 1.

Ennemy score : 6 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 000000000.

Russia speedruns the wins at top tier without a single sweat.

Played 8.3 Germany, bounced the back of a t54 turret with a 400mm heat shell. It’s that kind of crap making me say everything’s in this game is made to advantage Russia, throughout the BRs

EDIT : no, the angle/zone where the shell hit weren’t weird. Also, look at armor simulation for the t54 back turret vs leo 1 heat shell. Everything is literally green, whatever the angle is (it was a 15m distance shot lol)

“You can lolpen T-90M!” - Your post’s rationale.

I like how you showcase the Challenger 2 TES without its front armor and not angled, and it’s still bouncing autocannon rounds on the turret ring and LFP.

Your post’s shilling for Russian equipment is the most ridiculous I’ve seen.

“You have to be [redacted] if you can’t frag a BMPT with these weakspots!” - Your post’s rationale.

Check the roof of the turret very very carefully before making absurd claims.

If your turret is angled to the enemy while you’re trying to shoot them I would review your aiming habits. There is a reason I pointed out the two blatant turret weakspots first. Oh also that invalidates the TES point, because that doesn’t protect the turret.

Russian top tier literally has the best air to air missile, air to ground missile, ground to air missile

Don’t forget ground to ground missile as well (spikes/mmps suck)

Hulls aren’t turrets, Metaltank. Not sure why you’re claiming otherwise.

Pixel hunting tanks isn’t a valid tactic, otherwise you are also claiming BMPT is weak to BMPT, which makes it weak to all MBTs extrapolating those arguments.

You didn’t point out any turret weakspots.
You pointed out 2 strong hull spots against auto cannon ammunition, which is without the external armor.

And your post pointed out one, singular, pixel spot smaller than the T-90M’s driver’s port.

So which is it?
Are you claiming the BMPT is weak so you can claim Challenger 2 TES is weak against it?
Or are you admitting Challenger 2 is extremely resilient against BMPT so you can agree with myself and others that BMPT is strongly armored?

You can’t hold two contradictory views for long.

And boy did you pixel hunt…



And two of the three weakspots I showed were on the turret

???

2 on the turret, that first image is beneath the gun, not on the driver’s hatch.

Wrong tank. Not the one I showed. Also the external armour still doesn’t protect the turret.

Also if you knew anything about weakspots on the chally you’d know the TES’ composite block doesn’t actually protect the entire LFP, and if you shoot low and centre you can still hit it and deal significant damage.

It’s pretty damn big for a spot 20mm thick.

None of this is worth responding to.

Move the first shot left, the second down just below the composite block, and the third 3 inches left and 2 inches up. Also even if I were “pixel hunting”, at 550rpm that autocannon is pixel hunting harder than I ever would be able to.

There is no Challenger 2 in-game without Dorchester 2 armor when spaded.

Either way, your posts’ shilling for Russian equipment and trashing on British equipment.
Overtly omitting British armor, and pixel hunting to make your favorite tank seem stronger offensively than it actually is.

I’m not going to entertain your new goalposts, I’ve already made my point.
I hope to see you in your BMPT when I’m my Chally 2s.
