Russian Bias: Raw MBT access in the 9.7-10.3BR region

Game Discussion Realistic Battle

Let’s break it down by the numbers, setting aside the fact that armor values and armor packages for Russian T-series are overperforming amongst other things.

Ahem
By the numbers for 9.7-10.3BR…

Russia has 5 MBTs between 9.7-10.3BR
3 Tech Tree - T-64B, T-72B and the 72B 1989 mod
2 Prem - T-72AV Turms and T-80UD

Now, how does everyone else stack up?

USA has only 1 " MBT " - Glorified Tank Destroyer really, but anyways…
Tech tree - 120S

Germany also has only one MBT
Tech tree - Leopard 2K

Britain has 2
Tech tree - Challenger Mk. 2 and the TTD

Japan - Absolutely ZERO

China has 2 MBT options
Tech tree - ZTZ96A
Prem - 96A Prototype

Italy - Like Japan, ZERO

France has only 1 option with essentially no supporting line-up, by the way…
Tech tree - AMX-40

Sweden - Like Italy and Japan, ZERO

Isreal has 2 options just like China, but both are 9.7
Tech tree - Sabra Mk. 1
Prem - Merkava Mk. 2D

As you can see, anyone playing Russia in the 9.7-10.3BR range has an atrocious advantage over EVERY other nation when it comes to MBT access per match, even if you take the premium options entirely out of the equation. It’s an absolute bogus move on Gaijin’s part that such an unbalanced clustershow is allowed to continue to perpetrate and is absolutely disrespectful to the playerbase.

The solution is easily solved by three things;

  1. Uptiering the 10.3 Russian MBTs to 10.7 - Some of them like the T-80UD and Turms should absolutely be 10.7, for immediate example
  2. Downtier the prior uptiered NATO tanks like the Abrams and Leopard 2
  3. Introduce new MBTs for the nations lacking current options if they have options that will fill the gap and provide on-par performance.

The only other option is to give up playing any other nation but Russia, but everyone knows that’s just cringe and a copout. Gaijin needs to get off their hands and actually start giving a proper damn about game balance. And just for the record, for those that may want to bring the 9.3 MBTs into the argument - Russia still has the most access to MBTs between 9.3-10.3BR by the way, so it’s still very much Russian Bias incarnate.

Clearly a proof of Russian bias, numbers is clearly the meaning of superiority compared to quality in War Thunder, like, the Leopard 2K isn’t better than any other USSRs’ tank at its battle rating range. What’s next? USSRs’ CAS is over performing? Never mind, there are tons of threads like that.

Yeah it is proof of Russian Bias. No other nation has access to 5 MBTs within the mentioned BR range like Russia. They don’t even get HALF of that total access.

And like I mentioned, you add in the 9.3BR MBTs and Russia still wins by a large margin. That’s absolutely bias. Whether intentional coddling of Russia by the devs or simple incompetence - It doesn’t matter. What matters is that it exists and it shouldn’t.

I can’t help if you IvanBoos got your head shoved so far down into the sand that you can’t see it and don’t care, but nobody likes you lot for many reasons - Your constant defense-running of Gaijin’s garbage choices that benefit only Russia being one of the main points of contention.

Trying to prove that 10.3 ru tanks are OP and claim that other nations do not have a alot of tanks, but conveniently disregards other nations 10.7 tanks that hard counter 10.3 ru tanks

No other nation gets 6 12.0 MBTs, this must be French bias

I’m not even making my arguments about T-series overperformance. I’m making the argument, which is factual, that Russia has far more MBTs within the 9.7-10.3BR range compared to everyone else and that it is an example of bias. Again, you even add in the 9.3BR tanks for every nation and Russia still beats out everyone, and that this massive discrepancy has continued for some time and Gaijin still does nothing about it.

You want to talk about " mUh 10.7 ToNks "? Hey guess what, bucko. Russia’s 10.7 MBTs slap the absolute dog out of everyone else’s 10.3BR MBTs so you’re making a nonargument. Thanks for playing, I guess.

Cute flag.

Turms is already bad and you want to put it higher in BR?

Lol, no, “old 10.3” went to 10.7 to decompress 9.3, we do not need to revert it. We now need to decompress 10.7 and move 11.7 up.

Yeah, that’s always a good idea

Now I’m going to include 9.3 cause that was obviously intentionally omitted for reasons later in the post, but I’ll specify in each tech tree.

USA:
2 non-premium.
9.3 lineup: 3 + 3.
Germany:
1.
9.3 lineup: 3 + 2, +1* [TAM-2IP].
USSR: 3.
9.3: 3.
Britain: 2 + 1.
9.3: 2 + 1.

Japan’s 9.3 lineup: 2 + 1.
China: 1 + 1.
9.3 lineup: 5, 2 are 9.3 themselves.
Italy: 9.3 Lineup: 3
French: 1.
9.3 lineup: 2 + 1.
Sweden 9.3 lineup: 2 + 1.
Israel: 1 + 1.
9.3 lineup: 5 + 3.

Israel has the most MBTs.

As you can see anyone playing the Soviets have a massive disadvantage as they’ll be facing 9.3s that deal with their tanks using lolpen 105mm DM33 rounds with the exception of T-72B where you need to aim for turret and hull weakspots.

This is the reason GNDM omitted 9.3, because it actually provides the truth that Soviets are at disadvantage.

Turms isn’t bad. It’s simply that idiots play it.

Old 10.3 yet the Turms is still 10.3 when it should’ve also gone to 10.7 and the T-80UD should’ve always been 10.7 so that argument is bogus by default because Gaijin picked and chose by either sheer incompetence or Russian Bias brain.

Yes, we do need more variety.

Last I checked France doesn’t have that many 12.0BR MBTs, completely setting aside the fact that the Leclercs are very poorly modeled because Gaijin.

I don’t understand why they removed the Merkava Mk.2D premium when adding the Merkava Mk.3 premium. Removing a premium vehicle makes them less money.

Because Gaijin likes to get off just enough on FOMO to try and profit off of it.

Yet alot of the FOMO is based around middlin’ vehicles.

Have they even brought it back since removal? And why even do FOMO for Israel? They aren’t even adding a single non-premium to the tree in this patch.

Babe wake up to the fact that Gaijin does handhold Russia more than anyone else.

Or stay asleep and just not post anything at all. Just sayin’.

No idea, and they do FOMO for every nation.

Also, Gaijin hates all the minor nations.
