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

I have just enough ego to deal with the egotism of IvanBoos here in the forums. No more, no less. If that hurts your feelings, well, that’s just too bad for you.

Whining, you say? If you consider pointing out obvious bias where it lies in the game as whining then your definition of whining is both objectively and subjectively dogwater and I suggest you pick up a dictionary and relearn what the word means.

Cute flag. Keep coping.

K buddy. You can keep coping till it lays you 6 feet under.

What makes Russia 9.7-10.3 more worthy of being talked about in bias discussions? Why can’t other nations be talked about in the same way because they have alot of vehicles in a certain BR range?

I’d copy and paste exactly what you said in your first post, but that would take too long to change to all other nations.

Is anyone who plays Russia one of those?

I genuinely have no idea why this is even a topic worth discussing. Some nations have more stuff at some BRs than others, this isn’t unique to Russia.

Point out where my coping was :)
Most of what I said here was just responding to your claims.

You can point to a bunch of other BRs where nations have more tanks than others - it doesn’t mean there’s bias towards that nation.

Britain has a lot of vehicles between 8.3-8.7 (12) does that mean there’s British bias? Britain is my most played TT and I can say for a fact no. The lineup is great but you have to also examine all the vehicles individually to see if they are OP. In this (Britain’s) case, the vehicles are good but not OP.

Lets also point out that he cherry-picks 9.7-10.3, and not 9.7-10.7. Most NATO 10.X lineups are 10.7 but it doesn’t suit his argument so he can’t point it out.

Nevermind that comment, look below.

Let’s break it down by the numbers, setting aside the fact that armor values and armor packages for Israeli Magachs are overperforming amongst other things.

Ahem
By the numbers for 8.7-9.3BR…

Israel has 13 MBTs between 8.7-9.3BR
11 Tech Tree - Magach 6R, 6B, Hydra, 6M, 6C, 7C, Gal Batash, Sho’t Kal Gimel, Tiran 6, Merkava 1B and 2B.
2 Prem/Squadron- Sho’t Kal Dalet, Magach 6B Gal

Now, how does everyone else stack up?

USA has only 8, M60A1 RISE, M60A3 TTS, XM803, MBT-70, and the non TT XM-1 GM/Chrysler, and the 2 Merkavas.

Germany also has only 7 MBTs
Tech tree - Kpz-70, M48 Super, T-72M1, Leo 1A1, Leo 1A5
Non tech tree - Leo A1A1, C2A1

Britain has 5
Tech tree - Chieftain 3, 5, 10,
Non tech tree - Khalid, Shir 2

Japan has 3, Type 74 E, F, G

China has 7 MBT options
Tech tree - M60A3 TTS, CM11, ZTZ88B, A, ZTZ96
Prem - T-69 II G, Obj-122

Italy has 4
Tech tree - OF-40 Mk2A, Leo 1A5, T-72M1
Prem - OF-40

France has only 5 options with a good supporting line-up, by the way…
Tech tree - AMX-30B2, Brenus, AMX-32 105, 120
Prem - AMX-30 Super

Sweden - Like Italy and Japan, MULTIPLE
Tech tree - Strv 104, 103C, 105, T-55M, T-72M1
Prem - Leo 1A5NO2

Russia has 7 options just like China
Tech tree - T-62, 62M-1, T-72A, Obj 435, T-64A
Prem - T-55AM-1

As you can see, anyone playing Israel in the 8.7-9.3BR 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 only other option is to give up playing any other nation but Israel, 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 8.3 MBTs into the argument - Israel still has the most access to MBTs between8.3-9.3BR by the way, so it’s still very much Israeli Bias incarnate.

Or the fact that other nations have a ton of tanks at other BRs, but clearly 9.7-10.3 matters the most because Russia has multiple mediocre MBTs.

I don’t know how to tactfully deal with false accusations.

-Complain about community not supporting his ideas
-Complain about game dev being biased toward one single nation cause he said so
-Complain when his favourite nation vehicle doesn’t auto deflect everything and give him auto win
-Continue to play anyway
Ok bro

My boy out here getting his toes wet in some US recently bravo. A little bit over shadowed by them Russian tanks but still kudos for you going 0-1 in the m1a2 at least. Better then some of the others could say.

He obviously doesn’t care about other nations getting the same treatment elsewhere, he’s just laser focused on USSR for some weird reason. I still wait for his thread about 8.3 - 9.3 Israel bias to pop out, but I guess it’s fine when other nations have much more MBT options.

USSR having something = OMG!!! Bias proof #2136
Non-USSR nation having the same thing elsewhere = Hehe just a funni Gaijin mishap, nothing to see here people, let’s move on

Its the same with non-USSR autoloaders eating spall;

Nobody complains when you shoot the ammo rack of under-BR’d KPz/MBT-70, XM803, and the toptier Leclerc, Type 90, etc. and your 400mm pen dart gets somehow eaten by the stupid rectangular autoloader box thing and doesn’t hit ammo, which actually is very broken as even the autoloader model on USSR tanks don’t eat shells.

But the forum goes up in flames because, surprise surprise, modelling the autoloader means there’s SOMETHING THERE TO STOP SPALL!

I wouldn’t blame them , since the tank that you gonna be hitting in the ammo the most is the T series and the Chinese tank but unfortunately , the T series belong to a nation that used to be on the Red side. Meaning even if the case is the ammo actually explode like 98% of the time, that 2% still gonna be brought up and heavily. And with the top tier USSR tank got decent amour and their shell didn’t autopen and kill the tank. They will cry about it, the confirmation biased is usually strong in military sim game for whatever reason. We got people calling for the nerf of Su-34 and Pantsir or even outright remove them , yet at the same time calling for the Brimstone to get it FnF ability , ignoring that CAS is still stupidly strong no matter what side they are on. It just that unfortunately the strongest CAS and the only workable SPAA is on the USSR
This playerbase sometime is extremely pathetic in their reasoning for nerfing Russia
