Russian Teams Steamrolling NATO - Top Tier is Broken Again?

The same as it was in 2024. Giving Russia special treatment that other nations dont get. Whether that actually manifests in a dominating winrate is a different question.

I’ve seen cases of preferential treatment across the board.

Across the board, sure. The US getting super powerful planes before everyone and the Rafale making top tier borderline unplayable for months are great examples. But you have to pull examples from all 9 other trees to match the treatment Russia gets consistently. The problem is the sheer quantity and in special cases like the KH38MT also the quality.

Sweden received not one but two Leopards that were better than German ones, which lasted for years.
Rafale getting special seeker on MICA while having overperforming and fictional IR Hammer seeker at the same time.
Germany getting FnF helicopter years before others.
M247 was added years ago with HE-VT ammunition while most others were stuck with “normal” rounds with tracers.

Took me like two seconds to give you several examples.

Awesome and you needed 4 Tech trees for your examples which is precisely what im saying. Youll always find a counterexample that suits you but the simple fact that you have to look at multiple trees to give examples to the treatment one tree gets should be a sign that someting is weird.

I’m here saying that other nations get preferential treatment all the time. This Rafale issue paired with Leclercs not getting turret baskets is just a very recent and pretty big example of that. I won’t even start on Japan and their countless fakes.

Can you provide source/explain me why MICA overperform pls? ^^

Yes and my point is that you have to pull examples out of every tech tree to match the preferential treatment just the USSR one gets.
KH38MT - Hammer seeker
SU30SM engine racks - F16AJ
Soyuz - Scharnhorst
FCS not modeled for ru tanks, cuz unfair - leclerc and challenger not having baskets
LDIRCM being stupid - China and USA have that one aswell
LMURs only correctly lofting AGM - indefensible
ERA and Autoloader wonkiness - China has that one too
Buk can function without radar vehicle - japan can do the same
Russia getting R73s and R77-1 vs Aim9Ms and sidegraded Aim 120 C5s - France gets MICA and Magic2
Stingers cant be better than Iglas, because they look similar - ???
(NATO tanks using outdated rounds - not just russia benefits from that)
Do you see the problem?

Not overperforming but getting special seeker, while other missiles are stuck with a generic one.

The Mica doesn’t overperform afaik, but it has been buffed closer to its IRL performance, while other missiles like the R-77s, Pl-12, AAM-4, and 120C-5s are much worse than IRL.

It also has a unique seekerhead that makes it harder to notch, and it’s design of being very good WVR makes it much more suited for the meta. The Rafale has also recieved numerous buffs to it’s FM, and loadout, while the EFT has been nerfed and ignored.

Thx !

That’s the only real problem in there.

So thats your entire takeaway from my comment?

Yes ?
Bias remains to be unseen.

perfect then i can at least be sure that every discussion with you is an utter waste of time and effort.

fictional missile is much worse than extending lock range for a seeker to compensate for no LOAL like it was made for

not really, just randomly adding missiles to a plane that already had a lot vs adding a proposed aircraft (and nerfing it so it wasnt the best plane in the game when added)

more erroneous on MI28 because both the US and chinese ones IRL have more turrets and better angles

forgetting about the massive a historic nerf to all aim120 fin AOA which russia is the only tech tree not effected

also forgetting that they doubled the number of LMURs on the MI28 compared to what every source shows it as being able to use

Friend, this shouldn’t be a static value but dependent on circumstance. 5 sec with ammo door 24 7 open and stationary first few shots i can liv| with. But not 5sec robot on nuke battery
Look i remember even reading one of those reload videos on yt commentaries. The tanker said how they only fire and reload stationary and how the fatigue builds up after 5-8 reloads.
Its a big immersion and balance problem with huge Schwarzenegger reloaders. Machine spirit

Hammer with a 13km lock range seeker is fictional.

Japan never had that F-16 so it’s entirely fictional.

Just like trying to prove bias.

it was buffed to compensate for not having its 70km LOAL range

maybe you should learn to actually read
