@BabySoEz

Who doesn’t like to be aggressive regardless nations?

Like puppies who push once a blue moon ? Who have no concept of pushing and only play passively ? And even when they play passively they picked the worst possible position trying to get cheap kill and contribute nothing ?

Or people who know that the enemy team have control most of the map and their team unable to push for shit and they have to fall back and wait for the horde to rush forward ?

Yeah lmao people surely want to play aggressively , too bad Gaijin and their russian biased stopping them from doing so

I love playing top tier with teams that take map control.

Sadly most of my teams, no matter what nations I have on my side, seems content with setting up a defensive perimiter 200m away from our spawn.

Abrams is one of the most fun MBTs to play (semi-)aggressive

and would still get farmed by an Mi28NM

17/8/10 kills. Fighting Russia at 12.7 GRB, cool huh ?

Russian Bias in 2026?

I’ve seen a lot of discussion in the forums about 10.7-12.7 GRB balance and have felt the desperation of NATO players first hand. After seeing this post and agreeing whole heartedly… I decided to run 20 full games at 10.7 with the USA lineup (M1 Abrams, M1KVT, M10 Booker, 120S, M1128 wolfpack, TT M1128, and an F5C) to test my win rates… I even took some notes on the 20 games for transparency. For the record: In all of these games I exhausted all Spawn Points, and whether I did bad or not, I did…

Please refer to this post. This guy is a real Chad and took the time to develop his thoughts after checking the bias by himself.

The bias does exist, it’s not paranoia.

Wait, didn’t you uninstall yesterday?

The Pantsir SM-SV is Simply Too Strong, Russian Bias as Clear as Day

This. I uninstalled yesterday, I’ll probably come back once infantry mode is released. Maybe it’s the only solution for the game to be balanced again (plot twist : they might find a trick to give Russia the bias again).

Well the battle that this screenshot is from was played today at 17:07 CET, so about 4 hours ago.

So either you talk a lot of crap or Gaijin got their hooks deep in you lmao.

Uninstalled war thunder shortcut on desktop

[SadRIPer]

They do indeed, I reinstalled because I’m addicted.

I got matched up several times alongwith Russia today and got some wins, maybe they figured it out and turned on the easy mode for me.

I think… this game is like this… accept that it’s made by Russians, so Russia must be strong. We’ll never know if the ammunition of the next Russian tank will explode, we’ll never know what kind of CAS weapons the next Russian aircraft will carry, and we’ll never know how fast the missiles of the next Russian SPAA will be

[小小格温大受影响]

Maybe at june. SU35 use KH31 and R77M destroy air and ground any thing .This is the reason they gave for the AIM-120D to the USA
F15EX will be like a clown in a circus .You need to submit tens of thousands of reports. Only after Russia acquires more powerful CAS weapons will the USA be able to obtain the GBU53

@小小格温大受影响

ccept that it’s made by Russians, so Russia must be strong.

While i think that there are for sure some elements in the dev team and especially the bug report team that think like this there is a much easier explanation. The ussr tree is the most popular one and judging by the premium playrates also insanely profitable. Keeping russia unreasonably strong makes their biggest customer base happy and maybe even baits the rest into buying into the russian tree.

No Because in terms of the number of games, Germany ranks second in popularity for advanced vehicles. If Gaijin believes that the reason for a team to make money is to maintain its strength, then the nerf of the German Leopard 2 (with the only 6-second reload in NATO) and the scarcity of new vehicles cannot explain this

[小小格温大受影响]

The top teams in Germany have had an average winning rate of less than 45% for six consecutive months, and Germany has only managed to obtain a few laughable Boxer

Ofc it can, nerfing Germany and not giving them good vehicles indirectly makes russia stronger. Its not a coincidence that russias winrate suffered the most when Germany was performing exceptionally well after the IRIS T SLM addition. And its also very lucky for russia that just one update after that addition they got the perfect counter to it in the form of the MI28NM

[小小格温大受影响]

However, this is somewhat reversed. It’s that players choose the strongest country first; rather, it’s not that a country is strengthened because the player chose it.

E-sport ready

The number of players in China is several times that of Sweden. However, once upon a time, Sweden was as powerful as Russia. And before the arrival of Z10ME and M1A2T, the Chinese teams were very poor

[H_ngma]

Its both. russia has always been a popular tree but until recently they didnt need all the artificial pampering to stay competetive and now its essentially a vicious circle of: making russia unreasonably powerful → more people play it → Gaijin caters towards its biggest playerbase → rinse and repeat.

[小小格温大受影响]

Yes until the number of Russian players became so large that they formed a queue that blocked the way

[adrianstu_98]

i like playing russia, but what they are doing with the game is a shame. is not fear and a pay to win
