Again, that doesn’t make Russian CAS any less broken, simply harder to spawn the broken vehicle compared to SB. The new Pantsir is just going to make this problem so much worse by giving the best AA for the current meta to the best CAS nation.
Gaijin isn’t dumb, they know this and did this knowingly. Exactly the same way the LMUR was added day 1 with the correct top down flight path while the JAGM has the same underperforming flight path as the Hellfire, itself being bug reported for years.
You have to be the king of the gullibles to not see Gaijin has been doing Russian favoritism.
You’re wrong. In RB, the Mi-28NM went from 48% winrate in august 2025 to 63% winrate in October 2025, and 60% winrate in November. It has then comfortably stayed at 56% and will go up for sure now that the new Pantsir is there to shut down LDIRCM heli gameplay for anybody not russia.
That 63% is as always with non Russian players dilluting the amount of Mi-28NM so it would be higher with Russia only teams, which says a lot about how cracked the Mi-28NM is, even in RB.
If a jump from 48% winrate to 63% isn’t a cause of concern for you, then yeah. This conversation is pointless.
You’re avoiding any problematic point I’m bringing like LMUR flightpath vs JAGM and others. Hell, even the hilarious LDIRCM frontal zone on the Mi-28NM out of an emitter that doesn’t exist.
It’s not hard to admit Gaijin is artificially buffing top tier Russia out of favoritism as of late. They’re a hundred million $ profit company. They’re not stupid. It’s on purpose when they trash the JAGM but give pristine performance to the LMUR.
It’s not like BVVD is personally paying you to defend the honor of Gaijin.
If they want $$$, just model very powerful vehicles in every nations
The game is played worldwide, they have the opportunity to make big money giving incredible vehicles to every players worldwide. But they just give the bias to Russia, I don’t get it.
My theory is that there is one or a few lead devs at Gaijin who are hardcore Pro-Russians and/or big believers that Russian technology is superior to all. Might not even be BVVD himself but simply one OG dev in a strategical leadership spot in the studio. Other devs either don’t care enough to say anything about it or can’t say anything about it due to his leadership role.
Eugen, the French studio behind Wargame/WARNO, had that exact situation at some point. One of the lead OG devs was very pro-France and gave nonsense buffs to France as a result even though part of the studio wasn’t in agreement with that.
I met many Russian individuals of this type during my travels to Eastern Europe + those I met online. They truly believe stuff made in the West is inferior to anything made in Russia. This is exactly how you end up with situations in War Thunder where the Stinger is nerfed solely because they don’t believe it can pull more G than the Igla. Or how manufacturer information bug report on the EF-2000 is denied by calling it ‘Marketing lies’.
It’s not even malice really, just what they truly believe deep down.
No need for the tinfoil hat. The russian tree is the most played in the game by quite a good margin and judging by the insane premium numbers also quite profitable, keeping them artificially strong is plain and simply good business for Gaijin.
Considering the amount of sketchy buffs Russia has received over the years, and this behavior from Gaijin being ancient, I’m not sure bro.
I still remember the time when APDS had a massive penetration drop above a certain angle that, by sheer coincidence as always, was the exact angle of the T-62 or T-55 UFP(don’t remember exactly which one it was). This APDS hidden nerf was later datamined and only removed then due to community push.
Or when Russian tanks, by coincidence again, had more barrel health than other nations.
Or when the MiG-19 was first added with an absolute UFO flight model capable of supercruising(It had like no drag value). That lasted for months and playing the F-100D during all that time was CBT. And so on, and so on.
USSR is the most played tree in the game partly due to how strong it always is. People want to win so they’ll flock to the tree perceived as the strongest. Like, the Rafale has more matches last month than the F-15C GE, despite the US being one of the big three.
They’re internal tests carried out for design/procurement/upgrade purposes, not for selling.
You’re genuinely just coping.
You`ll be the first one to say “Its not proven because NII STALI tells lies!!!” if we reverse that
?
I’m talking about actual FIRING TRIALS carried out INTERNALLY by the producer AND the defense ministry AS DEMANDED by the MILITARY due to their ONGOING UPGRADE/PRODUCTION needs, not about a COMPANY talking about something very vaguely.
The reason why Leopard 2s don’t have their real armors? There’s a dev at Gaijin who doesn’t think it’s possible even when looking at Swedish Trials, which is why, even when compared to the data from that, which was for a Leopard 2A5 prototype, tanks newer than the prototype have got worse armor
)))
Believe me, your theories are most likely in 99.9% correct more often than not about the devs.
I know for a fact that was the reason as to why the Type 10 ended up with such weak frontal armor. Back when it was first added, one of the devs on the old RU forum straight up said he didn’t think the Type 10 could realistically have strong armor because of its weight. He went on about how it was a bad tank and all that.
He confirmed that this is why he modeled the armor the way he did in game. Honestly, reading his posts back then was kind of wild, the guy clearly had a massive hate hardon against the Type 10. No clue if he’s still at Gaijin, but it definitely says something.
I have also felt like there are one or more people among the lead team that are massive Hornet/Super Hornet fanboys, which would explain Gaijin’s love for the Hornets and some inconsistent decisions regarding these planes.
