How can both CAS and its counter be the issue?
Because said counter exists only in one tech tree which conveniently also has the arguably strongest CAS.

CAS dominance overall and the fact there’s nothing like the SM-SV in other trees.
Which lead to Russia doing really well.
The tanks are not the issue, you can see this from looking at winrates before the CAS got so much more powerful (tank meta hasn’t changed significantly since then)

Russian having the best CAS is such a forced meme, the missiles are good and that’s it, it doesn’t carry many of them, to employ them properly they have to fly high and be exposed to literally every SAM in game.
Meanwhile F15E, Griphen and Eurofighter are way better since they can fly low and dump massive payloads from close range or from an angle the pantsir can hardly hit.
The Mi28NM is the only saving grace and right now it’s under performing a lot.
Because the USSR has the best of both, even if their tanks are horrible
Pure fiction.
Simply the best air to ground munition in the game.
Literally R-27ER vs AIM-7F levels of strength.
The Su-30s are insanely powerful as CAS.
Yes, other nations have great CAS too, but Russia is stupidly strong in this regard

Its almost like the quality of weapons is the bread an butter of CAS…
Uhm no? You can pop up and shoot from close range with an SU30 as well and you can do it better since youre not burdened by a Mach 1 release limit and your missile is actually fast so its even harder to intercept from close range. (and then were not even talking about the difference in ARMs.)
Underperforming by what standard exactly? Its literally the single best performing heli rn and its overperforming massively over what should be its realistic performance.

A) You dont own and have never played a single vehicle you are talking about.
B) They are not way better
C) Dump massive slow payloads able to be intercepted by anyone with eyes
D) Pantsir has an 85 degree (SM SV is 90) radar ceiling. It has 90 degree scan cone with search radar and built in NCTR for fast target identification + 4 missile DL.
Unless the maverick, SLAMER or bomb has been released from such a close range where he couldnt react fast enough to intercept it, failing to do so in the hands down best SACLOS vehicle is an immeasurable skill issue and not the fault of the vehicle.
Ah yes ofcourse. The saving grace thats overperforming in its BELLY mounted LDIRCM meant for MANPADs protecting it from threats coming in from ABOVE the helicopter and with the RCS of a banana ducktaped to a baloon.
If youre not performing well in the Mi28NM in the current top tier climate then the issue is entirely on you and noone else. In other words, you are incompetent.

I had to go back to the start of the thread because you said it “aged like fine wine.” Today, almost a year later, the US dominates everything thanks to the SEP v3 hype and the general improvements to the Abrams; that’s why they have a high win rate and are the most played faction. But according to some people here, it’s all the fault of “rUsIAN TAnKs i NoT WaNt GetTiNg KiLLed By RuZZian buaaaa buaaaaa.”

These are people that still insist in engaging Zeros in low speed, low alt. turn fights in P-51/47s, what do you expect?

Like idk what you are talking about. Russia is literally just being hard carried by utterly broken CAS. Updates where better SPAAs were added that could combat it were literally updates where russia fell on its ass.
You can literally see how it went pre-SLM, post-SLM and pre-LMURs, post-LMURs, etc.
And the funniest thing to me that makes me genuinely laugh is that USA has over the course of just the last year generally stayed below 50% or just barely reached 50% WR, yet the second USA starts actually doing well (this update) after getting a tank thats able to somewhat combat its greatest threat being CAS people start saying how OP and broken it is. Its almost like selective memory at this point.

I never said the US was strong, or that it was too weak; in reality, nobody will find a single post of mine saying that about any nation, lol.
Are they? The June stats tell a different story, here we have still 33% of 12.7 games played by russia compared to the US 21% and in 11.7+ total russia is at 34% compared to the US 26%. Its up by quite a lot from May but still doesnt seem to hit russian playrates.
And you know why? Because I actually know how to play. I don’t hide like a scared little girl, crying and afraid the Russians are going to come to my house to get me. This game has very serious issues, and believe me aside from “Russian Bias” being something made up by a tiny fraction of the player base, it isn’t the real problem; it’s just a real-life prejudice brought into the game.
Which is great… unless you want to actually play tanks in TANK battles…
