Serious Balance Issues with Russian Vehicles in War Thunder

Yet they’re provably faster in-game than IRL.
Centurion is double as fast in-game than IRL.
T-80U is notably faster, as is Leopard and Abrams.
There are countless more examples.

Should we add speed governors as a bug report cuz I believe Abraham should go around 42 mph with the governor

I believe it’s more of that there’s not a big enough difference between road speeds and cross-country speeds because cross country Abrams and t80 would be going around 40 km an hour

Abrams is already set with its speed governor in place.
The SEP series dropped the speed to save suspension.

And yes, off-road in WT is really inaccurate.

Just using the Abrams as an example
Also if they made the difference in speeds as significant as they should be it would make roads on maps far more desirable and on some maps a tactical advantage but it would also narrow down where people went in the long run

av7 being superior to every top tier mbt?
you’re really gonna ignore the 2a7hu and the strv122s?

The PARS 3 missiles can’t even effectively kill a Pantsir and you want to compare them to the KH-38??? That’s ridiculous.

Yeah… but why do you think Russia GOT the Pantsir?

They can lol

No they simply just traverse rough terrain far better since gaijin does not model half of what they need to…

Because its there IRL and isn’t an equivalent to aircraft getting more g-tolerance.

G-limiters are there in real life, same as governors.
If one can get ignored for balance and playability, other could as well.

Low tier ground is unbearable for me rn, im trying to grind some german tanks and its all russian tanks im fighting, dont get me started with cas, the yak-9 has to be nerfed

And nowadays we have the Mi-28NM : immortal, with high-speed top-attack missiles that are impossible to dodge or take cover from, one kill for each missile while PARS 3 or Spikes hit the ground or trees almost every time or just get a ‘‘hit’’ even after firing 5 missiles… Congratulations, my friend, that’s all I have to say—you’re absolutely right, lol. God, I love seeing this blatant hypocrisy.

No not hypocrisy. schadenfreude.

haha, Germans now feel the same way USSR had when they got smacked with AGM65s

As any other heli?
They literally meet the new FNF SPAAs

same as basically any new SPAA, especially german one that can hit planes sitting on fields on some maps.

Unbelievably, Mavericks are still way more inconsistent than LMURs, even with a larger explosive mass. It’s almost impossible to pull off 20 kills using Mavericks , but with the LMUR it’s another story. Luckily, Germany and Russia are usually on the same side at top tier. I felt bad for the enemy team—our top frag was sitting on 20 kills in an Mi-28NM…

its balanced… from 10 maches only 8 lose all vs russia

I dont know which part of my message you did answer, so ill just answer yours
Dunno about if they are more inconsistent, as my Challenger and Abrams did survive both hits with LMUR and AGM65. But then again, USSR has a single machine with LMUR, when with any other lineup against it its pretty much everything with AGM65s.

its almost impossible to pull 20 kills in any way.
