About the war thunder community.
Why is the war thunder community so blatantly hateful towards Russian equipment? Here is a bit of proof, two posts I have made, informational, one about an American aircraft, then one about a Russian/Soviet Rotorcraft, the stark difference in the posts were their performance.
NA-R OV-10D+ post:
K-DB KA-50 post:
Is this correct, or are people simply un-interested in Russian equipment?
Th Ka-50 is very hated with the ground community, the bronco is something people want to see come to the game so that could explain the stark difference in the post. if you compared it say the mig 35 or the su-35 you would have a lot more interaction than the KA-50.
( this part is just me speculating ) The US has a long and very public use of different aircraft in different wars with a lot of TV shows and enthusiasts making shows about them and also the amount exported to other countries. This puts a lot of the US machines in center stage. Playing WT ive found out about vehicles ive never heard of before and i go down the rabbit hole on them and i think its rather fun and interesting. Most the the Soviet stuff was very secretive back in the day so besides the MI-24 that was in Rambo we didnt really see much of the soviet stuff
English forum, English speakers, so much higher proportion of Americans than Russians. Plus the silly idea of “Russian Bias” perpetuated for a similar reason- Americans and Brits make up a significant proportion of the English forum users and are much more likely to play their home nation than the Russian tree.
