yes this qoute works both ways. its pretty hard to change opinion to “stalinium” “russian bias” believers or non believers. As i said before, for me the fact that the vast majority of complainings are about russian tanks on media and forums means something…
Are all of the complainings correct ? ofcourse not .
Are there people that complaining who have other reasons for doing that (empathy , political…) ? ofcourse yes.
Is this happening to other nations too? ofcourse yes , but all of these above should affect equally all nations and thus the complainings should be more balanced at least for the " big 3" (russia, usa, germany) but this is not happening.
ive played russia , germany, uk and sweden of the 4 if any is overpowered its germany, the uk is practically useless as without explosive rounds, only having ballistic cap rounds, you have to put a minimum of three shots in to stand a chance of killing anything, IF it penetrates. at least with sweden you get the option of explosive rounds after youve been a lamb to the slaughter for the first 50 games.
russia is a frustrating branch, get your track shot off whilke driving over a brick and thats you done, you cant aim low enough to hit anything unless you can repair your tank before being killed.
germany appears to have the best of all worlds, high pen capability, explosive rounds, negative angle of fire, half decent armour, except the tiger which is a joke, you wouldnt think that with it being probably the most feared tank of ww2, famous for being unstoppable…
of the whole game i find the chinese/japanese tanks to be op armour wise, trying to pen the ho ho or the he he or the oh hi is nigh on impossible.
the italian range appears to have op rounds, whatever the ‘grenata’ is, if its coming your way your dead whatever, not bad considering italy never won a war.
same with the french range of tanks
of them all the most easily destroyed tanks are the ones im driving, unless someone else is driving them, at which point they are unstoppable.
if any bias exists id say its a me bias, probably because im ftp and dont pay to play, therefore i get penned when it should bounce, and mine bounce when they should have penned.
I agree with some things you said but for me the question remains answered … " why the vast majority of the complainings are for russian bias on media and forums?"
maybe is simply a case of they heard russian bias somewhere and are repeating it.
i hear it, but i dont believe it, simply because ive played the russian line.
against a GOOD player who knows where to aim, where to shoot, they are no better than any other good range of tanks.
i would argue there is more of an american bias, the T1E6, the M4a3e2, they are ridiculously armoured and nigh on impossible to kill front on

???
The explosion point is different than the penetration point even in the server replay, but in both cases (upper or lower) there should be a damage …
upper point
lower point
Why don’t you create a topic asking for players to show their best stalinum videos ? I wish I had kept mine.I sort of main Russia but even I have to laugh sometimes at the T34 : )

There are plenty of that videos on youtube by other players, with the vast majority concerning russian tanks but very little things have changed…just some battle ratings changes from time to time…

On the other hand when russian tanks shoot you…despite that the shell hits ground and changes totally direction , my tank magically is one shot kill…
All screenshots are from the server replay.
Other camera of the shell ricochet to the ground (server replay again)

Games have bugs you know…
It isn’t, best tank of the war was the Sherman or Tiger.
In terms of what
Survivability, Armour and Quality of the manufactory. In real life T-34 where bad welded, many manufactory fails, etc.
Tigers broke down like they were made in china though

Actually no, that’s more a myth, Tigers didn’t broke down that much. They where designed to medium to large combat, 500 - 1500m, they didn’t broke down that much wathever, they didn’t need to do sharply movements, etc.
