Shoot the either the head’s sides or front barrel area, and the commander breech, it’s most Sherman’s it’s weak spot.
And is that because it happens more, or they’re more likely to notice and post about it because they’ve been told that Russian tanks bounce more due to “bias”? First of all, we’re already ignoring most bounces that happen in game, as for a clip to be “counted” by you, it has to be experienced by a player with recording software, who is then invested enough to record said clip, then it has to be uploaded and seen by you. Do you see how this heavily skews your sample? Additionally, you already believe that Russian tanks have some bias that makes them more likely to bounce, so there’s plenty of confirmation bias at work here anyways.
You make me ask again and again the same question …why then the vast majority of videos on media about bias concern russian vehicles?
Because people are told that there is Russian bias, and therefore have confirmation bias for it. Do you record every bounce you have in a match? Or only the ones against Russian tanks? Do you know how this goes for the other players in your match? In all the other matches played? Do you actually keep track of how many bounces you have, or do you just tally ones against Russian tanks? How do you collect evidence about the vast majority of the playerbase who don’t post clips online?

Good thing Germany in WW2 adopted inert ammo as well. From 21:38 you can see Tiger 2’s ammo blacking out and disappearing into the void, twice in a row.

Man, Gaijin really has to stop putting german bias in their game! There’s a bunch of videos of the King Tiger not suffering an ammo detonation, so it must be true!

you are also told that there is russian bias but you and many others players
again you make me say the same thing …every nation has abnormal incidents never denied that but with russian tanks its much more common , its all about the frequency someone deal with these kind of incidents and that is what i think make players talk about russian bias .
I cant collect data where it is not exists its not my fault
You’re still trying to claim something that you cannot prove, pretty disingenuous.

USSR ammo goes black and do nothing - 100% proof of bias
Non-USSR ammo goes black and do nothing - Eh, nothing to see here

Yes, which is why there’s confirmation bias in the first place. If you think russian bias is real, you are automatically skewing the data to support your point.
This leads into the second point. Do you actually keep track of how often these “abnormal incidents” occur for you? Do you treat every single one with the same severity (recording/screenshotting it and posting it online)? Or do you only do it with Russian ones?
Then why are you trying to form an objective opinion if you can’t access the majority of the data? This is basic statistics. If I ask on the russian forums if Russian bias exists, and they say no, is that also valid then? After all, I can’t collect data on what every single player thinks!
You can get around this problem by sampling, but your “sample” (personal anecdotes and various youtube videos) is anything but random. Any data that is not recorded/screenshotted, not uploaded to the internet, and/or not seen by you is excluded. Think about how many “Russian bias” videos you see uploaded per day, compared to how many shots are fired every day in every match played that day.
Also, how will you avoid bias in terms of game mechanics? If I shoot a Jumbo 100 times in the UFP and fail to pen even once, but then shoot a T-34 in the side 100 times and pen 100 times, does that mean the Jumbo has a higher value of this magical survivability chance you claim exists?

we had this conversation before on the other topic …its my personal opinion as yours too and we both cant proove anything neither me that nor you , we both need concreate data that we cant provide
Then say In my opinion before you start your sentence, otherwise people might think you’re trying to make objective claims.
Also, personal opinions are pretty much irrelevant when it comes to topic of who gets bugged out more frequently.

Then stop trying to pass it off as objective fact. Though you are wrong here, as you have made the claim that Russian tanks have a statistically significant increase in their “survivability” chance. As such, you have to prove that this is true. But if there is a lack of proof, like there is now, then we can assume you are wrong.
in which sentence you refer?
Here.

Google bias war thunder and you can see yourself that the vast majority of bias is about russian vehicles then go to this forum search lens and type bias and again you will see that the vast majority concern russian vehicles , i wonder why …??
For hundreds of years, the vast majority of people also thought cutting someone and draining their blood would cure cancer. And surely you agree with them, right? Since everyone believed it?
And I’d like to again, bring this back to my initial question you keep dodging. Do you actually keep track of how many bounces you have, or do you just tally ones against Russian tanks? Do you post all of them online? Do you record every bounce on a German tank and post about German bias?
Simple grammar lesson…
SENTENCE: ‘’ you make me say the same thing’’
SUBJECT : ME!!!
VERB : SAY
OBJECT: THING
I THINK!!!
( PLS YOU ARE WASTING MY TIME…)
