For the first time ever, we get some insight into the global win rates in War Thunder thanks to excellent work of the community members at StatShark - See All Player, Missile, and Vehicle Statistics and… I must say that these stats are fascinating. Some of them are as-expected, others can be easily explained by low number of experienced players padding the stats or high number of inexperienced players pushing the stats down, but a few performed way better than I expected in a very unexpected ways.
Some stats as of today, since February till 06 March , Storm Warning update, right before the Hornet’s Sting update release:
Top ships by Win Rate in AB:

- German Coastal Pr. 206 - 60.1%
- British Premium LÉ Orla - 59.9%
Special mention: HMS Jervis for the highest Kill:Spawn ratio (just 5.8k games played, Kronshtadt on the 4th spot is the first with a good number of games) and RN Pola for highest K:D ratio (again: low number of games played, Ise was second, Scharn third) in all of Naval Arcade battles.

Some interesting facts
- RB is far more dominated by Scharnhorst and Kronshtadt than AB is.
- Number of vehicles with ≥60.0% Win Rate (aka, the imbalance factor, the higher the worse it is)
- Air Arcade - 21 (14 with >10k matches)
- Air Realistic - 52 (50 with >10k matches, 30 with >100k matches)
- Ground Arcade - 6 (3 with >10k matches)
- Ground Realistic - 7 (6 with >100k matches)

- Germany
- Britain
- Bluewater
- 🇮🇹 Italy (presumably padded by a lot of experienced players here)
