Note

Multi-vehicle SPAA

There will be some inaccuracy with multi-vehicle systems. This is because it's not always possible to determine exactly who was responsible for the destruction of the system. In these cases, when the radar/command vehicle self-destructs I’ve estimated the responsible vehicle based on the distribution of launcher kills. Example: The Su-30SM is responsible for 17% of all launcher vehicle kills so gets 17% of the self-destructions.

Have a good new year.

Commodus6504 · December 31, 2025, 3:51pm

The numbers merely confirm what everyone already knows: War Thunder has effectively turned into a Russian propaganda platform.

It’s hard to see any other plausible explanation for the way decisions have been made over the past year. The developers are clearly not incompetent, so these choices can hardly be accidental.

Necronomica · December 31, 2025, 3:57pm

I’m a bit confused about some of the numbers, how come the K/D increases when you count ground only compared to including air? Shouldn’t it be the opposite?

RoyallCSGO · December 31, 2025, 4:40pm

Ground only removes deaths from aircraft, fewer deaths with the same kills will result in a higher K/D.

Necronomica · December 31, 2025, 4:42pm

Oh, that makes sense, i though it ment only ground kills so taking away aircraft kills. Not that the vehicle got destroyed by ground only.

Beeschurger · December 31, 2025, 4:48pm

You too!

Anyway I want to ask, you have a way to track which death was caused by CAS etc.?

RoyallCSGO · December 31, 2025, 5:17pm

Sorry not quite sure what you’re asking. Would you like to see death numbers to specific vehicles as show below?

Beeschurger · December 31, 2025, 5:24pm

Im just curious as to where do you get the data and how can you tell which death is from ground units and which one is from CAS, thats all.

RoyallCSGO · December 31, 2025, 5:30pm

Ah, I’ve wrote a script that watches replays and simply looks at the kill feed to collect all the data.

There are no Chinese aircrafts on this k/d rating. If J-10’s and J-11’s ratio is lower than F-18c, then fixing Chinese jets should be placed onto their agenda with extremely high priority.

_Renzo · December 31, 2025, 6:23pm

Nah It’s mostly just the players. However the Merkava Mk.4 can be very comfortable to play.

RoyallCSGO · December 31, 2025, 6:24pm

Hey, the reason they’re not on that list is because there wasn’t enough data for the planes. Not that they have a too low of a K/D.

Not a lot of air to air combat happens in Ground battles and some planes are rarely played.

I am currently collecting data for air battles now, will take a couple days to collect enough data.

Beeschurger · December 31, 2025, 7:34pm

would it be possible to ping me once you drop the ARB data? Im mighty interested.
