Because their CAS being so insanely good, and their armor being next level copium leads to not only sweats joining, but also bad players. That they have an almost 60% win rate regardless shows just how strong they are.

MI28NM == Look for the nearest building
Balance is a blatant JOKE in this game

Constant nerfs for other nations, including some dressed up as buffs and ignoring actual capabilities coupled with fictional ammunition/vehicle capabilities for Russia.

For ground vehicles specifically, it depends on the BR range mostly. Most nations have at least one BR range that has a very strong lineup (or a specific vehicle making that lineup strong).
For me though, I guess im basing it mainly off how often I grumble about some super annoying, pain in the ass vehicle that I have to fight. And honestly of the vehicles I do that with, most often those vehicles are Russian, followed pretty closely by Germany, and then frankly Sweden.
On the flip side, france, Italy and japan are probably the three nations I have the least issue with.
I’m currently at 6.3, and I’d say there’s not a single BR where Russia suffers so far.

Im researching in the 7.X range for Russia, but mostly still using a 6.7 lineup to play it.
My opinion of Russia I would sum up mainly as “idiot proof”.
I find none of their vehicles so far to be particularly standout. Theres nothing really I can abuse to create opportunities, or positioning or anything like that.
But they are all sort of “easy”. They have troll armour profiles that lets them survive in stupid ways, and their guns are forgoving APHE guns with lots of post pen. Mobility is usually middle of the road, not bad, not good.
So for me I find the nation to sort of be “low skill floor, low skill ceiling”. The average bad player will do well with them because they are forgiving and easy to play, but someone whos really good at the game will find them limiting as their maximum performance is also much lower, unlike something else from other that is more specalised.
At least thats my opinion of WW2 BR Russia ground so far.
That is true for their ground vehicles, aside from a few “busted” ones who are undertiered and have some really insane armor profiles, especially in downtiers. What often times makes them stand out is the absurd and somewhat fantastical CAS.
2/3 of the best FAF missiles are found on Russian CAS. The Yak-9K is absolutely busted, and so on.

Because Yak-9UT which is Yak-9K with 20mm and performance between Bf 109 G10 and K4 doesn’t exist, huh? This is by the best CAS plane in the 5.7-6.7 bracket, because the cannon behaves like it’s A LOT more powerfull than German 5cm (with soviet 45mm I just aim at the roof, with 5cm I have to aim for the ammo, because it just can’t get the job done) and the plane itself is highly maneuvrable and very fast, it loses dogfights vs Ta-152H, but god damn it, Ta is a dedicated fighter. OK, US also has some great CAS planes there but nothing that can casually 1-tap Jagdpanther from 800m away, outside of the pay2win Zuni spammer, but that one is nowhere near as nimble and an east target for soviet superior SPAAs.
And they have some busted pay2win vehicles like TIS MA, which can delete entire team within 2 minutes and is also very solid fighter.
Tu-2 is very menauvrable plane (it can hold its own vs Ta for quite some time!) with huuuge bombload.

depends on the BR but generally speaking its always either the USSR or germany with america on occasion.
for CAS its always USSR and USA.
US roflstomps at 3.3 to 4.0.
Then they have super strong lineups at 5.3-6.7, higher than that - dunno.
they suck above that until top tier.
the abrams is a brilliant top tier tank, played by worse players than the tiger 1 is
It’s the worst toptier tank played by the worst players.
you say that when CR3 and ariete exists
If you spend 500+ hours in any ground nation probably you feel comfortable with any nation (Note:Italy,France and England are not beginner friendly(and you cant choose Israel at the start))
Italy gets Leopard 2s.
also: how?
it.lacks.cas.options. how does that imply that the cas it has is not good. firstly this only means it doesnt have as many cas options (in top tier) as other nations. which it hasnt. f16-am thats it basically. and even if you would count the gripen which has a way smaller cas loadout thats less than most or all other nations have. because you dont get a single usable heli for top tier. it is what it is. and in addition to that you also dont get spaa to deal with the cas and f&f spam of most other nations which maybe is even a bigger problem.
and even then the f16am is just not as good as a su30, rafale or even eurofighters (but those only reach its full potential with really skilled pilots) why is that so hard to admit? not every nation needs to be top dog in everything (well besides russia obviously…buk buff when btw?)
doesnt make the ariete better does it?
