How? The turms is objectively worse than some 10.7s like the M1 or Leo 2A4. It can’t go up unless those tanks also go up.
What you fail to mention is that you perform better in the TKX and 2A7V than the T-80BVM, and most of your rank 8 NATO MBTs have equivalent or better stats then the T-80BVM/T-90M
This is because the average major nation player is not very smart.
You’ve got an average K/D of 2.2 in your top-tier Russian MBT’s. You realize people can easily fact check this stuff, right?
I’m not one to play the ‘‘My stats’’ card, but since you’re using it as your argument it’s fair game in my book: My M1’s are on average sitting on a 5 - 1 K/D.
If your argument is ‘‘Personal K/D proves the tanks are OP’’ then I wonder how you’re gonna tackle this one.
You’ve got 1227 battles in your Russian MBT’s, you’ve died 1152 times.
You die in 93% of your battles.
You’re eating rounds, indeed, just not with the outcome you claim it to be.
Russia 12.7 wins every single game. It’s the combination of LMURS, BMPTs, russian tanks way harder to pen than any other NATO MBTs and venezuelian su-30.
There is an obvious russian bias in the game, it would take someone to be blind and deaf to not figure it out.
(S)he says, never having played even a singular match in any Russian top-tier vehicle.
Curious then how my M1A2 and HSTV-L have been on a ≈70% winrate this past month and a half, and how my T-90M has been on a 47% winrate this past month and a bit.
Not that you’d know, because you don’t even play 12.7 on a consistent basis.
Aim issue.
War Thunder’s meta isn’t about who’s got the greatest frontal armour, it’s about who’s got the best mobility in combination with the best ability to cripple/kill the opponent on the first hit.
That’s why stuff such as the Strv 122’s, Type 10’s and M1A2’s are among the best, and why the T-90M, Challenger OES/TES, T-72B3, Ariete, etc. have been among the worst MBT’s across the past several years.
‘‘Grass is always greener on the other side’’.
As has always been the case: ‘‘Russian Bias’’ is just an excuse used by poor/inexperienced players (who coincidentally never seem to play Russia themselves) to scapegoat their mistakes.
I’m surely the only delusional War Thunder player talking about how real the russian bias on this game is.
No one ever talked about it on Youtube, War Thunder forum, ingame chat… it’s just fantasy!
Spikes, NATO armor, LMURS, russian armors, BMPT/72s, IRST/HE shells absent on several NATO MBTs, Pantsir-S1, 4-ready-to-shot russian IFVs, SU-30MK2 AMV, 12.7 games consistently won by Russia… perfectly balanced !
In other words: Players who have experience playing both sides and are thus better informed of the respective pros and cons of each side.
Ignoring those obviously made-up statistics for the moment, it’s no surprise that the vast majority of players who complain about Bias come from one or more of these categories:
A) Are bad at the game. B) Have never played top-tier Russia. C) Have never played top-tier altogether.
Simply put: The vast majority of this playerbase is poorly informed and their opinions are not worth much.
Meanwhile, the most skilled and informed players around (DEFYN, Hazeyy, BPA_Jon, Cavenub, Oxy, etc. etc.) all agree there is no Russian Bias. Coincidence?
T90m T80BVM, Object 292, T72A, All T series tanks.
T-10m, Object 279, KV series, IS series.
Your kidding right? Maybe 2nd or 3rd but in no way 1st.
Object 775. Object 268. 2s19’s. SU series.
Ka50/52, Mi28 like you said but all versions. Mi24’s with better weapons at the same br’s are cobras.
Yes the Rafale is good but the missile amount on the SU series and the cas loadouts it can take are infinitely better.
All the jet bombers which sit at the same br as American b29’s.
Su34 is best at Cas and is still a good fighter at the same time, also the Su25’s (su39) are better than the a-10c for both cas and against air while sitting at lower brs. Also just because the strike eagle is a ‘strike’ aircraft doesnt make it a a-10, the su34 is still a flanker.
In other words: players that in some form profit from a potential bias deny that it exists.
So the diverse playerbase form 10 tech trees just decided to believe in a russian bias and no other for no reason whatsoever? Maybe if 9 out of 10 people agree that the one guy sometimes smells like shit than he might actually smell like shit and it’s not just delusions
The majority of people think Frankenstein is the name of the monster instead of the doctor, doesn’t make it any more true.
Like I said in the comment below, there’s a reason why none of the game’s most skilled players believe in Russian Bias.
Meanwhile, the vast majority of players that do believe in Russian Bias are those who fall under one of the three categories I mention above, and that includes you.
Stats don’t lie. Russia wins every top tier games in their majority. The Russia + China sim winrate is actually ridiculous.
No one really cares about your opinion on the mater, everybody sees well the russian bias does exist. Stop posting from the Kremlin dude.
Oh, and I forget the russian MBTs ammo which doesn’t explode, and the fact that some russian MBTs now have 6 sec reload (same as MSC, which becomes completely useless now. Reload time was the whole point of France MBTs, btw).
Im neither bad at the game, I have top tier Russia spaded, I had 8/10 nations finished completely for Ground in this game.
Russian bias is indeed real, either the fact their vehicles are constantly buffed without a need to or they eat rounds to ammo. Also rounds will enter their vehicles and literally despawn, or they rotate and deal zero damage, or the fuel tanks act as spal liners and make the rounds pass through things like crew without damaging them. Not to mention they have better weapons for cas than other nations by extreme extents. And just because people who make money off of Gaijins game say that Russian bias doesnt exist doesnt mean its true. Also there are many top youtubers who also believe in Russian bias and call it out when it happens to them. Phlydaily, Spookston (who i am not a fan of) Justinplayz, etc.
