I can’t understand why they made Russian tanks so strong in the game. Looking at many old threads on the forum, I see that they’ve weakened Leopard tanks and other NATO tanks much more. I don’t care if Russian players say it’s a matter of skill, because I have premium Russian vehicles like BMPTS and I win very easily and kill a lot of enemies. Is there any official in-game information explaining why Leopards are so weakened so I can prioritize them? As a new player, I want to decide if I’m playing fairly. Because no matter where I hit the Russian tanks, they fire again. With my Leopards, even if I’m hit by the turret, the vehicle is destroyed. I’m not saying I play badly, I don’t play perfectly either, but I’ve spent over 1000 hours in the game and I can play quite well. With Germany, I play at the highest tier. I unlocked the 2a7v level and it feels like they’ve created an armored tank perception in the game, but it’s easily penetrated, even lagging behind the Strv. The fact that other countries have good main battle tanks while Germany doesn’t, and that as a new player I’ve spent money and time trying to reach the highest level but still haven’t enjoyed the game, occasionally encourages me to play as the Russian nation. I’ve been playing this game for almost 4-5 months. If I had known about these flaws in the game, I wouldn’t have played it at all, or if I had, I would have chosen the Russian nation for an easier and more enjoyable experience. I want objective answers to my questions and problems from the authorities. I’m stating my experiences in the game; I wouldn’t have come here to ask questions if I hadn’t encountered these problems. Thank you.
“German and NATO”
Germany is apart of NATO bruh.
Cuz nato tanks are better ofc. They have to nerf them
Actually the true answer…
Leopards would slime everything if they weren’t nerfed just alone because of the Reload which IRL is an reliable ~4 Seconds btw…for an few-months (not year) trained Loader.
They aren’t.
USA is getting exclusively buffs.
Soviet tanks are no where close to being meta strong in War Thunder.
You picking Soviets wouldn’t make your life easier.
Either your teams would be good, or they won’t; & that’s universal to all tech trees.
“German and NATO” did Germany get kicked out or sum shit? 😭
Alvis… im calling you out and you report any post i make… you are acting like a guy struck by blind love…
There are about 20+ arguments why russians and russian tanks are artificialy buffed and multiple posts about some nations getting nerfed… meanwhile we see 60% win ratio only for one nation…
Please explain to me how are you so blind towards facts written in paper in game code in statistics?
Im am really curious what is oyur mindset because you are doing anything you can to defend an obvious bias in one nation in the entire game.
Tell that to the Abrams
I wanted to emphasize that I’m playing as Germany and including NATO tanks in the discussion, but the main point is that German tanks are weak. As a new player, I’ve noticed that Russian tanks are stronger, and since I bought BMPTS premium, I’ve found it easier to kill enemy tanks. So, even though I can barely play the top-tier Leopard tank, I find BMPTS72 very easy to play with my squad. I mean, NATO tanks seem quite weak. This isn’t about teamwork or bad teamwork; if I, as a new player, can easily play BMPTS72, my teammates will find it even easier to play with Russian tanks. If the vehicle wasn’t important, I would easily play with Leopards as well and wouldn’t need to switch to BMPTS or Russian tanks. It’s just that those who want to create the perception that Russian vehicles are weak and teamwork is good are saying that Leopards are armored, but that’s not actually the case.
This is a Russian developed game… So the soviet tree has to be stronger and better than others. Its just how its always been. Buff the nato tank to have more pen on ERA, then they buff the ERA to withstand what they just buffed made to NATO and noshing changes but they can say they gave better round to counter the old era.
NATO tanks are also designed to work in a group, and well WT players dont play well with others. The nato tanks are far more maneuverable and faster reload, and maneuverability You can still be very effective with NATO tanks in game but you have to play them smarter and not just hold W. Maybe your play style just better used with the soviet tree with no reverse and more armor.
I play both US and RU and a little German, but all in all im just not good at the game and i hold W to get the kills i need to get in to CAS and really that’s all that i prioritize. So doing that i get killed a lot in my rushing in to cap and run and gun.
So bias does exist but if this was a NATO publisher it would probably be the same way but with nato tanks. Just my two cents.
Because he supports it so no matter what you say won’t change a thing about his opinion. He knows hes wrong
Exactly. Armor buffs & the most powerful MBT round in the game, Abrams.
I see @Fat_Fury’s fanboyism for Russia is causing their post to contain hatred of NATO.
The fact Fury is clearly annoyed that I defend USA & NATO equipment shows their hand.
Calling out my defense of USA & NATO will never make you look good.
It’s a lose for you to do it.
By calling me out, it forces you to defend Russian equipment at the minimum.
It’s a Russian game
And Germany has the best tank?
Odd.
I thought it was a Russian game
I agree but it would at least respect the correct ammo values. Like 800mm at 2000m at 21degrees C. for US and German rounds.
Even Challenger 2’s Charm-3 has 700mm+
Meanwhile Russian medium tanks because essentially that’s what they are, 45 tons V’s 65-80 ton Western tanks simply don’t have the solid mass armour values required to stop darts, and ERA doesn’t work at all at 90 degrees and only starts reliably working if extreme angle values start getting involved.
Not in this fantasy game.
Western ammo works at very high chamber pressures due to plasma ignition technology learned as a spin off from US railgun technology. Gaijin thinks the Western nations can’t model or reverse engineer Kontact5 for the purpose of honouring Charm-3 ammo values, give me a break.
Relikt getting buffed + Russia has a much better top tier win rate than everyone else. What are you talking about?
press w and win …in the spawn in like 2 min in the game guess the country
Over the past year, Germany has mostly received copy-paste vehicles, low-impact additions, or premium vehicles. At top tier, it feels like the entire ground tree is being carried by the Leopard 2A7V alone.
We still have no effective answer to the Mi-28NM with LUMR missiles, and in this update both of the other original nations received new top-tier MBTs equipped with Active Protection Systems (APS), while Germany received only 3(+ 1) premium vehicles and a single low-tier vehicle.
Honestly, it’s very disheartening to see.
Russian MBTs are only scary for people with yellow StatShark. For people who struggle with the game in general. The main reason Russia winrate is high is because of their strong AA and CAS options, not because of their MBTs. (And the mindset of “Fighting Russia, ok, no reason to try” which many people have, doesn’t help either). Also, funnily enough, during testing done irl, DM53 was not capable of reliably penetrating the Ukrainian Duplet ERA (ERA still worse than Relict if we go by publicly available data) which is the reason DM73 in combination with the L/55A1 cannon was developed and became the new standard for german tanks.
Because its already borderline impossible to justify a 2A7V being on the same BR as a T80BVM or a T90M so Gaijin has to do all these artifical little bs additions to most NATO tanks otherwise wed play NATO vs NATO in top tier and all the russian stuff would be a solid 1.0 BR below that.
Yeah because even Gaijin cant pull enough magic out of their hat to make russian tanks better than the 2A7.
Do u have a link or a post to an article for this? Dont want to argue about that. Only interested in such things
