Russian bias at top tier?

[9imperator8]

I'm currently playing at 10.0 ground rb and 10.3 air rb. The russian vehicles have often felt superior to mine in almost everyway. Almost the only good thing is that there is a lot of dumb players in the russian top tier vehicles and thus those are easy prey.

However what do you think, is the russian top tier just superior to others?
They get lots of different vehicles, almost everything has ERA and thus counters everyone stock grinding with heat-fs, the ERA sometimes even feels like force shield blocking everything, their tanks are smaller and have much lower profile, they also have quite good guns and good to amazing pen, their light vehicles can be considered to be the best in the game (looking at you bmp-2m, it really could be 11.3 and still do fine), their helis do feel like way better than others and are overall just cancer in the game.

OP? No. But they do have easier stock grind due ERA.

Here's the thing what I learned from playing Russia top tier:
CQC maps are a death sentence. Bad reverse speed combined with meh turret rotation gets you on a disadvantage.
However, on large maps they have the advantage due smaller weakspots, better frontal armor and small silluete. It all depends on the map and the player.

I would say at that tier every nation is similar since everythin can both one shot and be one shotted by pretty much anything

Not necessarily bias as i doubt its intentional but i would say russia has a significant advantage at top tier though this seems to be down to nato composite armour under performing. At top tier the era doesn't just counter heatfs its largly immune to all sub 600mm pen apfsds shells. I would say russia excels at small city maps as they can just use brute force as they are harder to kill with much smaller week spots that need careful aiming while there opponents are much easier to get. Another factor is the economy since their vehicles cost almost nothing to repair people stick around longer also they have the ka52 which can solo multiple spaa thx to setting of proxys if they know what they are doing. Compaired to the other big 3 nations its not that bad but there is defiantly a difference when comparing to others eg a ariete is a joke compared to a bvm

A lot of people playing T-72AV(TURMS-T) that are clueless. Mostly low level players.
