Warthunder Russian bias

[KillerBot]

Does the bias apply to planes or just tanks?

[Toxa]

I think you can use it on both. Title "Master of Russian Bias" can be seen on planes and tanks. But it's a limited title and you can't get it anymore, as far as I know.

The bais isnt something you can use, its ever present in the game but i am unsure if it applies to the planes as well

[Gravlar]

I quit playing in the early days of WT when it was only aircraft for a good 5 years because there was undeniable Russian bias, now a days the bias is a myth in comparison to what it was in both ground and air.

Ofc because its a russian company, they do business the russian way.

[QUANTUM MECHANICS c000021a]

Both

[Suthirak_D42]

Because the game base on paper. And the nations with the worst production can get the highest benefit from it.

[Suthirak_D42]

You can see many Russian tanks in game have strong ERA. But you might get rubber instead irl.

alright thanks, i was just wondering bec i refrain from using russian vehicles due to the bias but single missions and stuff require me to research russian vehicles

Neither... "bias" in video games is only a meme.

Its not a meme lol, do some research, you'll easily find out why russia gets help in this game

The nations with the worst production quality and most issues that arent represented in WT (think poor steel quality, poor welds, poor construction), all of which since they arent represented, benefit the less caring nations of russia and likely china as well, as well as late war germany i'm guessing, all benefit from not having their downsides represented, and thats only in one facet of the game, let alone talking about the russian ERA with 300mm kinetic protection that serves as a armor doubler for no reason while the M60 with ERA will stop 5mm of kinetic... Or yknow, russian vics being undertiered all the time (think 2S38, PT 76 57 for a while, stuff like that. Seems legit russia

To be honest, a functioning reverse gear is way more valuable than the best ERA.

Or thermals that aren't grainy af, assuming you even have them in the first place which isn't all that common except for top tier russian MBTs.

Not even talking about the fact that there are maybe three maps in the game where the actual advantages you do have in russian MBTs even matter.

Only advantage you really have over western tanks is badass looks, guess that's something.

ya there is no bias and gaijin is an Estonian company

[I AM THE LAW!]

mainly tanks. but at some BRs it's also planes.

The bias isn't really the players or mechanics, it's the lineups. russia has the strongest ground lineup from 8.0-10.0 russia also gets scary teams in air from 9.3-10.3.

I've been playing my german F104G and everytime I get the russians and chinese and I win.

Both. Aircraft like the Yak3, Su-25 and KA-50 to just name some examples are wildly superior to anything else, and the russian tanks are modelled with non-explosive ammo (you can shoot their ammo and it doesn't blow up), they have less spalling (that has even been datamined, so no point denying it) and their ERA is hilariously broken against kinetic ammunition for some reason.
