All Russian tanks gigantically overpowered?

[Magnifico]

They all seem to be overpowered in every possible aspect lately. Whats going on?

[Ricochet]

100%

theres bias for russians, and if you use a booster you face harder team situations (worse teammates/better enemies)

[Shyue Chou]

No, they are not overpowered. However, at rank 7, the T-80s do feature very heavy frontal armour that would requires careful aiming to penetrate. The problem here is that most of the maps in War Thunder are far too small, they are Call of Duty style corridors for brawling, in other words, these maps favour people who play Russian tanks. The Swingfire, for instance, with a minimum range of about 200 metres for launching missiles will not fare well, neither will the German Jagdpanzers or STUG-IIIs.

If there is a bias, it is the map design, the map design and small maps in the game favours Russian tanks at Rank 6 and 7.

I have also noticed that the maps are getting smaller and smaller.

I find it hard to believe I can one shot russian tanks with in theory underpowered nations being average at most and people who play ground battles almost exclusively can't...
Something doesn't hold up on your side my dude.

Go play them and come back and let us know kekw

It's to funny honestly , the bias is unreal.

I can agree with this
Literally the other day i was in the T-50 and i was bouncing every shot on me

Only the top tier stuff.

Paranoia is hard to deal with

Top teir defiantly.
Fuel tanks seem even more absorbent
More random non pens: Fired a 600mm pen shell at the floor of a bvm(He fell on his side) twice one non penned the other passed through the ammo but no damage.

its kind of odd tho, i been noticing that the ITP can put out fires really easy compared to other planes i see.

i see them put out 2 fires in the same game and still dogfight while the record i have ever seen so far was 3 times.

i know its not a tank but still it seems to carry over into air aswell

any other planes that can do this without the new firesuppressions?


edit: call it bias or whatever but i find it odd

[Black_Fox]

Russian bias is nothing new - Stalinium plated tanks, planes made out of fire resistant Leninwood and tsar rockets on their navy boats.

It's ridiculous what you can pull off with russian vehicles in this game

How are you trying to attack them, and with what ammunition choice? BR?

From what i've seen (for years) the claims are usually based after shooting at highly-angled vehicles with shells that perform poorly at higher angles. Sometimes the server-sync isnt perfect (IE where you think you hit them, isn't actually where you hit them).

T50 is very well angled, and the Pz. IIIJ doesn't have great performance penetration at high angles.

You can look at the protection analysis in the hangar- if you tried a shot on the body of the tank (not the turret), it doesn't take much to cause the shot to bounce and do nothing at all.

What? that only is true if he's facing up and shooting from a hill ... he was not even angled , what kind off BS is that? According to the protection analysis i have 100% chance to pen it anytime under 500M except at only one angle and he was not angled that way.

Should put fair data and just show it as yellow 50/50 at that point.

I put 4 darts into a 2S38 yesterday with my Abrams and it still killed me. Seems completely reasonable
