Russian bias
Always find it funny when people cry about Russian bias because the game is made by a Russian company, yet 90% of the maps are designed to make life in Russian tanks as miserable as possible. No flat plain maps where Russian tanks were designed to cross, instead every one is hilly as ♥♥♥♥ where your -2 degrees of gun elevation make it impossible to take any shots without fully exposing your tank. And then your sub 5 kmph reverse speed makes retreating back not an option at all if you do decide to risk it and expose your tank on a hill.

Russian bias is amazing indeed lmao

Sounds like a positioning skill issue. Don't have any trouble in my T-series.

OP is not wrong though, T-72 line is my favorite in WT, but I'd have to be extremely dishonest if I were to claim that I could make use of the same map real estate without issues as I can in my Leopards or Abrams.

Yes, there are always spots that I can use in my T-72, but in my Leopard or Abrams I can use those as well as 10 others I can't use.

A somewhat extreme example is Attica, where whole sections of the map actually don't have any good spots for the T-series in the initial engagement zones.

Older maps typically at least have one usable spot per ridge, but map design gone downhill drastically isn't exactly new at this point.

Russian bias has been here since year one and will always be here.

I didn't believe Russia was OP until I played Russia.

I play Russia it’s definitely the most handheld nation, it takes almost no effort or skill to play efficiently. I wouldn’t say there’s Russian bias, but I do feel like a lot of vehicles are over performing.

Posts about your pwnz playing SOV should go with some screens of your stats, because I can also claim having 23456/1 KD on France for example.
What the OP dosnt know is that its not the Snail who makes the maps, they're outsourced to another company.

In my experience the map rotation on top tier is heavily rotatting around cqc maps, such as Sweden, Holland, Breslau, Sun City, Alaska, Seversk-13. I want to remind you that T series tanks later on in the TT have Relikt ERA, which eats APFSDS shells, making margin for error very small for any tank what faces them. Meanwhile countries like Germany or the US are being forbidden to get their better shells, such as the M829A3-4 or DM 73, what were supposed to deal with such ERAs. Till that happens, when Russian vehicle users cry about them being unable to brawl, while the map rotation heavily favors CQC maps, is a skill issue. Meanwhile the Abramses, Challengers, Leclers, Japanese top tier MBTs like Type 10 or KTX, Arietes are nothing but weakspots on tracks because the map rotation doesn't allow actual hull down gameplay what the vehicles were meant to be used in. I'd gladly change map rotations with you honestly. I didn't mention the Leopards for the reason they are absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cracked with the spall liners, making them still competent in urban knife fighting.

I outsource my gardening too. That doesn't mean if the guy supposed to just trim the hedges cuts down all my trees and takes a dump on my front lawn, there aren't going to be words exchanged, no payment and a lawsuit.

In other words, if I want russian bias in my game and the map designer wants to get paid after he comes up with things that hurt primarily russian vehicles, well I guess you can figure out how that is going to go.
