Yeah that would fit wouldn’t it. Exactly what you’d expect from the Snail 
Yes and?
For me that just shows how little interest I have in Soviets. I just use a diffrent term to just not repeat “Soviet Union” for the 1000th time. No more thoughts into that.
tl:dr Germans have more players in the region I play in.
Well, that happens. But back in the closed alpha the matches were far more evenly matched.
I still feel like something happened compared to the old days.
- Germany had more players from the getgo
- Russia wasn’t even involved in the first promo sale, but rather the US and Germany. Though the promo rewards aren’t accessible for anyone yet
- The German premium pack (to enter closed beta to begin with) has more sales than the Russian premium pack, so more premiums will be seen in germany than Russia. This was pre-determined by players who didn’t even know the meta.
- Germany winning more often causes players to flock to Germany because they want to win, perpetuating the problem.
- Germany winning more often causes tryhards especially to flock to Germany even moreso than the average player, as tryhards are deathly afraid of having competition
I’m still running my hipster anti-meta habits that I always do, trying to give Russia a better chance by getting to high-level Russian weapons nobody ever sees.

buff russian weapons germans player will leave then bots sides can get evenly matched with bots I guess oh wait it had already happened and the devs reverted back their 20% increased damaged from the russian weapons lol

Yup. Any statistical buff to them will result in the German playerbase leaving as they see the stat diffrence and think it is unfair. Meanwhile Russian players defend it while pointing at winrates.
but what if…devs don’t change the UI?..Now now I think we both have played too many games to know devs do those things all the time without giving proper UI lol
I would notice for sure.
And not updating the UI / purposefully misleading the customer can lead to customer fraud cases in court so i highly doubt they’d take that risk.
Russian weapons have been overall better, at least until mosin malfunctions were added, and it didn’t affect usage at all.
The problem is the perception of what’s better as opposed to what’s actually better.
i know that
This is one of the fundamental problems that the game will face if it keeps its current course, imo. Late-game (for lack of better terms) Soviet weaponry is pretty damn good. It’s just a bit of a grind to get there.

Today’s episode of “shit you see on Russian teams”: someone just used a tank to drive themself over to an objective, get out, and die immediately.

I once saw a T-60 rush a Pz III E on Kamenka Church near the water.
He pushed the Pz III in then drove in after it. I laughed for a solid 5 minutes.

Having used the T-60 against Panzer IIIs, I feel it.
Now I just had another “typical panzer II” experience where my T-26 shot the turret of a Panzer II- which only turned the turret ring and the breech yellow before, as always it blindly sprayed while traversing and wiped out my entire crew.

Nah, I like playing axis the most. Besides I bought the german premium pack, not the soviet one; so I have no motivation to play with worse soldiers than my premium squad has.
Also, just like in war thunder, I like playing axis only. I’ve been playing WT since 2017 almost daily and I never touched a non-german plane, tank or ship even for as much as a test drive. Call me a wehraboo, but german vehicles are sexy as fuck.
Fall 1941 very like 4-5% of land lease and mostly food or resources. So present of western arms in Battle of Moscow - is a historical paradox
Not necessarily true. The British started preparing to moving supplies and war aid to the Soviets almost the second after a German jackboot crossed into Soviet lands. By Nov. '41 shipments of Valentines, Matildas, and even Hurricanes had arrived(Though the Hurricanes were only used in the Leningrad front at that time from what I could find).
The Valentines and Matildas apparently did make their way to Moscow, and had an active part of the fighting.

Or the always fun time of driving along and a single shot from a PzB 38 kills both men in the turret, kills the engine, and starts a fire… Meanwhile the PTRD hits like a toddler.

I’d like to see the hit cam for a pzb hitting a turret. I stole one today but I only shot infantry with it.
What usually happens with the PTRD is it penetrates without hitting anything inside.
It takes 3 hits to knock out the engine of a Panzer III as well, whether that’s a lot or not I’m not sure, but I forced the crew to bail and get killed because I started pumping shells into the turret after that.
That happens a lot with the PzB as well. It’s only at relatively close range that it’s lethal to the people inside, and only flat spots of armour are really something you can pen. Quickest way to kill a BT-7 is by shooting through the driver port. Knocks out either both gunners, or a gunner & the driver. T-26 isn’t that different; shoot the flat spot to kill the gunner and then the driver port to kill the driver. The T-60 is a different beast, though.
I haven’t encountered a lot of PTRD’s, but the ones that I did encounter were pretty good with their shots. Granted, I haven’t used the PzII since I got the III E.
