we absolutely have to do something to make the Soviet faction playable and balanced, it is literally unplayable, 99% of the players play with the Germans and it is practically impossible to win a game except for rare exceptions, horrible games full of bots and useless players who are on planes and tanks on vacation around the map, it is truly an obscene thing, put a repair on it, stop playing like this

You have most overpowered weapons and vehicles. What else do you need to win? It’s on it’s players to point and shoot if they can’t do that (and build rallies) then devs can’t do anything more to save them.
This topic has been talked about for weeks if not months in the RU forum. I agree that Soviet faction is far behind of what they used to be. They’re missing players. But it’s not a matter of fixing by buffing them, they’re just lacking players, that’s it. Unlike Axis which is bloated with players right now, for both low and high BRs. And that, unfortunately cannot be buffed artificially.
If anything, the merge helped Axis the most by unifying all of their playerbase And Soviets got the short end of the stick. I haven’t seen them at full power since the Rzhev update was released.
germany getting buffed autorifles for the already cancerous high br meta, germans getting the best machine guns, germans getting the best tanks for high brs, germans getting great planes, germans having the best infantry anti-tank launchers, germany having good automatic weapons for everybody and the best aggressive sniper weapons.
This is not Germany’s fault, if you are looking for someone to blame then it is the Soviet faction that is not up to the task of competing with German weapons.Which is still pending to be received in BR V
I agree with all your points. I personally never asked for the FG 42 full auto buff, I always switch it back to semi auto because that’s the way I’m used to. And yes, the Tiger II (H) is undoubtedly the best tank in the game, rivaled only by the recently added Super Pershing (which is already Cold War territory).
And like I said, Axis got the best benefit after the merge, they’re very strong right now with lots of players and great equipment. The situation with the USSR faction is that they have great equipment but low playerbase, which I don’t think it can be artificially fixed by buffing. Perhaps you took my comment the wrong way. I’m not a supporter of “Axis suffers” or “Russian bias”. If anything, I want to see a strong USSR the way it was before the merge. But the only way is by attracting more players.
Well, there’s nothing to do. Soviets already do have overall advantage in equipment.
It’s 100% fault of Soviet mains, they’re just incompetent in comparison to mains from other factions.
What could it be due to? I remember that before the Merger, the Soviets in the Berlin Campaign were bloody battles.I’m not talking about the time when it was Germany’s farm for the Tiger 2H for the Fusion
I play with all factions, but with the Russians, no one plays, it’s a fact, to win a game a miracle is needed, everyone draws their own conclusions (Unplayable lose all match today)
Because they were fighting mostly full bot teams + some newbies. Basically Tunisia scenario just for Soviets.
Majority of German playerbase was in Normandy campaign.
So I guess the solution would be to make Soviets play only against full bot teams. 
near the end when the KTH got added alot of the german playerbase went to berlin as well, moscow was russian only, tunisia was western allies while stalingrad and pacific would flip
I know, that was literally the case for Tunisia too.
It shifted just before the merge. Because of Breda event in combination Italian paras from previous event.
And what exactly is to be done? This is a player issue. Not a game issue
Maybe we just need the Allies and the Axis
As long as 4 is merged into 2, there will be no problem of population dispersion
Even if we can see PPD and Tokyo Arsenal in Tunisia
Even if we can see M26 and K4 in Moscow
The most important thing is to separate normal people from idiots
Show your profile statistics, please.
Forget about USSR as playable nation. Do as I do - play for germans or americans(well it’s partly playable, not so great as dritte reich).
Japans also never existed.
…it took out a Panther in Germany. How do you call that Cold War territory when that is literally WWII?
I never seen to have a molotov when I need one…
Except after the paratroopers dropped and Tunisia flipped as well (right as I tried to grind for the drum mag Thompson I never realized was there)
What is this War Thunder?
Dude you got the AVT, Federov, and 2 different 100 round MG’s to choose from just for infantry alone. Add in the IS-1, T-34-100, and IS-2 and you got some really good tanks. Your fighter-bomber with a bomb and rocket payload is BR II and is fun for CAS
As for Low Tier, you have the best manual action rifle in the game. Period. Lever action forever. Your PPS and PPSh are some of if not the best SMG’s in the game. The SVT is definitely worse than the Garand in my opinion, but visual recoil does that to a man. The T-28 is a solid SPH and is a blast to use, I’m biased cause I love SPH’s, and the T-34 and KV-1 are just really good all round choices
There is nothing bad about the Soviet tree. Every bit of it is top notch and effective. Unlike the other trees that have their weak links
I play in br 5 I have three saved presets (moscow, stalingrad, berlin) the old campaigns saved all 3 with 11 teams. but it’s no use I had to update the last vehicle added the plane the tu 2 s was a real nightmare I think I will never play with Russians again, too bad
USSR is getting a burst battle rifle that can shoot bullets as fast as 1200 rpm or so because of how broken burst fire is, you can delete an entire hallway of people
USSR has the RD44 which is the only squad automatic weapon in the game, if you think br2 or br3 is unfair with machine guns, then maybe thats true, but the soviets have the PPS-43, PPSH, and KV-1 at those tiers too, which evens the playing field
IS-2 is still not a bad tank, and the datamine leaks suggest USSR is also getting the IS-3, plus like i said before, USSR has the best tank in br3 with the KV1, its absurd it has 80mm of armor all around its sides, you get to bully every br2 player with no remorse
i dont play planes so i dont know, but it feels like USSR has better CAS with their higher rocket count in their attacker planes
USSR has captured panzerfausts so I don’t know why mention this
AVT-40 is a very solid rifle, I don’t feel as if the FG42 is significantly better. I wish the FG42 came with a bayonet but it doesn’t
sure germany has scoped assault rifles, but i cant remember the last time i see them, your faction does not lose and suffer because of mythical scope STGs that a few people use
conclusion: no faction is significantly unbalanced, its a skill issue on the teams that make you lose, sometimes you get bad teammates because of the lack of a matchmaker in the game
Yea.
But you could do it if you wanna feel unique Enlisted experience - you play with bots against coop. Imo it’s one of main Enlisted features, although they never point it on their site.
Is the BAR a joke to you? Lol. There’s some discourse over what the BAR should retroactively be considered since it’s not a “proper” LMG as it can’t be crew served due to the magazine placement, so some people consider it a SAW now
Saw em last night
Preach!
