993 [NSC] henrychenhenry Members 2,333 posts Report post #1 Posted November 6, 2019 So, I started a new account recently. I was surprised to learn Orlan was not a ship. (For those of you unfamiliar with T1 speak, Orlan is the tier 1 Russian cruiser.) Well actually, I know it is. I simply didn't have the option to play it. This is a brand-new account. There are three starter ships representing three different nations. Russia (or USSR) is not one of them. RUSSIA BIAS DISPROVED! Spoiler My guess for why is because the US, Japan, and Germany were the first to have a full battleship, cruiser, and destroyer tech-tree line. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

993 [NSC] henrychenhenry Members 2,333 posts Report post #3 Posted November 6, 2019 I usually don't make joke posts. I believe that ~100% of my posts are serious and about genuine issues, or genuinely trying to resolve issues. This time I just couldn't help it. Sorry.

As you have found out. True Russian bias must be purchased. Stalingrad. Smolensk. And now the new Gem, Orlan.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

231 [TF-62] Thirsty13_CCW Members 224 posts 10,075 battles Report post #8 Posted November 6, 2019 Comrades, As OP has said there is no bias towards the ships of the glorious Soviet Union in this game. Now of course if the game happens to reflect the reality of glorious Russian design superiority then one cannot blame bias. It is no surprise that the decadent imperialist west was unable to produce designs that matched those of our glorious Soviet Union. Indeed the surprise is that the west mired in decadence could produce anything at all. Meanwhile mother Russia and her people united as one striving towards world unification under Soviet rule continue to show the world their superiority in every facet of technology. You Comrades would do well to remember that soon you all will be united with us under the banner of mother Russia and that when that inevitable moment occurs (as it soon must given the decadence of the west) the organs of state security who are unmatched in their vigilance will take swift action against those who have not demonstrated proper thinking. Thus I would invite you to recant your allegations of bias and proclaim the glorious natural superiority of all things Russian! to fail to do so will only invite your own destruction. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe I was wrong. Initially , when released, this ship was very strong. Then they took AP shells away and nerfed the ship a bit. In capable hands he is still a good ship.
