The Soviet Union: Russian bias at it's finest?
As one of the original tech trees in the game, the Soviet tanks are well known and universally liked. They tend to be newbie-friendly most of the time, which makes this nation a candidate if you only want to buy 1 or just a few premium tanks. This tree knows a lot of premium tanks, and most of them are pretty good with some exceptions.
WG is a Belorussian company, and thus often accused by the community of Russian bias. Trollish magic armor, derp guns and great RNG are all included in one premium tank package. It's mostly a meme though, while the Russians don't have many bad tanks, some of the best tanks in the game are definitely not Russian.
Below I keep a list of all Soviet tanks I have reviewed with a link. That way it's easy for you to find reviews. Are tanks you'd like a review on missing in the list? Contact me and I'll make an effort to write a review after playing the tank for a while.
