You completely missed the point. To be expected from someone who thinks wot is a good game. Let me explain:

- The point isn’t that WOT is full of stuff that never existed.
- The point is that WG is lying about it and saying that it did exist.
- Which is even worse when you consider the article saying that russian kids are learning history from WOT, an entirely fake representation of tanks and tank combat in world war 2.

Meaning in 5-10 years you’ll actually get idiot russians claiming that arty in ww2 had an eagle eye view of the battlefield.

Eaven that is risky. You see, there are more pictures witch are staged or edited then you might think. And it eaven involves the most famous ones. A few out of the top of my head:

Russian soldier rising flag on reichsdag (edited the watches on his arm as that meant robbing the death, and i think i heared it was staged as well.)
american gi’s rising flag on some island in the pacific in 45(staged, picture shows the second bigger flag)
Spanish civil war picture by robert capa the falling soldier (said to be staged)
The” spontaneous” kiss between a sailor and a girl in new york at armistice ( it was posed)

Get my point?

History itself is only told/recorded by those who are biased.
For actual events of history in the past, we can rely on video footage or photograph; but for background stories, there are no factual account of what exist or what happened, only biased stories told by those who witnessed and told in their opinion of what happened.

Well it’s not much better than the situation in places where English is spoken. For example, how many people do you think know about USA bombing civilians in muslim countries with drones? On TV I only saw one documentary about it. Western powers are very good in hiding their actions that border(and often cross that border) with terrorism. People shit about manipulation in Russia while being manipulated themselves.

Exacly. The same goes for WG. They don’t hate anyone for no reason. But they might have lost close family in WW2. You dont just get past that all that easy.

Most Russians also get all their information from Russian sources,due to language barriers and such.Therefore,the government can easily manipulate public opinion due to the complete control they have over the flow of information.

About your statement with Croats vs Serbs,I think it is similar in Ukraine too.We don’t hate Russians,but if you stroll down the streets of Kiev with a burning Ukrainian flag you might get beaten.
