As the title suggests. I have a terrible W/R in all of my 122’s. I checked average for 12.0 Sweden and it’s 53.5% at time of writing. I play on NA. I’m not blaming the tank, I love the leopards. I finished Germany and decided to do Sweden. My A and B+ at %42 with 99 and 69 games respectively and my PLSS at 44% with 74 games. My top tier German lineup has a WR of %58 across 822 combined games. Average KD of 1.3ish.
I started playing in 2013 but took a long break from 2015 to honestly 2024. I would play sporadically throughout that time and played in 2018 for maybe a month. I’ve currently been playing consistently for about a year. I’ve had a steady progression of skill over that time as well. My overall W/R went from %48 to now %55 in ground RB spanning 2400 battles.
TLDR for the above. I don’t think I’m a shit player.
I’ve noticed I’m constantly paired with America when I play 12.0 Sweden. 10.7 lineup I did great. But playing top tier I feel deterred. Most losses I tend to be the last one to die and am top of the team, am I doing something wrong? Or should I just ride this out? I don’t mind a solid loss, but they’ve been constant steamrolls.

I mean theres easy way to tell whenever you are gonna win or lose the match.
Ask yourself if your side can spam more Kh-38MTs
If the answer is yes, congrats you win

I had a feeling I’d hear that. I’ll just play them sporadically so I don’t rage quit my session
As a US main i…tend to agree
The Abrams is not a push tank,you can’t use it with your brain turned off. You need to use your speed,your cannon and your reload to your advantage by not pushing randomly without thinking beforehand
And once you die,you can’t mindlessly do CAS,CAP is vital if you’re against Russia or France nowadays.
The Average US main fails to understand that

Oddly enough I’ve noticed US mains tend to have this ungodly initial push. Then over extend, get pimp slapped and the clickbait’s run out of respawns. I enjoy playing my Abrams if I’m being honest.

Win or lose can only see at start of the game if you have US on your team then you look
if Clickbait are more than half of your team (which likely to happen) you have no hope even you able to clear sky and don’t let any KH-38 slinger killing any of them all by yourself you still can lose.

I have been surprised before, but that’s rare. Finding a decent US main just trying to get some SL. It’s funny when I play my clickbait and people treat me like any other level 20.
Not your fault, that’s all a team thing. You could contribute, however it’s most likely German and American teams.

The Abrams is a fantastic tank to play,if it’s played right. Even tho I basically play in AB i know the pros and the cons of the Abrams in RB because i use my head. And from my perspective i can say that if you play it with caution and logic it will deliver fantastic results. Hell,i have a 2.5 K/D on the M1A2,i love that goober

WR means nothing in this game. Players do not play to win, there is no mmr, you dont pick your team mates, 1 death leavers, playing obj is not ideal for grinding, and winning nets you a 1.4x rp/sl mod vs 1.2x for losing…
All that matters is KD, its the only thing you can realistically control on an individual level.
I really hope WR isnt something gaijin uses for things in paticular ARB when one nation is on both teams virtually every match for balance.
Focus on doing the best you can regardless of win/loss, it is all you can do. Sometimes when you team is losing it can let you get some easy kills on enemy players that get bored and over aggressive pushing into your side of the maps, almost perfer this to matches were my team is dominating and its a fight against your own team to get what few kills are out there, and forces you to be over agressive to do so.
Its sad but in reality there are no friendlies, just enemies that can kill you and enemies that steal your potential kills.

Personally; win rate feels way less important than average relative position in your team at the end of a match.

I should’ve put more emphasis on my statement. I don’t mind the losses. It’s the fact that most are steamrolls. That’s my fault for not clarifying the type of loss being my main issue.
My month is at 59.8% and overall is 55%. I don’t know if that’s good, bad or average. For the first time in 12 years I’m actually trying to take this game “serious”.
If you’re interested in the math: (Data Analysis: what is the actual average player's score per mode? (and how long will it take you to do this event)) (average placement is mentioned towards the end)
But TLDR that sounds about average :)

Steamrolls are natural due to players not having any expectations set on them at all for how long they stay in a match. Its just a numbers thing and games are ususlly just decided by ehich team has less leavers 4-5 minites in a match 80% of the time.
Plenty of games where my team is winning and then all the sudden we lose all map control and i look at the scoreboard and its 6v10, and 2 of those 6 are in planes.

Thank you for the link. I’ve been slowly progressing in an upward direction over the last year. I’m just a numbers guy and understanding everything is kinda neat to me

I’ll just play them here and there like I have been. I really enjoy playing them, just getting stomped is demoralizing. I will go until I get a couple terrible games consecutively then switch lineup or nation.
Ya I wish we had ground EC, it would solve the issue of unblalnced teams since players could drop in and out and one side doesnt get totally screwed over bc they had more 1 death leavers.

Maybe one day. But until then, I’ll just make do with what I have. The games we get spawn camped are the ones that really do me in. Especially on maps where it’s just shooting fish in a barrel.
Both of the nukes I’ve gotten have been on a longer game where we’ve been losing and as you stated in a prior comment. The enemy got over confident and careless. Once playing 10.7 Russia uptiered to 11.7 in an 80UD. Next in my 122B+. Also helps my ADHD wasn’t doing its thing at either time.
