Has anyone felt the bias yet?

You can let me know how many battles you played, no need to be shy.

How would i know that you actually played one? Here you go again accusing a stranger of lying in a game Forum, they didn’t teach you well i suppose.

Cope.

More than enough.

Because player stats are publicly available data ?

Your turret ring is still easily pennable by any main cannon dart in the game.
Your horizontal drive and engine are still easy to knock out.

I think you’re now just grasping at straws.

Thanks for making a summary of the video, it also proves my point.

I ain’t making all that effort buddy, you can go ahead and do it for me.

So you’re shy and you didn’t actually play or own a SEP ever?

If you are scared of the truth behind the “russian bias”, okay then.

It proves that M1s aren’t the most fragile tanks in the game.

Five clicks = all that effort for an US main, no wonder M1s have 30% WR lol.

That’s up to you to check, you’re the one that made a claim in the first place.

Now I agree on quite a few points you make; but this isn’t totally wrong. The M1 is not nearly as weak as the

Type 10/90
Merkava Mk 4/3 or whatever is top tier for Israel
Ariete
Leclerc

That said, it isn’t nearly as strong as the 2A7 or 122B+, and I would consider it slightly weaker if not on par with the T-90M. It also would be sort of on par (armor wise) with the Chally, save for the fact the Chally is much slower.

I am also not saying this as a Russian or German Main- I very clearly main the US and have done poorly (trying to stat recover rn, just hit a 1:1 KDR with the M1A2). You can yell cope and seethe and all of that but fact is fact, and what he said is correct. The Abrams is not the weakest tank in game, whatsoever. Just because the other ones are rare or not played often or played by smart people does not mean that they are immediately good or broken or invalid. So, again, Abrams is not the weakest tank in game. This doesn’t mean it isn’t weak, or super duper well armored- just that it isn’t as weak as you portray it.

are you really saying that the black hole that is the type 10 hull is easier to disable than the abrams?

I’ve literally never had an issue with it. That said, I don’t play the Type 10. So I don’t know, maybe? At the very least, in my experience.

Yes, we felt it, especially now that the respawn points have been raised to 950. And the A-10C with an AGM-65 with a belt generally flew away for 1000.

ive had so many shots get eaten by their fuel tank and do no damage, or if I am lucky kill 1 crew member or engine

after which it will still be able to kill me before I get to cover or reload

I also generally aim for the cannon breech because on the Type 10 that thing is HUGE. Plus I can move faster forward than it can backward so unless its really far away there is no point in not taking the time to breech then flank.

that said, I have not had fuel tanks eat my rounds on the Type 10. Usually I one shot, but there are also plenty of cases where because of poor aiming on my part I only get driver engine. Still, I back up and try not to get shot. It’s that stupid survivability onion or whatever, of “dont get seen don’t get shot” thingy.

ive also had that gun breech area eat my rounds through volumetric so I try to avoid it

I’m pretty sure it’s both. lvl 10 premium players and players giving up early on in the match both have a tremendous impact on US’s wr. The issue lies in determining the weight of these factors and to be honest, it’s really hard to say.

It’s easy to identify low lvl premium players but for those who give up early, there are countless factors.

these are just a few and I’ll give an explanation for it.

  • how frequent and dominant russian cas is: Even after the SP change, laser guided agms haven’t been increased. Guess what russia has in their arsenal? the Kh38ml. With the introduction of the TGP (for su30) and the increased range for them (up to 30km), they can be used outside of spaa range and to great affect. Not to mention, the follow up Su34 and how easily accessible the ka52 is (even with the attakas)
  • Mediocre American CAS: not only US doesn’t have laser guided agms, their “top” agms aren’t any good in today’s environment. Yes they can still be used to great affect however it cannot be employed the same way as kh38 which is pointing/clicking outside of spaa range and getting back to back kills fast. The F-15E is the only plane where mavericks can be used at farther ranges due to their gbu-39. Even still, it is not a consistent tactic.
  • COD like maps: The abrams kinda struggled in cqc maps due to how big weakspots but now it struggles even more. Any penetrating shot is most if not all cases a crippling shot. The abrams excel in large maps but those are scarce.
  • The low level players themselves: I think it’s safe to say that seeing them take up more than a 1/4 is disheartening. Applies to all nations

I’m sure there’s more, but this is what I’ve seen/experienced the most.

You’re very unfortunately right, this is the only solution and it’s not the most reliable either, and even then, this forces you to waste your time in a plane and not actually play ground realistic… in tanks…

This is true, it would be better to quite simply nerf KH38 heavily or increase spawn cost CONSIDERABLY, not the puny 8% increase

I would also like to note the confusing lack of GPS+IOG+laser guided bombs for US CAS despite many of them being american made and in US inventory these weapon options are missing on many aircraft that can carry them

being that these are a signifacant upagrade from singularly guided bombs their adition would be a massive imporovement to planes like av8b+ which has to rely on gbu 38s or gbu 12s because of its limited agm 65 capacity

LMAO, the worst take i’ve seen so far.

As if pantsir can’t just intercept all of the munitions easily. Unlike mostly everything else which has a hard time intercepting more than 1. And despite you saying that F-15E is better CAS, i don’t seem to be seeing any US mains abusing it by spamming AGM unlike the russians

All CAS needs much higher spawncosts, and removing their airspawn would also help a ton.

F15E is definitly the best US CAS because of its ability to carry 6 mavs and a lot of SDBs but it is still much less effective than having 6 KH38s

Yeah, removing the airspawns and moving back the airfield a lot would fix it. This would also make harder to instantly resupply.
