It is when the thing you think you know is blatantly wrong.
its not academic reality its video game 101. Youre the guy who likes philosophical principles so maybe apply occams razor here. Whats more likely?
That theres a cabale of players big and good enough to make winrate swings happen against the thousands of players that according to you keep their winrates and all of that coincidentally in the same timframes of updates with new, more powerful additions.
Or
Those new additions are more powerful and therefore increase the winrate of a tech tree.
Depends on what you’re looking when you choose a tank.
On long range maps T-90M is far superior to HC while in CQC engagements HC is objectively better.
Both provides different advantages depending on your choices.

That is fair, although I would argue that the M1A1 HC is a better all rounder. The T-90M is good in it’s strong area/comfort role, but it’s far less adaptable than the M1A1 HC.

True.
T-90M depends on certain conditions and spesific game play style while HC offers more flexible gameplay.
One thing for sure 90M is tough nut to crack in hulldown position on long range maps tho.

It’s still way undertiered.
Hey, we might also put in all 12.0 Abrams which are undertiered, T58 as well as XM246.
You can’t tell me one of the best 35mm API-T monsters isn’t ruining the br.
35mm API-T is ruining the br, no Russian vehicle has it or an equivalent and is benefiting from questionable mechanics.

Id still pick hc tbh. It isnt so picky when it comes to choosing position thanks to -10 deg gun depression and 38 km/h reverse. Also it gets one of strongest top tier shells and 5s reload. Wouldnt trade those for lws, better tvd and better armor (at that ranges hc armor should be good enough too)
Sure i guess you can make the argument that those are all undertiered especially the T58. Still dont know what the P51 had to do with all of that and still dont know how thats comparable to a 1.8 million games, 1.5 KD, 60% winrate bias machine thats only as good as it is due to a blatant disregard for realism.
dare you to find something russian that was made with only “video proof” lol. They negated the reload buff for T serie tanks for maybe 3 years with the video proofs up until they themselves decided to do research (which was already done by players) and make the reload buff. lol :/
P-51 is undertiered but nobody cares.
Zeros are overtiered but nobody cares.
I see an issue here, idk about you man.

its questionable tho. T-90M on long range has quite a few problems that wont allow it to move to not get its gun disabled. ANd when its gun disabled, it doesnt have any chance to retreat in most cases. So it IS good if we consider only single shots, but if we consider a firefight until one`s destroyed, i doubt it is better
plenty of vehicles in the game are undertiered but the list of vehicles that
-are second most played in the entire game
-have a 60% winrate
-have a 1.5 KD
-are only as good as they are due to blatant preferential treatment
is quite a short list
You can pretty much retreat on long range maps if you’re not exposed in T-90M by using your armor or smoke grenades.
In fact in this scenario Abrams is most likely to get stuck if you manage to penetrate its huge turret neck cause spalling will most likely take out its either driver or engine itself.
T-90M is superior on long ranges in overall because of smaller weakspots,armor protection,lws and spall liners.
Only with smokes, yes. And you will have much of your turret`s ERA destryed. If we hull down of course.
But in hull down scenario its not only that it has more chances to “dodge” enemy munitions, but to retreat as soon as cannon is destroyed. T-90 can have its crew killed through the mask while it will try to escape.
M1 can also snap the turret to the side a little bit to help reduce the size of the weakspots in the front as it retreats.
Common tactic with leopard 2s as well

Well, T90 can also do that, but it cant really move. So its either minus barrel or mius half of the tank anyway
He keeps quoting what I posted. I went to Statshark and filtered for W/R from Ranks 7-9. Then I listed the W/R for all MBTs that aren’t trophy vehicles for each nation in terms of the % and their placement in the ranks.
Top 20 aren’t all Russian MBTs still.
Even so, you’re looking at an entire lineup of vehicles. Separating them to then show the vehicles with highest wr is mega influenced.
You can’t rate a vehicle’s performance in grb by wr alone, since there’s an entire lineup that affects it.
That only realistically works for air RB, which we aren’t talking about.
Look, these are in the top 5 in terms of wr over the past month. You cannot be telling me either of them are op.

If you assume that those vehicles are not good enough for their winrate then that just means that the other vehicles in the lineup are even better and get dragged down by those vehicles here.
no thats simply not true
Abrams, leopard, F-16 vs MiG-29, F-15C GE vs Su-30SM?
Especially the 12.0 abrams being undertiered.
Good turret armour, 2nd best top tier round with best firepower thanks to the reload as well as great mobility and gun handling
