Russian Teams Steamrolling NATO - Top Tier is Broken Again?

I feel like “Why are German teams so god awful” is a much more interesting question.

Most of the games I have lost in the last couple of days were siding with Germany and most of the reasons were below room temperature IQ teammates.

Like, its not even premiums. These guys just suck. They all leave within 3 minutes and im sitting here thinking “why do I even try”.

The correct question would be: “Why are equally awful russian (or american for that matter) teams performing so much better?”

US players and RU players spawn in far more than German ones do. They win the battle of attrition.

Ok and why do they spawn in more often?

No idea at this point. They have full lineups as well.

So the entire statement is pulled out of your backside. Good to know.
The BMV has 12% more spawns than games, the T90 9%, the SEP V2 11% and the Leopard 2A7 14.5%. But i guess just saying stuff is more convenient.

Same , been spamming 9.7 alot and german team are kinda worse than usual. Even though im pretty around that br they got a decent line up as well. Same can go for USSR team as well , the one i see perform the best around that br is actually the US.

Just a trend me and a lot of other people have been noticing :)
(February stats aren’t even out yet, let alone March)
Statshark also doesn’t show how many people leave the match.

PSO 7.5%
2A6 8%
SEP 7.5%
Germanys performance was already bad in january despite obviously having very similar respawns to the other majors but good to see that you and a lot of people talk garbage without any basis whatsoever.

And why exactly would Germany players be more inclined to leave compared to others?

Different style of bad players.

Russian players are overly aggressive and direct in their playstyle, the T-80s complement this playstyle decently well. This is pretty easy to counter.

German players I have had in my team play waaaay too passive, completely negating most of their tanks capabilities. Which is pretty much equal to giving the win away for free. (calling it passive play is already being generous, but since I don’t want this reply to be removed we’ll stick with passive).

US players tend to flip flop between playing too direct or playing too passive. Playing too direct is easy to punish, being too passively just means the game is an auto loss.

I would always much rather play with overly aggressive teammates than with overly passive teammates.

Ok so youd rather invent 3 playertypes that are homogeneous over the thousands of players for each major instead of just “Germany currently not meta”
The hoops you guys are willing to jump through are mind boggling

Germany has the 2A7V, that alone makes them meta in ground RB. Even the 2A5-2A6 are still more than good enough to beat or hold their own against the T-series.

Their players are jest extremely bad at utilizing them.

Which can usually go two way.
If the lane they trying to push consist of 2-3 player with more than one braincell the push fail and tend to reverse back to the RU team get pushed back .Or blue for player folded and the game end cause they lost all the choke point or the Ru team decided to spawn camp and somehow fail result in all of them leave.

I have seen both and experienced both and it suck. Especially when you playing any slow MBT, mainly the UK MBT. Say the T80 series are actually good at pushing and CQC , sure but the tank still got it limit and RU player get folded back by enemy team if they actually bother to work with the tank strength and not trying to gun duel 2-3 T-80 trying to peek at the same time.

Like they push a lot and in most of their game and I don’t think it is hard to counter it , especially when you know to hold and camp check point. Literally anything that isn’t a Soviet/Chinese MBT can easily snipe and with superior gun handling and reload they are the free food. But somehow they always fall for the same trick

My basis is experience.

Here’s my experience:
Facing full team of 13.0 RU? They leave very quickly into the match, even if CAS is not spawned yet.
12.0-13.0 game? Dice roll, mostly stay.
12.7 and below? Mostly competitive.

I’d say it has to do with morale fighting full 13.0 RU, even when its not very difficult.
Now of course they can be paired with RU, and in that case they do tend to spawn multiple times.

So true. I hate it so much when you’re alone on a point against several T-80/72s, and your whole team is resting somewhere 400-500 meters away behind the hill.

Don’t think it is a morale thing. Minor nation like France/Ita are simply goated. Across all BR it seem like. They just know what to do and where to go and stuff. Leading to a lot of game where RU winning and suddenly they losing. A large majority of them actually have game knowledge so it suck fighting them.

But GRB is not just tank vs tank, is it? Maybe even the best tanks are not good enough in the current meta.

And US/ru players are just better at using their inferior tanks?

Great, you have 23793 games in total which is about 0.021% of the games the Leopard 2A7 had in January alone. So with all due respect your experience doesnt matter

Or maybe its more difficult than you care to admit?

Germany had 53.6% winrate in July with russia sitting at 41%, i guess one playerbase just developed acute brain damage while the other bought new gaming chairs.

That’s what I mean though, have like a 60k RP modification that upgrades a tank (T-80B) to the correct T-80Bv standard.

Instead of using 280k RP to research a whole new vehicle…

I haven’t used the BUK yet.

Heard it was bad, and accidental tk’s a lot.

This new pansir looks quite usable over the actual pansir.

Does the new one get 30mms?
