I should ask; are you following with me here? I’m assuming that you’re trying to engage in an actual discussion, so I’m trying to be as educative here
i do play abrams just not alot recently, switching to air rb more
abrams is good but most players just dive into the middle and get brutally murder by sniping opponents and ran into spawn and die most of the time
hence the WR
yes I understand your point but then why can we assume that usa just have a larger player pool. Also on the other hand why do we just assume the performance of players from a nation cause the issue, since by that logic isreali player are also at fault for f15I to be very bad, but isreal isn’t a nation with huge player base, its a small nation with very dedicated players, how come it performe badly as well?
Oh god get off your high horse, you’re not even understanding half of the stuff you say yourself. You still haven’t provided a single bit of evidence that Rafales overperformamce is based on player skill more than it is on plane capability and your self reinforcing player migration to meta planes is extremely questionable in war thunders non fluid tech tree structure

It’s the second best right after the Rafale.
Irony.
Every radar does this.
It’s really not. The F/A-18’s radar is around the same level. And TWS is bad on all planes atm.
If open eyes, you cold find, even in this thread, if too hard for you, gently ask and ill point you directly
He doesn’t really care about reality… He genuinely thinks the most handheld plane in the game (the Rafale) is skillful. He spams up other threads with the same things.
I have played 6 games in my EFT today so far and I still didn’t feel the whole “EFT suffers” that badly. I went 9-2 in those games and I only had serious problems with the radar in 1 of the games.

I’m very happy that you’re managing to follow along.
Okay, see;
We don’t assume — we observe.
American vehicles are one of the most played in the game.
If you verify statshark, you may see that twelve out of the top thirty most played vehicles are American, and all concentrated very highly towards the top end.
That’s because of prems, squad vehicles, etc.
It’s a very old tree, very iconic, and a lot of what the newer players first see.
So, it is a reasonable calculation to be drawn from what we have available.
Because it isn’t actually binary; it’s not the vehicle’s fault OR the player’s fault; it’s a combination of both where the player’s own skill skews the dataset.
Think of it like you having a scale which the plane perform weighs against the meta, and then you add the player as a “weight”: it may lighten it or make it heavier.
So that’s why considering the counfouding variable that is the player on the vehicle statistics is important; because to accurately decide if a plane is actually performing poorly or too well, we have to remove that weight in order to see where it truly lies.
Are you following?
And it doesn’t necessarily mean that the israeli players are at fault.
Lower-count playerbases does not necessarily mean that that population in itself is more skilled, it just means they’re far more volatile and reactive to changes.
Think of it being a proportion: within a population of size X, there may be Y skilled players. That ratio can vary.
Exactly because it’s a low-population nation, its data is more volatile and less statistically stable.
And:
- The F-15I has real gameplay disadvantages against the top-dogs right now (e.g., fat, loadout, draggy, etc).
- Israel’s air tree is very narrow — fewer lineup options, limited flexibility, poor synergy.
- And yes, even a “dedicated” playerbase can’t overcome poor matchups and flawed vehicle tuning.
So the underperformance isn’t about Israeli players being “bad” — it’s that they’re statistically more exposed to vehicle flaws.
They can’t offset those flaws through lineup strength or sheer player volume.
I’ll vouch for the Merkava. It has a good turret (Protection analysis lies on it, its stronger in-game), good survivability, very speedy, and while it is big, it adds to the survivability by giving it a sht ton of empty space. The lineup is also decent (3 Mk.4’s, 2 Namers, Spyder soontm, Blackhawk, F-16/F-15 for more CAS, and fill the rest with the mid Merkava Mk.3’s)

not good enough tbh
too lightly armored for a 65 tons tank
they really need to fix it
It’s survivability is also helped by the majority of the people not knowing where to shoot the damn thing. It has such easy 1 shot kill spots, but you hardly see people aiming for them.

Its 84 tons IRL. Gaijin said they would give it more armor if it weighed more, yet Gaijin refuses evidence given by Israel’s official army…

Shhh.
If you aren’t here to contribute meaningfully or being less than obtuse, then just move on and don’t reply to me at all.
Projection doesn’t work here.
This is rather basic statistics literacy.
I have provided proof for the people intelligent enough to understand it ¯_(ツ)_/¯
If you can’t… well…
That’s not on me.
Nor is that what I even said, lol. I just said that the rafale’s statistics are amplified by the playerbase. The jet itself is still very much OP and too strong.
Womp womp

Yes Albert Yappstein, thats precisely what Mythic and I have been saying before your mathematically gifted self graced this thread. You have provided new besides a few walls of text that themselves provided no new information but i hope the keyboard exercise was worth it

You’re very obtuse or just trolling.
Because that’s literally been my whole argument the whole time, lmao.
Scroll back. Find ONE time I said the Rafale’s dominance was entirely down to player skill.
I provided analysis on the literal data that he provided to back my point.
Again, it was very much proof if you’re intelligent enough to interpret it. If you can’t, that’s completely not my fault and I urge you to look these concepts up. They’re really useful skills on your day-to-day life.
my god i really hope youre some jacked, smart, successfull guy in real life and not the sweaty keyboardwarrior i picture you as to be that full of yourself.
You literally didnt which was the whole point of Mythics later comments but doesnt matter
EF dif not suffer, but radar dif has problems and it like should be fixed, maybe nerfed in some aspects but not provide bugs as balance feature
