Should Great Britain Australian M1A2 Abrams?

  • Italian Leopard 2A4 and Leopard 2A7HU.
  • Swedish Leopard 2A6, Leopard 2A4 and Strv 122 series of vehicles.
  • Swedish T-80U.
  • American Merkava Mk.3.
  • British T-90.

There’s clearly a precedent for high/top-tier vehicles being swapped around the various tech trees, yet Germany wasn’t suddenly pointless to play just because Italy and Sweden got Leopards.

Germany definitely was kind of pointless because Sweden had objectively better Leopard 2s, while still being superior due to having 3 Strv 122s vs 1 Leo 2A7, along with numerous better support vehicles and AA.

They weren’t talking about top-tier alone, they were talking about the tech tree as a whole.

It’s absurd to claim that the German tech tree isn’t worthwhile just because Sweden got some Leopards.

Play to support the team and have fun, even if it doesn’t get me kills. But I’m sure KD matters and can’t be padded at all. Doesn’t stop the yanks being significantly less competent than British team mates.

Yeah lets compare something serial vs two tanks that are in prototype state because they were made so fast just to be in trials.

You’re better off ‘‘supporting the team’’ by dominating the enemy team and scoring high numbers of kills.

It’s not that easy to pad the stats without other stats such as winrate and K/M ratio suffering.

Also, just because it’s possible to pad stats doesn’t mean that having a negative K/D in the #1 best MBT in the game isn’t still an indication of inexperience.

Depends if you are one of those british teammates I guess.

The Strv 122s are dominant enough to get a 1.5-2 K/D even when playing super casual, same goes for the 2A7s.

And what about as a or squadron or event vehicles? Top tier Britain can always use more mobility at least have the option on the table. These disagreements seem more of a pride thing than anything else and don’t account for all of Britains playerbase

Britain already has a Squadron vehicle.

Just like the Russians they can get another, they didn’t say anything about each nation only being able to get one

Yea, because Britain does not have enough unique MBT’s to add. Like Rheinmetall Challenger, or Challenger Falcon, or StreetFighter, or Al-Hussein. I think there was some plans for Challenger with 140mm, but not sure about that.

Go back to CoD lol

They’re competent, and assuming I had the same connection those with servers in their region benefit from then I likely would have those figures. But at the end of the day, KD is an abysmal metric for competency, especially if you bother to account for the terrible networking for those who aren’t from the countries with infrastructure. No point fussing over it and working to bring it up when I can just play to have fun and screw around, especially after far too many hours in the game.

But at the end of the day, if you think KD is a valid metric, I don’t think you’re really worth engaging on the topic. There’s far too many confounding variables to worry about it, even without accounting for the stock grind.

You are just coping about the fact that you really aren’t one of those “competent teammates” you like to describe, and are likely hurt because I called it out.

You really aren’t much better than the famous US teammates you like to poke fun of.

I have enough SA friends who play on the EU_NA servers from south Africa, who at least manage to be very competent players even with their high ping/connection issues and even power outages.

Never played it, thus can’t comment on how important K/D ratio is in CoD.

I do however play War Thunder, which seems to me to be the more relevant game here, wouldn’t you agree?

We could pick winrate or K/M ratio as well, but you’re not doing any better on those fronts either.

Look, you brought this up yourself by claiming a portion of the playerbase doesn’t deserve a vehicle because they’re not good enough for your standards. Seems rather elitist and dismissive to me.

Of all the arguments to come up with that’s the weakest one, and ontop of it’s weakness it’s also being uttered by someone that’s very inexperienced at the game themselves.

Spawncamping has got to be the best way to make sure teammates move to half of the map and maybe cap a point or two.

if you have to spawn camp, then you’re bad at the game, or any game for that matter.

Sometimes it feels like the only way to support some of my teammates is to just find my enemies location irl and steal their PC power cables. Some are that incompetent/just refuse to move at all.

It’s obviously just a bait topic to begin with. The Australian SEPv3 should go to the UK tree as much as the Saudi EF2000 should go to the US tree.

Lmao, you must have never seen what AG remotally is.
