Guys for the love of god stop auto responding to questions about USA win rates with “It’s just the horrible Click-Bait and AIM players”! First of all this is not a valid argument to the question as this response is a Hasty Generalization of AIM and Click-Bait players, and second if this was true why have Russian win rates not plummeted with the release of the T-80UE1? Now do I believe that some of it is player skill yes, yes I do. But there is no doubt another reason USA win rates are low and that my friends is the Abrams itself.
The reason why it’s also an issue with the Abrams itself is that I will see players absolutely dog on people with the Leclerc, Merkavas, and the T series but they get smashed into the ground when playing the Abrams. This is not a normal thing to happen. Now do I know what that reason is? No, but I’m sure as hell gonna try and find out.
Before I end this I want to say, please be nice to one another in the comments and not to take this too seriously cause in reality it’s just a bunch of pixels on a screen.
It’s that simple. Whenever I doubt my abilities or the abilities of my teammates, I simply jump into my T55AM-1 (BR 8.7), enjoy the (of course non-existent) Russian bias and the miraculously much better teammates. Afterwards you feel much better again.
You can only have a similar experience with the Germans with a full 12.7 lineup (and of course with the luck of not being matched with the Americans).
I do believe Click-Bait is the most popular 11.7 premium as it’s the best 11.7 tank in the game. It’s basically like SEP but with gen1 thermals that’s a single BR step below for some reason.
Premium T-80 and 2A4 aren’t great and can’t hold a candle to their 12.0 counterparts, making players choose other premiums like 10.7 2A4 or T-80UD/2S38.
Also, 12.0 US MBTs don’t really offer anything new or special, so people that can switch to playing other nations probably did just that. This certainly made a lot of veterans to switch from US, causing average skill level to drop down.
That being said, M1s definitely aren’t 30% WR worthy tanks and player skill definitely plays a role in that.
US suffers from it popularity. They sold the abrams which is the most well-known, popular mbt in the world. It got flooded by everyone because of that.
Honestly, someone should make a plugin for the forums that puts one up to fill out at the top, where you can fill it all out, submit it before the thread gets going, and if you can call bingo and have it verified you should get a point.
The players are absolutely the problem! There are FAR MORE clickbait and AIM players in top tier than any other tanks combined! And when American teams have an actual lineup of M1A2 players that know how to use the platform they can obliterate the enemy team.
