It’s not mine. Despite the fact that i argue with you siding in favor of the vehicle, i already have two other nations at ground top tier, and many grinded to air top tier, including GB, France, Japan and —soon enough— Israel. I’m not the average main to be portrayed because i’m signaling its weaknesses.
Figure of speech
You better correct it. I’m not calling you a soviet apologist or an american hater even if i disagree on your views.
Speaking of views, it’s quite similar to what @_Renzo said. And i sort of agree with.

What is there to correct? When somebody says your in this context I am not referring to “you” specifically, but at that point we would be splitting hairs over grammar, and I’m not getting into that.
Bulkhead armor, turret ring correction, Sepv2 ARAT modification. These three things alone, which have been in waiting for years, would improve performance and at the very least ease some headaches
Once may be a figure of speech.
Twice feels more of a uncomfortable vice. I’ll consider my strawmans from now on, moreso considering how no brainer was for you to give a like to a lazy strawman :)
Gramatically it’s more mean like when somebody says “you know?” to nobody in particular, but I won’t get bogged down on it.
Either way, my points had nothing to do with the Leopards initially, and even if I don’t think the gap between the “armored leopards” and the next best tanks is that big, I can’t deny it exists, I’m really only trying to point out the inconsistencies in the idea that US teams are not suffering from an overload of low skill low level premium players, while they’re suffering the worst I did point out a similar trend you can find in Russia too, and while I don’t think they’re the beast of a tech tree they were 2020-early 2023, they definitely aren’t justified in having the 2nd worst WR at top tier based on their vehicle comp, notice that China has a better winrate than both while having one single 11.0 prem, with Britain also having a better winrate than both of said nations too and low player count of OES users, I brought out those examples in particular because I consider them to be the Tech Trees most in need of help and I don’t think it’s especially controversial to say that to drive home the point that Prem spammers are the issue.
Idk if I proposed my solution in this thread, but I say get rid of Nation based mm for RB, it worked to balance air rb fairly well (kinda).
Mobility wise the 122s are pretty close to the M1A2 and SEPv1 in terms of mobility though.
Honestly the SEPv1 only as a decisive advantage in firepower over the 122, which is also only really due to the reload. Above 590mm pen most rounds aim for the same weakspots anyway, so the ~30-40mm extra pen is mostly niche.
I wouldn’t say they are extremely close. The performance gap between the 122 and every other MBT besides the 2A7 is pretty big.

The Click-Bait/RDF argument can’t stand forever. Many of those low skill-level players who were the influx of the bad winrates either moved on from the game, bought another premium, or basically improved. You expect me to believe this will be the argument forever? I don’t think so. Something is wrong beyond that, otherwise if the US is soo good as y’all said, it would’ve reached at the very least the 50ish area, not the mid higher 40ish.
Once we agree that the gap exists, really it comes down to how much each player values certain elements in a tank, personally, I’d say that a small mobility advantage in top tier is the difference between holding a spot and being the one pushing that spot, which for my playstyle, is huge.

Well, new players do buy the clickbait, now RDF/LT, Wolfpack, KVT, and the sales seem to be doing well, and those tanks are spammed frequently, especially during sales, and the data I’ve found is the higher the number of premiums that are spammed per-nation at top tier, the lower the nation’s WR. Plus, well, I looked at the hard stats on the Abrams, it is definitely one of the better picks for top tier.
I just know enough about the 122s that they are so good that having a 1.5-2.0 K/D in them is pretty much the bottom value of what I would consider decent player performance in them. Let along good player performance.
Sure the Abrams might be 0.1 second faster to said positions, but it will be 10x easier to be pushed off. I have 7 nations at 12.0 now, so I have played enough with and against the M1A2s.

Show it. Otherwise, i can say through my data™ is that it’s not necessarily the case with the L2A4M/T-80U-E1
Yes, they are better, but I’d say the Abrams armor is “good enough” to be hard to push off of an objective, although the 122s can just push against players with poor aim and be near invulnerable, so I agree with you that they have the edge over-all.

Well, with the T-80U-E1, 2s38, sometimes T-80UD, it is the case as well. if anything Russia dropping off just below top tier supports my stance even more that prem spamming is the issue.

Eh I guess it depends on the players you face I guess. 90% of the time I have no problem pushing Abrams off anything that isn’t a hill in the back of the map, they are just pretty farmable in close range.

given you’re here I’m just going to be under the assumption you’re going to be better than the average player when it comes to aiming, but in my own Abrams I definitely get some good results defensively unless I’m being run over by half their team, but that is, and should be the case with any tank.

I’d like to stop around here, which is the Clickbait/2A4M/T-80U-E1.
The only part the data™ shows a significant plummet is at the downtier 10.7-11.7 bracket for the USSR, the rest sits comfortably at above 50% WR.
The US does not have a single bracket above 50% WR on any of those premium brackets. So it’s fair to assume it’s either not beginner friendly or it has flaws. Or it’s the remote possibility that it has both, crazy stuff.
Correct, they suffer from the Premium issue the worst, but with high tier BRs I can use Russia to confidently state that prems are the issue, and wherever they’re spammed the most, you will always see WR dips.
And since some nations have this issue way worse than others, I propose nationless mm for ground RB as it has balanced the game out well among nations in Air rb already, excluding vehicle to vehicle balance, where I’d say it’s worse than ground rn.
Even after a year of release? Beyond a stretch.
It is a way on balancing, the issue is the sound mayhem with all the mixed sfx will make it chaotic at best when it arrives.
