they do not, however they do not get dragged up to top tier as commonly, also because they actually seem to grind so a fresh t-80Ue=1 player will reach top tier long before a clickbait player will
but its not, you would still have pressure in the lines, probably enough for almost a full rotation, and would still have manual backups when in game it locks your turret in place
lol what? the T-80UK and 2PL are both the same BR as the clickbait, same with the 2A4M and T-80UE-1
They see top tier just as much as the AIM/Clickbait do so idk where you pulled that excuse. So yeah that’s not the reason either?
Most other countries high tier premium spam is in the 10.0 - 11.0 bracket, because that’s where their premium lineups are.
The US wallet lineup is all the way up at 11.7, and has a far worse impact on them at top tier than just about anyone else.
Other countries have ‘top tier’ premiums too, but they’re either not as popular as US so don’t get spammed as much (I.e UK Israel etc), or people don’t use them and play the lower BR premium lineup instead (I.e RU / SWE / GER).

Us win rates dropped from 60% at the beginning of March 23 down to less than 40% by the end of April 23, the only major change I can see to ground battle in that sort of time frame is the adding of the Pantsir, Russian win rates also spiked to 70% over that period

yes I have already stated as such, but the point of that WR chart was to show in spite of the AIM existing. The WR was very good. In fact that was the last time it was good
Almost as if CAS was carrying games.
well yes, but in the same sense that they have added the ability to keep moving in a line when your engine is shot out, a feature which has made top tier very frustrating, since it essentially gives the enemy player an advantage over you, despite you having shot them and now you have to sacrifice position in order to finish them off, the same applies to a turret ring and it’s components. You should be able to disable a turret by aiming for what gaijin has branded as ‘critical components’ regardless of remaining fluid or some other loophole that allows it to continue to operate
I hope you know that the only premium with a higher usage rate than the T-80UK/UE-1 is the Clickbait (and that’s only recently due to it going on sale)
Otherwise those two are the most used on average…
Well yeah, basically the Pantsir and presumably the matchmaker putting the US, Germany and Israel against Russia very consistently, is the reason for poor US win rates, so the sensible fix would be better AA, not better tanks that still get stomped by CAS

also the fact that the Pantsir enabled only one side to do CAS (if it wasn’t a mixed battle ofc)
What I’m saying is, RU has a very popular, very strong 10.3 premium lineup, to dilute down the amount of people playing its top tier premiums. Whereas the lower-high tier US premiums are fragmented across like four separate BR’s and hard to make a lineup with.
Another factor that I feel is a disadvantage to US in this regard, is that RU/GER/SWE are often on the same team, so the T80UK / 2PL players are being carried by the strongest, most popular top tier lineups in the game.
Whereas on the US team, the wallet warriors make up the majority, and the actual top tier tanks on the team aren’t good enough to carry them (Not helped by the fact Israel / UK / Italy / France etc are often US’s team mates and these are also weak top tier nations).
blatantly false, NATO CAS is outright better in every metric but outright range, and even there it contests russian equivalents
this is more reasonable but the reason for the US’s atrocious win rate can be boiled down to two GLARING reasons
Reason 1
- Matchmaking
The US on average matchmakes the most with Britain and Israel (not particularly strong nations)
Germany is almost always carrying Sweden in tow (the strongest nation in the game by sheer ground power)
and Russia usually has China (by no means a slouch nation)
with France, Japan, and Italy being wild cards.
Reason 2
- In the US more than any other country I’ve seen there’s this urge to just not respawn if you cant get your jet and I cant explain why. Every nation has people who do that, but in the US its disgusting how prevalent that is. You see Sep players die once and not spawn back in.
The ADV was pretty much always intended to be a quick, and most importantly cheap (in the 70s the MoD was basically broke due to basicly everything needing replacing, tanks, planes, frigates, you name it they needed it) stop gap interceptor while a better fighter was developed in the background, as the Phantoms and Lightnings where’s starting to show their age, and weren’t considered good enough to intercept supersonic soviet bombers over the north sea, both in loiter time and ability to find the things (both the Phantoms and Lightnings relied on extensively on ground controllers), so the ADV was “rushed” out (lets ignore the development issues lmao).
It was rather good in that role as a bomber hunter, about double the combat range of the F-14, while having a similar detection ranges of a bomber sized target. Also the 80% parts commonality with the IDS was extremely appealing to the cash strapped MoD.
At least it’s better than a Sea Vixen

I agree with this too. And it’s probably too hopeful that they’d figure out a way to do TVC, let alone properly, when they can’t even fix the FM’s for the Sukhois.
I guess best hope now is the Su-33 with a new flight model is somewhat competitive, especially if they give it the trialed Bars radar it could theoretically equip.
It just so happens that range is the most important factor when facing Pantsirs
wrong, maneuverability is because those missiles especially at range are easy to dodge.
The F-16C and 15E do not struggle avoiding them. Trying to out range them just doesn’t work even for the SM3
Except it does when your only SPAA is an ADATS
what?
