Storm Warning - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

Your average US team will consist of 1-2 players with a full lineup with CAS and helis, 2-3 players with up to the sep v2 and no CAS, and the rest using squadron vehicles or the clickbait

Wrong, the winrate of USA was actually very good when the lineup consisted of the M1A2 and F-4E fighting Leopard 2a6 and T-80U

Yep. We see it every time they release a new top tier premium. No matter the country, you start seeing teams where half the players ODL because they only have 1 Click-Bait, or one Fuji, or one CAN 2A whatever. Its a little bit better on the air side but not by much.

yeah it was also at its best when the Sep came out, which was while the AIM existed, so whats your point?

it was NOT good when the SEP came out, fym, the BVM was in it’s prime around then

when the SEP came out the US climbed to a 60% WR average for that update before tanking again

If people would stop getting into CAS so quickly and/or 1-2 death leaving (usually because they lack a lineup or died before getting enough SP for their CAS), the US wouldn’t have an issue. The Abrams is a very good vehicle, the problem is the people playing them are, more often than not, lobotomites.

I do not recall that, especially since i spent about a month demolishing them in the BVM

its a very good tank until you are shot at, or try to shoot the gun on a russian tank

2nd highest penning round in the game
5.3s reload with an expert crew (5.0s aced)
extremely good gun handling
extremely flexible chassis
very good mobility
workable armor profile

Yeah I’d say it’s a very good tank (if you don’t yolo or make stupid pokes)

It’s a shame too, because the US top tier lineup really isn’t anywhere near as bad as the statistics would suggest. The people who actually have that lineup, and spawn deep into it every match actually put in a damn good shift and generally I see them do well.

But every game is the same, all the ClickB’s/AIM’s are back in hangar within two minutes, and those remaining are getting curb stomped 2/3/4 to 1.

It certainly doesn’t help that the ‘other side’ has better tanks and better AA, but what’s really kneecapping US teams is just the way they collapse so quickly. Not enough people have lineups or actual staying power in the match.

BVM dies, he comes back in T90 / Su34 / Pantsir. 2A7 dies, he comes back in 2A6 / UHT, 122 dies, he comes back in another 122. AIM or clickbait dies ? He comes back in M22 locust lmao.

US Winrate by the end of Fire and Ice, they climbed from a 47% at the start to a 60% halfway through the update, and kept that win rate until the next update.

in fact they kept that win rate and only made it better throughout the next update too, only losing it in sky guardians

it is workable, again, if you don’t yolo or make stupid pokes

the armor has saved me many times

Challenger 2 dies they come back in a challenger with something missing

no table or extra fat

the breach weakspot feels like it covers half the turret face, and any shot to the hull and your dead now because they decided the hydraulic tank was a vital part of turret rotation

so yeah the Clickbait and Aim are not the sole reason for the US win rate sucking, they’re a factor, not the whole reason. Because Germany and Russia both also have premium spam and they do just fine-

because it is???

I didn’t say they were, but it would definitely help if new players couldn’t get their hands on vehicles they don’t know how to use.

A huge issue is CAS, and the incentive to get into it is what drives people to not stay on the ground and/or leave early if they don’t get enough SP for their planes.
