Average WT player is far from good and they still perform better in M1s, which is funny for something that’s supposedly extremely hard to play.

the fact people cannot differentiate the difference between it needing skill and it benefitting skilled players is astronomical.
Because so many people like to sit and shoot it in the UFP, I had a 2.0 KD nearly with 3BM42 in it, which is ridiculous xD
TBH it’s not even that easy to use the T90M, as it’s so 1 dimensional it has very little versatility.
I mean the amount of people I’ve seen on here rag on M1s then have a 2.0 KD in them is ridiculous man.
like it’s as if they aren’t weak tanks

I’m sorry but what mobility are we talking about here? The SEP v2 is one of the most sluggish tank in WT. Russia has the T-80BVM to outmanoeuver US teams.
Are we serious here? A rare map like Maginot where you can put both hulldown and gun depression to use to cover large part of the maps favour NATO tanks a lot more than the spam of flat ultra-claustrophic CQB map we’re forced to play where quick reaction time + shot placement accuracy matter more than positioning.
How are you even coming to that conclusion? Statshark is completely unusable right now for that specifically if that’s your source because the queues are all over the place since BMPT + LMUR(And made worse by new Pantsir).
The average WT player isn’t playing the US top BR right now just to get farmed by RU teams, he switched to RU(or stopped playing/switched BR). Most people left are the truly dedicated US players who know how to play.
And the game literally prove me right when RU top tier queue has MORE players than every other tree combined which was pretty much never the case before the absolute debacle of balance that have been the last months.

Only if you take TUSK II. The SEPv2 without it is pretty close to SEPv1, which in turn is an incredibly nimble tank.
Half of the T-series, namely the T-72s and T-90s are absolutely dogshit in CQB.
This second bit is just personal, but imo Abrams >>>> T-90/T-72 in CQB.
Lmao to this. It’s mostly a bunch of dedicated US mains that get their ass carried by the actuslly good multi nation players that recognize and enjoy how good the Abrams is.

Implying average players can just switch BRs and nations as they please.
It really is not THAT nimble when compared to other nimble tanks last I checked. Even the Merkava 4M, which is often criticized as being slow, very slightly outaccelerates it forward, and just devour it in reverse. The Abrams has a pretty good top speed but you can only truly make use of that on the large maps.
Yes, but the BVM exists. BMPT is also a menace in CQB, though it will be less now that the turret ring is fixed.
I should have included the multi nation players, yes. Point is that the FOTM players which aren’t necessarly good simply aren’t playing the 12.7 US tree right now, thus inflating the Abrams stats. The T-80BVM has really decent stats in Statshark despite being the most played tank in May with 1.5 million game vs the Leo 2A7 coming third spot at 695k games. The SEP v2(most played rank 8 Abrams) comes at 595k games. You can put the damn 2A7 and SEP v2 together and it’s still less games than the BVM.
That’s exactly what they do and always did? They simply downtier to 9-10br of their chosen tree or buy the BMPT and join the easy win train.

No ?
Since when the average WT player has access to multiple trees at top tier.
Not to mention good players will flock to FOTM as well and do it much easier, so your point is pretty moot.
Since you can buy top tier tanks like the Clickbait or BMPT? Are you trolling or something?
You’re also fully ignoring that a player getting CBTed at 12.0-12.7 by the BMPT can simply decide to downtier with a ~9.0 lineup or something.

So, in order to get even remotely close to the speed of Soviet MBTs, you have to remove the TUSK/ARAT side ERA from the Abrams. That’s just brilliant.
They keep playing it because they like that nation despite all its drawbacks.

Just buying premiums left, right and center isn’t average behavior.
BMPTs aren’t torturing anyone at 12.0 - 12.7.

The ERA is mostly useless anyway, why carry it in the first place?
Yep, and there are a lot of people like that that are also your skill level and need to be carried.
top tier US ground is still my favorite top tier lineup, not because I like the nation, but because I like the Abrams and recognize how incredibly strong it is and can be.

That’s just brilliant. You have to take off armor that is meant to save you from ATGMs because Gaijin implemented it so badly that it’s basically useless in-game.

Why do you always defend the reds?
Still thinks this is red vs blue.

It’s easier that way. Some say there’s a Soviet team versus a NATO team.
What kind of flaming garbage jacked-up logic is that?
Skill has nothing to do with one intent to invest money into the game and his financial means to do it. Some of my friends who were average at best were in fact the most prone into rage buying vehicles they deemed OP like the IS-6 back then. In fact, the guy who doesn’t play a lot(thus being average) because he has a steady job and income will be the most likely to buy a high-tier premium to skip the grind. He’s not gonna submit himself to hundreds of hours of grind when he makes the price of a premium tank in like 2 hours of work.
Literally Gaijin marketing strategy working flawlessly.

With TUSK on, yes
I don’t “defend reds” or whatever imagination you have formed now. I just hate mediocre players who discredit a great tank (Abrams) and overhype an average/below average tank (T-90M) all because they can’t seperate their personal struggling from the whole reality.
And yes, you are one of these players I mentioned above.
Ah yes, I’m totally team Russia with 5-10x more battles in my Abrams than any of my T-series lmao.

My dude you’re just throwing out garbage at this point. Your conclusion is that a majority of people that switched sides or stopped playing that tier are average or below average, which makes little sense.
