Still pretty bad. The M1A1 AIM ruined US top tier for a while as well because it was the best Abrams for a while and gave new players a way to buy into top tier.
Before the M1A1 AIM though, US winrates were decent, but it was also during the time when Russia was dominating ground pretty hard with the Ka-52/Mi-28NM heli rushing with S-13s (pre-SP nerf), MiG-29K, and the just released T-80BVM.
I thought so The Abrams doesn’t really fit well into War Thunder’s game environment, especially considering the maps we get. Most of the maps in War Thunder are too small and often too urban for the Abrams to properly use its strengths, like long-range combat and mobility over open terrain. Instead, we end up with brawls in tight areas, where its armor weaknesses are exposed more easily the turret neck being the worst offender. Plus, since a lot of players can buy their way to the top with the M1A1 AIM and clickbait, it sometimes leads to a mismatch in skill and game knowledge at top tier. The Abrams just doesn’t get the chance to shine in the kind of battles it was designed for.
The Abrams itself is fine. Just that the game never really gave the US a chance to breathe with all these premiums and squadron vehicles.
I am wondering when the Russian and German 11.7 pack premium will be on sale. I want to see if the same will happen to these nations.
I think there are many other tanks that have higher skill floor than M1s. They have pretty decent mobility with great gun handling and gun depression. That 5s reload is also really great to have.
That being said, in my opinion those things I mentioned will help lower the skill floor much more than armor. Relying on your armor to save you isn’t skill, because your enemy missing a shot has all to do with his skill level and you basically did nothing there.
This is especially true with most tanks at that tier having their weakspots near the gun, so you’ll basically aim at the same place to disable most foes.
We are talking about size of where you need to hit. The Abrams has vary large area to hit and is hard to miss in quick on the move shots. Other tanks have smaller zones that require a more precise aim. They did make the tank more competitive by making it quiter.
Nobody ever said it’s bad, players only say that because ton of premium player, like Russia, but in general the nations and the winrates after a period of no prem sale it’s overall never was that bad.
One entire second? So this is what WT players mean when they argue about mobility, truly amazing stuff
The only change I would ever really wanna see for the Abrams is the turret ring being fixed. Its a massive tank with a MASSIVE weakspot that negates most of its armor. (Same with Chally 2 mantlet but we know how that goes). Its a quite excellent tank otherwise. Personally I play Soviets/Russia when I want my armor to be worth a damn.
Also not surprised seeing the usual suspects in here, rent free etc.
U.S. air is best, ground is 4-6 depending on what attributes you find to make a tank good. You can sub an Abrams out with a tk, leclerc, t series. Based on what you value, and what map will decide which ones fall where. The first 3 spots for GRB are all nations with Leo2a7’s.
They do need to buff/fix the Abrams turret ring.
They also should be modeling differences in rounds. All darts shouldn’t act as tungsten penetrators and be normalized for all nations to act the same way. Yet, give asymmetric spall liners to others.
Womp womp?
You used 1 vehicle, prob got 2 kills on ground and then everything else with air lol
7 of those were with the M1?
I don’t know enough about the game to be able to see that from medals.
You don’t know enough about the game to say this either
…So are you only here to be contrarian?
Your post with a picture is literally to be a contrarian lol. You do know that right?
Reread the name of this thread for me. Maybe reread it twice, I understand it may take some people a while to catch onto details.
When people are arguing within the thread and you come in to post that, it’s to be a contrarian lol. Do you even know what the word means lol? Maybe go look it up.
“Read it twice”
I couldn’t care less what other people are saying in the thread, it’s the nearest thread that says America is actually good. I’m simply here to support that.
Are you saying you were personally offended by my image?
