Touché
Unless you have.50cals or 20mm not really.
As long as you play it like a light tank, yes. No Abrams can take hits reliably. The only thing you CAN rely on is being a sitting duck if you get lucky and tank a hit. Even their turret cheek can be penned.
Which most nations have by 2.0. A good portion have .50cals even on reserve planes.
Afaik only the US has reserve planes with 50cals I might be wrong but many nations don’t have much more than rifle caliber at low tiers
U.S. and Italy get 12.7mms directly on the reserves. There’s a few other nations with .50cals or 20mms on non-reserve 1.0s or 1.3s. every other nation has either 12.7mms or autocannons by 2.0.
It’s also worth mentioning that there’s tons of open tops at 1.0 - 3.0 so high pen weapons really aren’t even necessary to dominate enemy team.
fair, but I think this can be said about any FnF Spaa.
70% of active players play at top tier: are they playing Tiger 2 at Toptier?

Now what do mean by “US is always correct” for WWII? No offense, but I think not because I have suffered my way through the wrath of Tigers and Panthers supported only by the hope of Cold War vehicles.
Russia Top Tier and 5.0-5.7 45mm cannon CAS. .
USA Mid Tier and low tier.
No M42 or M19? Those are low tier Gepard’s and XM246’s they shred T-34’s Pz IV’s and maybe Sherman’s on the side.
EXM?
Lol, the only ww2 verhicle i see in top tiers are BT series for fast cap spawning CAS or Sturmtiger in urban maps.
That pretty much never works. Capping with a reserve will only get you to 600sp. They would need atleast 1 kill for really cheap CAS, and 2 for something worth spawning.
If you mean rank II WWII, then maybe the US vehicles are ok until BR 5.0, because once I hit 5.0 I immediately met lots of VK 3002’s and could do next to nothing to them, since they always were able to notice and shoot me. This all started once I got the M4A2.
Conclusion: Rank II is all right until 5.0, because after 5.0 German vehicles dominate.
For Rank III: Rank III is still WWII, so it also counts. Consistently, American tanks like the M18, M6A1, T1E1, M4 Jumbo, and M4 76 (W) receive an upgrade in firepower that allows them to deal with previous threats, like the VK’s, Pz. IV’s, and Stug III’s, but they also get consistently pitted against vehicles from other nations (Germany especially) which are better protected, negating the firepower increase.
An experience that demonstrates this is when I was using the T1E1. I managed to ambush a Tiger I, knocking out his tracks and his gun. I tried about three shots, two into the hull side, and one into the turret side. I also fired some shots into the hull and turret rear, which had the same effect. None of the shot penetrated, and the Tiger was able to fully repair and kill me.
…
What do you mean until?
5.0 is one of the best B.R.s for the US under 6.7 and 8.7.
Pz. IV’s are ez shoot anywhere, Vk’s Ez shoot the turret side corners, and Stugs shoot above the gun or the drivers hatch.
When it comes to ground, Sweden really shines with a lot of strong, unique tanks from reserve to top tier. Personally I don’t think the best ground tech tree should be defined by planes. Idk about the others here who like just pointing and clicking on people, but I go to the tank mode to play tanks.
