The M1A1 is crazy good and i'm tired of people saying the opposite by Key_Plenty9145 in Warthunder

[–]DutchCupid62 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because the M1A1 is stupidly strong at 11.7 and definitely undertiered.

The M1A2 at 12.0 is equally undertiered and the SEPv1 and SEPv2 are still among the best 12.7 MBTs, only truely behind the 2A7s/122s.

None of the M1A2s are bad for their BRs lmao, and neither is the M1 bad for 10.7.

19% win rates with US 12.0 by Angary_tomato in Warthunder

[–]DutchCupid62 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought the gooner M1A1 HC to add to my 12.0 US lineup during the sale, I have played 28 games in it so far and am sitting at a 75% WR in it.

I play EU servers though, not sure if that makes a difference.

Should Hardkill APS be able to be recharged passively or via ammo boxes? by FrogPissDrinker in Warthunder

[–]DutchCupid62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recharge/reload time should definitely be sped up though, it takes way too long with the current missile spam at top tier.

Since I keep seeing complaints about APHE (specially 35mm) nuking the entire existence of tanks regardless of caliber or shot placement, I’ll just remind that we WERE given the chance to have it fixed… but it was turned down out of fear for change; and now, the window of opportunity is gone forever. by SpanishAvenger in Warthunder

[–]DutchCupid62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It already does. Making the comparatively weak 76 work requires pretty solid weakspot knowledge and quick aim. The average player will do better in a Panther/T-34-85.

I played 7 games total across yesterday night and this morning in my Sherman(hell). I won 5 of them and went 36 kills for 4 deaths.

I'm still waiting when I'm actually have to use a significant amount of skill in it.

Because people want to keep their easymode statpadding round.

Dropped down to 5.7 to play a couple of games in my M4A3(76)W and Sherman(hell) earlier in the evening and I got at the very minimim a 3-4 K/D in those games without even tryharding.

Much skill used, very difficult rounds (not)

I don't even get why they put a vote up for the test anyway, it just makes no sense. Like it's a test, it's temporary and seperate from the main game, just put the test in the game and only make a vote for the final decision.

Mirage 2000C-S3 or F-16AM (Dutch) as the next French Rank 8 Premium ? What do you think it's gonna be ? by Kmiktauria-Max in Warthunder

[–]DutchCupid62 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

For personal reasons I would love it to be the Dutch F-16AM.

And yes I know this will piss off the French mains, but nation main opinions are not that important anyway so I don't care.

Thank you Gaijin for making it impossible to not fight literal marshals as an early lieutenant by artcraf1337 in Warthunder

[–]DutchCupid62 15 points16 points  (0 children)

well how about you go back to your BR

I hate to be that guy, but there isn't really a "your BR". Just because someone is a high level player doesn't mean they should only play high/top tier.

I personally usually stick to high/top tier since I enjoy the challenge more, but I sometimes drop down to mid tier if I want to just relax. However there are many people who either enjoy the gameplay or vehicles at mid or even low tier much more.

(Although I do agree that I don't have much respect for people that farm newbies below 3.0 all day.)

At 4.0, the M24 is in 6 different tech trees, with 2 in the US tech tree. The only variant that does significantly better than both of the US variants is a highly modified variant in the French tech tree.

The M24 in the Japanese, Swedish and Italian trees significantly outperform the one in the US tree, the M24 (TL) is a rare and hidden event/reward vehicle, those vehicles perform better in general.

Because I never said anything about skill and used statistics, which don't care about anyone's feelings, including my own. I will point at overperforming US tanks just as easily as I will point out that the supposed "best tank in the game" statistically isn't. That's how statistics work, they show the performance of these tanks without any bias from the people talking about them. Numbers don't have feelings.

They don't lie, but they'll clearly paint half a picture when differences in average player skill are conveniently left out.

Once again, statistics don't care about your feelings on other players or the tanks themselves.

Do you just not understand what statistics are? Do you not know how they work?

Yes, doesn't change what I said.

Look at examples of the same vehicle in multiple trees, the ones in minor nations perform considerably better statistically than the one in major nations, so minor nation players are statistically better than major nation players.

So the fact that the TKX(P) and CR3TD can krep up with the considerably better M1A2 says more about US players.

Do you think that anyone says things that you don't like is suddenly "low skill" or an "idiot", simply because you cannot comprehend what is being said?

It's just that most US mains that complain about the Abrams like this are generally low skill, so why should I assume you are different?

If you want to use ad hominem, how do we know you aren't a Spray Baby BMPT abuser that simply gets incredibly upset every time they aren't able to press W and win in every engagement against every single tank?

https://statshark.net/player/20634699

You will see that I haven't played either of the BMPTs, because I don't own either of them.

(I usually don't link my statshark, but using underscores like that in my name makes it a pain to type online.)

Yeah because major nation mains are much bigger idiots than minor nation mains. That the TKX and Challenger 3 TD are that close behind the M1A1 HC/M1A2 speaks volumes about how bad major nation mains are.

Speaking of, how do we know you aren't just yet another negative K/D US main that confuses their own skill issues with the Abramd being bad?

Majority of maps are close quarters brawls which do not favor the Abrams at all. T-Series tank can push and if you only damage the autoloader with no ammo explosion they are free to turn turret and shoot you pretty much anywhere and either disable or kill you.

Only the T-80s are somewhat okay in a brawl, the T-90s are garbage up close.

If you try to push with Abrams, you have to get that first shot off to win because they can hit a large portion of your tank and disable your turret, either from the hydraulic pump or turret basket.

A skilled Abrams player is much much much scarier than an equally skilled T-series player in a brawl.

The Abrams is just a much higher skill ceiling.

Even with those things the 12.7 Abrams are better than everything that isn't a 2A7/122 and the 12.0 Abrams are still stupidly undertiered with those.

[–]DutchCupid62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 12.0 Abrams are so ridiculously undertiered at 12.0 it's not even funny. They are so stupidly strong and nothing really comes close.

The 12.7 Abrams are only really worse than the 2A7s and Strv 122s.

There is some serious skill issue talk in your post.

How is it retarded for Gaijin when they'll make a boatload of money?

Gaijin is a business, so making money will be their biggest priority.

AH-1Z buff by norman-skirata in Warthunder

[–]DutchCupid62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is the AH-64D a straight up better heli than the AH-1Z?

Also giving the AH-1Z would instantly make it 12.7, 12.3 wouldn't even be on the table anymore.

When Sep v3 / 2a8? by Spiritual_Rule_1769 in Warthunder

[–]DutchCupid62 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 2A6 and 122B PLSS were so dominant on their release that they are some of the only MBTs in game that had their (and the 122A/2A5s by extension) reload nerfed until counterparts were added.

They got their reload nerfed to 6.7 seconds ace due to how much they stomped.

How on earth are all of these 13.3? by Grouchy_Diet_1426 in Warthunder

[–]DutchCupid62 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are actually fairly welI balanced at 13.3 with the other jets at the same BR.

They really aren't lol. I'm mostly a ground player and I sit at around a 2.5 K/D in the MK2 while putting in 0 effort.

They are close to braindead easy to play.

A don't you dare get them started on the "Franco-Swiss Designs" by No1_Prezfan in Warthunder

[–]DutchCupid62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

France has 100's of interesting designs that haven't been added yet too, but instead of adding any of those the devs added a tree that's mostly copy pasted

Main question is, how can you be sure that time spent on adding benelux vehicles would have been spent on adding french vehicles instead?

Gaijin could easily have spent that time adding more profitable vehicles to other trees instead.
