To be honest, as most country that are considered trash in war thunder top tier, its often either the playerbase of said nation that is really poor or the vehicule that are not good. For USA, its 80% the first case, i find USA vehicule great in general, sure its not as tanky as a T90/T80BVM or STR122B but they are pretty fast, good round + reload and you have lots of backup (M1A2 x3, AIM, HC, Click Bait (if you have), HSTVL is great but situational, the Adats isnt the best AA but it can do its job vs tank too. And you have lots of different heli / plane to choose from. The main issue is, as i said, the usa playerbase, with most people being bad, + one/two death quitter. Also they often face country with either broken CAS/SPAA (RUSSIA) or Tanky tank (GER/SWE), coupling that with what i said before and, as a great -ish player you'll often find yourself last alive getting stomped by a full team.

Agreed. While I certainly believe Gaijin is being a little dishonest with how it implements late tier American tanks (this isn't an issue for just the US, mind), a lot of it is that it's like the teams don't even fucking try to fight lmao Like sure, maybe other nations have better tanks or better SPAA or what have you (as you mentioned), but for fuck's sake there is no excuse to blow as much as high tier American teams. It's a struggle sometimes but not "lose 9 out of 10 matches within ten minutes" struggle.

Honestly, even though there's a lot of cool shit to get at higher tier US (maybe overtiered but generally usable and just cool vehicles), it's not worth it because the US routinely has a dogshit winrate across the board above like 7.3. It's genuinely miserable to end up on an American team at 8.0 onwards. It's practically a guaranteed, crushing defeat. I don't care why it happens, I just see that it does and it really detracts from the experience overall if every match you play has your team evaporating in two minutes flat. Used to be an American main, I got to the Abrams when the Abrams was brand new. I practically never touch my high tier American tanks though, just because it blows to be on an American team at high tier.

The Abrams has some problems that puts it below some of the other top tier tanks, but it's certainly not anywhere near bad enough to justify how poorly American teams actually perform in battle. I don't play high tier America, so I can't comment on exactly how or why they are doing so poorly, but it's becoming a problem that even hurts my enjoyment to play other nations simply because of the threat of being on the same team as the Americans. Every so often they will surprise me in a battle, but it's pretty rare to see them do well, unless they get carried by another nation (like the Swedes).
