How Good Is American Top Tier (BR 9.3+) 

Correction: the M60 AMBT has a 120mm cannon instead of a 105mm. Also the mobility is pretty great on it. Top speed isn’t too high but it’s at least quite maneuverable and accelerates well.

M3A3 is now got TOW-2A

Ex 19k (82-86) here. We loved the M1 w/ 105mm. In reality, the 105 rifled barrel meant that the original M1 was highly accurate, (more so than the 120). As the Range NCO, I observed demonstrations (for VIPs) where an M1 knocked the bottom out of a trash can at over 2000m. The 105’s other advantage was the choice of ammo: Sabot, HEAT, WEP (HE-AP), Willie Pete, Beehive (timed fuse AP), the A1’s 120 only had Sabot & Heat.

I really liked this type of video but I would love to see this with germany

If you play the LAV-AD exclusively as an aa, that’s why your having a bad time. It shreds every tank from the side. Edit: and If you say the WolfPack and M1128 are bad, you don’t know the play style I guess. Sit behind anything where you are hull down and free kills

You 100% should do this analysis with the minor trees at some point. This is an excellent series idea!

I really enjoy these discussion style videos 👍

Love this video! Plz do more about other countries!

I really enjoyed this format. More please.

Bradley getting the TOW-2A upcoming, should make it alot better to play

I've been grinding the US and really needed this video. Thanks dude!

The M3A3 Bradley has TOW-2As now, which have a max penetration value of 800mm and has tandems, which means it ignores ERA panels.

i like how no one can talk about the HSTV-L without paying tribute to spookston

Speaking of missiles in the American helicopter trees, I wish they'd fix the APKWS II missiles, since it's missing a good portion of it's speed and lethality. Not to mention it's maneuverability.

Don't worry Sako, Gaijin will make a premium Abrams right next to the M1 Aims soon

Actually I really like the video, but I'm going to give you exactly my insights so you understand "why": If I think about it, my favourite videos of you are actually the ones in which you review the most amount of vehicles in the shortest amount of time. For example, when I wanted to buy a Premium, I checked your "Premium guide" video to get a quick opinion on it. Obviously, you don't have reviews for all videos so a quick review on a big video compiling the most amount is for me the most useful. However, I don't fully understand why you reviewed the AMBT-60 but not the AGS and the CCVL, would love to see a review on those!

As far as MBTs for maximum tier go, the only tanks worth getting are the Stryker, SEP and Freebrams, all with high-res thermals which helps US tanks excel in long range sniping. For AA both LAV-AD and ADATs. HSTV-L of course, maybe Bradley A3 if you have enough crews unlocked. F-14B for air support is a must, maybe the A-6 if you have the $$$ for 10.3 setup. Helicopters are largely useless at maximum tier.

More of these please for other nations

Recent nerfs to the tow 2b?? The missile got destroyed about 2 months into its life span

When It starts to cost more lions to repair a vehicle than I make in a match, that's my top tier. 😂😂

Hey I use 6 Maverics missiles 2 GBU 8 bombs and 4xAIM7EF on my F-4E and its second best after F16

I mean, only in Gaijins world is the T80 comparable to a US M1A2 of any type. The US M1A2 (not the export version) has world class armor and ammunition. During Desert Storm, the old M1 was recorded to eat round after after from Iraqs older tanks. Yet these same tanks easily knock out the Abrams in top tier play. Gaijin naming its ground battles as "realistic" is basically false advertising. It should be "realistic for Putins dreams".

good overview of a Tree i dont play , help deal with them as a moronic UK main

US top tier would be the best if any of the features from the actual vehicle were there. You know, like DU armor (or actual proper armor modeling at all), DU rounds, targeting systems, etc.

In your opinion should they add premium Abrams somewhere in between 9.7-10.3, equivalent of the German Leopard Pzbtl 123?

i do think its a shame that america didnt develop a system like the pantsir or flakrad, they could use a better AA platform. the adats is the last one they tried and the air force didnt let the army have it because they think planes should do all the work.

Can you review the Shimakaze please?

I like how you release a video and the br immediately got outdated

New BR changes have come in so this video is already out of date

First of all, thank you for your content... awesome. i have a question. i finished the german tec tree... and i have both nations USA and RUSSIA on BR 8.0... but i don´t know which nation i should grind ?! im a heli guy and love the KA-52... also the Z-10... it´s hard for me to choose. maybe you can help me. cheers

Every tabk in-game is good if you just enjoy all biases

You released this RIGHT BEFORE the br changes lol. Still a good watch though.

The usa tech tree Is the one i want to grind but i Just can't. I'm at the jumbo and having to face only panthers and tigers Is just too painful

Ah1z could carry TOW missiles but they removed them when they added hellfires kinda dum idea from gajgin

Im using this to grind germany and its really fun 💀

Us 10.0 is absolutely goated, m1 abrahms, striker, chadley, lav, and either the av8, a10, thunderchief, littlebird, etc

AGS goated

In my experience, the Americans are pretty good. As long as you don’t have to fight the Panzier it’s just so far all above and beyond what everybody else can do that you can’t compete with that so there’s just no flying to talk to her unless you are Russian.

This is me being a nitpicking asshole, but with that in mind: @7:19 It's not a 105, it's a 120. The M60 AMBT also doesn't have ''awful mobility'' IMHO, it's got a 1200 hp engine instead of a 750 one so it's more mobile than a T-72 for sure. @9:59 Minor nitpick, but ''Improved *Performance* M1'', not ''Protection'' It should also be worth noting that virtually all top-tier tanks are moving up in BR this patch, except for the IPM1 and M1A1, they're very likely to become massively dominant when in capable hands. @10:44 The IPM1 and M1A1 both share ''BRL-2'' armour, the M1A1 HC does not share the same armour with the IPM1, but is the first tech tree M1 to feature DU armour. It also doesn't have a better gun than it's predecessor. @12:17 M1A2 does not have better armour. @12:40 ''Tank Urban Survival kit''. @21:45 M1's have smaller weakspots than Leo 2's thanks to the fact that the UFP of a Abrams is a autobounce to any APFSDS, whereas a 2A5's UFP can be penned by any of the top-tier darts.

I have no idea how you can view the Leopards as something superior compared to the Abrams in game, considering their only real advantage is slightly higher pen and smaller weakspots on the turret front, while being much worse in every other way. For starters, while the Abrams have the obvious turret ring weakspot, the Leopards have the entire hull as a weakspot lol, if we are going to talk about protection the Abrams has a much higher chance of ''bouncing'' up an APFSDS on the UFP whereas with the Leopards you just die, quite literally considering the driver side is a guaranteed one shot. About the weight, well believe or not you can just NOT use the TUSK to reduce weight, since it only hurts your mobility and could only save you against an stock shell on the side, something that should be quite rare. Honestly you can't complain about the SEP mobility while carrying all those useless ERA blocks (and the ridiculous machine gun protection that makes you even easier to spot) About other quality of life things of the Abrams, you failed to mention the HEAT with proximity fuse the Abrams have to shot down helicopters quite easily, Leopards on the other hand are helpless against them. Oh and also you can only carry 16 rounds with the Leopards to empty the front ammo rack. I'm sure some people (mostly those who don't survive for long) will be okay with that amount but it limits your effectiveness, mostly on long range maps where you are not likely to one shot everything, and most Russian tanks as well as Abrams rarely get one shot at those ranges anyway. I won't deny the Russians do have a better line up and (most importantly) a much better helicopter, but Germany is on par with the US at best, if you are super optimistic, and significantly below being objetive. We'll see how things change once the PSO is added in the next or nexts updates.

I just wish top teir british tanks would get a buff

I just wish they would add upgraded ammunition choices. The m829a2 is a very old round

Do one of these for every nation please 🙏

Noice

M1 Abrams needs M833

Can you remake this video since there’s been tons of new BR changes and lots has changed

Like the video do Russia next please

Germany next plz

Germany was my first top tier nation and I don't think it's better than US. Leo2A5/6 is basically a worse version of STRV122A/B. DM53 may be the best shell on the paper but I feel no difference compared with m95, 3BM60 and M829. German doesn't have a good line on the top tier, you have 2 MBT and 1 SPAA on 11.7 and then everything else is under 10.3. German CAS is also suffering in the current meta. The most disappointing thing is the teammate, I feel like German has the most 1-respawn player at 10.3 and 11.7, so many prem leo2a4 and leo PL players die in the first 3 minutes and then leave the game. I used to play 20 games on German 11.3 and lost 17 of them, the reason why I won the other 3 games is because I was on the same side as Russian.

I just want the Sep v2 with tusk 2.

XM-1 does well if you just pretend you are an M18

M 1 abrams need m833

How Good Is American Top Tier? Not as good because of Russian bias

US teams are so atrociously lacking in Skill that they instantly desintegrate the moment I get in a CAS plane to clear enemy positions. US teams are genuinely incompetent with only a handful of skilled players who singlehandedly get a consistent 4-7 kills per match. the Rank VII premiums also hurt the teams alot.

i feel like the americans are forced touse the early abrams production models, which are shit in game which forces so many players t buy the xm1 or the wolf. even the abrams and m1ip are pretty shit. only when you finaly get the m1a1 and the 120mm are you even capable of competing in game. but then relative to the other nations the m1a2s dont get that much better. they just keep pace with the meta.

I played a lot of USA and I can tell it has the worst vehicles for top tier in the entire game. Its borderline impossible to play at certain points. The Abrams tanks have simply no armor so russian mains dont even need to aim at weakspots. Gen 1 Thermals at 11.7? Horrible to play. And there no vehicles left they could add to improve the lineups somehow as in real life US ground vehicles are simply garbage. The only reason to play US is for their air tech tree, but whats the point of playing ground only to spawn in planes.

Pretty gimped

I'm really wondering why you believe that USA's top tier isn't as good as that of Germany. Right now we've got: - M1A2 SEP > Leo 2A6 - M1A2 = Leo 2A5 - M1A1 AIM >>> Leo 2PL - M1A1 HC >>> Leo 2A4 - IPM1 >>> Leo 2K Tanks wise, USA absolutely curbstomps Germany in terms of lineups and viable respawns. Germany is in pretty dire need of more/better MBTs IMO.

I think swe top tier is as good as ger for tanks anyway, dont no how good cas they have

isint sweden the best top tier?

I refuse to get top tier American because of all the other garbage you have to grind through.

Bad compared to russian one

America sucks, M1 is a 1 hit almost everytime

Most people don’t know they get spawn camped to fast because of all the level 16 1 death leaver premium players
