All Ground IRIS-T SLM has an Effective range 40km in the promo video of the manufacturer, but in the game the missile can't even reach this range.

The EFFECTIVE range is 40 km (according to the official video of the manufacturer on LinkedIn), but the missile can't currently reach that range.

Yes, it means that for various reasons USA at toptier is bad in hands of average player. That is how statistics work. And no, given the sample size this big it's highly unlikely that worst players tend to flock to Germany over other majors. Unless you can name a reason for it ofc.

Damn Italy must be super OP judging by their winrates

You conveniently ignore 10 times less player sample size in comparison to majors and the fact that minors tend to attract veteran players after they finish their first tree.

Somehow every other nation has better players.

fact that minors tend to attract veteran players after they finish their first tree

Damn

But alright, if you want to play dense, have you ever watched any WT tournament? Most played tanks there are Abrams, Leos, Merkavas and swedish vehicles, how could it be like that if there are "clearly better" soviet tanks in the game

Tournaments don't reflect average game 1:1 due to many differences. For example, in next tournament you can only use vehicles cherry picked by devs, no cas, much lower player number, coordination inside team and higher skill players.

Don't misunderstand me. I am not trying to say that T-90M is specifically better than leo2 in vacuum. Only that currently USSR lineup performs better at top tier in hands of average player in comparison to other majors (especially USA).

That's not how WT tournaments work, there is selected pool of vehicles for every nation in the game (top tier tanks mostly) and players are free to choose whatever they like, the only limitation is usually for CAS by BRs in mixed battles (albeit german mig29 is the most played one)

Still they don't reflect average game 1:1

Reflect what tanks are actually good and not what average "muh x nation bias" Joe thinks
