There is s serious matchmaking funk. Too many battles where a team has lost before battle begins. Also the fact that gold ammo has almost become a staple to live is killing this game. And while im at it the entire American line of tanks is a joke. Weak guns and no armor. Get real. You want people to enjoy this game. Fix the matchmaking. Reduce the necessity of gold ammo and for gods sake beef up the entire american tank line. As it is the tier x American tank line is evenly matched with tier 8 or 9 of other countries!

Oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that WG removed the T95 and T110E3 from Blitz. Must've been a hidden update. My bad.

[Androyce]

You know you don't need to use gold to purchase premium ammo right? And as pointed out above, there are a number of pretty OP American tanks.

And the M46 Patton.  And the M48 Patton.  And the...yeah, we could go on and on.  There's plenty of American tanks that are fantastic.  You just have to learn how to play them correctly.

 

Here's where we say: It's not the tank, it's the driver.

Love the American line.

I personally don't like the Pattons all that much. They're armorless and barely more maneuverable than their German counterparts, who have marginally superior armor (and equal firepower). I've heard plenty of arguments that the US medium line is the weak link in Blitz. That being said, I'm well aware that a good driver can turn any tank into a killing machine, and know not to underestimate the M46/48 at any time.

 

However, to say that the faction with the T29, M103, T110E5, T95, T110E3, T30, and T110E4 is underpowered is beyond laughable. Try to circle a well-driven E5 and tell me it's bad. Try to facehug an E3 and tell me it's poorly armored. Try to outgun an E4 and tell me it lacks firepower.

Anyone who says that doesn't know how to drive an American Medium properly.  The M46 Patton's DPM is 2551 with 218 avg pen.  E50's DPM is 2377 with 220 avg pen.  Granted that's only 7% higher DPM, but it's still something.  E50 makes a better sniper, with 25% better accuracy, but nobody in their right mind plays an E50 like that.  My stats in both of those tanks are almost identical, but avg dmg is higher in Patton by just shy of 100.

 

You want to see armorless?  Try the Centurions. 

[BearHawkMan]

For patrons, it is definitely the driver, the tank is just played wrong by your average tanker. It may have no armour, but it has got a great gun. Also, the E5 is the best heavy, no doubt. Its got amazing armour, it's only real eeakspots are the tiny lower glacis and the tumor on its turret, which is still hard to hit. I don't need to say anything about the E3, but the E4 is bad.

And don't forget that the Pershing is a solid tank, though the people who use it don't play very well from my experiance.

I appreciate that this game is frustrating sometimes; pretty much everyone feels that way. Looking at your stats, however, it seems that you've played almost all of your battles in U.S. tanks, and done better than average in most of them. I'm thinking it might be time to diversify to some of the other lines. They have their own frustrations, but the change might improve your enjoyment of the game.

 

You might also enjoy diversifying the tiers you play at. It looks like you've played lots and lots of high tier battles. You might try repurchasing some of the lower tier tanks you enjoyed (if you sold them) and playing games at various tiers to change up your gameplay and reduce frustration.

I keep HE, 'gold' ammo, and the AP on board at all times. People just run around with AP all day thinking that will be sufficient. It would help if people would learn to adapt vs complain about not being able to pen. 10 rounds of 'gold' ammo pays for itself if it means a win.

Why don't you record some of your battles and post them on YouTube.  Then we can get a better idea of what sort of player you are.  If you're running out into the middle of the enemy team wondering why you die, that's the problem.  Without seeing how you play, nobody can take your complaints seriously.

The new T30 is so good I swear I am in a russian tank. Every nation has great tanks and the U.S. is no slouch.
