Tip vs Tanks ? US player, impossible to win vs t-80 & t-90
Title: How do US players deal with Russian heavy tanks?
I've been playing the US almost exclusively, and lately I've been struggling a lot against Russian heavy armor.
I keep losing head-to-head engagements against T-80s, T-90s, T-14s, and even Terminators. It honestly doesn't seem to matter which Abrams I'm using (M1A2, SEP V2, SEP V3, Trophy-equipped, extra armor upgrades, etc.). Even when I outnumber them, I often end up losing the fight.
I feel like I'm missing something fundamental. Are Abrams just not meant to duel these tanks directly, or am I using them the wrong way?
So I'd like to ask the more experienced US players:
- What are your go-to strategies against Russian heavy armor?
- Which units do you usually pair with Abrams?
- Are there specific ATGM teams, helicopters, artillery, or air assets that work particularly well?
- Do you avoid direct tank fights altogether?
- Any positioning or micro tips that make a big difference?
I'd really appreciate any advice, because right now it feels like every time I run into a group of Russian heavy tanks, I know I'm about to lose a lot of expensive Abrams.
Thanks!
