Description

This "Ranking" is applicable to all players, from beginners to pros.
Here's why:

1. There are no vehicles for "high-skill players" in this game, because this is not Dota, LoL, WoW, Deadlock, PUBG, etc. In this game and similar titles, such a concept is a myth. The community basically masks trash vehicles under this term.

2. A skilled player would make a bigger impact in battle on a better vehicle, same as a newbie, if not even more so.

3. A newbie would feel uncomfortable on a pretty bad vehicle, same as a skilled player, but the newbie's performance wouldn't drop nearly as much as a skilled one's in this game.

BUT
A skilled player could try to show his best on a low-quality vehicle, and of course a skilled player will always show better performance than a newbie on a bad vehicle.
It doesn't mean the vehicle isn't bad if you show a good performance on it.
And one more important point: A new player would learn faster on a better vehicle than on a bad one.
