^ external composite added to the LFP as a modular kit. (Could be an add-on)
“The hull and turret integrate a new armour package”
"The M1A2 SEPv3 includes multiple upgrades to improve:
Power generation and distribution to support power
demands of future technologies
Network compatibility
Survivability against multiple threat"
"Enhanced Survivability and Lethality
Upgraded armor, a new protection package and an ammunition datalink improve crew protection "
Gaijin has gambled before due to a lack of information but it is clear the Abrams is far more superior in real life than In* War Thunder
The SEP V3 is supposed to have better protection than that ^
Gaijin completely ignored all of my bug reports and photo evidence where I clearly demonstrated that the lower glacis (LFP) was increased by roughly 20–30%. Sure, they improved the turret cheeks, but what difference does that really make? I don’t know, it’s all pretty disappointing.
Many people are saying it would have been better if they hadn’t added this tank at all, because the introduction of the M1A2C will most likely be used as an excuse to further buff Soviet tanks or introduce something even more overpowered, like a T-90M2.
So we ended up with two major disappointments in this update: the M1A2C, which is practically unchanged, and the M829A3 round, which has essentially the same performance values as the M829A2.
At this point, I don’t think it’s realistic to expect the M1A2D within the next 2–5 years, so for many players this may be the end of playing the U.S. ground tree.
