Ive been using the abrams for i want to say a good two or three years, and i just cant find any use for it whatsoever, so i wanted to ask for any opinions, because so far in my experience
-it has zero armor anywhere, and absolutely every spot on the tank is a one shot aside from the turret cheeks
-its mobility is meh, barely being better than leos and T80s
-american CAS / SPAAs arent that good, atleast compared to russia
-having a good shell doesnt seem that useful when im just shooting the same spot i would be shooting in an HSTV-L
im just really lost at seeing any use for any of the abrams variants whatsoever, so i figured id ask around and see what other peopel think or any advice i can gather

Since u ll playing CQC maps most of the time, having a max of 5s reload it´s rlly good + a good round. Just try to don´t get hit (this applies to any top tier tank).

oh boy here we go again.
ive seen alot of people say its the ebst MBT in all of top tier and an ustoppable monster in the right hands, talking it up as much as the BMPT but i just dont see a good use for it, so i figured id ask what anyone else has to say
I wouldnt say its the best, thats leopard 2 and by a LOT. However i certainly think its the 2nd best MBT at top tier. ill be getting the M1A1 aim as my next squadron vehicle so i can test that myself.
This is true for any tank bar a few examples and the abrams isnt the outlier to that rule
Like all tanks above 11.0 never rely on armour, stay mobile and faster reflexes win more than the vehicle itself. the average america main is not very highly skilled so dont trust them to have your back too

After playing All of the Abrams in American tech tree , Leo 2A5/PL and T-80UK. I would say Abram is definitely my favorite. In terms of mobility Abrams would be at second placed and T-80UK at first with leo being at third. It is a extremely good hull down tank with 1 degree more gun depression than leopard which has been useful a hell lot of time. You just cannot be pushing with Abrams and after addition of turret basket same cannot be done with leopard. At least the ones that are not 2A7V. Abrams were also recently buffed , their sounds were changed which IMO makes them more stealthy than other tanks and SEPV2 got ROSY system which gives the SEP V2 LWS which the leopard lack.
True. but sometimes on tanks such as T-80UE-1 and T-80Uk which have older ERA, you can sometimes just upper front plate them
Only thing bad about Abrams is the American team. I just sometime feel like they are the most retarded players in the game. The teams also are bad in Germany and Russia but not as bad as US teams
Also reload on Leo is longer than Abrams if not aced and IMO that’s a very big downside

Welcome in War Thunder, the russian bias simulator.
Abrams, Leclercs, Arietes, Challengers, Merkavas, Types : they all have cardboard armor.
According to Gaijin, NATO MBTs have as much armor as a simple car. Russia dominates everywhere.
