My K/D in the M1A2 is 1.06
My K/D in the T-90M is 1.11
This isn’t the W you think it is dawg. You are legitimately mentally ill.

Try to over pressure any top tier Russian mbt by shooting their cupola or roof Mg.

I would like to see the results.

T-90A ain’t a top tier tank, but it’s the best I can do for now, as I’m lazy to get a usermission.

M829A2 doesn’t penetrate 100% of the time at 3x the range… That’s the explicit purpose of M829A3.

What HHRA elements of NATO vehicles need to be added/tweaked? I’m not too familiar with where it may be or what effectiveness it currently has.

I didn’t know there was an ERA patent called “NATO ERA”

I’m going to assume because you’re being this anal about testing that the pentest won’t count?

And if I did it in a User Mission that wouldn’t count either because reasons?

Is the T-90A not a top-tier tank? Last I checked it fights 11.7s and offers better protection than the T-72B3/'89 pattern.

Oh my god! Two random and inconsistent outcomes happening in a row!!1!

Fake!!11!

Perhaps this is why the 99A is the same tier as the T-90M?

NATO:

  1. Most shells have pathetic amount of HE (less HE = less pressure)
  2. Weaker tank roof (half of the turret has 20mm) (less armor = easier to overpressure)

USSR

  • One of the best HE shells
  • 2 small areas of 30mm in the turret.

And that’s why it’s many times easier to kill some abrams with pressure on some t80 than vice versa. No hidden modifiers or secrets here. It’s just the way mechanics work.

And im going to assume you’re gonna use protection analysis due to lacking concrete video proof?

Not surprised tho.

Hmm T90A is top tier tank, Guess that makes T90M,T80-BVM and T72B3 Uber tanks.

Also T72B3 offers better side protection while having much better gun handling, you dont even know what you’re talking about.

Discussion was about Autoloader models that if they have hidden modifiers or not.

Check the topic before posting answer.

NATO:

  1. DM11 - 3.9kg of HE in an HE-F projectile

  2. Slsgr M/95 - 3.54kg of HE in an HE projectile

  3. M339 - 3.66kg of HE in an HE-F projectile

  4. M908 - 1.99kg of HE in a SAP penetrator + HEAT warhead

  5. M830A1 - 2.36kg of HE in a directional HEAT warhead

WP:

  1. 3OF19 - 3.15kg of HE in an HE projectile

  2. 3OF26 - 5.24kg of HE in an HE projectile

  3. DTB-125 - 5.46kg of HE in an HE projectile

  4. DTB12-125 - 5.3kg of HE in an HE-VT projectile

Relatively equal, granted the obvious increase in caliber which has its own drawback of abhorrent reload rate.

It makes them… Also top tier tanks.

It really isn’t a hard concept mate.

No side protection increase is seen in the T-72B3/['89/'90] package. It’s quite literally as armored as the T-90A, if not less due to weaker composite.
Gun handling is irrelevant to survivability. Do not derail the topic.
