And this isn’t DM53 even, I’m using M829A2 here.
Right so Abrams giant lower plate that is almost equal to entire Leopards upper+lower plate doesnt mean anything?
See, now that I’ve called you out on not mentioning things, you finally have started to mention them, now, refer to what I have already posted:
M1s turret ring is its weakspot. Leo 2s hull is its weakspot.
And no, Abrams’s lower isn’t “almost equal”;
It about 1.4 times smaller in terms of coverage.
Sure lets look, which tank does have more exposed turret ring?
Funny thing, they both are pretty exposed in absolute terms as the protection offered by either is non-existent, but the only reason why 2A6s turret ring hasn’t caught on is because it’s not as much visible as M1s.
Which does have Giant lower frontal plate that is almost equal to entire frontal hull
Which it isn’t, refer to the screenshots above.
which tank does have exposed hydraulic pump that is placed in wrong place
Conga line vs hydraulic pump.
which tank doesnt have any spall liner?
M1s, sure, but 2A6s turret side liners aren’t a whole lot relevant, at least not any more than M1s frontal fuel tanks are (but hey, I’m down for you insisting that those spall liners are somehow doing “God’s work”, because then it gives me justification to start mentioning how M1s fuel tanks have saved my ass on many occassions, whereas the same can’t be said about the Leo 2s ;^). )
M1’s right Turret cheeks,
Feel free to guess which is M829A2 and which is DM53.
T72’s/80’s upper frontal plate
Neither has any real chance against T-72s frontal, their chances against T-80(U’s, specifically) is about 50% at all times.
Chally2’s ufp are more suspectible to DM53
Challenged 2’s upper frontal plate is worthy only about ~530 to like ~540mm RHAe KE if we were to ignore volumetric on the edge of adjacent steel plates, neither round has any issue with it.
So its either Leopard significantly lacks its mobility or your claim lacks certain truth.
Or, hear me out, M1s RPMs allow it to keep up very well despite taking up on additional weight, crazy I know. A 66.5 ton 2A7V is only about a whole second slower than the 2A6 when both have their crews aced, why would the 65.4 ton SEPv1, which when spaded has actually slightly more hp, be somehow significantly slower? The M1s are also go-karts at lower speeds compared to pretty much everything that isn’t a Type 10.
Not to mention TUSK kit makes you HE magnet due to additional protection on roof mg, and it makes you to spot easier.
Yes, I’ve noticed, but it’s not like this is anything new or shocking. NATO tanks have always been HE magnets with their CITVs so it’s a moot point if nothing else.
your attitude changes quite fast when someone doesnt agree with you on leopards or Abrams.
Because it’s one thing when you state that M1s are worse than the 2A7V, and another when all of the sudden 2A6 becomes the second-best MBT model in the game right after the up-armored Leo 2s, cause it has been “dethroned” from that position by the SEPs long time ago.
