Ngl I would trade the reload buffs for these historical buffs

Am I being bombarded by China mains right now who can’t read the thread title? You know you’re allowed to complain about China just as much as we are allowed to complain about America? Both are undeservedly mismanaged by the developer.
Abrams mobility underperforms in the game. Most tanks do. The games’ traction and track physics is complete nonsense.

Most of the complaining come from people at the beginning of the thread lumping China in with the nations that actually get their bug reports accepted and vehicles modeled correctly.

I would like to see it buff, but the question is
what else left for them to buff? since Gaijin fight with tooth and nail not to give them DU hull insert
Can see the thread has gotten quite off topic, this isn’t a China suffers thread, please keep the thread on topic.
As for those who replied to me regarding the bug reporting system - It is what it is. I understand that it’s frustrating not having your reports actioned. If you feel that a report was closed incorrectly or unjustly, your best bet would be to contact a technical or senior technical moderator. I’m not really in a position to assist on that front as I’m only here to help moderate the forum.
Any further grievances please take it to PM, it’s not appropriate here.

yes, they also gave the M829A2 to the damn clickbait and HC so now you can literally pay for a top tier round.
The abrams has a 5 second reload arguably the best dart in game if not bes then 2nd best.
great mobility, great turret armour bar to the absolute highest pen darts like the 152.
Has decent survivability biggest weakness is the turret ring but a good hulldown spot sorts that.
so yeah they just want the damn tank to be an indesctructible machine that can hold W and win.
Rn ive had my ass kicked a good few times by american teams doing just that.

you seen the list for the challanger 2? its had god knows how many bug reports, there was a list of stuff in one of the roadmaps that gaijin claimed to be fixing and fixed about 1/3rd of it n just called it a day.
While i dont think the abrams needs more buffs, the other tanks you mentioned are certainly lacking and much more of a slog to play.
Its not about Buffs its about fixing inaccuracies.
This goes for every vehicle in this game, whether it indirectly causes buffs or not.

the game is also about balance as well.
also theres innacruacies in every single top tier tank due to the classification of documents, also the original topic literally is, Buff the top tier m1a2 abrams. and the dude wants ludicrous armour in the hull which no one knows if its true or not.

I mean yeah the armor isn’t physically 630mm thick, but the DU hull armor on at the very least 5 M1A1 hulls should be enough to get a DU-hulled Abrams in game with ~810mm KE protection (as well as fixing the turret cheeks’ protection to ~810mm KE as well, since the current values are based on non-DU numbers).
Tbh the buff/Fix that already got its bug report accept. Won’t really make Abrams break the balance in any way though.
More about thw dude wanting the abrams to become an impenetrable hold w machine.
The issue with the abrams now isnt the tank, its the players, the little tweeks like tbe turret side armour etc make sense and im for it.
But they gave a top tier round one of the best , which originally was only top tier, to 11.7 tanks which is ridiculous they can see 10.7.
Lets not even mention you can pay for the clickbait which has access to said round…
The abrams im using are fine thwy dont newd yet major buff like op wants aka DU hull inserts to make it a driving fortress

Okay so then make it less movile and drop its reload rate.
The abrams irl has been less protected8 than the challanger 2 so why doesnt the challanger 2 get close to what it has irl?
The game has to be balanced as well, to continuesly buff american equipment because the players cant use it, is not balance.
Im about 50k rp from the m1a2 abrams man and genuinely the m1a1, HC, IPM1 are all great tanks.
The 5 second reload , m829a2, great turret armour and mobile as hell makes them great tanks

This is simply lie.
Abrams has superior protection level than Challenger 2 in real life, Challenger 2 even lacks blowout panels which became standart protection level for almost any Nato tank.
Not to mention current Challenger 2’s armor overperforming in this game, you have no idea what you’re talking about.
The only buff Abrams has recieved is reload buff which other tanks also recieved, this is also lie.
Yet you’re performance on those tanks are nothing special, if they are such a great tanks why cant you perform better in those tanks compare to your Challenger’s service record?
There alway player like that in any nations though. And even with DU hull (assume Gaijin add prototype M1A2 that has DU from 5 prototype) They would still be comparable to Leopard2A7 / late STRV122s at best. (i would argued that Abrams is a bit wrost due to turret ring being issue in game.)

Forget the hull armor, fixing turret ring would alone will increase Abrams effectiveness a lot.

My opinion about abrams:
Abrams dont need more armor in game, maybe only the fuel tank protection which will improve ~20mm, if im not mistake, to the sides of the hull.
Abrams have two big deal:
-
it can be stun lock bc of the hydraulic pump location: 1 shot at the center, if not dead, you lose engine + pump and you became useless, just J out to respaw quicker… and that happens WAYYY to often…
(Community Bug Reporting System) -
Hur Dur turret ring, yeah, its a problem when small calibers can pen and kill you frontally… i dont care if any “conventional” round from any MBT kill me from there, but man… even DM13 can pen and kill an abrams thru turret ring.
Btw, the first M1 dont have this problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61ShulBArew
Without theses 2 knowledge about abrams, which no noob have, you cant play it correctly, even knowing it its hard some times depending of the map and that is what really bring down the abrams.
Even with theses 2 flaws still a good tank, but need to know what you are doing to do good. Maybe Gaijin should re-think about this once more new players start at US lineup…
Im finishing spading the 12.0 GER lineup and i missed some aspects of the US lineup: insane mobility, reload speed, 1 more gun depression angle angle (yes)… (remove the Leopard 2A7V from this, that is another level).

You pay for the entire top tier tank, because it is in fact the exact same tank as M1A2 but on a lower BR for some reason.
scuse me but the challanger 2 is touted and has been touted as one of the most survivable and defensive MBTs of its era and it has proven so time n time again. To claim otherwise is a lie. Hell even in you know where i wont mention, its done exceedingly better than anticipated, its missing armour packages, and still managed for the crew to survive after a direct hit with I believe a kornet missile was it?. Its literally designed around being able to take hits and fire back, even the challanger 3 which will have even more impressive composites is designed the same way.
the armour of the challanger 2 in game is massively under performing.
Id like you to provide a source to state that its over performing in any capacity at all.
The challanger 2s i do far worse with over all compared to the abrams and specifically i have 5 challanger 2s to 3 abrams.
hell most the challanger 2s ive got arent even 1.0 KD so yeah.
yeah i dont get why its bellow the M1a2, the M1a1HC either, i mean the M1a2 is still 11.7 as well xD for some reason.
