Buff the (Top-Tier) M1A2 Abrams!

I think it still possible to install ARAT-1 on turret side like ARAT-2 does. But they didn’t. Might be weight concern as you said or they deem it already had adequate CE protection on turret side compare to hull side. or both reason
Ukrain Abrams outright install Kontakt 1 there.

That neat. But for some reason in report 2 about turret side armour against CE threat by 250%
Gaijin took too long to adjust. When they can change the value in the file to make that happen. For others report that would require them to remodel the vehicles. I understand why it take them so long.

But they didn’t buff the round, it’s still one of the lowest penning top tier rounds

24

Don’t lump in China, all of the top tier tanks are missing their spall liners, have the wrong reload, wrong pen, wrong depression, the ztz’s are missing their laser aps, and the planes are fucked. Missing flares, missiles, 2 the planes in rank 8 have missiles that they never carried in real life. The j11a still has the wrong radar and rwr, the jh7a is still missing its pl12’s, and the f16 is still missing most of its air to air and air to ground loadout, including aim120’s. All of this has been bug reported with sources, some of it acceptable months or in some cases over a year ago.

I’ve seen lot of them but seem it got ignored

Gaijin has been informed with multiple sources in the past yet they claimed they dont believe those sources are accurate, despite they were coming directly from General Dynamic and minister of defence.

This so called ‘‘share you information so we can take action’’ claim has been debunked by Gaijin itself multiple times, Gaijin will only take actions when they want to. Gaijin still believes Strv122 series has better armor than Leopard2A7V despite its an older design.

Merkava 4’S, Chinese tanks,Leclerc’s and Abrams Bug reports and many of them are clear proof for that.

So yeah people doesnt believe you when you guys say ‘‘please share your information with us’’, especially when you guys basically ask classified reports in order to take slight action.

The American faction has the strongest air force, Russia, as well as Germany / Sweden has the strongest army, and you compare it with China? Is the 99A stronger than the 122B+, or is the JH7A better than the F16C? Please understand the reality that the American faction is not weak, and M1A2 is suitable enough for the United States.

The potential for the Chinese faction to outperform the others is there. They have superior short range air defense, superior close air support, superior numbers of T-90M equivalent vehicles and a larger number of them equipped with hard kill active protection systems. China has been held back as much as the US but this is no excuse for the US stuff to be ignored as well.

Lack of progress in China is not justification to ignore problems with the vehicles in the US tech tree.

Quit false reporting posts

As if you guys don’t already know there are accepted changes that have been accepted for 7 months and you won’t make the changes

But bro, from a gaming perspective, a first-rate air force and a second-rate army are really not as bad as you might think.

As a Soviet player
I am satisfied that Abrams will be made stronger, provided that its mobility becomes weaker

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.
