Does the Abrams have a spall liner? No from what I could find

Brother in Christ it’s not misleading considering you have no other tanks to compare to, those are genuinely the only high tier US tanks you have. You legitimately do better in Chinese tanks and your stats show it. If anything it bolsters the argument that you have no room to be commenting on US top tier on the basis of a lack of experience

I’ve killed hundreds of T-80s, T-72s and I’ve killed BVMs and T-90Ms.
Exact. Same. Weakspots.

No. You have not “literally” played M1A2 SEP, M1A2 SEPv2, M1A1 HC or M1A1 AIM against hordes of 2A7Vs, 2A7HUs, 122B+s, 122B PLSSs,122As and BVMs.

You played a bunch of matches with M1 and IPM1 against Leopard 2Ks and T-64Bs in 2018.

I did the exact same while playing those vehicles in 2018 with far less experience.
Are you just all mentally ill?

In that same year - I played the M36 GMC and I had a slightly over 1 K/D.
Last year, I played the Chinese M36 GMC and I had a 2 K/D. Completely different people.

Couldnt care less about what you think about those vehicles.

Without solid experience and knowledge your words doesnt mean anything, now go back to your Chinese tanks thread where you can complain about why Gaijin still hasnt add their Spall Liners.

Not “think”. Very objective reality that anyone can see when facing those vehicles and in the hangar protection analysis.

Not related to my opinions whatsoever.


I mean your ZTZ96A P has better stats than your Abrams but okay I’m mentally ill apparently. Maybe play the Abrams again since it’s been six years if you don’t like that the ZTZ has a higher kd.

As if someone who can have objective opinions when they lack solid experience on those vehicles, not to mention it s a common knowledge that protection analysis isnt hundred percent accurate.

You proved nothing but only how clueless and unexperienced you are when it comes to other Nations vehicles.

Coming back to this bit, this is a pretty easy shot to make when an Abrams is hull down and you can only see the turret (so not the turret ring). pretty much every time I hit it in the test drive the ammo cooked off.

I know this is in the test drive, but I couldn’t quickly find a friend that has the abrams online to do a bit more of a real test.

EDIT: Ah shit, seems like medal doesn’t like cooperating today.

Call me when you need to do those kind of tests.

Always happy to help.

A test drive is completely pointless. I one-shot the M1 Abrams every single time with the ZBD04A’s APS03 in the test drive, but it doesn’t happen in a real match because (hopefully) the enemies that you’re facing are actual living humans with thoughts in their head and proper positioning.

You keep talking about “experience” even when facing objective facts. It really doesn’t matter what you seem to think. I’m not even stating opinions. I literally edited that post with a very simple comparison in the hangar. Immutable.

As a wise man said: Never argue with the ignorant, because he will always prove you wrong with his ignorance.

Exactly.

Thanks for agreeing that how ignorant you are.

At least you show some experience in that case.

Since you like using K/Ds as an argument, let’s try taking myself, an all-nation player, as an example to illustrate my point:

Germany:
Leopard 2A7V: 1.97 (+)
Leopard 2A6: 1.38 (+)
Leopard 2 PSO: 1.30 (+)
Leopard 2A5: 1.25 (+)
Leopard 2 PL: 1.14 (+)

Sweden:
Strv 122B PLSS: 1.40 (+)
Strv 122A: 1.32 (+)
Strv 122B+: 1.30 (+)

Japan:
Type 10: 1.58 (+)
TKX: 1.53 (+)
Type 90: 1.40 (+)
Type 90 (B): 1.37 (+)

Russia:
T-80BVM: 1.24 (+)
T-72B3: 1.16 (+)
T-90M: 1.11 (+)
T-80U: 1.01 (+)

U.K:
Challenger 3 (TD): 1.26 (+)
Black Night: 1.15 (+)
Challenger 2E: 1.12 (+)
Challenger 2 (2F): 1.08 (+)
Challenger 2: 0.98 (-)
Challenger 2 TES: 0.97 (-)

France:
Leclerc S.1: 1.20 (+)
Leclerc S.2: 1.14 (+)

Israel:
Merkava Mk.4M: 1.15 (+)
Merkava Mk.4B: 1.13 (+)
Merkava Mk.4LIC: 1.08 (+)

America:
M1A2 SEPv2: 1.41 (+)
M1A1 HC: 1.17 (+)
M1A2: 0.97 (-)
M1A2 SEP: 0.96 (-)
M1A1 AIM: 0.90 (-)

Now… why may that be?

And before you jump in to stat-shame or say “skill issue”, I know I am far from being a good player, as I am merely average and I don’t care to do any better. I play War Thunder extremely casual while browsing the Forums, watching shorts, playing music, eating ice cream and generally not caring a single bit about K/Ds.

But if the Abrams tanks are so OP and so good… why could I possibly perform worse on them than on many other MBTs I have? If they are so OP and so good, shouldn’t it carry this noob’s matches? Isn’t that what OP vehicles do?

Wouldn’t you agree that, when the same player plays many vehicles the exact same way… the performance is decided at least mostly by the vehicle’s capabilities?

Objective means it can be proven with facts and numbers, but you have yet to prove anything you said.

ZTZ-96A (P):

  • Played last year
  • A premium vehicle spaded from the get-go
  • 1.8 K/D

M1 Abrams:

  • Played in 2018 as a far less knowledgeable player
  • Still lacking every single rank 3 and 4 modification (played without premium)
  • 1.7 K/D

It’s very hard when you make such extremely outlandish statements.

The things I’ve said? Almost all of which were numbers taken directly from the game?

How do you intend to disprove this:

I’m using a hacked client, perhaps? Do you want me to send you a DxDiag like when making a bug report?
I’m perfectly fine with arguing with 4 people at the same time by myself.

Thought you were talking about the Abrams being hard to one shot or hard to deal with when hull down, I can see this point about the T-80B vs BVM armor at their respective BRs.

However you have yet to say anything objective about the Abrams survivability, because someone with 2-3 braincells should be able to easily dispatch of a hull down Abrams.

Player experience at the time of playing is an excuse as far as I’m concerned. From your post history you dismiss excuses quickly so I’ll do the same. Instead of making excuses why don’t you play the Abrams again and prove me wrong. The numbers don’t lie sneedle deedle if you don’t like them play and change them. Statistical significance of the difference was never a part of the argument, so I’ll say it again play the game and change your stats if you’re such a better player now.
