Gaijin it’s a known issue it’s way too easy to damage the USA Abrams turret ring and it’s way over do for being corrected.
The turret needs to be lowered down or just decrease the gap which is way too easy to hit. The enemy doesn’t even have to really aim as long as they’re hitting close and the round locks the turret ring and basically is a death shot. It happens way too easy and way too often. There has already been proof provided that your design is off and making it way too easy to disable this tank.
It’s bad enough the gun is way too easy to take out lately at least you can correct the turret ring issue.
Is it really a bug though? They’ve known about this for a while and it’s a design of the vehicle. It’s not like a weapon malfunction or ammo etc.
Would it technically be seen as a bug? And if I don’t submit a bug report would a suggestion moderator here move it to a different section for bug suggestions? Or is completely up to us to do the bug report and if I don’t it’ll just stay here as something to talk about only?
If the Abrams wasn’t easy to kill then the game wouldn’t be enjoyable for 80% of the playerbase. Enjoy your place in War Thunder as cannon fodder and suffer with dignity rather than whining about things as fickle as modeling.
Yeah, not like we don’t have to do anything like try to hide the hull behind a hill because it’s almost a guaranteed OHK, but also have to try to hide the turret ring for sure as well. For one of the largest MBTs in the game and world, Gaijin has it modeled basically as glass.
I will say with my Leos I’m getting some turret rings being damaged and guns hit quite a bit, but not near as much as the Abrams.
There is also an advantage of being huge as f in this game though lol at least with the Abrams the crews are not sitting next to each other like the Russians do in their tiny T-series, so post pen doesn’t always guarantee an OHKO, where you only has to kill two crews sitting in jerk off distance in any late T-series to secure a KO.
Don’t forget about that handy dandy hydraulic pump placed right in the center in a nice and low armories area for the shots from the side and rear that broke l take your mobility and gun with ease
Agreed, the entire hull and breach being easy shots is not enough. Hopefully the Abrams armor can be replaced with marshmallows and hope, then things will be truly fair.
the tank is literally designed to bounce rounds up to 3bm42 off the upper frontal panel. it did this when it first came out but players complained. 3bm42 will go right through the upper front and turret ring which is hella inaccurate to the tank irl. This was confirmed by a US Abrams Commander who worked every position on the vehicle. its the same thing that happened to bomber mains in 2014. just players who want easy kills without any competition.
now we have a nation thats got a 75% plus loss ratio and the tank barely scratches the surface of a 1 to 1 kill death ratio. This has been like this for years and nothing has happened. You can kill the tank frontally with a 12.7 mm mg Ask me how i know.
yup IRL the sep abrams are immune to just about every tank weapon in this game, none of the russian atgms can penetrate the Turret armor and none of their ammo can penetrate the Hull or the turret.
