Hey Kyra.
Remove TUSK, give M829A3 with proper anti-ERA measures (because it is improved enough it will shatter through Kontakt 1 and Kontakt 2), and improve turret cheeks AND the hull armor, because HAP-2 and HAP-3 armor buffs were not just a change to the DU screens, they were also a improvement on the ceramics, the fillers, and the spall liners involved.
PS: And fix the turret ring.
If Gaijin cannot or will not do at least two of those things in the next few updates, I’m not buying past the M1A2 SEPv1 in game, and I’m explaining to everyone that it’s just an export model without DU armor, because that’s collectively what they are right now.

I’m aware I’m not an acceptable source, but then, considering the massive amount of resources we’ve shown here, combined with an actual 1995 document telling us approximately the size and width of HAP-1 DU plating created and shipped (I’m still trying to get estimates on how wide those plates would be and how thick), we can approximately understand that both HAP-2 and HAP-3 were improved not only in filler to endure multiple hits, but also to endure heavier penetration from KE projectiles, and most certainly improved against CE.

Its called aggregation, and its valid. Once again, gaijins own words…That they lovingly backpeddle on.
Tired of the clown show here

Every single one is a FOMO event, so doesnt count
HSTVL is heavily over BRd and missing a bunch of features and is nerfed
XM1069 is not the best ADS, it only has 8 missiles, with no gun depression. The best ADS is the pantsir. The XM1069 is an OK TD and a Good ADS. Not the best.
Turkish M60, fights at a BR where spaced armor and ERA is present and it has none of that, its also a super rare event than no one has
MBT-70, same with germany, its an iconic vehicle that grandfathered US MBTs, the XM803 could’ve been a premium, but it was introduced in a time where top tier was small. Neither are meta, and face constant uptiers and have recieved big APFSDS nerfs
YAH64, no flares at a high BR, the grind is miserable, only have 114Bs, its nothing vs the 2 Ka’s.

If they take of the garbage that is TUSK 2 I will get the v2, until they buff or do that. It is a waste of a slot.

Setting aside primary sources, secondary sources and whatever for a moment- how likely, just by logic, do you all find the idea of the United States of America being as negligent as to not upgrading the armor of their workhorse Main Battle Tank since 1979/1987 (hull/turret, respectively) up to the present day?

Considering how obsessive compulsive the US Military tends to be about maintaining a degree of over-match? Exceedingly low odds there.

They can’t find people to crew said tanks to begin with… Do you think upgrading the armor is their biggest concern
When reading through the full document that Gaijin used to say only 5 hulls existed, it talks about the SEP program. It is highly likely the 5 prototype were for the SEP program. But can not find anything that proves it was approved for the production.

At this stage I wouldn’t care whether or not it’s a DU hull so long the protection is noticeably improved.

Can someone tell me why all the Abrams(and HVSTL) are so horrifically loud? To the point that trying to play them as glass canons and not get hit is much more harder than other tanks with no armor like the type 10/tkx I also play?
I don’t think people fully understand just how bad it is when everyone with anyone with ears and a brain cell can pinpoint exactly what area you are in with sound alone consistently within 800m with out needing to sound whore or turn your own engines off. Literally no element of surprise at all

Hah came back from new year’s tip still nothing change at all
“Turbine Engine Loud” or something
but I think irl its really quiet until like 200m or so, just going off the top of my head so could be completely wrong

I think part of the dev team celebrates orthodox (or whatever it’s called) christmas, so it was never reallistic to expect anything to really change before the second half of January.

This is true, even as Protestants, my family and I keep our Christmas lights out as tradition dictates for the next three weeks in recognition of the three wise men traversing to meet Yeshua.
Orthodox Catholics or Protestants equally recognize this, at least simply to keep the spirit of Christmas in mind.
At the very least, they can return to us and read these suggestions (it would help I think if they saw that we’re not being unreasonable in asking for buffs for every nation).

The problem lies in the way we can turn up the engine noise of enemies to ascertain their location. It’s often used by ‘leets’ like myself to help prepare for sudden changes.
In the turbine’s case, the whine shouldn’t be able to be heard, the tracks would be. At least if you were an infantryman or groundpounder. You’d hear a distant rumble first, and then your ears catch the whine.
By contrast, diesels’ grumbling are heard from roughly 500 meters, and in certain areas they resonate even more loudly.
This is different only if you are behind the Abrams. Then the turbine’s pitch is directed at you, and clearly becomes loud as hell.
But in real life, no tanker hears much beyond the clank of the tracks and the hum of the turbine shifting and whining behind you. Same is true of most tankers. So we can’t even really make out others’ engine noises without our engines completely turned off.
