ya no amount of armor is gonna fix the spall on the abrams
I mean worst come to worst they could just end up giving the crew flak vest as they do irl.

lol Wait until you hear that DCS didn’t have good AI until 2023.
And their first full fidelity module for Soviet aircraft is this year. XD
But yeah, there’s no bias in War Thunder.
M1A2 has DU armor in the turret only until allegedly SEP3 BTW, which is represented [not ideally] in War Thunder.
Yeah, M1A2 only has 11mm more effective armor than AIM’s non-DU currently.

AIM has an upgraded turret over the base M1A1

Yes, which is the one at the Swedish trials.
And the DU-equipped tanks in WT do have more effective armor, but not by much as indicated by the screenshots.

im pretty sure outside of DU theres other still unknown and classified materials in the armor too the tank hasnt been decommissioned and idk if anyone has had any success reverse engineering or getting their hands on a official US military abrams to find out
also when it comes to the military the govt does NOT lie about it in fact it will downplay it if possible theres a reason why it took several heli missiles to destroy one in iraq
And therein lies the bias, thinking the upgrade to DU led to an increase in protection of 1% and using an export Abrams without DU to say that DU is bad lol.
This is assuming that the new NGAP contains DU, which we don’t know for sure.
Didn’t the AIM only enter production years after the swedish trials were concluded?
It’s not bias, it’s a misunderstanding. And likely one from translation errors.

AIM uses the non-DU package of M1A1 HC.
wrong, the M1A1HC uses a DU package
That’s what I said…
Otherwise I wouldn’t include the “non-DU” part in the sentence.

maybe you’re not a native English speaker but when you phrase it “the non-DU package of the M1A1 HC” it makes it implies that the M1A1 HC has a non-DU package
a better way to phrase it would have been
“the Australian M1A1 AIM has a similar package to the M1A1 HC, but with the DU plates removed”

No, that statement in English implies that M1A1 HC does have DU internally, and that there’s a non-DU package available as an option, especially for export.
it doesn’t mate, you just chose poor phrasing

M1A1 HC forward has [at least] two armor packages depending on what client wants, one DU and one non-DU.
This is well known…
