Hull Armor of the M1 Abrams

You forgot labeled “Not A Bug” 😂

Nooo that wont happen as then ZS38 would not be able to farm Abrams from front…

This game is just ridiculus , giving tanks like challanger 90mm of protection on LFP or Abrams 75mm on turret ring…

This is jsut for russian BMP`s and ZS38 to kill those frontally , which is not possible in real life.

So the added weight of the SEP improvements weren’t for the armor because “there were no surface area changes” or something? Seems odd considering they could’ve just fit better armor into the space the old armor was in without changing the “size” of the front plate. If the excuse is that the Abrams front plate never changed size, and that’s how you know there was no extra armor ever, that seems pretty weak tbh.

Giving the Abrams volumetric hull casting and volumetric turret race should fix that problem, but nah let’s ignore it for years…

Hopefully they add the spall liner. My source is pretty solid on the bug report.

how come only russia get’s prototype features, in example:

  • thermals they can’t produce anymore,
  • 3 tanks mixed in one tank: BVM
  • vehicle that isn’t in service yet 2S38

while abrams has 5 confirmed prototypes with DU armor, that’s a no-no suddenly?

Honestly like if they’d come up with an actual good reason for not having it I wouldn’t care. Yes it needs better armor but with a good excuse it’d be fine. This is not a good excuse though, this just seems like laziness

Gaijin ground devs continue to go out of their way to nerf the US ground tree. Its been an issue since the tree was added. From nerfing APCB performance, to refusing to give US tanks service ammunition, to giving the tree worse variants of vehicles than foreign trees also operated.

All Gaijin is achieving is to drive away bug reporters and long time players. The idea that the US would not up-armor the hull of its main battle tank after 40 years of service is beyond absurd.

What?

Again, what?

cough HSTV-L, M1128 (x2), XM1060 (best ADS in game), 4 variants of the XM8/AGS prototypes, a Turkish M60 (a bastardization of the SLEP), the Israel Dor-Dalet (Israel doesn’t even get this variant), the OH-58D (I can only find a very select few units fielding these 100M USD relics), a prototype AH-64 (who doesn’t need 4?), and… The MBT-70, which seemingly has 2 existing unfinished prototypes.

Do you have any of those prototype variants in-game? No? Thought so.

I belive hes talking about the imported thermals used by russia before the 2022 war.

No idea if it got posted before.

Russia has completely replaced foreign matrices with production of its own.

That’s true, actually. I am surprised when people write nonsense here without reading any literature on T series tanks

Yes but the imported thermals were superior to local prodcution, so in a way him claiming that they cant produce the thermals they used to use is correct.
