Hull Armor of the M1 Abrams

İ just finished playing with my friend and gotta say,Us teams are miserable right now.

He was using Chally’s while i was using Strv122’s and we basically stomped every match except one game.

I just hate the entire situation. Like sure a lot of US mains are way overdramatic in their suffering, but they are also getting the wrong end of the stick like most nations, although less so than others.

The 2A7V and 122s are a big balance problem. It just kills all variety in games, because why play an Abrams, Merkava, Challenger, Leclerc or Ariete when you can play the 2A7V or 122s that are equal or better in pretty much every way.

They are a problem that should have been somewhat dealt with this BR update with either a reload nerf, BR increase or both. But I guess their flavor of the month period isn’t over yet.

The thing is if Gaijin could’ve model those tanks somewhat accurate none of these issues would occured in the first place but as usual they refused to do that cause they “believe blah blah blah” cant be real.

Hell even Strv122 and Leopard2 series are not hundred percent accurate.

Gaijin has the complete wrong stance on this, they are prioritizing historical accuracy over game play balance. Sure you can make the argument that the new player are a big issue, but overall the main issue is there is not enough game play balance. I think on the whole spall liners are a huge mistake at least for MBT. It’s sad seeing USA like this, I forced to play IPM1 and that’s it, any tank above that is miserable to play. You can’t say that the win rate is lack of player skill I played ussr top tier and my win rate is 70%. Gaijin has to do something to remedy this ASAP.

Thats a quite funny and bold claim i must say.

You know what I mean by “historical accuracy” because TBH that doesn’t exist at the top tier, but they want to use that “it’s not accurate to real-life” BS. If something is struggling buff it, who is going to find exact OEM manuals for that.

Fair enough then.

I don’t think the turbine change would do much since you can adjust others engine noises to be louder so they easier to hear. Turret ring would be a nice improvement.

Itd still help exponentially. It should be near silent from the front. Its not just moving a slider. The entire engines sound dispersion is straight wrong.

But also yes, the sound needs to be reduced by like 200% anyways. Its hilarious playing russia and im like “omg, no wonder I kept dying when I played US, I hear these from 1.5kms away” meanwhile russian diesels are like EVs. Its a gimmick.

Me, an AIM owner who actually grinded that thing out. NGL I’m not that good but I feel like I at least help the team more than clickbait users

No definitely, my number on Abram’s tank is the aim I use that thing as well but the problem is that the people that are good with the aim is way smaller than the new players that use it. But right now with br changes i am playing with experience Abram’s players at top tier 12.7 and it’s still miserable. Can’t blame the click bait anymore.

Yep US 12.7 is still unplayable I switched to playing my type10 where at least I can flank without being heard across the map. Honestly at this point I dont think gaijin is going to ever address the issues with the Abrams and the piss poor state of top tier US.

Exactly the opposite unfortunately. Especially when it concerns Russian vehicles.

I’d love to see historically accurate tanks.

Im waiting for the Challenger 2 fixes if they do all the reports that were sent that thing will be a beast

Yeah, that’s what I don’t get, when a Bug report is reported and acknowledged, why does it take weeks or months to get implemented? like the Turret ring, Kevlar liners, and hopefully the engine noise, they have specifications on how to implement it but yet nothing. There are two things Gaijin will move swiftly on, Russian vehicles and dismissing anything that can help nato tanks.

Yeah takes forever but we British mains are used to it

Im waiting for the Challenger 2 fixes if they do all the reports that were sent that thing will be a beast

I am guessing this is in regards to the ERA? afaik the frontal armour won’t change for the better.

It’s just your typical half fix from Gaijin.

Sure not having to deal with 11.3 premiums and squadron vehicles is nice, but they didn’t change how dominant the 2A7V and 122s are compared to everything else.

where’s the M1128 spall liner, they said they’re gonna add it but i can’t see nothing.

Even is they added the spall liner on the M1128 is going to be small pieces that won’t do anything for example the M3A3 Bradly. That thing has it everywhere irl but gaijin thinks it 3 small pieces that covers nothing.
