Best Abrams rn is M1A1. Combination of characteristics like mobility, shell, turret armor, reloading speed and br (almost always 150-130 SP) are awesome. After type90 nerf it could be actually the best 11.3 tank. Change my mind.
And ?
Saying that M1s don’t have armor is incredibly silly.
Yes they do as that pretty much confirms M1s can function without any more buffs. It was a player issue all along, which isn’t surprising.
They could fix the issues when we get more BRs, until then nah.
Buffing already strong tanks is a wild fantasy that makes absolutely no sense.
I’m not whining about anything, just taking a jab at all the people that claimed M1s having <40% WRs is the proof of those tanks being utterly awful and in need of immediate attention. You can cope however you want, but it’s pretty much a fact that the biggest drama queens around here are US players.
Your M1 buffs wouldn’t really help against AGMs, so you’d buff perfectly fine vehicles and make them extremely strong for no reason, instead of just giving US and other nations AAs that can counter problematic AGMs.
Good thing you aren’t in charge of balance, as you seemingly have little to no knowledge of what’s actually happening in the game.
Yeah, I unironically bought the entire 10.3 Russian lineup when I was level 45. I regret that.
Where did I ever say that? I said it’s missing armor in places it has in real life.
Your whole presence in this thread is whiney in nature
Buff =/ fix. The Abrams is modeled wrong, I’m not asking for it to be buffed, I’m advocating for a fix. Even with the fix, the Abrams is still easily killable by other MBTs in the SAME EXACT PLACES. There is absolutely no reason why autocannons should be able to completely disable the Abrams when attacking it frontally.
You said that M1s’ armor doesn’t work, which is pretty much admitting it has no armor.
Look at my first post here, where I mentioned that no wonder HC is the best Abrams at the moment as it’s undertiered, same with Click Bait.
You came in storming in explaining how M1 is shit due to muh bugs.
You can’t help yourself but seethe about your perfectly competitive tank, shame.
You then have no idea what buff actually means.
Any action that increases the performance of a tank is considered to be a buff, doesn’t matter if it came from a fix or not.
That said, M1s are more than fine at their respective BRs and giving them any more handouts would likely increase their BRs and for some cases we don’t have available BRs to do so.
Oh no, 1 in 100 deaths were caused by autocannons killing you from the front, guess that’s why WR was below 40%, am I right ?
Laser focused on nothing burgers, it’s actually amazing.
you tell me
literally every time abrams is mentioned there are a 100 us mains whining about how their tank is actually somehow the worst one
Muh turret ring that actually is a nothing burger problem is making our tanks have <40% WRs.
Turret ring, hydraulic pump location, turret basket, lacking hull armor and spall liners.
Those are the reasons why Abrams is so easy to kill.
1 shot at the turret ring = death or half of the tank is gone
Still top 3 MBT in the game.
Lol no, even Type-10 and Leclerc is better than Abrams.
Abrams is Top 5 at best.
I might understand Type 10 but Leclerc is just a neutered M1.
Leclerc is better due to having constant 5 second reload and LWS, nothing more.
Leclercs have plethora of cons when compared to M1s. What’s LWS good for at 12.0 either ?
If you say this then we don’t need to discuss further.
I did not say this. Quote me where I did.
I also did not say this. You are REALLY grasping for straws with your argument. Not once did I say the Abrams is bad. I also did not mention the M1.
Last time I checked, Buff is making something better than it should be. A fix is making it perform like it should perform.
Laser focused on fixes, not appeasing your leave the Abrams alone mental games.
Did I mention win rates? What are you even going on about?
I never said it was the worst, far from it but it’s not correctly modeled. Are you saying SOME tanks can be modeled and perform correctly but the Abrams shouldn’t be allowed to?
You anti-Abrams guys are just funny. You attack US players for pointing out and proving there are actually bugs when it concerns the Abrams with poor and weak arguments about it already performing well. I don’t give a flying f about your opinions. I’m not asking for “buffs”. I’m asking for fixes. Two different things but you are all focused on win rates. Let me tell you something, the only form of “balance” Gaijin does is mess with reload speed. So cry harder when the Abrams actually gets fixed.
This Oh no, the Abrams is actually better IRL than in game mentality is really funny to me.
To be fair, USA players focused on this as demonstration that the Abrams is broken for years now. Can’t have it both ways. I want all tanks modeled correctly, including Abrams, but it should be low priority compared to those that seriously need it (ZTZ-99A and the rest of the Chinese top-tier MBTs, for example).
Low priority? Why? US is the most played nation in the game. The bugs affect over 7 different models of Abrams. Hardly a low priority
Thank you for showing why USA should be low priority.
Thank you for showing your hatred for US
