Duh?i was talking about having good frontal turret armour for long-range engagements, something the Abrams at 10.7 doesn’t have ,compared to the alternatives.
AB gets the same maps as RB,meaning same tactics can be used. Sniping is something that is pretty common in AB despite being harder to do compared to RB or SB
I’m not asking that since you can’t magically buff the armor on the Abrams,i’m asking to have proper, historical ammo to have at least the same amount of pen of its counterparts,instead of having worse ammo.
Average mobility, average gun handling, average gun depression, average thermals. A good reload, which alot of tanks have and even faster, doens’t make up for having a gyat, no armor, and below average cannon.
Bro, why would you try to use the OBJECT 292 shell for an example? That thing goes through everything’s armor lmfao. Literally the highest pen shell in the game.
I think M1 should remain at 10.7, except it should have M833 instead of M774 as top round (M774 should replace M735 as first apfsds).
Contrary to what many people claim, I doubt the extra 21mm of pen would make it “OP”; as much of an improvement it would be to M774, it would still be the worse round at that BR, just not by such a large margin- but the rate of fire still makes up for it, hence why it would not need M900, which would be way too much at this BR.
Besides, M1 needs the bug fixes common to all Abrams family MBTs: turret ring (would be around 300mm LOS), fuel tank bulkhead thickness (19 > 25) and geometries (missing top, side and front plates), possibly integral spall liners (still studying about it, many tankers and bug reports claim it to have these), etc.
How about no. The M1’s armor is it’s speed. It is incredibly fast. You can just zoom around and smack people’s weak spots. Even when I first played the M1, I considered it pretty good. It doesn’t need to go down.
im gonna need to see some proof on that 50 percent more shrapnel.
So when it goes to the M1 these are minor differences?
The 2A4s frontal armour isn’t really going to save it from a lot of rounds, a pen is a pen after all. I’d also say that the M1 can be quite trolley when it is penned, I’ve seen many drive away after taking a hit.
The tank doesn’t need a buff, and while I do agree that giving it the M833 isn’t the end of the world, it honestly doesn’t need it. Just like how the 2A4 doesn’t need a slight reload buff(say .02) the M1 is extremely balanced.
If the M774 gets nerfed, then yes, give it a new round but until then…it’s fine.
