I propose lowering the combat rating of the Abrams

the abrams reload rate is 3- 5 seconds IRL you aren’t going to pass as a loader without meeting requirements, its the same thing for the leopard and the challenger.

anything sub-5 is either competition loading or lap loading in NATO MBTs, a typical loader cannot sustain a reload rate of sub-5 seconds for more than 5-10 rounds without fatigue

The only issue it had was jittering of the GPS when moving at decent speed.

You use the best round in the game bro
Obviously abrams under a few specific condition is way worse than its counterpart but regardless still a good tank
Its fine at 10.3 but for it to be as good or having a better chance to survive in top tier it need armor changes(e.g turret ring,ufp,spall liners, whatever…) and gajin actually decide to not be “heavily” bias and make changes for it to actually be decent or atleast have a better chance to survive against its counterpart
Edit: rep to @Demokrat4

Passing time is 7 secs, and let’s be honest, people are friends and a 7.19 sec load is magically a “6.19” sec load time.

A lap load can be done in roughly 3.5 secs. An average reload (so say an expert crew) loads at a rate of 6.25 secs per round, while an ace crew should be at best 5.95 secs.

@sartt

Right there.

That isn’t how it works. It’s not a PT test. Stop talking about things you don’t understand. Do you think people just hand out marksmen when you don’t qualify in the infantry? You’d be getting remediated until you got it right. It’s not a desk jockey taking a PT test.

Stop making up stuff in your head to justify your stance.

You mean the LAV-AD? The vehicle with 12-16 missiles, a rotary cannon with good pen, stabilizer, great mobility, thermals, and a literal hydra rocket pod?

Lmao I’ve seen all this first hand. As the recruitment needs need to be met. If they’re very close but not exact, they’ll get passed unless it’s someone nobody likes

So you’re a US tanker and have watched quals first hand get pencil whipped.

From that to rifle qual, pt, etc. it happens.
Denying it doesn’t,
simply is being biased.

No no no, I asked you a specific question. Are you a tanker and evaluated and saw this happen? You said you had first hand knowledge.

do you know what incapable means now?

M1A2 Abrams Loader 3 seconds 3 seconds no lap loading. and yes i know the door is opened : )

Yes

Lol i know an actual vet from desert storm and he him self even knows the reload time is 3 / 4 seconds.

I think it’s a bad video because there’s no reference point, no start, he’s just already into the load. It’s better to have a “start” and see where it ends up from there. That video is not great IMO.

This video is much better. Seeing as not optimal conditions, like first column round, and waiting for the door to fully open. You could save near a half second off. Every time I’ve clocked this, it comes in right around 5.3 seconds, but I could be recording wrong.

That is not a combat load how idiotic do you think I am? This video has been proven to be not a real situation.
It’s:
-stationary

  • no body armor / NBC gear
  • his hand is already pulling the shell out
  • the blast door is already open.

But thank for again showing in absolute ideal conditions it still takes 3.85 seconds

yeah i saw this video i had a abrams loader video that did it in 4.6 seconds but for some reason they removed it from youtube. i cant find the leopard reload video either and that was under 5 seconds i have the challenger one https://youtu.be/e6hh-CoPKqU?t=77

my guy its 5:00 AM in the morning and i’ve been up all night and im not trying to even type.

except i do, he was even at the Highway of death, as a tank commander, and he himself said the Iraqis were not retreating, but were getting ready to counter attack. I truly don’t give a damn if you don’t believe me.
