I’d say it should go up then as it’s literally perfectly balanced at its current BR and a perfect side grade to the 2A4.
Giving buffs to a tank that doesn’t need it is just silly.

Abrams after losing two crew will still be able to play, meanwhile Leclerc will be in the hangar.

Abrams is far from being the fastest tank, and he is often late and very often his shell cannot penetrate the side of the tank, and if it does, it does not cause damage. Abrams is the only medium tank on its BR that has a completely penetrable front. Try to pierce the forehead of the turret of a Soviet tank on this BR, you will need a projectile with a penetration of 800mm, and to penetrate the turret of an Abrams you will need a projectile with a penetration of 400mm. You are always getting punched.
Sure,there are.But reload rate is not one of them for sure
I have been saved many times from them,but it’s just a gimmick that is very useful only on longe range engagements and near a cap zone
If your panels go off and you are not in that scenario, the enemy has a good chance of finishing you in a single blow,and if that doesn’t happen,you just wasted your last round and another enemy is surely coming
It’s the same thing with the autoloader: if your shot is inside the breech and the enemy is approaching you either get clowned on with a single blow or you defend yourself but would probably fail the very next encounter because you can’t reload.
Having an upgraded protection that can grant your turret to withstand at least some situations is no way identical
I can repeat this until the end,but the Abrams at 10.7 CAN’T WITHSTAND ANY TOP SHELL AT THAT BR IN ITS FACE,while other tanks can and will do
It is not balanced, plenty of people i’ve seen that have better results with the 2A4 compared to the Abrams
Nice anti-US

So, aside from the fact that using quite literally the highest pen round in the game to compare it to being stupid, I have played both the M1 and the KVT (copy paste M1 if you remove the Vismod modification which you totally should) and they are both excellent tanks.
M774 is definitely lacklustre on the penetration front but honestly, not many other rounds at the BR can pen the strong points of most other MBTs that M774 cant, so you’d be aiming at the same weakspots anyway and thus I genuinely havent found many issues with the low penetration.
Could it get M833? Yeah sure maybe. I dont think it needs M900. Id rather it kept M774 and stayed at its current BR than get M900 and be raised.
The only real issue with it is the same issue plaguing all Abrams, the turret ring weakspot being unrealistic. Its all that needs fixing IMO, but as long as you can avoid that the survivability on the tank is honestly pretty good. Ive taken some serious beatings while driving it and survived.

Yes it’s balanced. 2A4/80B/M1 combo stayed at the same BRs for years now with not many changes (if any) happening. No wonder, those vehicles all have their pros/cons and are perfectly viable to play.

It is not a gimmick also it is more useful than you think
And we have basically four tank in the game and 2 out of 4 have one of the longest reload in the game
It can, actually. Even the 3BM42 can non pen the cheek and most of the turret
I have seen a lot and I mean a lot of player , who claim “US le bad, USSR strong” while having shit stats in both or 90% of the vehicle that they play, Meaning this doesn’t have any value cause if we talking stats 99% of the balancing post in here would be irrelevant
While I do agree the buff on Abram in general , fix the armor and stuff. The shell are def not needed, more like everyone need better SPAA. Cause your view on these tanks are mostly just on paper and stats card along with modi card. The bigger view of the game need to be considered when talking about vehicle. Not because it is shit on paper => need buff

It is,it fit the definition of gimmick
Not at combat,medium to close range. Over 1km?maybe
What fix?the only armor fix would be the turret ring,but that only will stop autocannon rounds and will slightly reduce spalling. We’re not talking on full-on blocking tank cannons,so fixing it would only help on that regard. Adding more capable rounds is far more meaningful
But in a sense it is not when most of the tank have it. Even T series have it
That a super false take , if you fighting over 1km the last thing you will be needing is the damn blowout panel. Also why would Arcade main talk about sniping above 1km as if it is the norm, not even RB is that hard core sniping
So just ignore everything else I said then, cherry picking stuff doesn’t help you and your case. If you insist on adding better shell and potentially pushing it up to 11.0 or even higher, be my guest. There nothing more to be discussed. US main when the tank isn’t auto deflecting shell or pen when they snap shot (they cry cope seeth and mald).

Maybe it can get M833 wouldn’t hurt but that all tbh
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.
My friend maybe the reason it looks like that is because you are using Object 292’s 152mm APFSDS.

using the Object 292 as the penetration example is ridiculous… go complain somewhere else. USA top tier is fine, just mushy brain players

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.
I was talking about T-72Bs.
oh mb
It really is, you get better reload, faster and overall just more agile.
With Leo you get slightly better post pen and armour that is mostly negligible but still provides some decent frontal protection.
Ah, a hardcore US main I see. Yeah, it’s really anti US to say that a tank that doesn’t need a buff shouldn’t get one.

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.

Clearly, if their armour at 10.7 can’t stop the best shell in the entire game, it must be awful and it must needs buffs. /s

US mains are always the first to pull the “anti-US” card, but are also always the first to use the nation you play as reasoning against you
