I propose lowering the combat rating of the Abrams

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.

So 5.3 in mostly ideal conditions.
And this loader looks experienced.
In Warthunder:
Abrams tanks:
whipping about doing 40+ mph
cheese burger body armor on
Abrams is whipping around a corner

Oh sheesh your loader went flying across the tank. Now it’s a 14.0 sec load time.

He also broke a limb. So add another 8 secs

this is why we look down on all of you, you type stupid garbage. It would be like us calling you all ash cosmonauts, based on how a t series tank explodes.

that has literally no effect in a tank. lol

Oh I’m saving this quote lol.

And that was a jab that it’s well known usa crew members seem to live some crazy things in WT.

I do find it funny that you think I’m some Russian spy or something lol. Go tell your friend in the CIA that, or the FBI? Since apparently you know someone from every branch of everything.

Good.

Vehicles should be modelled correctly and balanced through BRs; not artificially manipulated and altered so that they fit BRs where they may not necessarily belong to.

But, in order to go higher in BR, Stingers would not only need to have their G overload fixed, but also be able to lock on helicopters beyond 2km.

They do lock beyond 2km. I keep getting hit in my Mi-24, Mi-35m, Alouette, etc all past 2 miles.

Which is hilarious especially when I have heat shields, and irccm on those hinds, then you know, flares don’t do anything to them.

It is undeniable that MANPADS lock-on is extremely unreliable past 1.5/2km. Yes it happens, but it’s far from the norm.

In my opinion there’s nothing wrong with Stingers in their current state being at BRs they’re at.
Balancing through BRs is good in theory, but we all know we simply don’t have enough BR steps to do that effectively, so this is the next best thing.

From my experience playing Stinkers I’ve managed to lock helicopters from 2.8 to 3.2km, so they definitely can engage targets beyond 2km range. Some bug reports state they should get optical tracking as well, which would extend that range even further in some cases.

At this point, you’d have LAV-AD going to 10.7 at the minimum, where it’d face helicopters that have ATGMs with 5km+ range and aircraft with Laser guided ammo. I’d say that it would be a more efficient vehicle at 10.0 though.

Seems to be the norm when I’m fully operational (ircm) and far away.

So annoying in fact I’ve pretty much stopped flying my favorite vehicles (helis)

You mean like an aced or expert crew in game lol? He could still even shave more time off. Yea in ideal conditions, but not optimal load time.
