You are comparing the best conventional kinetic penetrator in the game (that only one currently hard to obtain tank is equipped with) to the Abrams. If you were being fair you would use that same shell against soviet vehicles or even more fair just use 3bm42 as that is the Soviet standard at 10.0, not the object 292’s apfsds.
There’s no fucking way. Firstly you use the Object 292 against a Abrams to justify your argument, then you use the M1 Abrams against a T-72B (1989) to reinforce the “armor inbalance” in the game. At this point I’m sure most US mains are smooth brained.
Thanks to CTCrusader pointing that you’re not going to face much Object 292, you should be using commons units like T-72B, T-72AV (Turms-T) and T-80B with 3BM42 and M1 Abrams on this comparion
It’s buried in another M1 thread with hundreds of posts. I think it was done by @Casino_Knight.
2A4 and M1 were placed at a serious distance (1km+) and both tanks shot each other. Turns out that M1 can take DM23 just as good as 2A4 can take M774.
Gun mantlet.
I wasn’t injured, it killed all three crew in the turret with a single shot.
And what gets you to believe M1 deserves this buff ?
What’s so crazy bad about M774 that you cannot work around ?
I’m sticking to the subject. You said M774 is the worst MBT round at that tier and M833 would be too, so what’s the reason in not adding it ? Same can be said for T-tanks’ gun handling.
Randomly buffing tanks just because they are the worst in something at their BR is not a good idea.
My experience in playing the 10.7 MBTs… in addition to the M1 suffering more from the decompression than other vehicles did as it was moved away from the lighter armored MBTs into the heavily armored MBT part of the game pretty hard.
A good player could work around having to use the BT-7’s gun… this does not mean anything.
If this is all you’re getting from my words then you’re not understanding what I’m saying at all and I don’t think I have the patience to walk you through it
M1’s armor is far from being bad, at least in comparison to 2A4’s which is M1’s closest contemporary in terms of abilities. Giving M900 to M1 would be a huge step up over 2A4 which is already one of the best 10.7s. There’s literally no reason to do so.
I never really thought that lacking ~40mm of pen compared to DM23 is something that detrimental, especially since the reload speed is faster. You basically trade a bit of penetration for reload, which looks fine to me.
Ah yes, good old full uptier suffer argument. KPz-70 also has a pretty bad round and it sees 10.3 spam regularly, I think better round is needed and let’s just forget about all the pros it has over it’s contemporaries.
Either all 10.7s receive a slight buff, or none.
Yeah let’s pretend M774 is closer in performance to BT-7’s gun than to DM23.
Even if you had DM23 equivalent round, you’ll still aim at the same exact weakspots as you would with M774, so I have a really hard time understanding your woes.
Yeah it totally needs better shell to compensate for it’s amazing reload speed, mobility and gun handling.
Looking how you’re laser focused on a single metric makes me believe that you’re the one that lacks comprehension on how pros/cons system works and how ground vehicles are balanced, otherwise you wouldn’t make such egregious claims.
