Honestly the only reason the Abrams is bad, is because any hit on the UFP bounces the round strait into the turret ring, which is your biggest weakspot on that tank. It basically means that the strongest part of the tank is its biggest weakspot.
Now, I have zero evidence to back this up, so grain of salt required, but what I have been told is that its not realistic at all, and is a problem with how gaijin models the shell trajectory on that tank. In real life apparently the shell deforms too much from hitting the UFP, loses all its penetrating power, and would never make it through the turret ring.
I’m not sure how true it is, but I feel like that weakness as it is displayed in War Thunder is far too obvious for it to have been overlooked in real life for the entire ~40 years the Abrams Platform has been in service.
What games? Like genuinely I don’t think there is a competitor to War Thunder - or at least the ‘main’ gamemodes, since technically ground and air sim have some type of competitors in terms of Gunner HEAT PC and DCS respectively.
Have you tried not holding W through open fields, the abrams is the 4th best MBT in game if you cant make it work then you should go play the XM-1 or kpz-70 and learn how to play them
Facing tanks head-on has never been the meta. There’s not really a main meta, everything depends on the vehicle you have and what its good at. You have to play depending the vehicles characteristics. The meta isn’t playstyles but what vehicle people use and that determines the players playstyle.
There is a meta to this game, and every game. With the snail stating the Abrams series of tanks are not preforming well says its not fitting the meta. Of all the 10.3 MBTs, it has the lowest penning gun, and largest number of weak-points. Its speed isn’t all that impressive compared to the Leos, or the numerous light tanks it faces.
Also maybe try more than just the Wolfpack on how to play US top tier. I’m not telling top tier Italians how to play, as I’ve never played it.
When I look at the T-62M1 which is currently a 9.0, then I look at the 3BM28 compare to M774 and it looks pretty clear that which one is more powerful?
The reason is because most US players don’t know how to play anything different. You can’t play the same way with every BR, vehicle or country. If its not preforming well then maybe find a work around and play another way. Cause the “meta” that its being played is not actually the “meta” for that vehicle.
Excuse me?
First off, I don’t just play the wolfpack cause I do play the AIM which I have no issues using.
Second you’re acting as if USA is harder to play. Italy is the hardest country to grind out compared to all the other countries in top tier cause every vehicle doesn’t fit the “meta”.
Third. Just cause you looked at my player card doesn’t mean saying that I know nothing about US top tier is true.
The Abrams is as accurate as it needs to be. The yanks can cry and all that, but really the only reason it underperforms is user error. A lot of the arguments the yanks use to say it is inaccurate is pretty much known to be false, but Gaijin will always cave to the Americans with the least proof necessary of any nation, on par with Russian complaints. Only bit that is inconsistent with reality, to all available information, is the mantlet. But that goes for basically every nation. America has arguably the easiest shit to play at toptier (Ignoring the competency of your American team mates), second only to Russia, but even then still pretty close.
Gaijin caters to the yanks and the Ruskis. I wish minor nations got given the benefit of the doubt like those 2 get.
You mean the 4 tanks it was tested in? After which it never saw actual use due to weight concerns just like the vast majority of armour upgrades considered for Abrams.
