Era eats rounds all the time. It’s not consistent and is RNG based, but I have without a doubt seen plenty of rounds be eaten entirely by ERA on a side shot.
Completely. I remember someone arguing with me saying aim at the breech it’s the most consistent OHK/D and I was baffled. Breech shots just get soaked up, whereas you lose crew and more with that shot on most other tanks pretty consistently.
That’s demonstrably untrue. If you like I can even go pull some games showing you that a pen and ammo hit does nearly always mean ammo detonation.
In fact seeing as it happened within the last few days. I MAY be able to go pull the game with 6 shots to the ammo carousel that had black ammo and no detonation. The hit replay won’t show this, just continued shots on the ammo.
But even if you remove an egregious example like this, because it was more of a 1 off. The spall liner of the t90m has a very good chance of eating the ability to detonate the ammo or hurt modules. Especially now that the autoloader acts like defecto armor for the carousel, even though it should not and is essentially paper thin metal that shouldn’t act this way.
The t90m is nowhere like a 2a7 or Strv, but the point was this statement was objectively false. And I factually can prove it, I’d just need to find the time to go back through my games and find it as just one of many examples of this.

I think it’s individual to region. Recently about half my games with Japan are US teams or not. Which while it sucks, isn’t the worst problem. The problem is when the other team is made up of RU/Ger/Swe and for me is becoming a larger and larger occurrence as of late.
I think it’s more of just a regional availability thing. I’m living in Thailand for a while now and it’s just happening a lot more here, in the US I don’t remember it happening as much.
It’s just a shit luck of the cards. It’ll affect some more than others.

Id like to see the relevant fixes add them.to the nations that should have them.
Like the Chinese mbts as it sits right now gaijin was presented with real and valid sources and just , no.

Yeah the plinking effect, breach, commander, gunner, then loader or driver.
The breach can just eat rounds though and it is frustrating, had a 2a4 earlier, well a christian II, soak a dct10 round to the breach, just went yellow, thats chinas top round and it couldn’t get through a 10.7 mbt breach effectively

I think its sporadic and dependant , that could he one explanation for it.
Like im in europe right now, but decided to play the NA servers as the pings essentially the same.
When i play as china paired with germany quite.often and actually had to face.off against RU, US and Ita or isreal.
Which at 11.0.is incredibly weird because the russian anf american teams literally go one of two ways they wither evaporate or absolutely kick your teeth in.
Hell had ,germany, sweden, china and italy all on one team againt US,RU,JAP, and i think ome britain.player and they absolutely mopped us.up
But the difference is, it takes maybe 12 mins roughly give it 20 max for us to lose (me using china)
But when we.win its over in 5 /7 mins…
I fervently believe the game needs some form of punishment like halo 3 and reach did where.if you consistently bailed on games it gives you a ban, 30 mins to stsrt with the works its way up consistently if you repeatedly left matches.
There is plenty of insentive now to stay in games, what there isnt is a sufficient enough punishment for leaving them extemely early. Also people fail to realise when buying a prem you dont have to use only that tank, or use it from when you get it.
I first got the xm1 in a pack with the ah64 (now years ago) and i didnt use it for the longest time due to a friend telling me its a waste of time due to the odl effect. However back then you had maybe 2 or 3 a team, now adays its more than half a team will ODL and they arent even prems half the time.
It.is sad
(My pet hate over ODLs is the people who leave when they see it isnt a full downtier)
Remember when gaijin put that suggestion thing to us all this year but a while ago.
Edit sorry i wrote a lot as well

Given that all 3 122s are 2A7 analouges and however they all have an extra 7km/h of forward (the 68km/h standard for leopard 2s whereas 2a7s have 61km/h forwards gear) besides they have the better transmission generally and perform better because of it.
Sweden has equally capable CAS as germany while possessing 4 MBTs, 3 of which being superior to germany’s best with the 4th (suomen 2a6) being equal to germany’s swcond best MBT.
Sweden also possesss the best light tank/sniper in tbe game and the 2nd best AA, both of which are superior to Germany’s options at top tier

It should never be a thing in game as so many vehicles would suddenly have crazy stats
like what?
- How do you regulate an accurate value?
- If things could do X thing without breaking down, I guess panthers should be able to do -15 mph reverse.
- It’s not a production vehicle thing / a real modification.
- Your engine would end up getting so loud you’d probably be heard 2 miles away on the battlefield.
In short, it’s a bad idea, as there’s hundreds of tanks, and planes in game that suddenly would need a rework. Let’s not forget helis. Should we give the Mi-24 or KA-50 their racing variant stats? No.
but production M1, in service with US army, hit 70mph on roads?
That I cannot say.
It eats them or doesn’t. Or maybe the Turm III has magical powers? Not sure. But the Turm seemingly ignores ERA
maybe km
no, MPH, if it was km do you think tankers would be talking about how crazy it was? there are tankers who remember passing highway traffic (no jam)
if it rolled down a hill or something. otherwise i cannot imagine an abrams going 80+ kmph
edit: if you want to amaze me, link a video
this is original M1 from 1979/early 80’s, much lighter with same engine
edit: unfortunately could not find any videos, but there are multiple crew accounts of this happening, and apparently it also was acheived at the proving grounds
back on topic of the abrams.
It is 100 percent the US teams, even with sweden and germany on their side, still manage to lose. How is that even possible.

I’d like to see US on both teams so everyone gets dragged down by numerous Click-Bait spammers.
