I often have the engine eat my dart or the turret be tricky to pen unless I shoot at the explicit spots under the turret to kill it
I just cannot seem to pen it through the turret and the hull all bullets get eaten by the engine thats there somehow. It has decentish spaced armor from what it seem so it also it kinda not vulnerable to missiles i fire from the likes of the begleitpanzer. And worst of all its insides are huge and spread out so even on a side shot you barely cripple these things.
Its why i am surprised people call them weak. They are imo one of the hardest things to fight at 10.7 and borderline immortal below that
Boom! 11.0
10.7 with lowest pen: gets 10mm more of pen, still being the lowest in the BR but at least feeling marginally better in a placebo way
Tank: (seemingly becomes OP)
With the recent changes to the M1’s gears, I had to redo some of my tests and they’re now extremely closely matched.
I mean it really doesn’t matter either way. Gaijin is probably saving the addition of M833 in case some major balance changes happen in the 10.3-10.7 area and it will have to be buffed or moved in someway.
I really doubt the performance will be impacted either way, and the M1 is perfectly fine how it is right now. It’s got a better reload and a worse shell, pretty fair tradeoff.
