Good evening everyone, I have a question, how come the M1A1 11.3, despite having 38/800/101 mm armor, can easily be penetrated by an APFSDS with 450/550 mm penetration? This is not the case with the same M1 series (for example click bait) that not even the DM53 can penetrate the turret.

Clickbait, AIM, and M1A2 series have depleted uranium in turret cheeks which are more denser therefore giving more protection

thank you so much :)
the armor scheme significantly changed, it is much thicker on the M1A1 than on the M1
but gaijin gave the composite on the M1A1 a stupidly low multiplier

Still the best 11.3 by far.

yes now that type 90 moved up
but still annoying that it has a significantly worse composite multiplier than the base M1
Eh M1A1 mogged Type 90 anyway
I don’t really see it ever getting a better composite multiplier unless the 11.7 Abrams’ goes up to 12.0 and the M1A1 moves up with the IPM1.

ehh
more damage vs better reload
but why id argue for Type 90 is because the fuel tank eating rounds giving it really trolley survivability
idk, I can see it getting slightly better armor at the same br but not too much of an upgrade
M1A1 is just nicer to play IMO
Has better gun handling, better shell, utility shells, better optics so you aren’t stuck with 9x base, etc
Type 90 damage model is ridiculous yeah, but M829A1 made short work of it.
I get that, but still find it such a pain to kill a type 90 compared to everything else and the really good reload helps it
It’s an accurate multiplier. That 800 includes the air in-between the plates.
Type 90 was inferior to M1A1. More armor, marginally slower reload, hilariously superior round.
