Why didn’t M1A1 HC get the stock APFSDS like the other M1s.

stock dart is for rank 8 only, the HC is rank 7

11.7 literally fight against T80BVM most of the time, and HEATFS is a really painful road.

Let’s move it to 12.0 and it can receive stock dart.
I know. Gaijin knows. Gaijin cares not

Won’t make any difference since it fight Top Tier Tanks that the HEATFS won’t do anything.
It should go to 12.0 either way.
At least it’ll receive stock dart.

Yeah with the turret ring performs better than the M1A2s and it will get a stock dart.
just play assault or arcade, after that dont play ground rb ever
Me killing 3 BVMs with HEATFS in the same Fire Ark match.
It’s honestly the best Abrams BR-for-BR.
Second imo is M1A1 AIM, M1A1, and then maybe the Sep V1.
I could see the Sep V1 and the HC be the same BR.
Sep V1 gets better thermals, is able to peak corners more easily (If the HC equips the dozer blade), and commander optics…
But HC is 1 metric ton lighter (so HP/Ton is 24.8 instead of 24.4 - which isn’t that big of a difference but is nice to have), gets ~30mm extra armour on the LFP due to the bull dozer (which doesn’t weigh anything funnily enough), soft-kill APS (which isn’t that helpful at top tier but is a plus anyways), and gets 16 smoke grenades instead of just 12 (which means you can fully repair twice in the cover of smoke instead of just once).
They both have the same armour (other than the bull dozer blade), and the same shell.

Only the M1A2’s get a stock APFSDS round, though its pretty dumb the M1A1 HC doesn’t get one, considering M829 could be stock, M829A1 Rank 1, and M829A2 Rank 4.

The M1A2 at 11.7 gets a stock dart.

Alvis, I highly doubt you did that with your stance on top tier. Feel free to share a replay though.

So because I like top tier ground you doubt I did that? lol I guess you doubt ten-thousands of players then.
Even if I did have the replay for that match you wouldn’t be able to run it, I do however have a screenshot of 105mm HEATFS vs T-80Us: Didn’t die a single time in that Assault Arcade match.
As mentioned only t8 gets stock apfsds. Unless its SWE or GBR. Just keep in mind it can always be worse, like the JPN or ISR 11.3 line ups, stock HEAT with a single t3 apfsds mod.

Alvis, I tire of repeating these same old games with you. You made an outrageous claim, I asked for proof, but you didn’t show proof. I can run a replay because Gaijin stores them all on their servers page.
You can see that here.

Fighting Bots with an arcade indicator using HEAT-FS isn’t exactly impressive Alvis. They drive predictably and don’t try to defend themselves.

Neither do T-80BVMs that don’t know you’re there. It’s not an outrageous claim, and you’ve been shown proof of inferior HEATFS.
And no, older update replays aren’t playable on the current client, and server replays are on a rolling purge unless someone reports a player.
Same thing, it received stock dart as it’s rank 8, so it should now move up where it belongs.
