M1A2C Abrams: Heavy Cavalry!

The ERA which was buffed the M829A3 couldn’t pen anyway its meant for kontakt 5 not relikt.

Enough parroting nonsense.

Same as CR2 gets a turret basket but doesn’t have one irl

Except thst it performs the exact same against kontact 5 as A2 did? It has worse angle performance and pen over range?

He isn’t parroting nonsense. People have covered this ad nauseum.

The only difference is it weighs a little bit more so MIGHT result in a more reliable amount of spall upon a successful pen. But also the amount of over pen is a factor in the amount of spall generated, correct me if I am wrong there.

So Idk dude, I like your comments but leave a guy alone. He isn’t actually wrong.

I think the Abrams need a BR change if these armor model changes happen, and I think they should allow for them to choose between A3 or A2 and make A3 mean a little more of a trade off than it does now. Could see a .3 BR increase - though I wish they’d just add 14.0 GBR, and then spread stuff out more for nations.

To the point of ad nauseum.

Yet as far as I’ve seen and others have seen and showed videos on it more reliable goes through kontact 5 than the A2 does / did.

weight makes zero difference to spall you’ve been told that before.
The only thing which nakes a difference is the residual penetration, which A3 last it was looked at had more due to the Anti ERA.

He’s wrong claiming its worse when it’s not, it’s a side grade at worst and marginally better at best.

How do you mean? As it sits right now most abrams are under BRd.

The top tier for grb should move up irregardless, like without even talking about any nations vehicles grb should of been up to about 13.7 now.

Abrams bug report soon out:

Lol when was I told weight doesnt improve spall? Lol k

Also, did you even read what I wrote about the BR?

You quoted it and then said the abrams was under BRd… literally said it would need an increase if the armor changes go through.

And I also said GBR up to 14.0… so what, you skimmed what I wrote and didn’t actually read it before you replied?

Lastly, irregardless is not a real word. Regardless is the word you’re looking for.

Go watch zenturions video on it, the Darts in game aren’t modelled to spall based on weight, only residual penetration left after the initial penetration.

APDS and such are all different.

it needs a BR increase without an armour improvement, the M1A2 has no right being a lower BR than the 2A5-m

I did read it.

you are going to tell the Cambridge educated, English teach what is or isn’t a real word?

Guessing you’re American as in US English it just says it’s regardless, however if you use the Oxford dictionary, you know, the world renowned and authority on English, Irregardless is there, or the Cambridge dictionary.

Adverb :Despite ; not being affected by something.

It’s a synonym with regardless and can be used interchangably.
It’s by no means formal, which I’m not trying to be at all, aka non-standard English, but it certainly is a word mate.

Zenturions videos are pre dev server using modded ammo that he THOUGHT would be representative of A3.

Unless he has uploaded more, his video was literrally made using a mod to insert non existing ammo in game.

And yeah I guess I did try to tell a cambridge educated english teacher blah blah blah. You don’t walk around with your diploma on here so who knew?

Still, irregardless sounds pretentious and improper - but who gives a rip right mate?

On the second video he tested the dev server version

Awesome, thank you for sharing.

Why? Literally 0 benefits to that addition.

Ngl, show us that diploma. Appeal to authority fallacy is gonna cost ya!

Lol, tbh I don’t care.

He could be, or not.

Doesn’t really matter, where I’m from it sounds dumb and the only folks who use it over here are typically under educated.

That said, I think it’s kind of hilarious a super educated dude plays this game and is on the forum too. Just not something I’d expect and definitely not the plot twist I had on my 2026 bingo sheet for today.

The way I’ve seen people with all kinds of degrees struggle with simple concepts, citation, math problems, common sense instances, general knowledge, etc… That alone doesn’t say anything. We don’t know how he got there, what he did there, how he did there, was it subsidized? Were their bribes? How does this knowledge apply to tanks or video game balancing at all? What does he know about the Abrams or any tank based off of a Cambridge education? What did they teach him about specific composites involved?

My issue is it’s a vague appeal to authority with little to justify the ego. Or its insertion into the conversation. He does this a lot. So I do want him to post that here since he’s talking! But either way it proves ultimately nothing. There are nurses and doctors that don’t even know how hearts work so again it’s amazing he thinks it means whatever he thinks it means.

Irregardless is a real word, just non-standard. Pretty sure its just one of those North American phrases that was used commonly enough to be accepted into the Oxford Dictionary (as that’s how language works).

You bring up a valid point. Story time.

I recal being in a class room at college where they were trying to run a projector; however there was a lighting issue.

See, there were two switches. One for a row of lights that are in the front of the class room and over the projector screen; and a switch for the rest of the lights.

You want some lighting so you can catch kids sleeping, but not so much that it washes out the screen. Plus, the single row lights the door in.

Problems was, both lighting solutions washed out the screen. (The single row is over it, and the other option was like 20 lights)

Ruined everyones day when I pointed out that they set the class room up backwards. The door into the room, and the single light row, was actually meant to be at the back of the class… but they screwed it up when they set the room up. None of the teachers ever connected those dots.

Long story short, my life is full of moments like that and wondering why the “smart people” ain’t so smart.

Story time over.

i’m talking about the damn video from years ago on how darts spalling is calculated again as to why weight doesn’t matter to spalling.

he does a video which im sure @MotorolaCRO tagged to you about it, which shows him setting the weight to like 700kg and it makes no difference

here
save you the hassle.

Then why bloody do it xD

Would you prefer me to speak with a formal register at all times?
Or shall you just learn that the words a real word, that it’s not a formally used word and move on?
