M1A2C Abrams: Heavy Cavalry!

I would like to but TKX has some heavy flaws that gimp it. Mainly gun angles, gun handling, and transmission.
That and the turret armor. Though 2E doesn’t have good turret armor, its far better than TKX.

Even with the hydropneumatic suspension?

Yes, because you have to stop and use it. And when you do your ammo is exposed.


For example here. Just having the -10 instead of needing to adjust is just way better. If my suspension was adjusted here he wouldve shot my ammo.

Very good point about the ammo tbh

Though plenty of maps where you can benefit from slightly longer hill climbs with the same gradient as the one in the vid, where your ammo won’t be exposed whilst you’re setting up. It’s why I think the potential is very high: the suspension unlocks much more verticality

El Alamein, Ardennes, Fulda, maaaybe Quarry, absolutely Maginot Line, maybe Sinai, on less than half of Tunisia, here and there on 38th Parallel, some of Aral Sea

I think those are the only ones with enough spots for the TKX to have viable use of its suspension (same with the Type 90 tanks)

Also on the vid in the map, the west side has much more playability for the TKX due to steeper hills

Thats not really fixed, youre aiming ag the wrong spot entirely

Will the lower front plate contain DU and will it also receive its APS?

After the F-14D letdown, this Abrams is the only thing that gets me excited for this update, as long as the turret ring is fixed as yall said…

finally

let down? its a hyped F14 and its the easiest way to make money. people will buy it straight away and then big stonks

This is probably the most concealed end game Abrams, no trash on top of the turret

So M829A3 is going to be useless I guess

I mean I’d love to know how Gaijin has squared the circle that Relict doesn’t use the same mechanism as K-5.

Thanks for the data. It’ll be a fight between steel tipped M829A3 and Relikt depending on how they implement the round. The dev server needed for more information. I’m excited top tier main battle tanks are getting attention from the developers. This APFSDS has been a long time coming.

there is a new multiplier for the ERAs protection against long rod ammunition.

Gaijin: oh here’s all the abrams and M829A3 that you wanted.

USA players: we want more. We need to be able to survive an asteroid hitting our tanks.

M829a3 was developed before Relict and Malachite was produced…

So there isn’t a logical reason why m829a3 would be good against either.

It was developed to counter Kontact 1 or 5 reasonably
