M1A2C Abrams: Heavy Cavalry!

Why doesn’t the M1A2C get the trophy APS or improved hull armor?

Stand by my statement, gaijin lost out on more money because they refuse to add accurate weapon systems and people wont by it because its most likely DOA. But we might as well wait until dev server to see.

Im going back on topic before mods get mad lol

If the SEPv1 or even base SEPv2 also receive M829A3 they will remain the best US MBTs and will be better than the SEPv3 in game lmao.

The SEPv3 in it’s current state is such a weird and borderline pointless addition.

Soooo what happened to the added turrer sensor packages that we see in a lot of the sepv3 images? We aint getting those sweet looking kits?

ALSO how is the M829a3 almost worse than the M829a2?

It has worse angled pen characteristics and pens slightly less at long range.

It has a marginal increase of 4mm more pen at 10m.

What the actual gaijin is this hahaha

This confuses me. The hull armour is visually changed, you can literally see it in the model, surely it’s buffed?

I cant stop laughing. What in the actual gaslighting is this gaijin.

You hype the new round which is actually worse than the M829a2 - unless you’re subtly telling us you’re gonna nerf the round.

No added breach armor, no added hull armor, no added APS/turret side armor package. Nada. Tell me y’all banking on WW3 taking the US player base out with out telling me that you’re banking on WW3 invalidating our opinion.

Whewy this is an absolute hoot. Y’all must have some nice beverages to be talking about this with a straight face.

If M829A3 was modeled correctly how much PEN would it do or is it’s value ?

It should pen between 700-800 mmof RHA equivalent out to 2km.

Instead it pens less at 2km than the m829a2 and has worse angled performance as well.

what a bait

Mate you are in idiot if you think current NATO doctrine would allow Russian ERA to be immune to their best rounds.

US doctrine is to engage and destroy/disable from 3 - 4 km away. IF Relikt is that good we would see panic and the acceleration to the 130mm and 140mm platforms.

Please also remember the US have had Relikt armour to test on and numerous test data from the field.

THE DEV SERVER IS NOW OPEN !!! Come join UP

You do get that projects might take time to get into production just because it entered production in 2006 doesn’t mean that the Specifications weren’t written earlier and so set the desired level of protection.

I shouldn’t have to point out that Malachite is a hold over from the Obj 195 either, do i?

Relict was developed in response to -A2 why would the technique apply to -A3? it uses a novel Bypass mechanic that was not otherwise present.

The problem with K-5 was that it reduced the Overmatch range of -A2 to such a point that Big Army was uncomfortable.

Gaijin, what is the status of fixing the outstanding accepted turret ring bug report on the Abrams?

What about the fuel cell bulkheads, incorrect gun rotor, gun manlet, and incorrect side skirts? Are you fixing any of these problems prior to adding a new top tier vehicle for the USA?

The Abramses are supposed to have volumetric armor on the turret ring to help with the issues there but apparently on the dev server they don’t… all have it yet?

Which is. confusing I genuinely just assumed that all the armor in the game was volumetric I didn’t think it was a per-vehicle thing, but I guess they would have to do it manually

This is a good point. Militaries are at all times doing intell gathering, and have massive threat fussion centers deticated to projecting enemy capabilities and likely technology progression.

They’ve been using AI for over 50 years to facilitate this. So assuming that they didn’t forward plan their dart penetrator capabilities is a civvie mistake.

Militiaries are light years ahead of whatever the average arm chair gamer is going to think.

The incorrect turret ring problem will continue to allow this new top tier vehicle to be one tapped by a BMPT 30mm cannon in it’s frontal armor….

And why doesn’t M1A2C get the Trophy system?

Yes I made that bug report. Very frustrating I worked so hard on it for them to ignore it.
