Not like I like them but thats the whole reason why I keep visible content in game to historical and semi-historical. Its literally that simple
Hm, I wanted the special Falcon so bad.
It’s not a single vehicle. It’s ALL of them.
SEPv3’s case is only the last straw that broke the camel’s back because it’s a tank that had been anticipated for YEARS under the premise that it would bring ONE improvement… and when it’s finally coming (way long overdue), it’s coming without the ONE improvement everyone had been forward to for years.
But no, it’s not “a single vehicle”:
Gaijin’s bug reporting policy is actively harming pretty much EVERY single underperforming MBT in the game in the same way it’s harming SEPv3.
Merkava Mk.4? Challenger 2? Leclerc? You name it; ANYTHING short of classified material is insufficient, while said classified material is legally unacceptable.
Under these absurd requirements, Gaijin simply does whatever they want, disregarding reality and the very own parameter criteria policies they established in 2021; whether it’s SEPv3, Merkava Mk.4, or any other modern day MBT.
This is not just about SEPv3. It’s about Gaijin pretending that we can just somehow provide official values of classified vehicles without using classified sources.

Hey can the harm be shot with out a lock like maddog or somthing, just shoot over a mountain before the map pops up and shoot, and what ever is in the harms site after the lauch it locks on to a band that it can see enemy or friendly, or do we need a lock and line of sight to shoot a harm

Well Skittie was pretty specific about the SEPv3 in the later comments.
Also incredible strategy by them. Alienating other people that might help/support the Abrams cause by insulting on their interest, truely a big brain move that totally can’t backfire at all.

As I said, the last straw that broke the camel’s back, which makes sense given the entire background and context surrounding this specific tank.
In 2023, it was German players raging that Leopard 2A7V’s hull “only” had 670mm KE instead of 800mm KE.
Now, it’s U.S players raging that their 2020s MBT has the same useless 355mm KE hull as the baseline 1979 variant going against all logic and available information.

ARMs wont have LOAL currently no.

would be cool if they increase the stabilization range for tgps to like ~50km
its getting really tedious having to let go of my hotas and use m&k to place a POI thats like 37km away :(
I don’t disagree with that. Doesn’t change that they are being incredibly stupid by being hostile towards others for being excited for their interests being added.
It’s both unneeded and the dumbest thing I have seen in a while, besides the dude in my squadron and his Abrams stats (but that is a hard one to best).
That one is pretty comical

Numbers do not lie. They just don’t align with War Thunder’s physics.
To anyone claiming the community doesn’t care about the Abrams or that it isn’t highly anticipated: just look at the forum engagement statistics. I love numbers, because unlike opinions or bureaucratic excuses, numbers never lie. The data shows exactly where the entire playerbase is focusing its attention right now.
And speaking of numbers that don’t lie, it’s truly a shame that the only numbers currently lying in this game are the ones on the M1A2 SEPv3 armor spreadsheet. You successfully simulated the real-world weight on the scale, but forgot that mass requires physical density to exist. The community numbers are real, the tank’s weight is real, but the in-game armor model is a mathematical impossibility. Fix the calculations!

this is the least hostile thing you could’ve put LMAO, (said that with love so you don’t get mad)
Exactly! You hit the nail on the head. Those 150mm plates on the test beds were just solid steel dummies used to simulate the weight of the actual armor package before production.
The real M1A2 SEPv3 doesn’t use simple steel on its face; it uses the Next Evolutionary Armor (NEA) package integrated with new generation Depleted Uranium (DU) matrices and advanced ceramics.
Since Depleted Uranium is roughly 2.5 times denser and heavier than standard steel, the fact that Gaijin accepts the real-world weight increase in their spreadsheet but models the physical protection as copy-pasted steel equivalent is a massive scientific and mechanical contradiction. If the weight is there, the high-density protective material must be there too.
