Hmmm. Interesting point, but i’d rather choose T-72M2 or Obj.292
Weaker gun (105 vs. 120 on Leo) is only thing i can find worse than Leo on BR 10.3 , but Leo in game doesn’t have ammo that it can easily shoot IRL (DM33, DM33A1, DM33A2), same as Abrams i suppose.
I shoot the T-80BVM in its turret and it dies thinking its flipped M1A2 armor will help it.
All I do is just not shoot its hull, or I shoot its idler wheel.
T-80BVM is among the easiest tanks to frag alongside Abrams because of its layout.
Though BVM has ammo to detonate while Abrams does not.
Also weird of you to claim the entire turret is a mantlet…
Yeah, but Abrams has better armor, better reload, bigger ready rack, and slightly better mobility. DM23 isn’t even that good at 10.3 anyway, I’d rather have the reload.
I’m like, 90% sure, that textolite, is mostly used to:
A) Cause premature fragmentation
B) Catch & hold shreds of the broken penetrator rod
C) Slow down the penetrator
Am I saying that your wrong, no, absolutely not, but I do believe that the spalling should be, highly decreased, also, the slowing down of the penetrator and the “shattering” effect caused by the stupid high angle will neutralize most incoming Long, and Short rod penetrators.
Practically speaking, the armor isn’t great, but the thing is, the high angle, just really would cause, extreme shell shatter, if no shatter occurs, the layers of steel will slowly “guide” it upwards, and cause it to have more LOS and less pen.
have you seen the out right bullsht reason he has said over the years at why russian tanks somehow always are under BR when these tanks have more to save them than any other tank in the game? He has non stop made up some bullshit excuse at how The Abrams is BETTER than anything russia has when the abrams is absolute dogsh*t in this game.
The context of that opinion changes depending on who says it. If a not very good RU main is saying it, than they are just a bad player. If an experienced American main is saying it, then that makes their opinion credible.
Disagreeing with someone doesn’t make them a Russian main.
Personally I think many non top tier(I won’t speak on it since I don’t play it) Russian tanks are sub par, and are only good because people can’t aim that well.
Soviet tanks and their BRs haven’t really been an issue outside IS-3 for a spell, but that was due to M48s being 7.3 previously.
Decompression allowed the IS-3 to move back up.
every br the odds of you shooting at a soviet tank and the shell bouncing off some weird angles is high, this has been consistent over the years, i dont even care about who mains who. The amount of times i;ve hit russian ammo and nothing happens or i’ve turned the propellant charges black in a russian tank and nothing happens, meanwhile the tip of a APFSDS lightly turns yellow, BOOM THE ENTIRE TANK EXPLODES.
imagine caring about skill in a game where russian tanks are given artificial handi caps and where people sit and spawn camp. I truly could care less, the only thing that matters is silver lions and R.P to research tanks.
