My friend is saying the Abrams is better than t-80u what are you going to say to him to proven wrong

The Academy - Players helping Players
23

Leopard 2A7V and Strv 122 have better armour that is just a fact

24

Less reliable armour though

26

M1A1
apart being having 5 sec reload
Better gun handling,
Good mobility
M829A1/A2 being a strong penning round
being able to reverse
Gen 1 thermals
Armour is average, may shrugs off some hits, but still easy to pen, in the turret ring and hull
still easy to pop

T80U
alright-ish shell option
3Bm46 is fine
the Armour is good
the gun handling is not that great
abysmal reverse speed
gen 1 thermals
still can be easy to pop

Conclusion
the Abrams is better
it also depends on which Abrams

Yes, the T-80U is better than the M1 Abrams. It has a bigger gun, better armor, and better speed. And better rounds. Its unsurprising, given the M1 Abrams is a 10.7 with a 105mm and M774, if I may add.

I mean he’s not wrong in premise, in a good players hands, the Abrams’ is a more flexible MBT and has a higher skill ceiling, T-80’s, and especially 72/90’s throttle you pretty hard

But if he’s saying something like T-80U vs base M1, then the 80U is for certain better compared to the actual 10.7 T-80, the B

M1A1 / IPM1 vs T-80U is a different story though.
