I used not to look forward to them because I thought they were just M1A1s with big gun… so the weak turret and bad thermals put me off.
But turns out that CATTB has;
1- Second generation thermals.
2- Increased turret armor.
3- Quite fast autoloader.
Therefore, ever since I learned that, I wouldn’t say “no” to it!
It also was proven to have spall liners and it has LWS on it too.
it has huge ugly turret after all
Now I look forward to it EVEN MORE!
It’d honestly be the best Abrams in the game if they model it correctly, spall liners…etc
Thumper is more likely to be an event vehicle given it was kinda a more neach prototype testing some stuff regarding expanded 120mm and 140mm stuff. The CATTB on the otherhand was a vastly more developed system that had alot more potential for service however never made it thanks to budget cuts since the USSR went the way of the DoDo
I guess you can just post the link
Everything you said is true, but it still has the same weak spot as all other Abram’s, which is the drivers port. It would be hard to fight, yes, but still possible to kill quite easily.
this is the first iv seen someone say the Abrams weak spot is the drivers port. Usually they say its the turret neck or mantlet
Unfortunately, that goes for every Abrams; even v4.
So the best we can aspire to is better firepower and glacis armor! (Leaving aside fixes)
honestly the best thing about CATTB is the battle skirt
The turret is beautiful, thank you very much.
Here is the link to PDF too:
This is all small stuff, we need Homelander in US tt now.
And invincible space laser
After shooting at a T-90M:
“400 billion dollars for the world’s most expensive Hit.”
Imagine being able to teleport in the Abrams, at a small price (gross economic output of Lichtenstein in GE)
tbh, funniest thing with the CATTB is that i can fully see it being added unable to penetrate the UFP of soviet MBT’s still resulting in US mains crying its the shittiest thing in the world
Saw this a few days ago now, little bit old. It’s very clearly fake, it’s just a wishlist, and according to Gszabi had a little bit of effort:
The armor penetration of the CATTB was somewhere around 700-800 mm at some angle. I gotta find the picture that showed its characteristics compared to other APFSDS rounds at that time period.
Oplot with 3BM42 🥀
