Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

Second best family of tanks though.

yes it uses flir which is basically gen 3 thermals like 2a7v

Why would Germany even get the Malaysians one, it’s not even their sub ? Unless it’s a case of huge German main coping

From Raytheon “3rd GEN FLIR provides high-definition resolution and magnification with increased precision from much greater distances.”

Yes, I was just kidding. I guess it looks more like a NASCAR car than a tank.

The Swiss CV would look good as an event or squad.

The M829E3 is the Army’s next generation 120mm Armor-piercing Tank round. It replaces the M829A1 and the M829A2 projectiles. These rounds are widely regarded as the most effective tank-fired anti-armor weapons in the world. The E3 round will provide the army greater armor penetration capability than its two predecessors and also with improved accuracy. The M829E3 120mm Cartridge is an Armor piercing Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot - Tracer. This Advanced Kinetic Energy Round that defeats advanced threat armor, with improved accuracy at greater range. This new 120mm KE round for the M1A1 and M1A2 Abrams fleet features a combustible cartridge, overall length is less than 986mm, Depleted Uranium Penetrator. Weight is less than 56 Lbs. and it uses RPD 380 propellant. The System Contractor is Alliant Techsystem, Inc.

Fair then, but still. US mains look at the Sep V3 like it would be a massive upgrade over what theyve already got, I dont think it would be, that it would somehow come in a vacuum and not alongside other modern tanks like the Leopard 2A8 or Challenger 3 and finally, and this is a fact that most US mains refuse to accept, the Abrams IS one of the best MBT families in the game and performing perfectly fine. I still strongly beleive it should have a 6 second reload not 5 and most of the 12.0 ones should be 12.7

m829a3 would be fine but m829a2 is already an amazing round so i dont see the point?

628mm of pen on a 5s reload for the first 19 rounds is technically the best ingame at the moment other than maybe the japanese with a 4s autoloader for the first 15 with 613mm of pen

my list goes

1: 2a7HU/V (tied)
2: M1a2 SEP V1/V2
3: Strv 122B+

other than armour i see nothing the 122s have over the abrams

Today I’m bored and feel like setting the forum on fire.

Now I must run, I am being chased by winged hussars

Well to be fair irl it is a very good preforming mbt. But i can not say the same in game unfortunately. And btw to be considered a “good loader” in the us army you have to be able to reload the tanks within 5 seconds

@Piciu713
May I asked if its Planned to (Rename) the ingame displayed versions of the diffrent IRCM types?
Like for example
IRCM for Mi-24
DIRCM for the Ka-52 and
LDIRCM for the Mi-28NM

Currently they all are just labelled as “IRCM” even tho they are allready DIRCM/LDIRCM

Aint no way u putting strv 122 b+ below abrams lol

the 122s are the most over rated top tier tanks and i will die with that opinion

It has the best firepower at top tier, equal or superior mobility and equal or superior survivability to all but the leopards.

It is easily within the top 3 MBT families in-game right now and the M1A1 HC, Clicbait and M1A2 have no buissness being at 12.0.

Heck, I even question why the M1A1 isnt 12.0 instead of 11.7

Reload rates are always a balancing thing, there is no reason for example why the Challenger 3TD couldnt have 5 second reloads like the Challenger 2. Heck the Chieftains are currently at 8 seconds when they should probably be around 5 seconds as well

Yeah I love the CV90 and the PL-01 concept tank was super nice looking personally I’m hoping for ghost

ig bro…

i love your cope for cv90. keep it up

Asymmetrical balance. The Abrams shouldn’t have comparable firepower to the uparmored Leopards when the Leopards have significantly superior armor and survivability; because then, the Leopards are just straight up better.

Since Gaijin refuses to model any semblance of armor in the Abrams tanks, then at least they should be unhinged glass canons to be an asymmetrical yet fair match against the Leopards.

Regarding the rest of the tanks, yes, they also deserve improvements and BR adjustments.
