There’s A LOT that needs to be done to this game to make me play it more, and one of those main things for me is for Gaijin to stop screwing over everything that isn’t Russian.
And I will call out skill issue on people when it deserves to be called out. If you have an issue with that, it’s your problem, not mine.
Now, back to main topic. M833 would still be underperforming at 10.7 compared to what the other MBTs fire, but the discrepancy wouldn’t be as massive as it currently is for the M1 having to go without it.
We’re focused on the M1 Abrams and M1 KVT, yes, and it’s playability?
The Leopard 2A4 and its premium counterpart, even with only DM23, are still performing at average with a 1.5 k/d ratio in 15 matches, versus 1 for 1 with the M1. The DM23 round is substantial also in perforation and spalling effects, often making it a one-shot against most T-series tanks (see it and JM33 in the Japanese Type 90s).
The M833 is equal to the DM33, which can be found on German tanks at 9.0 BR. M833 should have been added when the Abrams was first put in the game. Theres no reason to move it up in BR again for correcting the issue.
Frankly, it should get the round without the changes. As an average player, I can say it DOES underperform, in terms of penetration. It’s a glass canon without the canon.
I’m not sure if you’ve mentioned it but the CCVL fires M833 at 10.0. While yes it’s a light tank, it still means the M1 could get M833. Similar situation with the Wolfpack firing M900, or the TCM AGS firing M833 (its only 11.0 because of the crew-less turret).
Overestimating yourself quite a bit by calling yourself average. Aside from that you are not an authority on whether or not it underperforms, only gaijin have the data and the fact it has remained where it has for so long while highly played indicates it is balanced where it is or it would have changed. The fact that above average and good players can absolutely dominate in it also indicates that it is not underperforming.
Wow, unsurprising that you resort to insulting my skill at the game. Which 1. you don’t know how good or not I am, and 2. I expected you to insult me, as i’ve seen how you have acted in this thread. Don’t make a fool out of yourself. Go home. Take a break. Thank you. Add the round.
Glass canon because it is a canon housed in a weakly armored vehicle. Because anything at that BR can get through it. (Not every round obviously but enough to where it’s armor is pointless.) T series take actual knowledge to aim at, but for Abrams it’s just point and click.
