decompression is good and there are many other tanks that received new rounds in this change including the M1HC but the plane old m1 is overlooked in this regard. there are even some other L7 derived guns that received the 105 version of dm33

I’m still waiting on these average and good players you talk about to play all 3 and show me how great the M1 is against its contemporaries.
I know you won’t, since you’re a private account who doesn’t share stats.
I know Necrons is no longer an authority because he doesn’t even play.
That leaves quite a few others to step up.
And again, you make my point by acting elitist and claiming something without providing evidence.
I’ve shown what I can do with the 3.

It’s not fully down, since values still update.
High sample size = balance, but high sample size =/= balance? You can’t have both. Thunderskill has 4.5-5.0 million users logged last time I checked, and assuming War Thunder has had around 85 million players (15 million more than late 2022), that’s a participation rate of ~5.6%.
What other studies have such high participation rates? Seriously.
I absolutely agree, that and the 120S packs the M829A1 with a 5.3 second reload at 10.3 now.
And no one could call said tank overpowered.
So what’s their excuse there, when the M1 only has better mobility and not even close to the same turret armor array?
I’m sorry but every time I read this I can’t help but snort and ask myself if this man even plays the game regularly.

well we all know that answer haha
What is the issue with that statement?
Buffing something that is already good sounds like a good reason for it to move up (or that it will move up in future BR changes).

I’ll reiterate yet again. It is parity, because everyone who has played it has said the M774 round is anemic and doesn’t do the job, particularly on long range maps against T80Bs and Object 292s.
And again, the turret armor in the M1 is lacking and will not hold up to ANY of its contemporaries at 10.7, so claiming its mobility is enough to save it isn’t going to work here as an excuse.
And again, play 15 matches in all 3 said tanks, and tell us your kill scores after you play your heart out with no respawns. Test to get as many kills as possible.
No offense but this is some real keyboard warrior gameplay. i’ve seen you in like every abrams thread arguing with people Xd whats the point

Even with a better round, you would still be aiming at the same weakspots right?
That I agree with, I was very surprised when I could go through it with 3BM42.
I would love to plat 15 matches in those tanks, but I don’t have any of them.

Pretty much just more reliable I believe in game m833 has 395mm pen

Just because they’re the same weakspots doesn’t mean that there won’t be more reliability of penetrating at distances greater than 1,000 meters, and greater spalling. The difference in punching power of a DM23 versus a M774 is astronomical.
I’m not surprised because I’ve been playing the M1 and its series for over a year, but we have brought it up in the past. It’s factual, though, because the 3BM42 went into service in 1986 directly after the Soviets were made aware of the first M1s on the front. So yes, DM23 and 3BM42 both will treat the M1 like a light tank, rather than like a main battle tank.
Also, I understand. Just so you understand, I’m not saying all this from mere ‘wanting a super-tank’. I’m doing it from actual months of playtime in these vehicles.

No, I’ve played both tanks a good amount and it’s not super noticeable and the 5 second reload more than makes up for it.
DM23 no, your armor is usually at least 395+ KE equivalent on the strong parts, it’s very easy to bounce rounds in the M1 if you don’t play like an idiot (not implying you are one). 3BM42 is a capable round for its tier but the tanks that use it underperform in many other ways.
The closest thing the Soviets have to the M1 is the T-80B (another tank I’ve played a good number of games in), and the T-80B lacks a lot of meta features the M1 has, not even mentioning the armor.
No. I already shared my kill results from playing the three tanks.
No. I don’t know how you bounce rounds, maybe you’re doing turret wiggles galore to change angles of the incoming rounds, but most aim for my hull and take my turret ring before anything else.
I don’t have the Abrams but type 93 out of my type 74 was able to pen more often than not

And I have a higher K/D in the M1 (2.5) than the 2A4 (2.2).
It’s much better than the 2A4, at least. Generally better armor, though the weak spot is bigger.
At the very least, 2A4 and M1 are equals, and in my opinion the M1 is slightly better. They’re both the absolute kings of their BRs. Or were before the change, I haven’t played since the BR update because of burnout from the event and using low BRs to grind it.

Would you believe me if I said leopard 2a4 should be using dm33
I just saw your numbers. It’s impressive. But I’m guessing you’re not much of a cap pusher. You appear more like the kind of guy who camps a spot and snipes.
I’m also going to take a wild guess and say you’re not operating off a GTX960, I’d guess you got a custom rig that’s purposebuilt for gaming of most modern sorts.
If you wanted it to be 11.0, sure
I’m actually usually the first to get to the cap. Easy SL and RP if you play premium vehicles. Plus you get to kill the people who aren’t expecting you to be there early and don’t pay attention.
You’re right, I’m not. I’m operating off a PS5 lol

I know this trick.
Also, PS5? Boooo. You got a whole-ass television set to scan.
