That is true - however, which do you think is easier to expose? The LFP or the turret ring?
I’m referring to the fact that gaijin have previously said that they are going to be changing the thickness of the turret ring.
It’s also nowhere near as exposed as the Abrams’ aswell. Turret still sits too high off the hull and Gaijin has yet to correct it despite quality bug reports filed.
The LFP is the first thing a BMP is gonna see going around a corner and you’re acting like you cant hull down in the abrams as well

This very clearly is not what they were talking about and is not related.
I have mentioned that.

What do you mean?
Does this say anything to do with remodelling?
LFP is further away from centre mass than the turret ring of most MBTs. Are you sure?
You can hull down way more easily with a LFP weakspot than a turret ring weak spot - that’s for sure.

Horrible thing they’re doing to a tank that’s already treated terribly enough. As if there wasn’t enough reason to just not play USA past 8.0-9.0BR…
Thats where im always aiming first in a light tank and it works especially against challengers since the charges are behind the driver
You can hull down just as easily

Well, they are remodelling the armour type of the turret ring apparently.
What did you mean by this, though?
How do you know this isn’t a nerf (that this person was talking about)?
One scenario where the turret ring isn’t quite as much of a problem.
Nice.
Sure, but why do that when there’s rarely any challengers in each game to begin with? Most tanks are of other sorts, which would be more useful to pre-aim near the breech / centre of mass.
Okay sure we’ll go with your theory that when gaijin accepted the bug report for the abrams it was just to reduce the effective thickness by a very small amount. No other changes are coming in the future.
I suggest you submit a bug report on the thickness then.
You can tell what tank is around a corner by doing this magical thing called using your camera or if that doesn’t work this second magical thing called ears i heard it lets you listen to whats happening in game

I have no intent on making a bug report on the thickness.
I am simply stating the fact that the turret ring is more than just a weakspot for MBTs. It’s a universal area for any vehicle with APDS / APFSDS of more than 80mm+ of pen to shoot for, which can reliably kill or cripple this ‘MBT’.
I think the Abrams is a good tank, but its armour is much to be desired - at least for general case scenarios. The ammunition is useable in downtiers (but that’s questionable now that it can only face 9.7s), but it starts suffering moreso beyond that than its counterparts.
I play it like a light tank more than an MBT - relying on its armour is pointless, while its reload and mobility can usually make up for it.
