Exactly xd same as the leopard 1a1 L/44 is a direct upgrade over the TT counterparts too.

Oh look the M1A1 click bait, sits at 11.7 when its virtually identical to the 12.0 M1A2 sep bar has no tusk kit. has access to a top tier round, can club 10.7s.
well it currently has a 40% winrate so according to these wise developers, it is currently suffering and deserving of a BR decrease (or another buff such as a 4 second reload)

Imho it’s one of the best BR for BR AAs. I’m getting it soon, but having a gepard that’s better armored, LRF, and better for anti-air is something i’ll take for more mobility.

its also a copy+paste M1a1 HC which is in techtree
if anything its slightly worst because the chair on the roof increasing its profile
Its a god send when compared to using Vulcan in 8.7 lineup.
Yeah not having 20rpg sabot belt is inconvenient in SOME scenarios but like with Gepard you will be mainly using AP belt on most things (my spicy take? Its even better against air than HE belt because they dont self detonate at 3km).
The M1A1 HC is almost identical to the M1A2 now adays, the distinction used to be the m829A1 rather than the A2.
Infact the HC is identical to the M1A2 now.
it is not identical, HC has IRCM and can equip dozer blade while M1A2 has CITV
Short of a useless dozer and useless IRCM which as it stands are nearly cosmetic.
The armour and firepower are identical, mobility is identical.
Seeing as I have them, and BTW as far as im aware the M1A2 doesnt have CITV if by that you mean commanders thermals. the M1A2 sep and sep v2 get it though.
CITV, Commanders Independent Thermal Viewer
M1A2 does have one
so do SEP and SEPv2
Ill need to check when im on the game again but certainly didnt have one when i was using it last which was only two weeks ago xD
iirc its had it since it was added
Aye I see where I fked up, its got the commanders sight and thermals but theyre gen one, when the sepV2 and such is gen 2 thermals.
Apologies mate, but lets be honest, the only slightly useful upgrade is the CITV and even thats not much to go off, the tanks are still functionally identical.
The M1A1 HC has the same armour, same weapon system, same gunner thermals, optics, same mobility, and arguably the dozer blade is a negative as it means its harder to disguise the tank.
IRCM at that BR is useless anyways unless some poor sods brought a marder or something up to top tier.
The M1A1 HC, and A2 should both be 12.0 vehicles.
Or the M1A1 HC loses M829A2 and stays 11.7 while the A2 moves up to 12.0.
(M1A1 Click- Bait should never have gotten m829A2 without a BR step up.)

Dozer blade acts as a free armor while at the same time not really limiting gun depression, as for some reason gun can clip through the dozer.
yeah I was just trying to say they arent quite identical
if anything I slightly prefer the HC because people tend to take slightly longer to aim and are more likely to mess up a shot when you have the dozer blade on.
Or the T-80U-E1, which is better than the TT T-80U while being at the same BR.

the slight amount of armour it gives for giving away the coverage of bushes for me is negligable and not worth it at all man.
Never had that at all with the HC i do worse with it than the M1A1 as the blades given my position away due to it sticking out and not being covered with me camoflauge.
never has it saved me from a round especially at the BR its at, on the chieftain sure but at 11.3 and now 11.7 never.
As I said premium bias mate.
however an M1A2 is substantially better than the T80U for the same BR.
tis comparable to the T80BVM which sits at 12.0
Too many people confuse what we have now, a premium bias, with russian bias.
F18C/A early is an example of this rn.
Or as was stated the T80U-E1 being better than its TT counter part.
Reckon could lump the ram saagol in there as well as its the same BR as the merkava Mk3s but has the additional composites (while it sucks its still better than the TT counterparts from what I’ve seen)

Like the the 10.3 UD is clearly better than the two T-72B almost everywhere, reload, zoom, and having composite armor extend to the lfp, or maybe the B can go down to 10.0 because they kinda sucks to be honest.

nah they should stay at 10.3, 9.0s would get hammered by them, sure some can out do them but they aren’t bad 10.3s.
The T80UD should be 10.7 ive been saying this for ages. its literally a side grade to the T80B
