Regarding the Hull Armor of the M1A2 SEP V3

at least the cancer that is the BMPT has it, to be fair that thing is such a laser beam anyways that even without it your losing a barrel or getting lol penned as an Abrams, glad that’s getting fixed completely next update

is this new

nah i think most new releases (last 3 updates) that have completely new models not based off another already in game have detailed models including, fcs so it likely would have been there on release similar to things like the stingray, m10booker, and the NASAMS 3 launcher

" The M1A3, a 1990s project. The changes to the hull geometry remained on paper. Source: IMPACT OF LOADING DISTRIBUTION OF ABRAMS SUSPENSION ON TRACK PERFORMANCE AND DURABILITY"

This is NOT where this is sourced from. The original Document has no name but would be named either, “Future Concept- M1A3” or “Armor Improvements M1AX.”

Not only did you not properly source the image you provided, sourcing it to some random load distribution document it never came from, you failed to credit the original uploader.

It comes from an Archive and @kreyton_m1e1 on twitter scanned and shared it, you should probably credit him or remove it and it’s erroneous source claim you made.

Of course its not from the twitter post, it is heavily cropped. It’s from an upload to twitter dating back to early 2025 or from one of his reddit posts.

Here is the file date for it, Jan 3, 2025.

Sorry, but there was a post further up showing that there were mission packages that pushed the tanks weight up to 90 tons.

A mission package may not mean a permanent fixture of equipment, but it sure does mean that it’ll be operating in the field for days or weeks with logistics support.

And if it’s expected to be an option in a combat deployment, since you know the US military planners aren’t idiots, they’ll knoe there’s the possibility of combat scenarios where the vehicle will be unable to quickly access a seevice depot.

So your whole argument undoes itself since you aren’t driving the tank out for 20 minutes and then going back to the depot bro.

Your argument is emotionally driven. Again, army mission planners fully expect and plan for the potential of unplanned extended combat deployments where supply lines and services can and will be disrupted meaning the tank has to be able to endure the useage of its mission packages weight.

Also stop arguing. Just stop. The logic that the army has talked about AND implemented based on paperwork and tanker testimony shows the armor HAS been upgraded.

The issue should be an increase of GBR being raised and abrams moving up.

This much fuss over not crediting some rando from Twitter.

What Gaijin said is actually plausible if you believe that the US military hasn’t improved its armor efficiency or material tech for 50 years and still relies on basic steel. Gaijin is literally giving the SEPv3 the worst possible defensive stats :D

As we delve deeper into classified modern vehicles, get ready for more “NATO tech can’t be good” from gaijin cuz we got no source to correct them :)

But he played thousands of games with the Abrams, even the best players like him can’t maintain such a high WR in their most played vehicles. Renzo is a much better player than me, just look at my stats with the T90M and the T80BVM, i can maintain a high WR too.



@_Renzo hes played ONLY 88 MATCHES in T80BVM… Jesus
While he played THOUSANDS at Abrams, and still light years better than you…

Ahahahha Stop making me laugh already.

At least you can laugh about your own skill issue, I lowkey respect that.

as the distance of the POV looking at Abrams increases, the ratio of LFP:UFP gets greater; or surfaceAreaLFP/surfaceAreaUFP become greater. Of course if you are above the turret and ~30? meters away, the UFP and LFP will look equal. It’s like a limit equation: if you extend the POV of the camera out to infinity meters, the LFP become a much larger surface area from the POV in comparison to the UFP.

Well, after update drops and M829A3 alongside it, I expect the 12.0-13.0 russian winrates to plummet, no more W to victory

Implying you could do that already…

Well there will still be plenty of players like Dead_Undertaker that will need to be carried, so I don’t have that much faith in winrates plummeting.
