Exactly, that’s what I mean. You have to aim for a specific pixel and roll the dice to see the chance of penetrating a Soviet MBT. At the same time, the Abrams can be killed anywhere except the turret cheeks from any angle. But the Abrams has a 630 mm-penetration shell, which still can’t penetrate Soviet MBTs in about 80% of areas. But yes, the shell does have higher penetration.

You had the LFP RIGHT THERE. You chose to go pixel hunting but you aimed poorly and it didn’t work out. The LFP was there the entire time and you’re the one to blame for not shooting at it. You don’t get to complain about having to go pixel hunting when you take unnecessary steps and don’t aim at better weakspots

2000m is a completely unrealistic engagement range and it also does not penetrate regardless.

Well clearly the Trophy and SEPv3 are enough to draw back the good players to the US side. And they are not wrong, the trophy and SEPv3s are absolute beasts.
Holy skill issue. (Not that it’s a suprise though)

In case this is not obvious, this is sarcasm.

That guy can’t get anything right in his testing.
Ignorance or maliciousness, your call.

Has to be malicious if he’s willing to edit images to make the armor look worse than it actually is.
I just like to check in on this place from time to time and it’s always the same old boring dead horse arguments about the best MBT in the game… 😔

You probably didn’t notice that in my video any hit to the gun mantlet resulted in a one-shot kill. In your video it didn’t even hit a crew member. That’s exactly where the difference in balance is.
I showed this intentionally to reveal all of the Abrams’ vulnerable areas, because WT doesn’t display them correctly.
3BM42-2 passed testing and trials. That’s how we know it’s performance in relation to the original 3BM42 and 3BM60. The literal placard that shows the penetration of 3BM42, 3BM42-2, and 3BM60 with a target located at 2000m that has armor angled at 60 degrees is on the forum you started about Mango 1 and 2.

I would like to see the videos and results of these tests.
Then we would have to remove M829A3,DM53 and basically all modern ammunition as well because there is no such thing for them. They are all classified so good luck trying to find a video.

The 3BM42-2 is literally an expo-only round; there is no data or confirmation regarding state trials. Very little is known about the projectile in general, and there is very little information about it online.

Enough information to know that it was not put into production due to the economic viability of producing a third mbt round that is no longer needed, because you physically upgraded all the tanks it was meant for. All of the tanks 3BM42-2 was intended to be used in were upgraded so they could field the longer 3BM60 in their autoloader making this upgraded, but shorter rod useless.

yes, but US players are still mostly trash. i lost 9 games in a row yesterday because of trash teams. its been a while since i had lost that many matches in a row playing the US, but it was enough to make me consider to stop playing my US lineup again
i guess the turbo garbo players are finally starting to unlock the new abrams…

Really depends on when you play in the day and what server. At night, I’m finding better teams with Europeans than my own fellow Americans here.
It does, UFP of M1s is ricochet-city.

you mean “i made up more green area to make it appear worse than it actually is” please.
Making the sides of the mantlet on the turret face which are 900-1000mm’s KE thick on SEPv3 green??? like holy delusional, whats penetrating that? a railgun?
mhm. yep. really seeing all that green.
and im not even going to get started on the upperplate which every single idiot in this games community has consistently not understood the performance of it for YEARS.
