Unless it managed to reduce weight i wouldn’t consider it successful. Its a good concept and definitely a step the right direction
I still don’t understand why they didn’t approve that
That is literally leagues ahead of what we have now and is honestly a force balancer
Our tank is literally the worst tank in the world by the very definition of what the Abram’s was meant to be
It was meant to be cheap (it’s not that)
It was meant to be easily transported overseas for potential conflicts against the USSR (now Russia)
Can’t even do that without costing a fortune and can’t even be transported across most bridges
It chugs gas
If the fuel tanks get hit
Unlike diesel the crew is cooked and will die just from the fuel burning alone
It’s not fuel efficient at all which is the opposite of what you need
It’s just a major pain
It did say it managed to reduce weight to 60 Tons and the turret looks like it can shave off a lot as well.
Step in the right direction lol
Chassis protection could be upped by a lot
Honestly it’s better to start with a new chassis. Utilizing the modern concepts we got out there
Reduce size
Reduce weight
Focus protection on vital areas as well as crew
Crew-less turret
Autoloader
And you’re set
Not really much you can do with an old chassis. Still the X variant is a step in the right direction and if they were going to update it they should have gone with that
You still did not state any proof of your claims at all, so i won’t take you seriously from now on.
If by success you mean the tanks are terrible, then yes.
Totally loving watching ANY part of my turret basket being hit and instant spalling and hydraulic fire… yet I’m watching my 120mm APFSDS phase through Russian autoloaders with 0 damage done to them. Always interesting watching my round go through a LFP, through the driver, phase through the auto loader basket and knock the engine out yet their ability to fire and reload took 0 hit.
This change has made no difference, tanks can take rounds and have a yellow or red basket and still be able to rotate the turret and shoot back.
Pls send a example
Just made a bug report on how my red turret basket was somehow locked up in my M1 Abram. Funny part is, there’s a manual override so it should be able to rotate anyway
Have you tried watching hit replays? Seems obvious to me that none of the things you described are in those situations.
Open the hit replays and watch them, you can also send the video here.
The first case - shot a shaped charge too low, it went below the autoloader, and in general shaped charges do not go too deep into the tank.
The second - you hit the stern of the tank, it can be seen on the hit camera. You either have a big ping, or you took a video from replays, where there is camera unsynchronization and you actually hit there
With the release of this AF event this game has became a bugged mess.
The first shot was an example of how bad this game is now bugged he killed the driver but the tank continued to drive.
Hence the “I don’t have any saved in my DVR”.
Also, are you talking about the post match hit replay or the server side? I don’t trust them. For example, both my friend and I hit a M18 center mass with a Tiger H1 shot. On the server end, the shell went through without detonating or hitting anything. The hit replay said it should have nuked the entire crew.
Did you miss the driver being knocked out and he KEPT DRIVING in the first video? Or how I shot the second one in the engine and somehow killed the driver?
Heck, I’m more impressed of how I killed the second tank XD Shot the engine and somehow got the driver
For the first case, I don’t have an explanation right now. For the second, the driver killed the stabilizer from your apfsds.
However, I didn’t see the cases that you described “my projectile goes through the autoloader without damage”.
I hear that a lot, but there is no such video. It seems like players are making this stuff up to justify themselves
AGAIN, because I don’t have on my drive atm XD I feel like that’s self-explanatory. However, I did show moments of things not acting properly.
The driver killed the stabilizer from the apfsds? What?
This thing
I’ll repeat that I often hear about it like it happens all the time, but it really doesn’t.
I can just as well claim that I shoot at any other tank and nothing in it takes damage.
I play a lot and know how things work. In 99% of cases, players just don’t realize what happened because they aren’t well versed in the mechanics of the game and don’t consider their actions after playing.
You mean the sabot? The petal ain’t going through a side of a T80 XD
If I had one still, I would have added it. You can either take my word or not but I still included moments of damage not actually meaning anything (or random damage appearing for no reason)
Aim left side and stop complaining
If you’re hitting empty space YOU ARE HITTING EMPTY SPACE
