Russian Bias in 2025?

Sounds like a skill issue since the stuart can front pen any M1 through the turret ring.

Yeah no thats not happening IRL

But still 3BM17 can still easily penetrate the side armor of all modern tanks including the M1 series so it can partially be chalked up to inferior tactics at play, the Iraqi military, in part due to coalition forcing such engagements, spent most of the war engaging coalition force in head on engagements which their armor just cannot really win, or defensive engagements which, once again, benefitted the long range weapons of the coalition and superior frontal protection of their armor.

It was fully before the proliferation of stand off PACT and NATO AT equipment as well, meaning that tanks and aircraft were the primary killers of tanks, not ATGMs and FPVs like today.

Hindsight is 20 20 in the end as well, the Iraqi military could have put up a far better fight for a number of reasons, but the coalition could have also fought far better as well, but equipment V equipment wise, the Iraqis had far more quantity over quality, but their quantity was not obsolete, inferior, but far from obsolete.

Frankly a good parallel could be made to the last battleship v battleship engagement in WW2, Kirishima VS USS Washington. Kirishima was a far older Kongo class battleship while Washington was one of the US’s new cutting edge fast battleships along with South Dakota who was present and being battered by Kirishima.

Kirishima was indeed quite inferior to Washington and South Dakota, yet, South Dakota, due to numerous issues and failures onboard, was nearly at the complete mercy of Kirishima, who, if allowed to continue engaging, could have critically damaged South Dakota, and she did deal substantial damage to her.

Meanwhile Washington, instead of arriving and engaging directly, took a moment to sneak into position nearby Kirishima, using her superior detection equipment and fire control to force an unwinnable engagement for Kirishima, and, that she did.

Had Washington been in the same position as South Dakota, Kirishima would have easily dealt the same damage to her, yet, through superior use of the ships systems and proper tactics, Washington was able to deliver an unstoppable uppercut to Kirishima which doomed her nearly instantly.

Tactics, skill, and most importantly, knowledge allowed Washington to dominate the engagement, not just tech.

So slower, much less maneuverable tanks should be expected to flank to have a remote chance of doing something useful ?
T-72 is inferior to the M1, let alone T-55s and T-62s.

I call BS on the T-72 being inferior to the M1. I constantly get penned through anywhere on any of my M1 series tanks by T-72s and T-80s. Even when you check in armor test in the main menu, the armor on the M1 is superior. The in-game results show the M1 is nerfed heavily.

Dude I was talking about real life.
And yes, T-72A in game is pretty inferior to M1.

Terrible, but not legally blind as USA players. I’ve played a match with US in the allied team, I had to scout a vehicle less than 250 m to the guy in a M1 Abrams to notice the target.

They’re literally worse because they keep holding W expecting their armor to do the work.

This “which major nation has the worst mains” contest needs to end, because most nation mains from all 3 major nations are incredibly stupid, almost headache inducing.

It’s not a theory but completely true from Shells to Ammo belts guns , Armor , visibility, crew survivability , driver hatch that still is not fixed from release of the tanks …

I didn’t gas light you lol. YOU admitted the Team was a problem, not the vehicles.

So thousands of US players complain about a single nation’s tanks being unbalanced, yet you somehow come to the conclusion that the problem is all of the US players? Interesting…

It is the same for 6.0 German mains who are complaining about the the Tiger 1.

So you have all those German mains complaining, do you think the other nations are the problem?

Big difference. German mains are complaining about a single vehicle. US mains are complaining about nearly ALL of the higher tier US vehicles.

Which?
the M1A1 and the M1A1 and the M1A1 and the M1A1
They are more or less all the same

Just like the 7 or so tiger 1 variants that are in game

The M60 variants, how loud the bradleys are, the lack of rangefinders, the smokeless stinger issue with the Imp. Chaparrel that has been going on for almost a year, the radar tracking issue with the M163, I can go on and on.

The thing is I newer hear ppl crying about those but only about the Abrams not having DU armor

Also, there are some significant differences between the M1 variants too.

Yeah one has a worse gun and the other ones just get heavier and heavier
