because wtf were they even doing with that like really 50mm increase despite the fact that they were able to make the same volume have ~550mm KE protection in the late 80s early 90s with an armor package that didnt weigh anywhere near what gaijin is implying
The SEP v3(or more generally top tier US teams) are doing really good right now. While the SEP v3 has problems like underperforming hull armor or the hull fuel tanks being 9mm instead of 25mm, it’s an absolute hulldown menace and is very worth playing.
It has almost no roof junk so you can better peek ridge without being seen. It also has the updated turret ring which is great against BMPT. Furthermore, the turret side have also been improved meaning that you can now wiggle the turret like a Leopard without risking a sabot going through the flat cheek or turret side.
That’s actually not true. On top of wiggling ability and not being killed so easily from side turret, the mantlet weakspot is much smaller than on previous Abrams to the point of being probably super obnoxious to hit for enemies. Also, M829A3 is a damn railgun against 80% of Russian tanks you face.(Premium/Event T-80U, T-72B3). T-90M are strangely enough quite rare.
@SadRIPer Here, did this quick. It’s a really rough drawing but it’s about correct. This is the turret against 3BM60 at 500m. Top is new SEP v2, bottom is SEP v3:
Green is to represent shots that will actually enter the crew compartment, not just breech/barrel you. As you can see, turret overlap on the SEP v3 is much better.
At this point I become convinced russian bias is name of bacteria emptying nato players skulls.
I did successful -4 flank, suppressed their anti air for me and some f15, even bombed “indestructable hull down monster” and some other unlucky guy, shot down chinesium dorito, earned nuke. And they had only one job - kill that gripen so I can safely deliver nuke. Ofc nobody spawned spaa and f15 was doing anything but trying to kill thing pinging me and him with its radar.
You and your 5-6 comparse are the only ones on this planet to defend ingame Russia and say they suffer/they’re weak/they’re nerfed too much.
Live with it, your opinion and your mates’ doesn’t mater, the large majority of the playerbase knows the truth, and quits the game in consequence, and it makes me very happy.
Maybe when Gaijin will see the playerbase plummets like crazy and thus the money as well , they’ll start considering the players giving them euros and USD, and not roubles.
