yes, it lacked the rack that from all available evidence it cannot use
meanwhile F15CGE was added without a missile rack that is known to be functional, compatible with F15Cs and having been shown on those stations
well yeah it shouldnt have gotten dual rack r77, rather ungimped r77 and ungimped fm back then which would have actually helped it

you mean like how F15C still should get its flight model fixed?
and how AIM-120 is massively nerfed currently?
*russian, not Russian
just like the fulcrums
same can be said for the R-77 series, but they are now pretty goated in game so idc

Mobility, gun handling and reload just beats every advantage that the T-series have. Also the weaknesses you mentioned mean very little when played well, why do you think good players always flock to the Abrams over the T-series when they have to perform.
I think you are confusing your personal struggling in the M1 with the tanks performance. Then again, a lot of people always find it easier to blame external factors for personal struggles so it might also just be that.
1 crew member + destroyed FCS/optics + red/destroyed breech.
Congrats, the T-series is now a free kill.

Lemme guess. You wanna quote that CIA document where it was just a guess on it’s performance at an airshow and conflate it with the 1993 German tests.
Or you’re using the engine bench thrust instead of the engine thrust when mounted in the airframe itself.
The biggest issue the Fulcrum has currently is it’s FM, and Gaijin has already made multiple strides to fix it again and again. Which says a lot when Gaijin loves nerfbatting everything the U.S. has or leaving it in an incomplete state (AIM-120s, F-4E) or has completely inconsistent standards on what sources and the amount are needed.
It rolls back behind the hill it was using as cover and repairs itself.
The major issue the T-80 and T-64 lack is reverse rate.
Having an autoloader that’s 100% consistent is better than having your loader be killed in the Abrams (if you don’t die in a single shot.) and having a slow as crap reload.
Real survivable
This honestly shows your bias very well. Instead of having the vehicle be accurate it’s always “Let me arbitrarily nerf other nations.” Because that’s totally fair

yeah no, not with their paper armor
It’s absolutely ridiculous at the moment. russia pulls a 54.5% winrate with almost 35% of all 12.7 games played, that’s more than the US and Germany combined. We’re truly heading towards russia thunder if they keep going like that.

They absolutely are undertiered. Most of the M1A1 HC/M1A2 counterparts are 12.3-12.7, most M1A1 counterparts are between 12.0-12.7 too and most of the IPM1s counterparts are at 11.7.
I don’t know why I bother though. It’s well established that you are a US main and not very good at the game. So either you aren’t/can’t use them properly due to skill cap or you want these vehicles to remain undertiered since you can’t compete in them otherwise.

Even still, the bug report even states the Su-27 was buffed before, showing at least a willingness to fix the aircraft. And I want the Su-27 fixed. I want a plane to be accurate. Not under or overperforming. If something is OP or an aircraft is OP. DON’T ADD IT IN.
Meanwhile the AIM-120D doesn’t have the two-way datalink, literally the biggest feature for the missile. That’s like if Gaijin released the F-14 without it’s phoenixes.
The F-4E is still a frankenstein model of ARN-101 and Pre-ARN-101 standard and the M1 Abrams basically never having any of the issues it has had since it’s inception fixed.
That’s the thing. Russian planes, even if it’s half-assed still gets a bunch of attention given to it meanwhile U.S. vehicles get ignored or it’s an absolute hopeful blessing that we get given something that isn’t just steaming crap that won’t get fixed.
The M1A1 and M1A2 are not only slower, but the turret ring weakspot is even larger than the 105 Abrams turret, the LFP becomes a massive weakspot now making it even easier to oneshot the tank. The gun mantlet is missing an estimated 260mm of RHA (if we just go by raw steel) and with how it is now, it literally can go from the mid to low 200~'s of armor. You can literally shoot through the mantlet and through the blast door.
Compare the Abrams to it’s counterpart, the leopard, and you can see how the Leopard 2 just outright out classes it over time. it gets more and more armor in not only the turret, but the gun mantlet and also the hull. The Abrams Turret drive weakspot is massive and unrealistic you can reliably penetrate it with full caliber shells. It’s a weakness that shouldn’t even be there in the first place.
But as you have shown.
You’re biased.

Russian bias only exists when the GAME wants it to be!!!
Its beyond rigged and a farce.!
The Su-30SM got dual mount pylons designed for later generation Flankers… which includes Su-30SM and Su-35. Allegedly [I’m not alleging this] Su-27SM2/3 as well.
Not only that, but those were added after multiple months.
F-15C GE got MRMLs cleared for use on even more modern F-15Cs for the fiscal year of 2026.
F-15C GE getting MRMLs is like Su-30MKI getting double rack R-77s.
So you oppose F-15C GE’s MRMLs? Or do you have double standards?
Maybe CCs should start advertising other tech trees then…
That way players diversify like they did previously.
China is far more interesting than Soviets anyway.
I have no interest in playing Soviets right now. Part of it is cause it’s popular, part of it is cause I prefer playing more interesting and easier [for me] tanks.

lol so the thing you quoted means that the M774 cannot penetrate the UFP of the T80B
Hence why I am saying you can get through the majority of the turret APART from the front of the turret AS well as the UFP. It means the UFP cannot be penned by the M774.
Again You aren’t looking at the turret entirely are you lol
you can shoot through the Entire top half of it you’ve picked the one part that I stated you literally cannot shoot through
that being the front of the turret
Because it’s sitting as arguably the best 10.7 in the game right now?
The bug reports have been accepted and are with developers to be decided what to do for all turret rings on abrams, gaijin is slow as balls as well as this the abrams don’t under perform at all TBH, why would they buff the crap out them for no reason?
shock horror mate
The gun mantlets in game Are artificial weak points for pretty much every tank Leopard 2A5s etc should have more protection there.
The leclercs certainly should.
CR2s as well but here we are.
So going past the literal balancing of tanks at their respective BRs.
You really are a US main through and through mate, the fact you think “just shaft the US vehicles constantly” while USA BR for BR is one of hte best trees in game is quite funny.
There are bug reports open on Russian vehicles as well which have been that way for years, go check the feeds.
It’s literally whatever will make them cash they will fix and resolve.
name one that actually happened
The only time I’ve seen a dedicated fix for US stuff was when the HSTVL reload got fixed conviently as a premium was added of the same tank.
what russian vehicle bar the BMPT and the obvious cas which has been more or less unanamously agreed upon is over performing to the negative of the game?
he says after the mig29 airframe still is wrong and has been bug reported on since it was added in december of 2022 almost 4 years ago?
Yeah 11th novermber to the 16th december, wow such a wait.
Okay what’s your point? CR2 can get shot through the front by a marder 3 and one tapped?
No you take out the FCS, 1 of the gun crew, usually the breach and turret ring?
F4E was pretty strong when it dropped, still is strong as hell for it’s BR tbh.
The Aim120D with data link would absolutely shithouse lobbies.
Same as if brimston got LOAL, though im of the mind none of this crap should be in the game due to how advanced it all is and nothing can keep up.
Also you forget that the F14A dominated as renzo said for 8 months then when we got a series of decompression went back to dominating it’s BRs to the point it pushed the Draken down to what? 10.7?
I’m sorry what?
it’s had plenty buffs since it’s release, wait are you the guy who’s not got past the IPM1 yet?
Do you even have the M1a1 or M1A2?
the M1A2 is 12.0 when the arguably worse leopard 2A5 is 12.3?
the M1A1 is 11.7 and it’s arguably again the best 11.7
Content creators make videos about content that people find interesting not the other way round. If russia is the only tree getting interesting content then creators will make videos about that.
Its not the job of content creators to advertise meta changes, its Gaijins job to create a game environment where all tech trees are similarly interesting and balanced to play. A job that they are currently spectacularly failing at.

To be fair, your wording here is at best ambiguous, and at worst does indeed convey the exact opposite of the meaning you think it has, at least according to the normal conventions of English grammar and sentence construction.
It’s not ambiguous, at all.
There was nothing left to interprate I said the round cannot penetrate the turret face as well as the upper frontal plate.
What English grammar and sentence construction would that be?
It’s said black and white.
the round can penetrate the majority of the turret apart from the front / face as well as the upper frontal plate.
There is nothing left ambiguous about that mate.
It means it cannot penetrate the UFP nor the turret face.
If I said, It can penetrate the turret parts as well as the hull. that is ambiguous.

“Interest” is subjective and malleable.
There is nothing to meta chase in Soviet ground.
Of course, I’m saying this as someone that’s been facing Soviets at the top end.
Are my lineups meta? Yeah, most certainly at this stage. Are the tanks themselves meta individually? Only the American and German ones.
I haven’t brought a CAS plane in so long, just done with wasting spawn points.
I even stopped considering helicopters.
It’s just all tanks for playing the map, and it makes the 9 crew slots I have on USA feel a little empty, but it’s far more fun and effective to just play on the ground.
If I can be one player that’s effective with my spawn points, that’s one less person getting distracted by and making errors due to CAS tactics planning.
