The M1A2 has about 200-300mm vs KE more than the base M1A1.
It doesn’t show up in the xray viewer for some reason, but go into the protection analysis and aim a dart at the M1A1 and M1A2 turret cheeks.
I’m actually suffering with 6.3 Russia atm, because imo Russia has way less competitive vehicles at that BR compared to the U.S. They have mobility (with M18) + armor, and when teamed up with Germany, it’s a 100% loss for Russia 80% of the time. I feel like Russia loose most of the time at that BR
And it’s at 6.3-7.0, when the U.S. ONLY have 50-53% winrate
Imagine the big big big suffering NATO players have to deal with against Russia at 10.0-13.0 lmaooo
M1A2
M1A1
That is not a base M1A1, that is the M1A1 HC which has the same armor package as the M1A2.

In other words, the balance sheet situation has only worsened since March. It’s scary to imagine what awaits us next month.
For the first time in three years, I haven’t purchased a premium subscription. Until my balance gets better, I don’t want to buy anything.

I was about the buy a french jet in order to grind for the Rafale, but I was like “If it’s to loose every game I play against Russia, heh…”
Didn’t buy anything
And almost all jet battles are mixed so you’ll be both teamed with and against Russia in almost every match.

So ARB is just russian jets vs russian jets? And all other jets are just spectators in the match?

Because there everyone plays against everyone. They don’t divide the sides by nationality.
Soviet’s start falling off after the 4.0-5.7 ground line-up because almost every tank you get is either undergunned, has a long reload time, and/or just flat mediocre compared to the competition. There’s a couple gems here or there, but they’re almost all premiums/market place tanks. Once you get to 10.0 is when the USSR tanks start dominating again.
It’s why I don’t really play much past 6.0.
Its not pure random or all-vs-all though, Some nations have a tendency to be paired together more often than others.
Like Britain and France seem to get matched together quite often, so I rarely fight Rafales in the Typhoon.
US and Israel I think often get paired together too
In terms of armor protection, there is no improvement from M1a1HC → M1A2sepv2 because Gaijin used the Swedish test trials to model any DU Abrams. So technically they are all export models lol.

There really weren’t that many improvements. Keep in mind that the US army and USMC were using the M1A1 for a very long time. The HC seems to be more of an upgrade to bring the M1A1 up to M1A2 standards in certain aspects.

Thank you this clarifies a lot I was missing. When I saw the M1A1 non HC I was like, they all have the same armor. Glad to see there’s a least some difference between DU and non DU.

When will they add M1A2 SEPV3 to the game?
air is actually far less plagued with russian bias, and, dare i say quite balanced compared to the mess that is top tier ground (only compared to ground though, cause it’s still unbalanced as f if you observe it in a void)
It goes more like “OP plane of the year stomps on everybody” but at least more nations have a go at doing the stomping
Mig23 MLD (USSR) → F-14 (US) → Gripen (SWE, UK) → Rafale (FRA)
