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)

Some still does seep through though. Like the Su-30SM2 having very high spawn speed, whilst aircraft that could probably do with it like the F-18s, just dont and the “benefit of the doubt” approach to the radar and engines the Su-30SM2 currently has is a little annoying. Especially given the hoops most of other nations have to jump through usually

yeah and R27ER that were annoying, though multipath was higher
But it doesn’t ruin your entire gameplay like fantasy black hole armor BMPT, Magic Lemurs being the only ones to one shot more reliably, SM SV the armed version of Sauron’s Barad dûr, and KH38MT the missile that strikes you from non existence
That is true, but im fearing the Su-57
Su-57s will mostly depend on : are they willing to fix IIR resistance to LDIRCM before it makes it in game
I’ll agree with you : the odds are not looking in our favor
Yeah… I see some truly dark days ahead of us.
Im expecting the R-74s dual-band seeker thingy, to inexplicitly be better than IIR
The Su-57 to be immune to any IR missile, whilst also having the best stealth because “reasons” and probably also the best ECM because “reasons”
Im am actually truly dreading what they’ll concoct
“We believe it is a marketing truth”

Lads with certainty we have a premium LMUR spewer coming this year. Paired with the Ka-52M
It just makes sense to do it.
T-90M2 Obr 24/25 or a T-80BVM Obr 24
Su-35S with R-77M because Aim 120D is so good…
They call it the tireless glider
That’s all it does on 100km and 3 business days

They can’t add it without adding M829A4 so not going to happen.
What shell it has is rather irrelevant, will probably be added with A2, or they’ll add new top tier shells to all nations and add it with A3s or maybe A4s. What wont happen is it being added with A4s in a vacuum
Challenger 2 LEP (what is refered to as the Challenger 3 TD in-game) only ever test fired DM63s and never used DM53s for example.
The ammunition is the only reason to add the SepV3 if not the game is just better of not bothering.
A3 won’t make a difference from A2. My opinion the SEPV2 was even a waste and they just recently gave it LWS but that’s an okay nice to have niche
It really depends on how gaijin implements sepv3. We know it has a next-generation armor package both in the turret and hull, it gets trophy aps, which would be nice considering all the F&F munitions that are being thrown around at top tier (sepv2 can also have trophy), and as you mention, it can get a3 to a4 rounds. Also it gets the low-profile crows seen on the m1a2T. Personally, I think Gaijin is going to botch the armor again, but we shall see, that’s if they even add it. At this rate, we will get 2a8 before Sepv3.
Based on the armor discussion, there’s really no point in adding the SEPv3. They’re going to say “its heavier but we don’t know why lets go make shyt up again” then decrease the speed anyways. APS isn’t worth having in the game unless it can deflect slinging LMURs, AGMs, etc. which it can’t. They might say A3 can penetrate russian ERA, A4 definitely will and penetrate any APS, knowing Gajin they’ll say A3 can’t for russias sake so what’s the point?
Just like the SEPV2, it’s a nice backup when your SEP or HC are out of battle.
EDIT: We know they’re going to botch it so it’s best to keep the game as is and fix what they have.
I mean, we got the proof on the armor with Sepv3. Plus trophy definitely can deflect AGMS as it does in-game. But yes I think they will still botch the armor. I’m just curious if they are going to straight-up deny that it got any armor upgrades.
