The threat simulant was the BRL 127mm Shaped Charge, this achieved 636mm of LoS penetration at 60°.
Chemical Energy protection lies somewhere between 636-750mm, some sources (linked below) indicate 700mm or 750mm.

If you’re referring to later models, you shouldn’t call it the ‘‘M1 Abrams’’, and there still isn’t any (authoritative) source that estimates the protection to be so high.
False.
Once again, M1 Abrams was required to defeat 115mm Soviet APFSDS within a 60° frontal arc and at 800-1200 metres distance.
Threat simulant used was XM579E4 with 322mm of LoS penetration @ 60°.
Kinetic Energy protection lies somewhere between 322-350mm at normal. (refer to some of the sources above).
Later DU-equipped variants are stated to lie between 600-650mm of KE protection within a 60° frontal arc.
False.
Later variants did, not the M1 Abrams.
False.
There’s not been a single authoritative source provided that indicates the M1 Abrams or it’s later variants (excluding engineering vehicles and such) utilize Kevlar spall liners.
gaijin is again at it… while removing bmpts from 10_2 lineup after few months of outrage and nearly 90% win rate and milking it to the bone, they added there T72B3 arena… top armored top dart T72 with hard kill APS… russia (irl technologically suffering) is only nation with APS in 9_2 and 10_2 lineups… not to mention that T72 with top shell and best armor with APS vs those few IFV that have some degree of ATGM (which is at most absolutely trash because it gets stopped even by Kontakt-5) and Leopard A4 or M1 (yes that one with paper armor and 105 gun). Add Leo A5 and, M1A2 and Challenger 2 (another one) or just remove Arena from there… iam sick of your “balance” when russia gets best of best vs mediocre which in most cases doesn’t even work in game because you absolutely cannot model it properly (spike, nato NERA or armor)
there is why hate russian “biass” on perfect shot no nera hitted and the autoloader eat spalling from ammo and crew…+ other t 80 storred me in turret no pen but i die… yeah dont fix the game…
Ah yes, no ammo explosion and the autoloader that’s very closely bound to the horizontal and vertical drive, breach control and some other components has no effect on them :)
lol Sorry, but M1A2 is superior to your precious T-series tanks.
There’s a reason I’ve witnessed more turrets fly in War Thunder than has occurred in history.
Well, your posts can keep shilling for Soviet tanks all you want, but that won’t change reality.
M1A2 is superior, and you’ll never have evidence to prove otherwise.
Also, saying it’s worse in-game is saying it’s worse IRL as well.
War Thunder does not 100% simulate real life, and?
War Thunder doesn’t need to be the hypothetical perfect simulator, because its dozens of competitors are worse than it.
M1A2 is vastly more mobile, has good armor, fires the best MBT round in the game from the 2nd best gun in the game, etc.
AlvisWisla I never hated the abrams, youre just making stuff up. Most people and youtubers agree that the abrams is much weaker in game than irl. I also updated my reply to you aswell
Pretty sure people over estimate how good the abrams is while also under estimating what a person can do with a t series. At least when it come to random battles.
Like for instance i was able to get a 10 kill game with the t80B in an uptier on eastern europe. got shot multiple times while going from ditch to ditch but was able to survive thanks to the Armour.
Now, if i had the base abrams, i could probably do the same, But the minute anyone shoots you anywhere but the cheeks, the turret basket screws you over and thats the end of it.
Now i’ve also had a 10 +kill game with the abrams on advance to the rhine by camping and holding 2 lanes. Thanks to the turret traverse and slightly faster reload. It was something a t series could probably never keep up with.
So while T-series are worse than the abrams, its only just a little. Abrams get more leeway in more situations, T series are better in more specific situations.
I disagree, the Abrams gets underestimated more than anything.
You are right for a large part. The Abrams has a higher skill floor than the T-80 at most BRs. However what a lot of people don’t get or don’t want to believe is that the skill ceiling of the Abrams is also so much higher.
