I think brother is confusing Abrams with Russian tanks. T 80 U for example is fast, small target with even smaller weakspots, good survivablity even in case of penetration, respectable cannon, and can reload while firefighting. The only downsides, long barrels, little gun depression, and slow reverse speed which are all easily negatable with good positioning anyways.
Abrams, on the other hand, is a bigger target with massive weakspots that result in being disabled or killed even with poorly places shots 90% of the time. They’re slower than most toptier tanks with the toptiers I can think of that are slower being Merkavas and Challengers.
No worries on the quoting I know it’s towards me lol. And I personally have no idea how good or bad German air is. I just have to look at the incessant and never ending whining from German mains about their air tree, that’s all. I’m taking what they say at face value, and the agreeable responses by people towards their plight which, thankfully so they have to balance out GRB(if this is the case).
To your point of a teammate vs a tank problem, I agree within reason. Like I said, in my t series, I shoot and things go boom. Yet the exact same play style I have to pixel snipe in my Abrams. That’s the point for me is my play style hasn’t changed, at all. Yet I demonstrably do better in T series.
However I haven’t flown the air trees of the nations I referenced for balancing and just go off what I see.
From what I have experienced I think Russia at this tier with these tanks is great. Not the best, but really solid.
I smoked a bit so I hope this is a cohesive paragraph lol
Practice is the sole criterion of truth.
You can now use DM53 to aim at the area I marked. Try to see if it can penetrate.
Take another look at your pictures filled with errors.
Again, that is the old ZTZ-99A model, which is not in-game anymore.
That turret shot as well as that LFP don’t exist in the current iteration of the game.
Nor does that hull roof shot exist anymore.
So yeah, your ancient screenshot that overlaps to thick armor doesn’t matter.
lmao, this new model. I just made this image two days ago.
If you don’t want to admit it, I can open the game demo now.
Even in old models, these weaknesses still exist. To be precise, the new model has more vulnerabilities than the old one.
That’s even worse… cause at least if it was the old one there was less fault on your end.
Including the UFP in the overlap is already bad enough.
You shouldn’t have so many errors in your screenshots.
Especially since you don’t include all of Abrams’ hull roof, which is a double standard on your part.
You have to fix your errors, either by reducing the size on Type-99A to correct levels, or increasing Abrams & others to the same standard you use for Type 99A.
The Abrams is missing a lot of area of the UFP that will be penned (specifically more around the driver’s hatch), also you’re missing the auto-bounce-into-turret-ring areas, and more areas on the roof.
