I play as Germany and I find the Abrams much easier to kill than Russian tanks. The one-shot kill area on the Abrams is very obvious and easy to hit even at long distances, unlike the T-90.
Yes. Crew skills are more important than upgrades with some tanks, their influence is massive (way too massive tbh)
My hunky loader making the fuel in fuel tanks less prone to explosion according to gaijin

I know that an ace crew don’t die by an explosion of the fuel tanks but I don’t believe that the chance of exploding become lower.

Somehow even with aced crew on 2s38 I die to frontal EXTERNAL fuel tank explosion much more often than I dont. Aced wizards have no power over ts.

I believe the crew vital perk only significantly improve their resistance against fire damage, like they can stay alive longer when the vehicle is on fire. While against stuffs like tank rounds, a maxed out crew vitality makes no difference compare to a lv.0 crew vitality. Not entirely sure if they are more resistance against spall.

Well yes if 1.82 million people play the bvm and way less people play the Mk4M there is a higher probability of BVM kd ratio to be lower. However there is no evidence out there to suggest that BVM outperformes the MK4M even with a big gap in games played between the two vehicles I have yet to see the BVM outperforming the MK4M in game. Player base does make a difference that is true but I am sure there average players playing the MK4M as well. What are your stats within the last 1 or 2 months of playing both vehicles?
Dude I bet I will smoke you in hearthstone :)
Well yes Merkava is more survivable with worse armor (upper front plate and turret cheeks) but both tanks suffer lately they are not meta at the moment the M1A3s are dominating plus the 2a7s and the Strvs.
A fuel explosion will kill you even on an ace-level 150 crew.
The Leclerc has a high likelihood of exploding for some reason, and I’ve personally witnessed it over years of gameplay.
The full M1A3 hasn’t even been revealed publicly and isn’t in War Thunder.
Yeah. I’m talking about fuel explosions with the Leclerc being frequent, not burn damage. Idk what YearoftheABRAMS is thinking.
Yes.
150 Ace will significantly decrease the chance to die to a fuel explosion.
The fuel has the same chance to explode as other tanks, however, because of the placement of the tank being so close to crew, it increases the chance of the crew dying to the explosion. You can survive fuel explosions, fyi.
So your statement that I have confirmation bias was immediately disproven by your own statement that the Leclerc’s tanks are close, which increases the chance of dying to them. Thanks.

Read it again. While petty, it is true. Fuel tanks exploding is not the same as dying to your fuel exploding.
Does the Leclerc have a higher chance of exploding from a fuel tank than other NATO MBTs because of its fuel location and lack of protection against it? Yes or No.
Oops my bad a typo M1A2 Sep V3 that is what I meant. But you still havent shown me your BVM and Mk4M stats?
What does “exploding from a fuel tank” mean? Do you mean a fuel tank exploding or the tank getting killed due to a fuel tank explosion? Those are 2 different things.
Assuming you mean the former, the answer is no
