So another update, another post, asking if we are finally getting a model change for the TUSK mod for the Sepv2 at the very least. There are also bug reports which have been filed long ago for bulkhead, turret ring, UFP fixes etc. Asking at the beginning so there is time to make a change

Not a single Abrams-related fix. Again.

I figured I’d bring it up now, it’s ridiculous

Not a single anything related fix for top tier MBTs besides inconsequential renaming and whatnot.

Yeah, same for Leclerc.
And I love how they always say; “we make lots of bug fixes, look at the changelog”…
Like, dude, by bugs we are talking about things like MBTs missing 50% of their front armor profiles’ effectiveness or an MBT literally being unable to turn without coming to full stop because its steering has been broken for years since its release not, uh… (checks notes) about coaxial machine guns having the wrong name, the wrong machine gun ammo count or wrong smoke grenade calibers.

My Leclerc had the wrong name for the .50 cal coax, game is literally unplayable.

It’s getting to the point where the whole “ make sure to leave a bug report” means nothing. And the fact there hasn’t been hardly anything related to rank 8 ground is driving the argument more toward that way

Indeed. DOZENS of SIGNIFICANT bugs have been reported over the years, and even “acknowledged”… but it means nothing, NOTHING.
They just don’t seem to have the… motivation to finally actually address and fix these bugs.
Regarding the Challenger MBTs:
1- Still missing lower front plate spall liners.
2- Still too small first-order ammo rack (back bin should be included).
3- Still too slow first-order ammo rack replenishment speed (twice as long as any other MBT).
4- Mantlet’s trunnion is still hollow (just because the shield has cavities it doesn’t mean it ought to be hollow; those cavities aren’t there to be left empty…)
5- Challenger 3 (TD)'s turret damage model is still a non-matching copy-paste of the pre-rework Challenger 2 turret even though a more appropiate model had already been ingame before being reverted the following update after having been corrected.
6- Challenger 3 (TD) is still missing 17 HP because the developers did not convert BHP to HP even though the engine power is correct on all other Challengers which have the same engine.
7- Challenger 3 (TD) is still the only Challenger family member to have a 6 second reload for no real reason at all, making it, all in all, barely a sidegrade if not a downgrade compared to other family members, even though it was suppossed to be the pinnacle of the British Ground tree.
8- The LFP add-on armor on TES and 2F still has different thicknesses and protection values across both tanks despite supposedly being the same armor; in both cases, WAY too low.
Regarding the Abrams MBTs:
1- Still missing a properly modelled volumetric turret ring.
2- Still missing proper fuel tank bulkhead plates’ thicknesses.
3- Still missing proper fuel tank bulkhead armor geometries/plates.
4- SEP and SEPv2 still missing the improved turret armor.
5- SEPv2 still unable to take off the dead weight called TUSK II.
6- M1A1 AIM still missing its historical KEW-A2 even though other Abrams tanks at the exact same BR use M829A2, which is even better.
7- M1A2 SEPv2 still missing its historical M829A3 shell for no particular reason even though Gaijin officially stated that it would still be balanced (at least that new shell would make it feel like an actual upgrade in ONE aspect…)
And just like these, many, many more issues across many MBTs.
-Type 10/TKXs still having their steering utterly broken.
-All of the Chinese Top Tier MBTs still missing their spall liners.
-Leclercs still missing at least 50% of their protection on the upper front plate.
-Leclercs still missing their floor fuel tank bulkhead plates, which should make the fuel tanks external.
-Don’t even let me get started on the misery of the armor (or lack of thereof) on the Merkava Mk.4s and Namers.
-Leopard 2A7V/HU still having worse armor than an early 1990s Leopard 2A5 prototype (it’s not even up to the Swedish test results’ standards) and than the 20 year older Strv 122s.
And a very, very, very, very long etc… as an MBT enthusiast, this is desperating. It feels like they just don’t care one bit.

I think it’s the case once again, where technical updates have to be made, no matter if it’s during the dev season or after, that impact vehicle values like these. The fact that every time there is an update or an “It’s Fixed!”, or an update, and there are no changes to be found, whether by reluctance or lack of importance. Because the research has already been done for the dev team. They only have to confirm sources and implement. It can’t be every three months, every dev cycle.

Gaijin should really have a look in this update to compensate the lack of non C+P additions to many nations to finally address many if not all issues you mentioned, that would at the very least improve the experience of a kilometric ton of players, while still delivering new stuff that were anticipated by many.

I agree, after seeing the list of vehicles and additions, the best we can do is change what we have. And it seems the best way is to be consistent with the reports and problems not being addressed.
If you don’t know stay out of the forum, your input is not helpful

- Still missing DU hull packages in (at the very least) the SEPv2.
- Still missing DU armor KE effectiveness (current armor is non-DU explicitly stated to be worse than the domestic packages).
- Still missing the integrated spall liner (because, yes, it does exist).
- Still missing improved turret side armor.
- The engine of all Abrams is still massively too loud.
- (iirc) TUSK II still provides less KE protection than normal RHA.

So, the Abrams is finally getting a buff?
All you can do is stay optimistic and consistent. Nothing has been confirmed or denied as far as implementation, and nothing has been planned (at least in the patch notes) for a change in any way.
So it’s a possibility they’ll get a buff?
Yep. How can we French Players even exist…?!
It’s possible, especially since there have been a handful of suggestions accepted for months. It’s a matter of when. The main ones that have been accepted (afaik) are the bulkhead, turret ring, and gun mantlet fixes.

Honestly, if it means a fix, or more accuracy, I’m all for it as a US player. I want to see everyone eat from the same table

Yeah… I’ve been hearing every game that players including me complaining about the M1/M2 Abrams bring weak. And since it’s a main battle tank it should be a OP tank.
