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.
Peep this too. Missing a HUGE chunk of armor in front of the breach.

I feel like this is a very large portion of the problem, gaps in armor, a lack of polish and finish on the Abrams in a critical spot, that while most might see that as an issue, the spall generated from nothing there is massive! Good find!

Thanks! I try. I also know that the Nera plates are modeled incorrectly. There was a recent minesweeper based off the m1 that got wrecked and shows the layout.

It seems like they just keep ignoring it at this point maybe we will see fixes in 2025 or the addition of sepv3 but idk at this point complete silence from gaijin

maybe they will fix them after US winrate hits 20% because new top tier premium
what exactly are you showing the turret armor or the ring
He is showing the NERA composite armor and how it’s modeled wrong in game

Nera plate layout inside the armor
I honestly wonder if those two back orange plates is were the DU armor lays on US domestic armor packages.
I don’t know enough to make a guess TBH. I did search online and found this but who’s to know for sure.
all composite armor is “modeled wrong” there is no reason to modeled it “correct”
or do you want every corundum ball to be modeled in the t64
He’s wanting the added thickness taken into account. That’s what is happening. The armor plate can absolutely be added with little work
Honestly I thought this kind of cross section was part of what they have been looking for this whole time as a source to accept a change.
You got a source for that? Seriously because if it has some unclassified, public distribution backing that would probably get the Abrams its spall liners.
Edit: Going off of the original image reddit post it’s a combination of Abrams, T-64, and MBT-70/kPz-70…
It is worth remembering that the Magach 3 ERA Premium, being a tank from the early late 70s, uses ammunition from the 60s, being in the same Br and being from the same era as the Magach 5 which uses the APDS-FS M111. It could be said that the Magach 3 ERA is a bad premium version of the Magach 5. All this happens firstly because the Magach 3 was added to the game as the early 70s version and at the same time the era armor was added which made it into the late 70s early 80s version, and secondly it seems that when a premium tank no longer sells, gaijin forgets about it completely and acts as if it didn’t exist.
If you stop to look, you see an abysmal amount of errors in the armor models, penetrations, historical nonsense with the ammunition, and the developers do not bother at all to fix them, they simply follow their marked route to maximize benefits without having to do many things, and not bothering to spend time correcting things that in the end do not generate profit. They are negligent even with the accepted reports, since there are many important reports, and that affect many vehicles that have been accepted for a year but not corrected yet, when they should be corrected as quickly as possible, since these are things that greatly affect the performance of the affected vehicles.

That’s why I would rather start with the things we have accepted suggestions for, like bulkhead, turret ring, TUSK, turret bustle, for changes.
I don’t even care about hull armor tbh. If they’d just fix the breach, turret ring and lower mantlet, I’d be happy and never complain again. We’d be able to reliably hull down without playing dodge the breach shot

Pet peeve of mine, TUSk 2 isn’t a thing. ARAT 2 somehow got the name. TUSK is just TUSK, even if it has ARAT 2.

Still has the hydraulic fluid reservoir labeled as a hydraulic pump, even though the real pump is next to the engine.
