Do russian gluttons actually believe that the Abrams is better than the 2A7 and T series lmfao
Delusion runs deep

In my experience, Japanese MBTs and Challengers at the very least are more survivable than the Abrams- even the Merkavas- and ZTZ-99A has straight out a significantly armor profile as well.
The Abrams will automatically die in 1 hit ad long as you hit it anywhere but the cheeks or the 3 pixels worth of UFP from the wrong angle.
The crew is so cramped inside that the frag-grenade levels of spall generated on the turret ring and even hull just snihilate 3-4 crew members every time.
And, even if you somehow manage to survive being hit, you will still lose 2 crew members, hydraulic pump, turret traverse mechanism, gun elevation mechanism, engine and transmission- effectively leaving you a sitting duck to die to a second shot.
In that sense, even the Challengers have some form of armor to withstand some shells at some ranges and angles, spall liners to minimise spalling, and lots of internal space on the hull, with crew members sitting quite high and no turret modules on the hull.
Then there’s ZTZ-99A- sure, lower plate whatever. But it has a 700+mm KE UFP compared to the Abrams’ laughable 370mm KE; and if we are going to talk about weakspots, let’s talk about the Abrams’ entire center of mass being a 50mm thick flat vertical plate, not to mention that the entirety of the hyll being 370 mere mm against KE is effectively as bad as ZTZ’s LFP.

Today I learned that multi-nation players (9 nations in my case; literally all ingame nations except Italy) are “lobotomised USA mains” as soon as they dare suggest that the Abrams is probably not the invincible flawless OP tank Russian mains make it out to be.
As someone who plays every nation in War Thunder (except Italy) and who actually tries to be objective, I don’t think either the Abrams nor Russian tanks are entirely better than the other. They both have strengths and weaknesses that counter each other in an asymmetrical way.
Russian tanks have superior armor resistance, armor profile and, sometimes, survivability; American tanks have superior mobility, gun dynamics and firepower.
Russian tanks are better to rush and brawl like you got nothing to lose, American tanks are better to play competitively.
Depending on my mood, I may prefer to play one or the other. That’s why I got all of them.
If I want to perform well while shutting my brain off, I play Russia. If I’m feeling like doing my best, I play America.

check his profile you can see why
Been over this dozens of times and russian mains always deflect. T series tanks must be shot in very specific spots which newbies are likely to miss or not know about. These weak spots are also easy to hide with bushes and don’t always cripple the tank thanks to sekrit fuel tanks and autoloader tanking rounds.
Meanwhile on the Abrams you’ll cripple it if you shoot anywhere other than the cheeks. Wow much difficult.
It’s common sense that this would result in T-series newbies dominating Abrams newbies. Be serious.
Engine might only save you if you shoot very low close or at LFP, even that is a might only.
They will always have two rounds right behind the engine, of course if you carry more than 10 to begin with.
Merkavas also have worse turret armor, gun handling, gun depression and mobility. I don’t think it has a single pro when compared to M1s.
Only CR2 with APS is the Black Knight that has awful mobility and less turret armor than M1s. It also has ammo all across the hull, making it’s survivability piss poor.
I almost forgot reload speed and their ready rack, in which only your first 4 shots have the same reload as M1, later on you’ll lag behind drastically.
Saying those two are on par/better than M1s is nothing more than a skill issue.
They pose more threat to your M1 but you’re still somehow moaning about RU tanks only, that’s weird.
That’s why we had mixed ARB when RU was “dominating” with Su-27 and ERs.
You tend to forget things really quickly.
What are the newbies doing in Uptire? That’s a skill issue
Just shoot; the LFP or side autoloader will do the rest.
Lots of internal space in the hull that’s sadly being filled up by ammo lol.
True
Only Merkava players will claim their tank lacks protection because they’re sick of repairing their engine. Ask anyone who routinely shoots at them and they’ll tell you they’re a pain to disable or kill.
That’s survivorship bias. Those rounds that lead them to fix their engines would have killed them in any other tank.
Good moment to remember that I’m better than you despite playing far worse tanks, so you can keep your little skill issue NPC lines for Click bait players, since that’s the only people you clown on, and with the help of the devs too.
You’re wrong about that too, 2A7 is inferior to the Tseries as well, but the gap isn’t as big. Reasons are the same however.
Again with the weird strawman and nonsense that you’ll quietly stop defending. Tiresome.

Not so much when you only carry 13+1 shells as I do lol. And CR3(TD) doesn’t have that issue, although it has a slower reload.
So your entire argument rests on the fact that USA players are newbies and cannot shoot the weak spots ? So nice , the cope about the superior armour is crazy considering the spalling inside the abrams is completely, while in every other aspect instead of armour and profile abrams completely outshines t series , skill issue learn the weak spots
When you remind RU mains that they would be stuck at 0.5 k/d without bias
No reverse gear, no gun depression, poor mobility, and can be lol penned from anywhere. Are you sure, lil bro?
So the lobotomy king saying the Leo’s are worse then t series is also cope or what ? The guy is clearly deranged
I am 80 percent sure you are just rage baiting at this point
