They already got sm pantsir which is literally fly swatter that can counter ANY missiles thrown to russia, and they are getting ANOTHER aps modified top tier tank? When other nations rely on single aps MBT (if you are lucky because not every nation has it) to counter heavy LMUR / kh28mt spams? What the hell guys.

Yes, basically.
Only semi-reliable way to do it these days is getting lucky with massed dumbfire rockets using CCIP.

Oh, and don’t forget it also has ERA for the LFP, too so even harder to deal with, let alone with stock HEAT.

Most likely,
maybe this is the end for me for playing ground now

Ok i didnt see that. This is just crazy
HEAT will be the only thing it’s good against though, it’s just 4S20 charges so no KE reduction
Another hilarious thing is that the LMUR will most likely loft higher than the Abram’s Trophy APS, making the Abram’s new APS completely useless and DOA, while JAGM doesn’t get its correct loft angle (bug reported and accepted 8 months ago) and will get intercepted by the T90M’s APS
And M829A3 has no performance increase against Heavy ERA, either
Okay? This armor won’t make the T-90M any harder to kill with APFSDS rounds, that’s my point
America is getting one as well or did you just fail to see it?

Same way Black Night & Merkava Mk4M are.
Just focus on using APFSDS with tanks, and you’ll win more matches bringing better equipment & tactics anyway.
NATO gets stronger & stronger, Soviet mains in shambles.

did u forgot to put /s at the end
Gaijin isn’t considering the implementation of a ERA Bypass mechanic. it’s not going to do much anyway
They’re pumping Russia up to undisputed GRB champion with no one having a chance.

they could just increase the dart’s pen value to it’s go through ERA like butter but you’re right they are not gona do that. Nerfing Russia is not in their plan
its like we just missed the abrams there and focused just on the t90… also since when was russia king of mbts? everyone knows russia is carried by its crazy lineup, not the mbts itself.

Because it changes nothing of any importance? And until we get confirmation that any of the multitude of issues with the Abrams are fixed, why assume that they are?
As previously mentioned the APS probably won’t have the angle to deal with LEMUR as they selectively have access to a a much higher lofting angle so come in much steeper.
It’s a SEP so Same Exact Protection, so no improvements there.
Gaijin erroneously believes M829A3 is no improvement over M829A2, so is unlikely to be faithfully modeled.
And for all this it gets to be even heavier so losses out yet more of the mobility edge it supposedly maintained, so its of no worth to High Skill users, and looses the Side skirts for the privilege if removed.
The LP-CROWS doesn’t have an option for the 40mm Mk. 19 AGL or FGM-148 that would provide an option to deal with light armour.
It’s simply not really got any upside over the M1A1 or -(HC)
i understand your concern, but i should note that my lmurs do get intercepted by aps relatively easily. ive never been able to kill a merkava 4m (trophy aps, 35 degrees vertical protection) without spamming to use up all the charges just for 1 kill.
lmurs are not the only problem cas wise,
trophy will do a great deal of protection against the onslaught of apache guardians and z10me spam

With the change to MITL, This will become much worse because you also effectively get to chose when to dive, so can make the approach much steeper.
