First things first let me get this outa of the way. This isn’t a cope thread.
I’m probably just bad at the game but I can’t seem to do good in the Abram’s (10.7). It doesn’t matter what I try I always get penned and my round seems to do nothing to most tanks.
I would love some help on how to play them better, and maybe some on how to play future Abrams well too.
Btw IK not to rely on my armor
Don’t trust your armor, this applies to every vehicle in-game, the Abrams has good mobility and gun handling, also good armor, but you shouldn’t rely on armor, just because the other guy seems to not be able to pierce your layers of composite materials doesn’t always means he can’t deal damage.
an important lesson to learn in war thunder is to never rely on armour, everyone knows your weakspots
I haven’t ever trusted my armor lol, I’ll only trust it once I unlock the T-72 and things above that. I feel like it’s not even worth trusting it in a downtime sometimes.
The M1 needs to be played aggressively but in a stop-go-stop-go manner, you can’t hold W due to the armor, use the speed to get good location and wait for the enemies then make quick peaks making side and weak spot shots until they are dead, use you maneuverability to relocate after you have overstayed your welcome, around 2-3 tanks.
The Early M1 main strength is its ability to limit the enemies’ chances of shooting back.
Ahh ok I was wondering why I had the lowest penning round at 10.7
You just need to do two things, either snipe behind a hill, or try to rush with good reload time. Try using it in arcade when u have a lot more margin for error.
lower front plate on most tanks is a massive weakspot especially russian ones cause they got crew there and usually don’t have era there
I’ve tried snipping but the round losses way to much pen at any viable range, and rushing in always gets me killed becuase I don’t have good armor.
Yeah I try to shoot there but sometimes my round just kills the driver and baam i’m dead
hey the m22 can kill a t34 (US one) with one shot, so don’t give up, also hit it with apfsds in the center of the LFP and it should go straight through the driver normally if not its just a gaijun moment
