would you rather have an aps or a useless upgrade to the turret armor and 3rd gen thermals?
I’d rather get a reverse gear and a gun that can aim a bit lower

gen 2 actually
they didnt give it 3rd gen thermals? werent they added to sepv3 later on?
apparently not
gen 2 vs gen 3 isn’t a huge difference anyways
it isnt that was kind of where i was getting at regardless, i think we should be asking for more nuance in thermals tbh
Of course.
And of course, this upper glacis plate is an excellent shot trap.
Ima stop you right there. It doesn’t matter how many a Gripen has. Pantsir SM SV shoots ALL of them down if the player isn’t braindead.
sample size
turn off consider camera vertical angle

No, it wouldn’t be.
I must presume you believe this because you’re not familiar with how to use the Armor Analysis Tool correctly, here’s an explanation below:
Spoiler
The upper glacis of the M1 (any variant) is immune to any APFSDS in the entire game, including an Object 292 at point blank range. The models that have received volumetric armour are also significantly better protected in the turret ring area to ricochets.
lets add f15EX and Abrams X then…
I believe they are still integrating gen 3 FLIR and the LWS. Originally it was slated for the SEPV4 but now that it was cancelled they’re planning on integrating it with the SEPV3s. No idea how far along they are with it tbh, there hasn’t been any updates beyond that it is planned.
It’s simply Russia lack skills, they drive around brainlessly and expect something more than just getting one shot from the front or the sides.
Just play better, but i guess Gaijin will do something about it since they always do.
T14 armata coming to your way.
I think everyone flocked to the US one first, and it’s only the very good players and a few whales spading it right now (reminder it’s locked behind a 800k rep grind), USA 12.7s also all got the new round while the UK one uses the same KE-W2 as China’s M1A2T.
Anyhow, I’d give it some time for stats to stabilize a bit. It looks like a very strong vehicle, but I’m not buying a bit of extra pen and the turret ring armor makes for a stronger vehicle than a 2A7/122.
Its just the inflated player numbers. Two new Abrams in just one update attracts thousands of players. Stats always go up if a vehicle is new and getting spammed by the whole community. Was exactly the same with Leopard top of the line additions. Went up to 70% during first weeks.
Wait couple of weeks and it will normalize.
The only thing I don’t really get is that US gets two top MBTs with one patch, while others like Germany get nothing since a decade or something. We got a low tier rank 2 SPG yay.
I’ve been saying this. The first few weeks of stats shouldn’t be considered as definitive proof due to the horde of skilled players spading it. Once they lose interest and return to their normal nations and playstyle stats can be considered. I’m sure by the end of the year we’ll see the 2A8 and other kinds of vehicles for the rest of the trees (provided they have something that can be reasonably added).
