The new Abrams is too OP

And you say thats a recent phenomenon? Because then theres a good chance that its this change from the last major.


And maybe im having a Mandela effect right now but that bottom metal plate behind the driver wasnt there before, was it? (or at least the plates around the fuel tanks were less elaborate)

Spoiler

Because if it wasnt then that part would explain a lot why less spall seems to be hitting the actual internal modules and especially the basket bottom.

Trophy/M1A1/v3 got this in heavy cavalry, they just applied to every Abrams’ now afaik.

Volumetric on the first 3, bad placement on the last one.

Shoot closer to the roof/ring on normal T-Tanks. Obj 292 is a odd duck that doesn’t constrain to the normal T-Tank geometries, so you have to shoot to the left or right of the mantle due to its high angles.

also fuel tanks in the front are just kinda retardedly good at eating spall lately, for both abrams and t series



another cool barrel shot


look at these cool af sideshots at t series with k5 or relikt bolted onto their sides, super realistic apfsds represantation

Oh, and before anyone misunderstands me, i am not claiming t series OPness or anything, frankly, i’ve had abrams, both mine and enemy, tank the shots with the fucking fuel tank, i think there is genuinely smth wrong with shit like fuel tanks, and carousel, just eating the spall, and well, volumetric needs to die

It definitely needs a rework

okay and how the fact that “volumetric on first 3” help me exactly ?
i don’t think i “should” shoot somewhere optimal when it comes to barrel/breach, when it comes to 600+ fucking mm of pen, i should just be able to breach as easy as breathing

I hate that people have to specify this nowadays

Okay, idk what to tell you, volumetric needed a rework 6 years ago…

It should have killed the barrels for those first three shots ngl but well
Volumetric + angle means game thinks it’s a ricochet

i will say this tho, their side era, be it relikt or k5, whether they have spall liners or not, really shouldn’t be able to do this, regardless of the angle, i aint buying this specific scenario, of which i only have 1 vid, but trust me, it happened oh so many times…


i even sometimes had a full side on t90m eat my apfsds, due to relikt + spall liner, only like killing commander, no gunner, no breach, no carousel, no nothing, just commander, full side on
I feel like gaijin doesnt really understand how much hurt apfsds should realistically do, once it pens
AGAIN, doesn’t make a t90m a good tank or smth like t72, but jesus chrsit what the fuck ???

At the very least nato tanks more often than not don’t have such bs happening with their side armour, tho again, fuel tanks can be hella weird

I could like, try to find more of said situations on my replays, but tbh, its not like it will lead to anything, im just venting

p.s. if you rewatch the 292 one, you will also notice how in that very same match, my fucking leopard 2a6, lived through TWO WHOLE ASS KH38(or whatever they are called), directly onto my side, first missle didn’t even do shit, just painted me in dirt, i don’t really know, man
the game just refuses to work at times, and we got crazy bullshit happening, its so bizarre to me, the game should just fucking FUNCTION properly ffs, im genuinely curious what could have possibly happened and why would 2 massive AT rockets from the gay gods in the sky, just did nothing to me

gaijin giveth and gaijin taketh

Must have been the fabled British bias.

Same players that were mocking USA players claiming “Abrams isn’t the problem, players are” now crying that USA players are overperforming with the new Abrams that isn’t completely gimped to the ground…

The players are the same tough… they just needed an unkillable tank lol

Or it’s that the Abrams has always been a great tank, and the buffs elevated it even further.

SEP V3 is unkillable now? Literally the most spall generating tank in the game, disabled with a single shot 90% of the time.

Going to need some evidence for that statement.

I think you’ll be waiting for a long time for said evidence.

Middle of LFP, with one of the best top tier rounds, driver gunner engine.
You then get slapped by a 120mm M829A3 APFSDS-T round.

Not when you are attacking vertically , SPAAs will be able to do nothing against the carrier or the bombs.

Kh-38 is by no means bad for CAS , but SPICE is orders of magnitude more potent for CAS provided one know how to use it .

Which is extremely situational by itself.

Which is how it should be played … don’t see what you are trying to argue here .
Notice the guy wasn’t even vertical on top of enemy spawn and descended too low at the end of the run which is why he got smacked.

Me when 85-90° radar elevation and slight incline 😏
