The REAL Abrams Problem

[MR_BOOMBASTICc]

Ok, so we’ve got to do something about the whole Abrams tank series and some other NATO tanks.
First of all, the Abrams is such a easy target to kill and its not a skill issue on my part.

I am going to use the “best” variant for today’s example which is the M1A2SEPV2 or just M1V2. The M1V2 has major weak spots compared to other tanks such as the T90 and Leopard tanks. The lower hull, turret ring, and gun mantle. Sure most tanks have similar weak spots but they are really hard to hit and can be easily covered up by bushes.

Secondly the Abrams is one of the only modern mbts to have its turret basket modeled in. So if you are hit in the turret ring and somehow survive, you cant even do anything to counter because your turret is fixed and your engine is dead.

And thirdly, the turret ring (again). The Abrams irl is designed to shatter apfsds rounds. But in game, it does not. So what’s up with that???

I got more info on the turret ring thanks to Profile - TBomb69 - War Thunder — official forum and Profile - Lolman345 - War Thunder — official forum and you can see their thread here: Abrams front glacis not shattering apfsds-t and turret ring inaccuracies.

So in conclusion, what I would like changed is to have ALL tanks to have fully modeled turret baskets and have the Abrams shatter apfsds rounds. That will require you to aim abit more carefully but that’s ok.
But what do you think?

Do you want all tanks to have its turret basket fully modeled like the Abrams?

• Yes
• No

Should the Abrams have its turret ring shatter certain apfsds rounds?

• Yes
• No

And with these changes, do you want the brs of the Abrams to go up?

• Yes (please specify)
• No

Thanks for your time.

Defending the T58 (The T58 problem)

Whats up gamers, Today we are going to talk about the new T58. First off, I bought this tank and played it many times. It is a really good tank but there are pros and cons to it. Pro’s: Insane reload, Insane gun pen, good turret rotation, and good armor and mobility for a heavy tank. Con’s: Bad gun elevation, really long replenish time, unreliable hull armor, bad reverse speed, big target, and no stab. How to balance this tank? I think that to be historically accurate ASPOSSIBLE it shoul…

Russian Bias in 2025?

Part 2 of “Russian Bias in 2024?” The newer updates are better in the sense of USA getting more spaa but the problem still hasn’t been solved

ps: why doesn’t the 30cal on the M1A2SEPV2 on the turret left of the remotely controlled 50cal work? Its modeled but doesn’t shoot?

The lack of turret basket for other tanks is something I really hope gaijin fixes in the future

more like your focusing only on the abram rather then on the whole game.
