IIRC it should be 25mm

yeah but then again russia also got a new tank so players are flocking to it to
Not only that but some good players are coming back to the US tree due to novelty. I consider myself a pretty good player at WT compared to the average dude I meet in game and the new US additions brought me back to the game and the tree.
(I only have US and ISR to top tier, never had the time or motivation to grind another tree fully)

I mean it’s what happens when new things are released it brings back the playerrs to it, TBh as well a lot of the negativity spread on here and reddit etc over very small things (not talking about Lmurs or that) But more about the marginal speed differences etc pushes a lot of hte players with thosuands of hours away from teh game.
I myself have found that when I use the abrams, without being on teh forum to talk about htem I 1 do better and 2 enjoy them a lot more.
I hope these newer additions allow people to enjoy the abrams as it is in game, a highly mobile high firepower platform.
I have 9 out of hte 10 trees at 11.7 in ground or higher. (all apart from sweden), and USA is one I tend to gravitate back to quite a lot TBH, It’s got such a nice mix of vehicles at various BRs, at top tier it’s got a nice mix of CAS, not the strongest obviously due to the Su30s and such, but definitely good.
As well as multiple good mobile MBTs.
Also yes.

It was already too thin before… It was one 19mm wall when it should have been two 25mm walls.
Now they made it one 9mm wall. You can’t make this sh*t up…

wow, that makes literally no sense though xD are they gonna say it’s nearly 2x thinner cause of the hull armou rincrease?

They nerfed all Abrams with that… Even those that didn’t receive the new volumetric hull. I’d rather stop here or I’ll be muted by mods for my language.
PS: One of the only positive thing we got is that they FINALLY added the missing side turret armor on the SEP v3. It has ~680mm HEAT protection instead of 300mm

This ^. It should be on all SEP though, but at least the v3 got it.

Man that sucks. Kinda dirt ball, could it be intentional to sow division between the US mains and other nations player bases?
Fun fact, in the kill cams everyobe using A3 is seeing the game reporting the A2 shell in the text kill feed. So there may be some issues.
May be some issues is an understatment when jt comes to gaijin.
im just happy with the turret being modeled correctly, even the x ray of the turret composites look so much beefier on the SEPv3
I have the sepv3 now, but im not gonna buy or crew it for a little while tbh, theres nothing special about it and its just slower so why take it lol

I wonder when they will carry over the changes fully from M1A1 as half of the Abrams are unfinished
Maybe few years from now
idk if this is accurate or a gaijin mistake but this means m1a1 is the best US tank rn

It seems like the few mm of improved KE are a product of the volumetric change
Which means that they didn’t give SEPv3 its dedicated improvement, only the indirect one from the volumetric hull…?

Trophy SEPv2 also got the volumetric hull though and it isnt improved i think?
