GEd parts and FPE, researched the other modules that I’ve unlocked so far.
(probably could have achieved similar stats without it, but screw that. I’m not sacrificing my sanity for that theory).
To split the answer up in 3 parts:
Turret: I do feel it quite a bit. It feels like the mantlet is harder to hit if you move the turret around and there is no risk of a round like DM53 penning your cheek if it hits a lucky timing with a good angle.
Turret ring: Absolutely noticable. Being able to just push BMPTs while they can’t do much to you with their cannon is great. Sure they can still destroy your gun, but that takes more time.
Hull: Not super noticable that I can prove, but it has felt like the spalling is a bit less from hull shots by certain darts and in some lucky angles you get the uncommon bounce.
That one I noticed big time on the v2 Trophy. I didn’t realize just how cancer the BMPT was for the Abrams since I didn’t play much since it was added. Even with their nerfed accuracy, One micro burst is enough to destroy the turret basket of the non updated Abrams, another micro burst track you, and then you’re just condemned to die to turret ring.
v2 trophy(and thus v3 though I don’t have it yet) not instantly being crippled to this has been welcome.
The Abrams have just been incredible this update. Only “problems” I have had with them were M829A3 doing incorrect damage and the velocity taking some getting used to.
The first one got fixed a couple hours ago and the latter is something that will go away over time.
Hey… So, what are our thoughts on this? Does someone know more than this vague answer? Are they just making us pay/grind for the new Abrams’ without the others being improved?
I believe the new 30mm gun is so that they can shoot fpv drones with time fuse shells as an alternative to more expensive missiles. Sort of similar to that one 30mm gun mounted on the Humber for anti drone use
Russian teams are pretty terrible right now. Plenty of times I’ve gotten finally to my first death and 2/3 of our team has died 2 times and left the game.
me personally i find that the m10 booker performs better at top tier as my light tank than the hstvl so try that in it cant say much about the nasams tho since i havent used it
according to some sources the javelin isnt going into the final version of the m1e3 the army just slapped it on it to display its roof mounting capabilities
1- SEP and SEPv2 are still missing their 250% CE increase (from M1A2) in the turret.
2- SEPv3’s side turret CE is still lower than even SEP and SEPv2’s should be.
3- Obviously, SEPv3’s hull still doesn’t even reach the effectiveness from the proposed 1990s package, which would be the bare minimum logical value.
4- The 25mm thick fuel tank bulkheads were nerfed to be just 9mm thick for no particular reason at all.
5- The fuel tank bulkheads are still missing their frontal, top and outer side plates.
6- M1A2 SEPv2 and M1A2 SEP still not having upgraded volumetrics and modules even though they are geometrically identical to M1A2 SEPv2 Trophy, which is updated, which means it would be a matter of copy-pasting to solve.
