The standards to revise M1A2 SEPv3's armor NEED to be revised and calibrated

This is literally the problem with every t series tank in the game

This is one of the first iteration of the dev server. Many things are currently on the devs server. Also I saw a shot go underneath the ERA at long range and hit the armor alone. Which most shells with good enough pen can do already to the T-80U?

Even in this video he uses Coded shells to go through Relikt. So again. The aforementioned points still stand. Look at the cards below showing HEAT shells (means it’s a user mission using user made shells)…

The best way to determine how much armor was added to the LFP array on the SEP v3 is to subtract the weight of the engine, turret, and added RHA to the turret. That just leaves you with the hull, which if you know the v2’s weight would make it easy to determine the weight of the new armor. I’ve gotten a rough analysis just using publicly known density and some very rough measurements. If anyone can get good measurements of the hull width (without skirts or tracks) and the height just inside that armor array you could make a very good case to Gaijin about what armor could realistically be in there.

Yes, we can repeat the previous wave of negative reviews on Steam to force them to make a compromise

Just report him. This thread is for the armor and not the shells.

Also, probably not worth the effort. I dont think any of us are going to achieve the dopamine hit of getting him to admit he was wrong or dishonest.

I mentioned this previously in another thread, but the only way to achieve it is get the community as a whole to rally.

So the scope needs to be over all armor fixes and overhaul for the other nations.

These gixes would result in BR changes, but I think it would be a step in the right direction.

The problem is, there is other weight changes that aren’t tied to what you mentioned. For example, the FCS. It was changed from copper to fibre optic at one point and saved about 4? tons.

Honestly? Even though the mobility hit is 100% noticeable, I still rank SEPv3 post weight change similarly with 2A7. The pros of Abrams went beyond just the mobility (reload/.50/ammo stowage/gun angles/ess/utility/etc) and SEPv3 does not remove those.

That was my point the other day, they did all sorts of weight savings things and the weight still increased.

Which means there was A LOT of very dense materials added for protection. Obviously not all in the front armor compartment - but some of that had to include at least spme changes there.

Fair point.

Its the dev server, its unfinished, there is not much point in complaining about M829A3’s implementation until it has made it to live server.

It’s more than likely DU, but in order to determine that you need to know the weight of the added RHA on the turret and every other change made on the inside (including the new electric turret drive). Once all of that is estimated/known, you can then determine how much DU was added to the turret and LFP.

Except even in live server right now US excels at most categories.
Abrams is the best or tied for best at every BR its at.
IPM1/M1A1/M1A1 HC+ are blatantly undertiered.
They also has the best top tier light by far through HSTV-L, and tied for first LDIRCM Heli.
The SPAA/fixed wing CAS is kinda bleh, thats agreeable.

Even after unlocking every single nation’s top tier tanks, I always come back to the Abrams because they’re not stale, though that is personal preference.

I’m not even gonna elaborate on that, I’ve NEVER survived a LMUR, whereas you can see obnoxious clips of BMPTs surviving entire loadouts of AGM-179s.

Saying its tied for the best LDIRCM heli is a bad joke, when at best they’re paired in their protection system. In offense, the Mi-28 objectively clears it. I’d even argue the Z-10ME is the true peer to the AH-64E, while the Mi-28 holds alone the title of being the best…

…back on topic.

I don’t fully disagree. I’m not saying that the SEPv3 will be worse than the 2A7 by any significant amount (I would even be fine with calling them sidegrades).

However the SEPv1 being better than the SEPv3 currently on the dev is pretty undebatable if you ask me.

Clearly, there’s no comparison between the MUR and the AGM-179S.
I’ve already had BMPTs that withstood four of my missiles.

Btw this is very recent, I just noticed yesterday that they added the “volunteer” title, they used to be all “bug reporting managers”. And we don’t know for sure if they are paid anyways, so who’s to say they are employees as well? But I might be wrong, don’t take my word for it.

And as for the report, again, i was highlighting the passive-agressive response. The report might be missing informations, thats why they have tags such as “response needed” or “not enough info”. Besides, this is the exact same type of response actual good reports gets.
We can both acknowledge that they don’t care about these reports, no matter what source you bring, to the point where only classified files would do, which then won’t be accepted and get you banned forever.

It’s a classic Russian bot. Just look at his nickname.
