Why are you pretending to patronize here as if everyone here has less than 5000 games in GRB?
This arrogance is vastly unnecessary and not even helpful to the actual off-topic itself.
Premium 80U basically has better thermals and UFP armor.
Everything else is either similar or clearly better on 12.0 M1s.

For this it only loses out on armor protection; and its not like T-80U is boasting insane armor.
Not to be disrespectful, but this is just a lmao statement. HC beats 80UE1 in every single way, and the armor difference is not even that big.
Roof on 80U is a bit too highlighted, but you get my point.
Neither of these tanks are bad, Leclerc is a top 5 12.7, while Merkava is a top 3.

I was being genuine. I dont know what else to say besides “dont let someone rush a corner and shoot you, shoot them first”? What do you want me to say?

I’ve bounce off lfp of T-80Us with DM-53 and haven’t had the same issue with Abrams.
Anyways this has nothing to do with the fact that the M1A2C has improved hull KE protection.

And I haveplentymore, but forums only allow 5 files at a time.
You are right. I will stop here. Soooo… whats the current situation on the bug reports?

Either they’ve been outright denied or closed for more information. Aside from rough calculations there’s nothing else that can be given that isn’t classified.
i mean, all 12.0 abrams are indeed undertier… but what this is relevant for sep v3 hull upgrade?
It wasn’t relevant but topics like these go off the rails every time performance gets brought up.

Problem was at release its low BR meant its side armor ate shells like crazy and it could rip everything at or bellow its br.
US at 10.3 was all light vehicles except the m60 abrams baby.
Anything bellow that didnt have the armor to stop the bmpt or the rounds to deal with it in any menaingful manner.
Is your crew spaded?
I have this happen once in a while, but I feel like my basket gets knocked every time so I cant shoot back anyway.
It doesnt affect module (basket) health. But yea my tank was experted and spaded.
Huh, interesting.
Shots for me seem to just blow my basket and engine so I quietly cry for 7 seconds before I get killed.
We’re still tweaking it, there is no rush

Happens with all vehicles every now and then, it’s just disingenuous to say it’s only Soviet/Russian tanks.

I sure hope not. Casually betraying your country over a dopamine hit is pretty cowardly.

Yeah. Exactly.
Also we are actually in the middle of ww3 even though general folks don’t seem to realize it.
My comment is definitely getting removed for that. But don’t be the guy who sells out over temporary pleasure. Our politicians have done that enough.
