The XM1 (GM) Returns for Operation Desert Storm’s Anniversary!

On January 17th, 1991, the international coalition launched Operation Desert Storm, a response to Iraq’s occupation of Kuwait.

In just four days, they achieved a ceasefire and the withdrawal of Iraqi troops from Kuwait. This operation saw M1 Abrams main battle tanks undergo their baptism of fire, demonstrating their superiority on the battlefield.

A completely unrelated Abrams prototype gets a discount for Operation Desert Storm but Challenger Mk 3 Desert Storm doesn’t?

Interesting choice

Sadly very true, sub 300mm pen, hughe in size … not really ideal at 9.3

Always wanted this baby Obroms, but the fire power looks a bit 🐶 💦 bro like half the 9.3s were slinging the dm63.

So is this thing any good bro?

Pay over 40 euros for this…umm no.

I actually wanted the other one because of the engine sound lol too bad its Xbox exclusive. There must be a way…

On its return will you finally be reverting the nerf to the apfsds pen as it was changed due to an admitted miscalculation?

Incidentally, the Challanger ‘DS’ (Desert Storm) should be ‘OG’ (Operation Granby). Not everything is American… I enjoyed it as a young lance-jack :)

IIRC the Chrysler prototipe is 9.0 but is Xbox exclusive.

I think this is less to do with desert storm and more to do with promoting the return of a premium vehicle now available for GE sadly.

Disclaimer “player experiences may vary” XD

its very fast

Can beat the mbt70/kpz70?

better max speed than the mbt, about the same acceleration (at least it feels like it)

Really?
Sales after sales and still ZERO (0) news about BR decompression and balancing.
Y’all out of funds for that or something?

please dont put mbt70 and kpz70 on the same level… one is okayisch (kpz70 with 6 sec reload), the other is trash (mbt70)with 7.5sec reload (one of the longest reload of any MBT).

AND NO, i dont know why the hell the excakt same vehicle has different autoloader speeds…

XM1 is as good as KPZ-70 roughly (which is not very good), but MBT 70 is just bad.
