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. The operation began with a large-scale bombing campaign targeting Iraqi air defenses and infrastructure, until February 24th, when ground forces were deployed. 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?

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.

Can beat the mbt70/kpz70?

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

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.

I think the autoloader is correct. I’m pretty sure the Americans and Germans put different ones in

Its very good. Only downside is that sometimes M735 will mess you up, but otherwise this thing has the best mobility in its entire BR bracket, nothing beats it.

All 3 are insanely good tanks, they are the top 3 9.3s.
