sadly not, first gen for strv (except for commander)
turning is an option, unless they take your engine with it
well anyways, nice having a talk w you abt the balance. getting late now for me, have a good night or day wherever u are man! and i def see ur side of the argument, dw. would be really nice for the Abrahams to actually receive some buffs too
I read ppl saying it’s quick all the time, they must have a different Type 10 than I do. I think people assume it’s the same as the Type 90, but you feel the loss of 300bhp between the engines and it’s a lot less responsive.
It’s quick, but it doesn’t have the accel of even Leopard 2K tho it should exceed it.
damn. Then again, I mostly use Commander Sights anyway.
Turret Ring shots almost always take your engine. It sucks.
If I were to buff the Abrams, I’d do the following.
Allow the SEP V2 to remove the ERA package and add an optional upgrade similar to the T-80B with Thermals to add the DU hull plate.
Decompress the 11.7 Tanks by implementing up to 13.0 as a ground battle rating. This way the 2A5 isn’t the same BR as the 2A7 for example.
Give the SEP V2 M829A3 to counter Russian ERA. When the SEP V3 comes in, give it M829A4 as well.
Give the Abrams an upgrade for Flak Vests similar to aircraft and decrease spalling generated by the armor since we know it’s lower than presented in-game.
Those are four ways I believe the Abrams could be reliably buffed into being a good vehicle.
You’re just playing the underdog in this conversation because your nation was mentioned as one of the babysitted by the current statu quo.
You’re not worried about the Merkavas/Abrams getting fixed at all, proof of which is how you’re simply against it with no meaningful points but rather to force the rest to look it as a challenge and play defensively in the current combined arms hell, same bs argument drawn for many when the F-15A came.
A poorly designed vehicle is not a challenge.
I haven’t unlocked it, but it might be your Commander Leadership. It tends to make the Leopards feel sluggish if it’s not maxed.
All my top tier crews are maxed out on Driving/Leadership w/ Expert Qualification
It’s not a bad tank; the autoloader/LWS and Gen 3 Thermal set are neat but the protection, speed and the rest of the top tier lineup are a bit of a disappointment.
Yeah, I’m just collecting Top Tier tanks.
this is silly- merkavas can’t even pen the ufps of equivalent t series tanks and for what? it has the longest top tier reload, no armor, is a giant target, and darts spall and kill the entire crew in the most comical ways. merkava players always need to put in double the effort of whoever theyre facing. the merkava mk3
cant even pen the ufp of a t-80d which is a whole br down
Agree with most of your points, but the top tier Chinese MBTs have the longest reload rate with 7.1sec static from auto loader. I believe T-90M has same auto loader time, but I do not have that.
Again though, the absolute rubbish of how Merkava armor is modeled and performs in game needs to be fixed. The engine is just there to make more spall….it rarely stops anything. I would love to play those tanks, but it is so unfair it is hard to have fun.
Just shot the object 292 barrel 5 times with the HSTV-L didn’t do shit to it, and carried on by aiming at the side of hull, my shells goes in through the ammo and disapear somehow, copium made tank really no bs here.
