If anything the arietes needs a reload buff first. Merkava 3/4 should also have their reload standardized with other NATO120s.
leclerc = OFL 120 F1/6s
M1A2/SEP/SEPv2 = M829A2/5s
lol
Which would be?

Don’t forget the fact they dismissed a 10+3 sources report by a single values on a book that didn’t talked about the reload minimally beside that ( im re-reading for the third time the book right now, and it does not legitly talk about it excluding for the part they sent )

Look on the forum there is already plenty of threads about this. there is no need to start a new one.
600 KE is not very realistic imo

I also hope the Abrams buff in rate of fire is not a move to dismiss the long overdue armor fixes that have been being reported since their introduction and dev servers…
Really. What things like SEP and SEPv2 really need is not to have the same armor as the baseline 10.3 M1.

This is what I fear most. And I think it is about to become a reality.

I still don’t understand why MAGIC-II are far more easy to flare off, compared to R-73E since both got the same IRCCM values.
Maybe their “addressing dev blog” about the Abrams hull armor will be basically a “we won’t change it” statement and the reload buff was a preemptive band-aid to try to lessen the punch? I hope not, but so it would seem…
That would mean that the gear change that Cr2 got just now is the fix it will be getting, everything else not a bug.
Come on. You know it is deep down.
Apparently you are looking into my brain. Scary. Be that as it may, if that happens I will melt into mush and disappear.
The M1A1 and M1A2 variants all use the same 120mm smoothbore gun as the Leopard.
Wikipedia:
About 5,000 M1A1 Abrams tanks were produced from 1986 to 1992 and featured the M256 120 mm (4.7 in) smoothbore cannon developed by Rheinmetall AG of Germany for the Leopard 2, improved armor, consisting of depleted uranium and other classified materials, and a CBRN protection system.
Therefore the same reload time should also apply to Leopards and STRVs where exactly the same gun and loading system is being used.

Well thats just an opinion and isnt supported by all the facts that have been provided.
In statcard abrams reload is still wrong,
In crew abrams reload is correct,
In game abrams still reloads 6.3 second on maxed crew with expert, instead of 5.3 which should have been if the reload truely was changed.

- They are not the same gun. There is big difference in recoil. They are from same family
- There is big difference in space inside M1 and Leo 2 turret because simply M1 turret is much larger
