Turret ring is such a sweet spot to kill it with one shot. Playing top tier Russia right now and even 3BM-42 has no problem to OHK any M1 via this spot. With long rods like 3bm-46 or 60 any shot in the 90° arc from the front is a kill shot. Amount of spalling after penetrating side or fuel tanks is so huge that it looks like a APHE exploding inside.

I definitely agree, I’m a USA main and played top tier USA a lot but switching to playing ussr and by far the Abram’s cannot take a hit. Playing the T80 I can bounce shots or take shots that have minimal effect and feel confident playing aggressive. But the Abram’s is take a shot die or get critically injured. I missed my shot to the neck of a SEP hit the ufp and still killed him. Yes there are other tanks with worse armor but for minor nations it’s not going to have a huge effect on a match. Specially when half your team are Abram’s and gets one shot.
I meant to reply to you.
What are on about the sound we had for the challenger was a chieftain
now is correct

US Top tier do certanly suffers now /s
As a side note, not only the M1’s got changed, but others as well, now after a certain distance, you hear only the tracks, which is to be truthfuly honest, a good change.

What is your problem?
The thing that gets me is that in the big repot they have acknowledged the fact that the turret ring is too weak and should be 250 mm and that the Abram’s do have a Kevlar liner is they implemented that without changing the armor that should help but they haven’t don’t anything yet.

Yes and it’s historical, still I found Abrams relatively weak when my frustration levels catched up and passed Voyager 2 at this point while granding out SEPv1. Only good vibes I got was in M1A1 when 11.0 got to play downtier 90% of times, was such a pleasure to cripple any tank that I saw in my scope with M829A1.
Just curious here, can you hear cars 80 meters away while inside your own car with its engine running? Now imagine yourself inside the tank with thick metal walls all around you. I know I’m deaf so I might don’t understand how the sound works, but I do question how you are able to hear tanks dozens of meters away over the sound of your tank very well to the point where you can find enemies with such precision.
Please educate me on how the sound works and how well you can hear in real life. I would love to learn one or two things about the sound so I can sneak better in the game. I used to be able to sneak around and ambush enemies, but lately I have been unable to sneak around. Hopefully the changes to the sound might make it possible again.

Its a video game and 3rd person is where players spend most of their playtime. Imagine trying to justify the broken directional sound in a videogame…holly smokes. By ur realism standards then Tell me, can you hear other cars when you stick your head out the window,…buddy
Sometimes think before posting such a long and ridiculous comment.
Got similiar experience in yesterday except you forgot to mention only couple Abrams can be found on allied Side on these days.
The reason you managed to get those results its because of overall team performance and different vehicles not because Abrams became an insane tank.
İt still can get one shot easily, its still missing armor and spall liners and worst thing is TUSK kit is still not an option for SEP V2.
Just because other nations suffers (Which in this case my personal favourite, France) doesnt mean Abrams should also suffer.
All of them should receive their well deserved historical buffs.
Play an Ariete or some other minor nation MBT for once, instead of the big three.
Have 0 desires to, and Ariete is rarely seen, I can’t even talk about it because I haven’t shoot to it in months
then you can’t judge which tank is the easiest to one-shot in toptier.
These changes broke something, now I can’t hear nothing, can’t tell the difference between moving and still enemies.

Huh you still can’t read properly. I said from my experience that along tanks I see and shoot at M1 is easiest to OHK. It so hard to understand or what?
Holly smokes, you must be really fun at parties. Thank you for criticizing my disability instead of educating me properly as I asked.

Cant hear shit out of a tank IRL, even with head out, the engine would need to be off or idling at best
Perfect patch to me

You made the AMX-30 sound like a chieftain, look what you have done!
So directional sound that existed in the game for years was actually a mistake that got corrected now…aha, i got you. Good job Gaijin for fixing the sound system and removing directional sound, cause noone can hear a maus from over 80 meters…
