I will say the most confident tank I have in killing will be an abrams.
Article mentions 45 tanks upgraded in july.
Same with top tier Russian imo. That’s why I’ve had heart aches by the number, grinding out the Italian tech tree to get that sweet 2a7HU.
As for Russia, I think if they made the T-80U (and newer) reload the correct 6.0 sec load time it would give me a reason to play them.
I usually just run my T-90M, but sometimes 1 life as the T80Bvm isn’t the greatest backup anymore being killed frontally by 2a7s with ease or being out loaded etc.
There’s really no reason to take the T80Bvm over the T90M other than speed. The reload being a 0.6 difference also means there’s not a point to it when everyone else out paces you by at least 1.5 secs as is (2.1 secs in the T90) so you have to take the most skillful shots, can’t be too aggressive, or your an easy kill.
thats a good idea, T-80 my favorite soviet tank
It just says announced in July. That article doesn’t appear to say first delivered date
Looking at more articles looks like fielding didn’t happen till 3rd quarter Fy 20. So some where early summer 2020.
But that contradicts other sources so. It’s entry date is a crap shoot.

Yup. That’s why I go by the 1st delivered plus 6 months. Usually gives a pretty fair assumption. But at least when I was still in, (2020) I had heard rumors we were just about to get our first SepV3s
Procurement is always a mess. God help you if you aren’t the poster boy unit too.

It would’ve been really neat to test them. But as Uncle Sam’s mislead children we never really got anything unless it’s 3-5 years old.
Not to mention they did away with tanks and stuck with LAVs :/

Rah. They were getting to heavy for the LCACs from what I was hearing anyway. Still think they should have took interest in the booker vs canning tanks.
yeah, i think they are focusing on infantry and light armored AT capability now in place of MBT right?

F-35 procurement ate up the budget.
yeah, it does look cool hovering at marine airshows though
does a good job at being loud too
Until you lose 1 in NC.
Well the commandant wanted to go in the way of drone warfare last I heard. Retasking a lot of the abrams crews to drone warfare.
Pretty much
I thought they all got reclassed to the ACV, LAV or handed over to the army?
I thought the F-35s would’ve been tested more. Pilots getting randomly ejected, random crashes. It’s what 8-9 down out of how many delivered ?
If they handed marines over to the army Willy nilly we all know there’d be a mass riot on base XD
From what I heard about some of the ejections they weren’t random. They were pilots over reacting. One of them was recently relieved of command cause of it.
