So L27A1, the actually weakest shell at top tier, on a tank with one of the worst sustained fire rates at top tier, is fine?
But the A2 rounds (second highest pen) with the fastest reload and best sustained rate of fire at top tier isnt?
and why is the Abrams suffering so much, no one has actually given me a reason for why its apparently DOA, when by all accounts, its one of the best top tier MBTs in the game?
Look I get it, you dont actually have a good answer and so you swap to attacking me.
Gaijin bothched the model of the Abrams and the bug fix should be implemented and that goes for any MBT that they screwed up Idk why you keep bringing up special treatment, you’re the one arguing against it because it would buff it.
Saying US mains are just bad when (no offense), but you don’t really have the greatest stats yourself, plus you don’t own anything really outside of UK so like I said you don’t have any credible merit.
Then tell that to OP who is asking for the Sep V3 or V4 with A4 rounds being added before anyone else even gets an equal to the M1A2. Probably also wants it to be a lower BR
Honestly all the 12.0 Abrams are weird since most of their counterparts are 12.3.
I would have somewhat understood it if they kept the M1A1 HCs at 12.0 if they still had M829A1 instead of M829A2 to create a sense of progression, but as it currently is it’s just weird.
It at least has equal firepower if not better firepower and superior mobility.
Sure it doesnt match it in survivability. But 2/3 is better than most nations, and it doesn’t just match it in those 2 points, its potentially better at the moment, most are maybe 1/3, a few can be argued to be at 0/3
It’s absolutely not better at the moment. Pretty much the only thing that the majority of the top tier playerbase is agreeing upon is that the 2A7s/122s have been easily the best top tier MBTs for the last 2 years.
Firepower. A2 with 5 second reload vs DM53/L55 with 6 second reload. Debate to be had which is better. Id lean towards the reload advantage
Mobility. Abrams is around 68 kph? vs 61/62 for the Leoaprd 2A7, whilst also having a higher HPT, unless im missing something, that gives the Abrams better mobility too.
ill just chip in and say that while the vehicles themselves might have stayed the same, the T-80 autoloader buff changed the dynamic a bit. 2A7s/122s cant outreload it now even wiht ace crew.
I would argue that it was only a significant change for the T-80Us, since the BVM with 3BM60 still has a 6.4 second reload. that 0.1 second reload advantage that the Leo 2s had in the past with an expert crew wasn’t a very significant one.
