I know this issue gets talked about a lot, but it does need to be addressed. Once you hit 10.7 the issue arises. the m1a2s are worse in every way compared to almost every tank besides speed and firepower but even then, lots of tanks at 11.7 are near the same firepower as the m1s and on the speed side of things yea I may be faster than most tanks but isn’t going to matter when I get killed because my armor is nonexistent. all the 11.7 m1s do not need to be facing t80s and t90s the t90s/t80s are better in every way besides the fact they can’t reverse. this is further proved by the pictures below. there needs to be some sort of BR decompression when it comes to these tanks. the picture below is of the best round the m1s get vs the top tier China MBT. ⬇
619mm of penetration from 500 meters cannot pen nearly anywhere on the tank, besides the lower front plate Aswell as the driver’s port.⬇
Please keep in mind the 3BM60 is a worse round compared to Chinas TopTier round. 567mm of penetration from 500 meters and the whole tank is green in the photo it doesn’t look that way but it’s because of a bug.⬇
And even has I go to the Russian MBT this issue is apparent, so I’m confused why these two tanks are able to face each other. whenever I tend to play russia/china I tend to tank an insane number of shots when playing against USA and the number of times my auto loader gets killed from an m1 shooting my lower plate is insane, but I tend not to care since for some reason I don’t die from it. all of this stuff leads to insanely low win rates for USA. I went from 6.0 China to 11.7 in 2 WEEKS simply because of how much I’ve won in my games while when playing USA something that I got in 2 days playing China takes me 5-10 days of almost nonstop playing to get.⬇
for example, in my m1a1 aim I’ve played nearly 900 matches with a horrendous 33%-win rate, but I do have some things that could help this issue to help players like me enjoy the game more. ⬇

Fixes that could be implemented:
Fix pixel angles on the t80s/t90s that cause there to be an absurd amount of pen needed for a drivers hatch shot; this issue is NOT only on the bvm this issue can go all the way back to the object 292 from what I’ve experienced.
DM53 says at an angle of 81 degrees it will bounce and although most of the time it does tend to bounce it still winds of crippling the tank because it still pens the m1.
One last thing I can think of is adding in a newer model of the m1 (m1a2 sep v3) or giving the tanks a DU Hull for balance most people say it’s the neck of and yes it big, but I don’t tend to get shot there much since people know they can shoot Anywhere and kill me.
NOTES:
- a lot of players say the issue is the players and I can confirm its not if the issue was the players, you would see Russia start to suffer after the edition of the Т-80U-Е1 even after this got added the win rates are nearing the low 70%
-
In order for USA to be “balanced” the win rates need to be near 50% not near the low 20% or mid 30%
-
Im not saying that USA has to be the powerhouse of land.navy,air but the only thing going for the USA is air but that only in AIR RB. if you spawn in an f16/f15 or any aircraft for that matter you will get shot down within 30sec because of a Pantsir-S1 unless you hit the deck and risk hitting a mountain/ tree. there is a VERY EASY way to fix this stop making spaa so God Damm cheap if I’m going to spend 900sp to get into an f16 with agms I want to not get shot down by little Timmy with his Cheeto fingers that dies 2 times in his t80bvm just to hop in an AA that CAN SHOOT YOU DOWN FROM UR AIRFIELD on some maps…
