I thought that it looked a bit too big to be just a hydraulic pump
agreed
Abrams have better mobility, APFSDS rounds, gun depression, and reverse speed, so it sounds like a skill issue.

In what ways is;
M774 better than 3BM42 (M1 vs T-80B)
M900 better than 3BM46 (M1IP vs T-80U)
It’s only with the move to the 120mm gun (M829 & up), does ammo become superior, and even then 3BM60 is available at far lower BR’s, and said tanks retain much better armor layouts and ERA options, as well as generally being able to fight against relatively worse armor.
Also a general immunity to expected / common CE threats is also nice to have at a BR.

Armor doesn’t matter if anything can lol pen you from the front.

At what range does M774 have an easy time against the frontal amour of a T-80B?
Just shoot the LFP. even rank5 can one shot it from the front.

Insane cherry pick, there are 120mm abrams with m829a2 at the same br

Which one has M829A2 at 11.3?
the M1HC is 11.7
M1A1 only has M829A1, and is 11.3
also the T-90 gets 3BM60 at 11.0
And M829A1 vs 3BM60 is far less of a difference than M774 vs 3BM42 no matter which way you slice it.
Also it’s not like it cares much about the M1’s armor schema, since even with the improved turret of later variants the GLATGMs still make short work of it let alone 3OF26 to the “Doghouse”, or Commander’s MG station / CROWS.

And how many 11.3 vehicles are there in game, a tiny number, let alone only those in Tech trees (US has 2, Japan has 4, Italy has 1, Israel has 2)? You really won’t find many full downtiers at 11.3 due to such a low population so the comparison to 11.7s is realistic since it’s a near certainty that they will be a common encounter.
That must be why I’ve seen so many complaints about the Type 90 Fuji lately
As tripod2008 already point out that Gaijin internal model are wrong as irl Abrams hydraulic pump are next to the engine not in crew compartment like in game atm. Even with bug report accepted. It still take Gaijin long time to adjust (too long in some cases)
That is the reservoir and the system should be able to operate without the reservoir for quite a bit, even down to a few quarts of fluid before it just gives out. Gaijin doesn’t know what they’re doing and almost all systems for tanks including the physics are so flawed and marred that it isn’t worth looking at.

The auxiliary hydraulic pump is under the turret, the main is in the engine compartment. You would need to destroy both to stop hydraulic pressure from being built. Even if the reservoir was leaking or had a hole in it, hydraulic pressure could be built in the system. To drain fluid into the reservoir you need to open a valve that allows the fluid to escape from the main turret lines into the reservoir.
Long story short, breaking that part should not make you lose turret hydraulics and even if you did, you can spin an Abrams turret much faster than the in-game manual rotation turns.

Then fixing that should be a decent buff to all M1s. I hope it’ll finally help with those 30% WRs lol.

That thing is one of the casualties of BR compression. It has no reason to be just 0.3 below M1A1.
When was the last time you played those BRs ?
10.3 and 11.3 seem to be the sweetspots for getting downtiers.
Same as 2A7,Strvs,TKX…etc
Not the best but 3bm60 still better when it comes to spalling more.
Doesn’t matter when your horizontal and engine are disabled.
Brain dead thing to say honestly, i bet you play Russia.

Armor does matter buddy, in case you did not notice Swedish WR are the best somehow because of their splendid reload and not for their godly armor.
It absolutely does matter, that’s why the Leopards are massive pains to deal with, especially the 2a7’s. The ERA on T-series tanks give you the benefit of tanking at least one misplaced shot whereas the Abrams is a center mass shot to easily disable it.
