He is right though, the US has far too many top tier tanks to get a 2A7/122 counterpart. Sweden having 3 122s is the problem, its insanely stupid.
US has:
M1A1 HC
M1A2
M1A2 SEP
M1A2 SEP V2
M1A1 AIM
M1A1 CB
M1A1 CB (SM)
And they don’t lack any supporting vehicles, they have the best top tier light tank (HSTV-L), a meta heli (AH-64E), a good SPAA in the CLAWS, and pretty decent CASCraft.
And I can’t really get any other CAS plane bc I suck at ARB with Missiles and my attacker and bomber line is at rank 4 and Naval and F15 line is at rank 6 “getting F100 soon”.
That doesn’t matter since none of them are 2a7/122 counterparts lol and are all basically the same tank. That’s like saying we shouldn’t add a Rafale counterpart because there are too many F-15s in the US tree.
When compared to the other two 12.0 pack premiums:
abrams outreloads it, has better pen, arguably better armor and similiar mobility.
T-80U-E1 has much better armor. And, sure, it has worse sabot but its not like it takes much to pen NATO tank hulls these days
prolly bunch of other differences like thermals and smoke pops i cant name from top of my bead as im not at PC right now.
But allright, even if abrams is better and T-80 arguably has some advantages over it, it wouldnt be that big of a problem, someone has to pull the short end of the stick eventually.
But then you look at the 12.0 german lineup and realize the other 12.0 vehicle you can put to your lineup is the other premium 2A4M.
So whats there left to do? Move it down?
Eehhhh, with chally 2s and Arietes being there…
Id like to see it bumped up to 12.3 while recieving better shell.
honestly the abrams are fine where they are, the only ones that I really feel has a problem is the sep and sepv2 being 12.7 despite being near identical to the m1a2 at 12.0
M1A2 SEPV2-3 with the trophy system both have LWS and APS. Trophy sytem uses both Radar and laser detection to warn of and counter munitions. And if they ever add the CATTB it also had a vehicle integrated defense system (VIDS) aka LWS. Plus all the armor and a turret bustle autoloaded 140mm.
Also I would kill for either the 30mm AMPV with javelins or the M2A4E1 which is just a bradley with trophy and an upgraded engine/transmission
