War Thunder being a competitive game based on balance and gameplay experience as you said completely removes total accuracy as the main goal of the game, you can’t make the game accurate and at the same time make the game balanced for everyone.
The practical scenario is very subjective, Abrams not surviving a shot while a T-90 or a T-80 does depends on what is shooting at it and where. A good shot placed in any vehicle can be considered a heavy damage or completely destruction of the vehicle, your perspective of view is very biased in a way that specifically soviet T-80 and T-90 seems to be this unicorn that no one has enough knowledge to destroy in one shot, which any good player can do that with ease.
StatShark does show a discrepancy of winrate between vehicle and it’s more than clear when comparin M1A2 Abrams SepV2 to a T-80BVM, so does M1A2T when compared to both (which have higher winrate percentage), and again, regarding the first paragraph in my previous post, is this the vehicle being artificially nerfed or the players behind the wheel?
I’ve experienced better moments playing vehicles like AMX-30 Super which is (for some reason) considered a bad vehicle, even trying it out of its battle rating range of 9.3 while I had issues having same fun using machines like T-72A for example at the same battle rating, but this is subjective but it doesn’t means that french vehicles magically have advantages over Russian vehicles as you shared previously, unless we all are proved with internal data of this advantage that Russian vehicles have over any other, this “Russian bias is true” subject will always fall under when someone asks for proof of this.
I have no idea where you got that from, but anyway, it’s not mine and it’s outdated. I probably have a higher kill rate with the Abrams since I play it, but that doesn’t change what I’ve been saying. It’s funny how some players defend something that’s obviously unbalanced, even if that’s just their opinion. I don’t care about the nation, I just want them to fix something that’s broken. There’s no way every shot should be able to destroy the turret ring so easily. I also don’t pay much attention to players who only play arcade.
those are the same stats LMAO filtered for rank 7/8. abrams are fine and even a subpar player like you has better stats with the abrams than t-series so quit whining about murica suffers
Look, I don’t have time to waste on a Russian fanboy. I came to share my experience with the Abrams, not to argue with a wall. It’s my opinion based on my experience. If you don’t want to see it that way, that’s perfectly fine, but don’t tell me what I should or shouldn’t do.
I only see in the statistics that Russians are played much more than other nations, and yet they have a much higher KDA percentage, which proves me right.
Honestly, I don’t know if you don’t understand or if you just don’t want to. Just because I have a good KDA with the Abrams doesn’t mean there’s a flaw in the damage model. Let me explain it so you understand: ‘THE TURRET RING BREAKS EXTREMELY EASILY.’ That has nothing to do with whether I’m good or bad with the tank, but I don’t think you’ll get it, and you’ll probably come back saying I have a good KDA with the M1A2. Talking about a tank you haven’t even used is hypocritical
so you moved the goalposts from ‘m1a2 sux russian bias’ to ‘m1a2 is fine but it need buffz’? you got @Pangolin_Fan levels of delusion with the skills to match lmfao.
btw there is no proof of turret ring being underarmored ingame. irl people dont aim for weakspots so this or the driver hatch weakness is much less of a concern
Honestly, I don’t think you have the intelligence to understand what you read. You twist my words and just look for an easy argument. You have three miserable matches with the Abrams and come here talking nonsense. If you want to argue something, first gain some experience so you can actually give an opinion. People like you are better off staying quiet. Go back and read the post and try to understand it. I’m not going to respond again because you don’t deserve my time or my words.
If you have a negative kd and some go as low as 0.5, then it’s just an experience of you repeating mistakes bro we have players here literally do 5-6KD on the Abrams and they rated Abrams as the 2nd best top tier MBTs.
Another one who doesn’t understand anything. What does KDA have to do with the turret breaking easily? I really don’t know what kind of people are on this forum, but I don’t think I’ll post anything again. You’re just smart enough to breathe.
The problem with the Abrams is the 50mm thin turret ring and the turret basket, which i think only the Abrams and Leopard have it modeled, with the one on the M1 being the largest/most cluttered. (most of tanks also have this feature ready to be implemented but they won’t do it untill it’s ready for all tanks lmao)
This means that every shot is basically guaranteed to cause spall that hits the basket. Combine this with the turret ring that can be penetrated by 30mm autocannons from the front (from any distance) and you get a very frustrating experience.
If they fix this issue, then the Abrams would become the best MBT imo, but untill then you will get penetrated by rank I tanks from the front and you will like it.
Also don’t hold your breath. The turret ring issue has been accepted as a “suggestion” 2 years ago, and the fix is not coming any time soon.
Its already the best 10.7 (close tie with 2A4), best 11.3, best 11.7, best 12.0, and arguably better than Strv 122 and 2A7 in our current meta, but i’d say its a close tie.
