I dont see your issue. I have the Chinese Abrams and since i spaded it i get arround 4 kills per spawn with it. Its not bad at all
“Accepted” means only it passed through initial screening, doesn’t mean Gaijin will act upon it in any capacity. And Snail has proven track record of fixing what they seem as issues. Bug reports not acted upon means it is intended feature.
Jst give us the Sep v3 bro

They can play other BRs btw, Rank 7-8 are not the only ranks in the game. The rest of the matches are in other ranks.
I looked at the profile, it just looks like the stats didnt update for a while. all of their shit together doesnt have 12k
Whats with the Abrams? How is it suddenly so overpowered? I cant even pen it anymore. Did I miss a patch?
nope, there weren’t any changes to the abrams, its most likely placebo

My friend using the Abrams says the same. And his win rate is through the roof all of a sudden.
I doubt this is placebo. They changed something about it. Feels more survivable when playing it and harder to kill

There is nothing about the Abrams in the recent datamine changelog. And from what I’ve just tested, spall is the same as it always was(aka shrapnel shower). 99.9% certain it’s placebo effect.

So are telling me all the Abrams players suddenly got god tier korean pro gamer level skill over night? Like my friend who usually got 1 to 2 kills per round but now averages 9 kills and was on average 20 sp away from a nuke 5 days in a row since whatever has changed? The same friend who is still absolute dogshit using his Russian top tier vehicles? And that my skill suddenly dropped by that same amount playing against the US also over night even though nothing changed?
I don’t know, man. All I’m telling you is that there is absolutely nothing regarding the Abrams or even generic damage model changes that could indirectly end up buffing it in any of the recent datamined patch notes.
Gzabi maintains here a meticulous datamined changelog of anything added, removed, or edited with each update because Gaijin has a tendency to sneak stealth changes that do not appear in official changelogs:

I have been one tapping them today exactly the same as I did before.

Seems like your usual autocannon schenanigans to me.
Just a few hours ago someone shared it happening to their T-72B3, so it’s not really an M1 problem.

I 100% agree. There is an autocannon meta and MBTs suffer because of it. But are you willing to agree/accept that the Abrams is one of the most susceptible to these shenanigans?
If you’re not convinced, I invite to to go to test drive with any autocannon (I use the 8.7 BMP) then aim at the center hull of the Abrams and see how fast you can kill it. Then do the same with a NATO IFV (I used the PUMA with APFSDS) on the T-90 and you will see the difference in consistency.

Arguable?

I don’t believe this illustrates a great point, out all of these examples it seems to me that the most obvious problem would be to get your ring disabled rather than losing a driver.

Not really. Just go into test drive and you will see how easy it is to render the abrams useless or destroy him. If you’re lucky with RNG it will only take 1 second.

It doesn’t.
Doesn’t that image prove exactly what he’s saying, though? The Abrams is one of the most vulnerable to random autocannons to the turret because of the armor hole there with crew right behind. It’s one of the few tanks where a random burst in your hulldown turret can snatch your crew members and instakill your turret control.
Only the Type 10 and Leclerc are equally suffering. The ZTZ-99 is only a breech weakspot so you don’t risk dying as much.
