What should I expect with the M1 Abrams?

To be fair, you wont have a good time regardless of tank if your team folds.

I usually stay on the flanks and try to survive. Or i charge to try to take out spawn campers then spawn my a10/a6e

What is spading?

Don’t play Top Tier Ground US, grind for the HSTV-L and then stop don’t go for the other Abrams variants (waste of time)

Abrams, good, team mates, bad. US mains generally speaking are ‘smart’

For the weight class and armor you get, the mobility is quite good, forwards and back. cough cough T-80. I mean the armor isn’t amazing but it’s certainly better than a light tank.

All I can say I Bias towards Russian and German/Swedish Mbts. Abrams is just as good as Leopard and Has better armor proven by nations that have used them AKA Ukraine. I know I sound Like a typical American Main but I actually Main German/America so I can attest to Abrams being lackluster but still fun.

When you fully research all of the mods for a vehicle, it gets a spade symbol on its picture in your lineup.

Just means that you have it at its full potential.

Here is a quick pic i found that shows the difference in picture.

you can get melee kills by ramming. Ive killed a KV1 be driving off a cliff onto it in a Churchill.

And I’ve heard of 70mph figures on highways and proving ground testing for Abrams, imagine the damage you could do

I mean something as light (by WT standards) as the fox ramming things at 100kph would probably destroy both vehicles so a 60+ton MBT would steamroll anything. Seeing how tanks carelessly crush cars is a good indicator of this

Would probably just crush any light vehicles like BMP or Puma and keep rolling. Against an MBT both would get messed up badly

For more conventional purposes it means the mobility of the Abrams is quite severely nerfed

yea something made of communist cardboard like the BMP and BTR should pretty much disintegrate when rammed by a MBT.

true for basically everything in WT, tanks cant climb hills they should be able to without caring, yet they either stall or don’t get any traction. not to mention how understeery wheeled vehicles are

Game could really use a ground mobility rework. Also swimming M113

would be nice to just have an overhaul update. vehicles traction is made realistic and regenerative steering is added to the vehicles that had it, that alone would make DOA vehicles like scimitar usable

Doesn’t it have a speed governor?

Iirc this was on early Abrams with governor removed/disabled

So would you want the newer Abrams variants to have their governor turned off in game?

I mean there’s no mechanic for things like maintenance in game so it could work but idk how balanced it would be.

Maybe have a button to turn it off but have a random chance of breaking down /s

They should all be able to remove/disable governor if possible, yes

I don’t know how balanced that would be in game if no consequence is added for using it.

Because then you’d open up the can of worms of pretty much every MBT getting a lot faster (or at least fans of that MBT wanting their tank to) which would make top tier light tanks worse and buff tanks that don’t need to be buffed. Like the 10.7 Leopard 2/Abrams, or the 12.0 Leopards.

Well, I guess for other tanks it could be like WEP where engine could overheat from pushing tank to those speeds but the gas turbine might be able to do it without too much issue

And I haven’t heard of any 60-70mph figures for leopard
