I don’t understand why everybody says that Abrams get killed so easily because I play the Abrams and can survive many shots from every direction from multiple tanks. On the War Thunder Wiki when i looked what players said about any Abrams tank there is alway not good review for survivability, even on some videos on YouTube. But don’t get me wrong I also die sometimes on the first shot and I know about the weak spot on the turret ring but even if you get shot there you can survive a lot of times because you have 4 crew member. And I think that that makes a big difference because russian tanks have autoloader so they don’t have 4 crew member and gets killed almost always when the tank is penetrated. And when people rated russian tanks they would give them good survivability. Please tell what I am missing or if my information is wrong.
Sorry i just found that russian tanks have not great survivability from Wiki so sorry for that misinformation.
because people love complaining about anything they can complain about
you are basically correct about everything else with your reasoning
Might not be entirely true, but it might be due to the newer playerbase playing them before playing other tanks from other nations like France, Italy, Japan, China or Israel. That, and I don’t think many people will say their tank is survivable.
It doesn’t always reflect a comparison as whenever someone says their tank is not survivable, they might have not played other countries, so they might have not been able to compare them.
Oh, and there will always be the typical user who says their tank has got the worst armor in the game (be it true or not)
None of the mbts in game are really suvivable, abrams probably gets complained about the most because its the most popular tech tree and history channel lore.
Thank you everyone for your responses :)
Because you are using the right tank for yourself and therfore you are very good at playing it.
the average USA main is not a good player, the abrams is an easy 2nd place for best MBT in game.
USA players are extremely vocal and adamant to blame their tools and not themselves
I can’t speak for other people, but I can pretty confidently say that I one shot kill an Abrams 70-80% of the time if I can see it’s turret ring. The remaining 20-30% it’s usually mboility+firepower killed anyway.
There are a lot of factors though. If you play the Abrams hull down a lot you will usually survive more. Also not every player has equally good aim or knowledge of kill spots, so it is also very slightly based on luck.
Nation mains in general are usually mid at best. Watching nation mains shittalk is just watching mid bashing mid.
