Why do the 10.7 Abrams have the worse round by a large margin?

I can tell you some basic advice. Play the Abrams like a light tank. It has the best mobility at that BR, as well as the reload. Use protection analysis to find the weakspots of tanks you struggle to penetrate, and don’t hesitate to shoot barrels.
Oh, and one thing, positioning matters. This is something you’ll learn with time but above everything else a good position on the map means everything.

Yeah I always do good in a flank but a good flanking map is few and far between. I always do good with my HSTV-L too ona flank

The M1 Abrams:
Cons: Armor cannot stop anything that has over 420mm ke, cannot stop high penning atgm(TOW-2 for example), overpressure by them and HE. At close range anything 400mm+ ke can pen you(this goes for left side turret, area close to the gunshield.
Another problem, cannot hull down at all. If you are in the 10.0-10.7 then maybe but if you are just slightly above or opponents have 430mm ke(assuming mid-long range), you are dead. Unangle turret is also death.
M774 is quite not enough for the BRs, there has been debate on giving it m833 which it should have but that aside, m774 can pen leos but when face things hull down, aim for weakspot or becoming free SL/RP. Thermal(i hate gen 1)
Otherwise, Pros:
Amazing mobility, even on par if not better than some light tanks out there. Good reload rate, turret traverse mid, very versatile for flanking, side shot(chance of you getting Gaijined increase cuz m774 is funny).
How to play: DO NOT head on engagement, just do not. Use its mobility to become an up armored light tank, become the rat camper(it has to be done), flank and retreat, strike when they are distracted/caught off guard(require brain).

55

It’s 11 but i’m also about to get the squadron one too so i’ll have a lineup

56

Ima be honest don’t buy into Russia. Go for Germany or Sweden, they’re your best options.

57

I already have the Mig 23ml but I guess I could go sweeden I already have that one light tank.

58

I went for Russia first because many said it was “OP” and super strong, which as it turns out, doesn’t hold true in 2025. CV90105 is an excellent light tank for grinding out Sweden :)
