Why does Abrams have such weak armor?

US monthly win rate did go up a lot, like ~10%. It’s going to take a long time for the Abrams win rate to recover from the months and months of getting raped by Russian fantasy CAS. The stupid turret basket nerf is also going to delay the win rate recovery.

Something like NASAM 3, which is a new SPAA at top tier for US, is already showing a better win rate at ~48% because it somewhat stopped the Russian CAS.

Its not like US was amazing even before the said CAS

btw nasams 3 and claws both have their radars nerfed in game. In game the radars spin at around 12-15 rpm instead of 30. Theres a few bug reports that were accepted from the dev server but they never fixed it.

Yea it wasn’t amazing, but it wasn’t getting stomp by Russia either. The introduction of Su25 carrying Kh38MT started the whole mess, followed by Su34, and Su30SM and SM2. Gaijin suck at balancing ffs.

Yea the CLAWS and NASAM radar suck, it’s rlly holding it back from being a great AA. Right now it’s decent, not great.

also claws in game cant choose missile load even though the 9x and 120 literally use the same rail in game

IF they introduced the 38MT and SPICE and all that at the same time, do you think the reaction of the playerbase would be any different? Theres always gonna be some sort of a reason to moan about RU bias…though introducing 38MT or anything only for one certain nation KNOWING its gonna break the game is not good but as I said before, it pushed A LOT of people to run towards RU top tier thus buying premiums of all sorts and making Gaijin money…

if theres no russian bias explain the is-7, obj 279, bmp-t , and the gun accuracy of the 30mm 2a42

Yea that’s true, large percentage of the player base play Russia so it make sense for them to pushing people to buy more premium

IS-7 isn’t OP.
279 isn’t OP.
You mention the BMPT but ignore the T58 which had the same stats and only recently just had its BR changed.

IS-7 existed, Obj 279 existed, BMPT is a new vehicle and gaijin needs to make the sales so as ANY new vehicle in the game its op and as soon as the next next shiny thing comes out it will go down with the rest of the bunch…whats with the 2a42 accuracy?

Because the military have something called opsec and also information warfare. They might publish something and then do something similar/parrallel so enemy states don’t actually no for sure what their capabilities are.

Its though only spot u can somewhat decently kill it in action. Most of time die to abramsh cause their lowerplate is dart proof and reaction shot to it. Prolly die to abrams more than to any else tank tbh. Doesnt matter if I use german or rus armor for it.

the 2a42 has really bad barrel wobble irl

I disagree, Object 279 is ridiculously OP bro. Great gun, decent reload speed, amazing armor, good speed and mobility. Squadron battle is where the real meta comes out to play and if the BR is 9.0 and you see 4-8 object 279, you are going to get steam rolled. They could just hold down W key and point and click anyone in their path and rely on their trolly armor to tank shots. Not to mention its nearly immune to CAS

Yea T58 is also extremely stupid, Im not even gona defend that thing

You mean on the BMPT? Well afaik the guns are fixated and dont have any sort of recoil management so yeah they wobble. But the gun that is NOT firing is the one that wobbles more iirc. Wouldnt really matter in the game since the ranges at which we play are very small anyway for you to miss a target. IRL it doesnt matter since its used as an area weapon and not a precise shot since its main task is to moan down infantry in urban areas so that they dont shoot at the tanks

the bmp 2 gun is point and click in game
https://www.reddit.com/r/TankPorn/comments/1om94l6/bmp2_30mm_2a42_accuracy/

Guess what, EVERY tank in the game has hugely unrealistic precision…Why is the 2A42 an exception?

2A42 is different because its a more extreme example and if it were modeled properly it would make the russian helis unable to shred tanks from absurd distances

2A42 is NOT different than literally ANY gun in the game…they are all unrealistically precise to the same degree…the only reason its different is because its russian, lets be honest…
