Its not allowed because this model of M1A1 didn’t have a commander sight. Commander control was done by duplicating the feed from the gunner sight.

Wait until you find out Challenger 2, Type 96P, etc have gen 2 thermals as premiums.
And Type 16 has gen 3 thermals as a premium.
the M1A1 Click-Bait is a USMC M1A1 HC, which did not have Gen 3 thermals nor CITV.
This community never fails to amaze me

It’s okay. Your takes balance out these ones.
They should take the route of the F-16AJ. It COULD mount gen 2 thermals, or even gen 3 thermals, so it should have them. It’s ridiculous how limited the US is in the thermals department when it historically has been the most advanced.
If they aren’t going to take those steps, then they should have added a tank with Gen 2/3 thermals instead, such as the M1A1 SA.

my thoughts exactly, absolutely lack perception outside of their own needs/wants.
Unable to even slightly comprehend anything else.
Something tells me you wouldn’t want that logic applied to other nations.
I can tell you have a hole in your wallet and an underbite from this post
False equivalence fallacy.
F-16AJ is a prototype and doesn’t have any equipment it didn’t have IRL.
M1A1 HC is a production tank and has all of its correct equipment.
your US teammate belike XDDDDDDDDDDD

It’s in a name.
Click-bait was a social experiment to see whether people would buy anything named Abrams

Oh I don’t at all. However this argument is often used. For example, if you find a prototype of the T-80B/U that has thermals, then it gets applied across the board to all the T-80B/Us. However if you find a prototype Abrams with DU armor, then it does not get applied for “reasons”…
Lots of vehicles are in fact fictional in the way that they are presented in the game in some aspect. I don’t see why the logic should cease to apply to a premium at 11.3 where all the competition has gen 2+ thermals.
they should just remove the click bait from the store permanently. 11.0 america is just awful, the teams are worse than they have ever been, having america on your match usually results in a steam roll.

Speaking of double standards, the only source that an F-16AJ prototype existed is a statement made in the Japanese House of Representatives. The HSTV-L on the other hand has similar support from the US House and testing documents supporting the claim that the round it has in-game should have 350+ mm of pen or greater.
Show me Leo 2 with gen 2 gunner thermals that is not 2A7 or 2PL lol. The only nation having more gen 1 gunner thermals at 11.7 tanks than Germany is Sweden with their Strvs and 2A6 simply cause they have more Leos than Germany.

That’s fair. Germany and Sweden should get them too. The leopards do have much stronger turrets though, so they at least have the benefit of players having to spend a bit more time to aim than on the abrams to make up for the thermals.
You do realize that the Click Bait is a tank that is a million times more agile? With incomparably better gun handling and firepower?
You’re gonna have them be the same BR because one has slightly better thermals? Or do you think the Click Bait (with the recently buffed reload) belongs anywhere else but 11.3?

Pro Tip : Don’t buy a Top Tier Premium but ones at around 8BR and have more fun with those if needed because Top Tier Matches suck and Gaijin won’t fix.
