Why does it seem the M1 abrams is extremely underwhelming?

Oh that’s easy; it’s because apparently they can’t confirm whether 3rd Generation DU would be an upgrade or downgrade in protection over 2nd Generation DU.

Because this game is made by russians that seem tobelieve that the U.S Army never upgraded the armor of their tanks in over… 30+ years

IIRC, this refers to multi-hit durability.

But since armour fatigue isn’t modelled in War Thunder, it’s not really relevant.

I just want em to fix that turret neck bro, I cant even face AA guns without possibly being penetrated.

I think US top teir is over filled with premium players, and as somone with the leo 2pl and all Abrams in game, its 50/50. The Armor still needs to be buffed. Im tired of getting penned by T80s in the turret cheeks

Lol im talking about the edges and close to the edges, plus you chose the best angle for the shot.

Genuinely what are you about nothing you said there makes amy sense

What is this meant to prove you’re deliberately shooting at the armour at nearly 0°
Tell me when was the last time you got shot by a T-80 on a hill somehow looking down with its horrible gun depression while you purposefully make your armour weaker
Just shut up

30minutes Ago, and dont you realize the T80 has the ability to go down hill 😳! Also, you centered it over the center of the turret cheek, the problem is, nobody ever shoots their and more than often its not on level ground im fighting. I dont see the problem with adding more armor if according to you the t80 cant pen anyway

tbh the hull and turret(less so) likely underperform from some newish data

If you somehow let a T-80 climb over a hill and kill you with its slow ass gun handling its deserved

Genuinely what are you on about it doesn’t matter where you shoot the cheek frontally it cannot be penned the entire cheek is 660-760mm
you know your stats are pretty indicative of this delusiom right now

The first image pens because the shell hits the turret cheek but travels into the weaker mantlet armour

not sure what the second image is going for, I’ve never seen MiGs firing Invar missiles

Its the angle most times I get killed by T80 at

The only reason it happens is because all the Fucking premiums dying within 2minutes then leaving me and 2 other teammates to deal with all them. In my opinion it is Gijins fault for flooding top teir with premiums. People for some reason want to buy the Abrams.

So you’re admitting to being so blind you cant see a T-80 slightly to the right of you
