Why does the XM1 Chrysler miss the M774 APFSDS

I have insane troubles to land a decent shot at T-72 MBT, Russians in general, because the M735 has only 291mm pen at 100mm, yes i do shoot the lower front plate but that doesnt seem to work either somehow.

The Chrysler has the M68 Gun, like the M60A3 TTS, so where is the issue in adding the M774 for the XM1 as well?

Because it is already really strong (mostly due to mobility) and M774 would put it up in br where it would no longer be that special

Because it is allready 2 low br, like that counterpart version of it.

With the xm1s they really just get insane mobility and some armor along with tons of ammo, but the darts having no after pen or actual pen is really the biggest downside along with the avg 6.7 ace reload of the br, if it gets a shell improvement or reload buff itll probably go up and uptier to fight t80s amd leo 2s

I agree on the mobility but that thing has no armor, just a fast glass cube

and even like that it has more armor than most tanks on that br

more than the Leos thats about it lol

yeah, Leos, Type 74, AMXs and other BluFor tanks

It has armor, more on the fact that its heatfs resistant, has some resistance to small cal and can richotet shots, with 1k kill in the chrylser it defo has some armor

The tank had way better pen on release, much closer to M774, and that tank would not be overpowered today. Just give it M774 and if it has to go to 9.7-10.0 thats the worst that will come of it

Probably 10.0, though the XM1s should also get access to smoke grenades.

The irony is they’re moving it to 9.7 already - might as well give it smoke nades and m774 and make it 10.0

Obligitory reminder that almost everything is moving up, and if everything is, nothing is

Fair point

Because M774 is for Abrams, and XM-1 is the pre-Abrams

If the reserve and low tier is not moved up, the WOII tanks get more breathing space.

Yes irony but they left T-72 1989 at this same BR

Because M774 was still in development when the early version of the Chrysler prototype was made. The best it could get is XM774

Except the reality is that some vehicles aren’t moving, ironically some of those that needed to be moved up the most.

Check XM dart vs this. Was already a pea shooter. Give XM higher BR if it needs it with upgraded rounds as its now pay for pain
