The M1 is and always has been one of the strongest MBTs present at it’s Battle Rating.
Any buff is likely going to result in a BR increase given that Gaijin only cares about statistics, and the statistics for the M1 are already outstanding.
The Leopard 2A4 has worse firepower than the Abrams, but you’re still not satisfied?
20% faster reload rate on the M1 for only 11% worse penetration. I’ll take the reload advantage any day of the week given that both tanks have to aim for the same weakspots.
The M1 is doing quite well for itself by any metric you want to use.
It’s got a global 2.1 K/D and 2.4 K/M ratio, personally I’ve got a 6.5 K/D and 3.0 K/M ratio, even when comparing the vehicle’s capabilities it comes out on top:
Well you got your wish, since you thought the M1 was so good, M1 Abrams got bumped to 10.7, and now gets to face 11.3 vehicles. That 105mm with 372mm of pen gonna work wonders for you now.
At least RUs 10.3 didnt get bumped, so you’ll always have a fall back nation that’s even easier than the M1 at 11.3
Nope.
2S38s didnt get bumped,
T-72 Turms didnt get bumped
Strela didnt get bumped
T-80UD didnt get bumped
BMP2 didnt get bumped
Su-25K didnt get bumped
The only things that got bumped to 10.7 were Obj 292, T-72 Moderna and 2S6.
And the 292 should have been bumped to 11.3 at the very least, same with Moderna since its damage model is broken, and 2S6 would have been fine at 10.3
Obj 292 with 695mm of pen is better than even the 2A7’s DM53 at 652mm of pen bud, it absolutely deserves to be at 11.3 or higher along with other top tier rounds.
10.0 to 10.3 BR bump changes nothing lmao thats why i said it didn’t get bumped
10.3 to a 10.7 change is significant facing 11.3-11.7 is a big change.
Yeah, but it has a bad platform, awful gun handling, a 10 second reload, no MG, no smoke grenades, and poor survivability.
They are equivalent changes because nearly all 10.0+ tanks were moved up by 0.3. The only difference for the Abrams is that it no longer faces 9.3 tanks.
It has the same survivability (coded buffs) as any other T Series tank. And 10 second reload doesn’t justify a low BR, if that was the case then the Tiger 2 105 should be dropped to 6.0, by your logic, because ‘long reload’
No the only nations that were actually moved up a BR bracket were NATO nations, the difference is they now face 11.3-7 tanks and doesn’t see ‘10.3 only matches’ like it used to when it was actually balanced with the rare chance of a 9.7 down tier, while Russia still gets to face 9.7 matches because a +0.3 BR increase doesn’t compress it upward, like a 0.7 does
10.3 to 10.7 br bump changes nothing too… The entire TTGRB ceiling was raised to 12.0, so the only difference is that it no longer faces 9.3s that are effectively helpless against it.
It already faced 11.3s, now at worst it’s facing the T-72B3… Which it faced before.
It never faced T-72B3s before if at all very very rarely, and rarely faced T80s and T90As. Now that’s all well be fighting. Which isnt remotely fair with M774 as it had a hard time at 10.3 as it is. Leo 2AV 105mm is still 10.0 and it has a better APFSDS.
War Thunder isnt beating Bias allegations after this last BR change. If they didn’t hate USA back then, they sure do show it now.
Just like the other topic. M833 won’t change what M1 Abrams+ M774 can do or can’t do.
With M774 bug report being accept (flat pen would get below 350mm and angle pen lower) M833 will be a good replacement for M774 and make sure that M1 Abrams don’t have to come down in BR .
In the mean time even M735 fix would be appreciate for a lot of 105mm vehicles that still use this round.
F14 and f15e are pretty much the only broken aircraft, and f15 is also nerfed (same for f16c and f15e). Therre was never a universe in which USA wouldnt dominate toptier air after amraams got added. Thats how it has been since the 70s.
