Gaijin Entertainment themselves officially stated that they didn’t give the Abrams DU armor. So we don’t have DU armor in the game. What we see on the new ABrahms, starting with the HC, is simply increased armor. They also increased the LFP. Or do you think the LFP also has DU armor?
[Development] Hull Armor of the M1 Abrams - News - War Thunder
T-72M1 vs Abrams is just coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb, so yeah. Either way, tanks should never really be put in a position where they need to be repaired. Which then kinda defeats the whole purpose of a tank, but that’s just how it is.
At least in modern warfare ofc. Air superiority and ability to utilize light and quick AT is really what matters when mounting an offensive.
but why no DU armor though??

an extra person also helps distribute the overall workload better. next gen tanks have much more automated and improved systems which is why they are moving to 3 crew, but for current MBT 4 does help
also, you still have to account for stuff going wrong when making anything combat related

It literally says it has DU
And the picture you provided earlier supports that DU should only be in the cheeks:
only for the m1a2 not the m1a1??
Ahahahaha. And won’t Russian tanks get stuck in the mud? I remember during one famous military campaign, Russian tanks sank in the spring mud in the first days of the campaign. Hundreds of them, in fact.
By current you mean the Abrams, which is more or less a 70’s tank, produced and serviced in the 80’s, but I still understand your sentiment.
Yes, modern intelligence networks and assisted computer systems are very nice in the new generation of warfare. This is especially important with aircraft for the past 30 years of sharing intel, now it’s working its way down to the ground.

abrams is old
the vast majority of tanks in service across the world are cold war designs
He’s talking about reality. That Uranium armor poses a danger to the crew. Learn to read already.
Fairly close to the T-80s in age if I recall, I think a few years younger
Because this is a Russian game and the Russian army must be the best in it.

But you also need to look the era when this tank being developed, they all developed during early 70s to late 80s, during this period the autoloader technology is still a new thing to all countries and they is quite unreliable, just look at the MBT-70 project and the T-64 as exmaple

Yes;
They’re very much correct. T-64 entered in 1966, T-72 in late 1973, both of which grew into the improved variants T-80 and T-90 respectively. That doesn’t exclude the leopard 2A in 1979 aside the Abrams.
The few exclusions are the Type 90 and the Leclerc, if you feel exotic, the K2 black panther, T-14/15 armata or Type 10.
If you wanna go SUPER exotic, talk about the KF-51, EMBT, or MGCS

Then you tried to prove that by linking a page where the SPECIFICLY state the Abrams in game has DU and that’s why it has more cheek armour.
yeah, the abrams isnt exactly unique in this area lol
The M1A2 is quite old. It’s from 1992. The SEP V2 is from 2006. The new Abrams SEPV3 and SEPV4, and the new M829A3 and M829A4 rounds, haven’t been added to the game. Although they’re not new either.
The M829A3 is from 2003, and the M829A4 is from 2015. Essentially, the US has the oldest Toptir weapons in the game.
